Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for query clarification are described. Data from a corpus is automatically labelled using a trained classifier. The labels are assigned to indicator variables that each relate to the context of each data. During query, a decision tree is generated from the search results in such a way as to maximize information gain obtainable from a question:answer pair that can be posed to the user. The search results can be narrowed by obtaining the answer and correspondingly pruning the decision tree.

Abstract: A technique of improving the hydrogenation reaction of diene-based polymers, present in aqueous suspension, by in-situ synthesizing the catalyst in the presence of a specific aliphatic alcohol is disclosed. The process allows the selective hydrogenation of the carbon-carbon double bonds in the diene-based polymers with a high degree of hydrogenation and short reactions times. The improved process eliminates the complicated catalyst synthesis operations so far necessary.

Abstract: The present invention relates to curing of polymers, particularly to self curing of polymers. The present invention provides a process for curing of copolymers of isoolefins and olefinic monomers. The process includes the step of reacting the copolymer with an azidation reagent to form an azidated copolymer and then heating the azidated copolymer at a suitable temperature to cure the polymer.

Abstract: A monocular camera system for a vehicle includes a front mono camera, a side mono camera, and one or more controllers in electronic communication with the front mono camera and the side mono camera. The one or more controllers execute instructions to determine an ideal lagged distance the vehicle travels between a current time step and a previous time step as two asynchronous camera frames are captured by the front mono camera and the side mono camera, determine a number of delayed frames captured by either the front mono camera or the side mono camera between the current time step and the previous time step based on the ideal lagged distance. The controllers determine a direction of travel of the vehicle that indicates which mono camera is selected to provide a previous camera frame captured at the previous time step.

Abstract: A system for managing vehicle body and wheel motion control with a dual clutch differential includes sensors and actuators disposed on the vehicle, the sensors measuring real-time static and dynamic data and the actuators altering static and dynamic behavior of the motor vehicle. A control module executes program code portions stored in memory. The program code portions receive the real-time static and dynamic data; selectively prioritize torque output from a prime mover of the vehicle through the differential to driven wheels of the vehicle to control a body and the driven wheels; model and estimate clutch torque for each clutch of the dual clutch differential; model and estimate a joint clutch torque, a tire force, and corner torque; and generate a torque output for each clutch of the dual clutch differential that is selected to maintain one or more of body control, wheel control, and stability of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A method for determining a tire tread wear estimation of a tire includes receiving, by a controller, a direct tire tread wear measurement, when available, performing an indirect tire tread wear estimation, performing a data fusion of the indirect tire tread wear estimation with the direct tire tread wear measurement when available, estimating a percentage tire life remaining and a mileage to end of tire life, and estimating a refined tire tread wear calibration coefficient for performing future indirect tire tread wear estimations.
