Abstract: In various examples, physical sensor data may be generated by a vehicle in a real-world environment. The physical sensor data may be used to train deep neural networks (DNNs). The DNNs may then be tested in a simulated environment—in some examples using hardware configured for installation in a vehicle to execute an autonomous driving software stack—to control a virtual vehicle in the simulated environment or to otherwise test, verify, or validate the outputs of the DNNs. Prior to use by the DNNs, virtual sensor data generated by virtual sensors within the simulated environment may be encoded to a format consistent with the format of the physical sensor data generated by the vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for determining ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), or a combination thereof in a blood sample obtained from a subject. Also disclosed herein are systems and methods for determining CK-MB, ?-hCG, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), homocysteine, free thyroxine (free T4) or any combinations thereof in a blood sample.

Abstract: A polymer processing aid (PPA) reduces melt defects in extruded polyolefins in the absence of fluoropolymers. The polymer processing aid comprises a polyalkylene glycol such as a polyethylene glycol together with a high pressure low density polyethylene (LDPE) and reduces melt defects well in a thermoplastic polyolefin such as a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE).

Abstract: A valve assembly for controlling the release or delivery of a fire suppression medium from a vessel, the assembly comprising an inlet connectable to a pressurised vessel, an outlet connectable to a delivery device, a valve operable to selectively open or close fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet, an opening device for moving the valve from a closed condition to an open condition, first and second actuators and an environmental triggering device, wherein the opening device is operable, in use, remotely by the first actuator or manually by the second actuator or automatically by the environmental triggering device. A fire suppression system employing the above-described valve and a vehicle including the fire suppression system also form a part of this invention.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly (1) for controlling the release or delivery of a fluid or other medium from a vessel. The nozzle assembly (1) comprises a body (2) having a longitudinal and latitudinal dimension and having an inlet (6) and a plural outlets (24a, 24b, 24c), release means (4) and valve means (5) operable to selectively open or close fluid communication between the inlet (6) and the outlets (24a, 24b, 24c), wherein the valve means (5) is biased, in use, toward an open position or condition such that operation of the release means (4) causes or permits the valve means (5) to move or change to the open position or condition, fluid being flowable with the valve means (5) in the open position or condition, from the inlet (6) to the outlets (24a, 24b, 24c) and flowing from the outlets (24a, 24b, 24c) in different directions to define a flow or spray pattern which subtends an angle of less than 360° in both the longitudinal and latitudinal directions.

Abstract: A valve assembly for controlling the release or delivery of a fluid or other medium from a vessel. The valve assembly comprises an inlet, an outlet, valve means operable to selectively open or close fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet and lock means for engaging the valve means, wherein the lock means is configured to engage, in use, the valve means when it opens, thereby to lock the valve means in an open condition.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a first plate being configured for supporting a quantity of tissues within a tissue dispenser box. A second plate is configured for resting on a bottom portion of the tissue dispenser box. A resilient structure is configured for urging the first plate in an upward direction. The resilient structure is further configured to be positioned between the first plate and the second plate. Attachment mechanisms are joined to a bottom portion of the first plate and a top portion of the second plate. The attachment mechanisms are configured for joining the resilient structure to the first plate and the second plate.

Abstract: A filter for preventing uncertain bits output by test scan chains from being provided to a MISR is provided. The filter can include a gating structure for receiving a bit from a scan chain and control circuitry for providing a predetermined signal to the gating structure if the bit is an uncertain bit. In one embodiment, the gating structure can include a logic gate, such as an AND or an OR gate. The control circuitry can include components substantially similar to the pattern generator providing signals to the scan chain. For example, the control circuitry can include an LFSR and a PRPG shadow for loading the LFSR. In one embodiment, the control circuitry can further include a phase-shifter for receiving inputs from the LFSR and providing outputs to the gating structure.
