Abstract: Composite springs, composite spring assemblies, medical devices including the same, and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. The composite springs may comprise alternating layers of carbon fiber and fiberglass materials. A strengthening adhesive, such as an epoxy, may be used to bind the carbon fiber and fiberglass materials. A dampening member may be attached to the composite spring, thereby at least partially defining a composite spring assembly. The dampening member may dampen elastic/spring forces of the composite spring. The composite spring assembly may be attached to an orthotic device to provide a non-linear spring response during movement of the device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to corrugated pipe, and more particularly to corrugated pipe with an outer wrap. In one embodiment, a pipe includes an axially extended bore defined by a corrugated outer wall having axially adjacent, outwardly-extending corrugation crests, separated by corrugation valleys. The pipe also includes an outer wrap applied to the outer wall. The outer wrap may include fibers and plastic. The outer wrap may span the corrugation crests producing a smooth outer surface.

Abstract: An electric loader is provided with a plurality of independently driven wheels. For example, a four-wheeled electric loader includes four independently operated wheels, each directly coupled to a dedicated electric motor. A fifth independent electrical motor powers the lift arm and/or any attachments coupled to an auxiliary hydraulic. A central forced-air system supplies pressurized air to each independent electric motor to cool the electric motor during operation. In some embodiments, the auxiliary electric motor powers the fan and/or air conditioner of the central forced-air system. A lever and/or electric brake may be applied to an axle of the electric motors. A pivotable battery panel locks a plurality of battery cells to provide a central source of power, counter-weight the loader arm, and rotate away to provide the operator access to an internal cavity of the cab.

Abstract: Systems and methods for pass zone vehicle control include receiving, via wireless communications, respective vehicle data for each of a plurality of vehicles on a roadway, the vehicle data including at least speed and location data. A set of current pass zones and a set of current no-pass zones on the roadway is determined based on the speed and location data from the plurality of vehicles, a set of static no-pass zones, and a set of static pass zones. A control parameter is then transmitted for a candidate passing vehicle in the plurality of vehicles, wherein the control parameter is determined based on the set of current pass-zones and the set of current no-pass zones.

Abstract: Disclosed electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring and detection systems and methods can detect differentiated electrographic seizure characteristics of different seizure types across a diverse group of patients. Disclosed systems and methods can utilize EEG data collected by discrete wireless EEG sensors positioned on a scalp of a patient.

Abstract: Upon detecting an accumulation of snow on a driving surface, a driving path from a first location to a second location is identified. A vehicle is operated from the first location to the second location and then to a third location that is identical to or proximate to the first location.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data using a network computers. A hierarchy model that includes edges that represent dependency relationships between fields may be generated. In response to a query for determining values of metadata associated with an anchor field performing further actions, including: traversing the hierarchy model upwards from the anchor field based on the query, and in response to visiting field nodes in the hierarchy model, collecting the values of the metadata that correspond to the visited field node and terminating the traversal based on a type of the query; in response to visiting a calculation node, terminating the traversal of the hierarchy model associated with the visited calculation node; and in response to visiting a flow node that is dependent on two or more other nodes, terminating the traversal of the hierarchy model. The collected metadata may be provided in a response to the query.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method of re-projecting and combining sensor data of a scene from a plurality of sensors for visualization. The method including: receiving the sensor data from the plurality of sensors; re-projecting the sensor data from each of the sensors into a new viewpoint; localizing each of the re-projected sensor data; combining the localized re-projected sensor data into a combined image; and outputting the combined image. In a particular case, the receiving and re-projecting can be performed locally at each of the sensors.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing systems, devices, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for loading new powder into a three-dimensional printer, e.g., during the printing. The manner of loading the new powder may reduce degradation of the powder and/or reduce in the printed 3D object an amount of reaction product(s) of the powder with reactive agent(s) present in the atmosphere.
