Abstract: An intelligent traffic control system may be configured to manage autonomous vehicle traffic, such as by communicating with autonomous vehicles. The intelligent traffic control system may be configured to output an indication of a traffic control command to autonomous vehicles and non-autonomous vehicles. The intelligent traffic control system may be configured to determine traffic control commands for autonomous vehicles and non-autonomous vehicles.

Abstract: A system for managing a fleet of shared autonomous vehicles may comprise a plurality of specialized sub-systems. The sub-systems may coordinate to service requested rides using the vehicles. The system may comprise a reservation system configured to receive a request for a ride from a user device. The system may comprise a coordination system configured to determine a price for the requested ride. The system may comprise a routing system configured to determine a vehicle of the fleet to service the requested ride and/or a route for the requested ride. The determined vehicle may be caused to service the requested ride.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate an aircraft system model using a standardized architecture. An example apparatus includes a model generator to generate an aircraft system model of an aircraft system based on a standardized architecture, a model integrator to integrate the aircraft system model into an integrated aircraft system model, a power sequencer to perform a power sequence test on the integrated aircraft system model, and a report generator to generate a report including a result of the power sequence test.

Abstract: A new immunoassay system is provided for the detection of ligands or ligand binding partners in solution in a heterogeneous format. The invention relies upon the detection of back scattered light from an evanescent wave disturbed by the presence of a colloidal gold label brought to the interface by an immunological reaction. The evanescent wave existing at the interface in turn is the result of a totally internally reflected incident light wave. Placement of the detector at a back angle above the critical angle insures a superior signal-to-noise ratio.

Abstract: A diluted whole blood sample is hydrodynamically focused to a given point. A light beam is transversely focused on the same point and the principles of dark field microscopy are utilized, detecting scattered light and thereby discriminating platelets from red blood cells based on cell volume and refractivity.
