Abstract: A safety mechanism for use on a vehicle is provided. The safety mechanism comprises a buffer and a sensor that is configured to send an electrical signal to processing circuitry in the vehicle when the sensor is activated. Sufficient movement of the buffer activates the sensor. A drive line may also be provided with the buffer connected to the drive line.

Abstract: Structured data templates and invocation statements may be used to dynamically define values, which allows for more efficient data encoding than traditional techniques. A given structured data template may be assigned a template identifier. A writer may generate an invocation statement that references a template identifier for a particular structured data template in order to generate a more compact representation of a structured portion of source data (based on the structured data template matching the structured portion of data). The structured data template may specify that any number of the fields is an “unassigned” field. The invocation statement may specify values for these fields, resulting in a more compact representation of the structured portion of data. The use of an invocation statement and a structured data template eliminates the repetitive scaffolding of an object being written out.

Abstract: Systems and methods of generating a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of a scene or environment surrounding a user of a spatial computing system, such as a virtual reality, augmented reality or mixed reality system, using only multiview images comprising RGB images, and without the need for depth sensors or depth data from sensors. Features are extracted from a sequence of frames of RGB images and back-projected using known camera intrinsics and extrinsic s into a 3D voxel volume wherein each pixel of the voxel volume is mapped to a ray in the voxel volume. The back-projected features are fused into the 3D voxel volume. The 3D voxel volume is passed through a 3D convolutional neural network to refine the and regress truncated signed distance function values at each voxel of the 3D voxel volume.

Abstract: An example method to facilitate online collaboration includes granting access to a collaboration space to multiple client devices, each associated with a corresponding one of multiple users, the multiple users including a first user and a second user. The method includes receiving input from the first user to create a first set of graphical objects in the collaboration space. The method includes receiving input from the second user to create a second set of graphical objects in the collaboration space. The method includes applying different visual attributes to graphical objects authored by different users to visually identify an author or creator of each graphical object such that all graphical objects of the first set of graphical objects have a first visual attribute and all graphical objects of the second set of graphical objects have a second visual attribute that is different than the first visual attribute.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for roadway construction management and safety. Roadway construction is inherently filled with danger and obstacles which require an orchestrated set of management policies and safety procedures. The disclosed embodiments improve roadway construction management as well as roadway construction safety through use of autonomous vehicular control and positioning systems. Further, the improvements allow remote control and overall access to roadway safety vehicles in the roadway construction zones in which potential hazards may occur. The use of such embodiments reduces the human capital requirement as well as reduces the risk of casualty and loss of life for both the roadway construction workers and roadway travelers traversing roadway construction zones.

Abstract: A control system and method control release of a braking device from a wheel or disc. Release of the braking device is slowed or stopped based on a speed at which the braking device is released. The braking device may include a return limiting device through which a rod is configured to move. The return limiting device permits the rod to slide within the return limiting device while the brake pad holder releases from the wheel or disc no faster than a designated speed, but engages and restricts movement of the rod within the return limiting device while the brake pad holder releases from the wheel or disc faster than the designated speed.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing weighted plates to a barbell or dumbbell, and a method of using said apparatus, are provided. A mounting subassembly includes an actuator for expanding and retracting the mounting subassembly, and a mount for securing the mounting subassembly to an edge of a sleeve or handlebar of the barbell or dumbbell. A weight retaining mechanism is disposed about the mounting subassembly in a collapsed state. Weighted plates may be placed over the mounting subassembly and weight retaining mechanism on the barbell or dumbbell sleeve when both are in their retracted and collapsed states, respectively. The weight retaining mechanism is expandable to a diameter larger than the barbell or dumbbell sleeve via engagement of the actuator to expand the mounting subassembly. The weight retaining mechanism may then slide up the sleeve, and rest against the weighted plates to secure them in place on the barbell or dumbbell.

Abstract: Portions of a multidimensional index for a database table may be selectively scanned for processing queries. A query may be received for a database table with a multidimensional index. A range of the multidimensional index may be identified for processing the query. Items mapped to different portions of the query may be scanned to apply the query. Some portions adjacent to a scanned portion may be skipped upon a determination that the adjacent portion does not include items that can satisfy the query. A result based on the scan operations can be provided in response to the query.
