Abstract:
In various example embodiments, a system and method for determining a haul weight are disclosed. A method includes, determining that one or more vehicle performance parameters fall within a threshold range, storing a plurality of data pairs that include longitudinal acceleration and drive force, determining a slope of a line that linearly approximates the plurality of data pairs, and determining the weight being hauled by the vehicle by subtracting the weight of the vehicle from the value representing the slope of the line.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a motor and a drum rotated by the motor to draw in or let out a line from the drum. The drum includes a groove formed in an outer surface thereof to accommodate the line. In certain embodiments, a depth of the groove is equal to or greater than a radius of the line. In the same or other embodiments, a passive guide that physically engages and tracks the groove may be used to guide the line into the groove.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a drum to draw in or let out a line and a motor coupled to the drum to apply a torque thereto. The drum includes a groove formed in an outer surface thereof to accommodate the line. A roller is provided that tracks the groove and extends into the groove. The roller pushes the line into the groove. In certain embodiments, the roller pushes the line to a bottom of the groove to ensure that the line is properly seated therein.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a drum to draw in or let out a line, and a motor and transmission coupled to the drum to apply a torque thereto. In certain embodiments, the motor and transmission are substantially entirely contained within the drum. In the same or other embodiments, a bearing may provide support for both the transmission and the drum.
Abstract:
Various technologies described herein pertain to using detected physical gestures to cause calls to transfer between client devices. A physical gesture between a first client device and a second client device can be detected (e.g., utilizing the first client device, the second client device, a disparate client-side device, a server, etc.). The first client device participates in a call, while the second client device is not participating in the call at a time of the detection of the physical gesture. Responsive to detection of the physical gesture, participation of the second client device in the call can be initiated. Participation of the second client device in the call can be initiated by causing the call to transfer from the first client device to the second client device or causing the second client device to join the call while the first client device continues to participate in the call.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a combination of syrosingopine and a mitochondrial inhibitor, e.g. metformin or oligomycin, and the use of the combination of syrosingopine and a mitochondrial inhibitor for the treatment of cancer and for achieving immunosuppression. The invention also relates to a fluorescence-based method for predicting syrosingopine sensitivity of a cancer cell.
Abstract:
A device identifies users who is trying to interact with it and monitors their state. Using this user state information, the device dynamically adjusts a user interface, speech grammars, screen flow, input options, and the like to tailor interaction with the device to the user. The user interface and device interaction may also be influenced by user-specific settings or profiles. The device may prevent or allow user interaction with the device based on the user's state, such as a position relative to the device. For example, the device may prevent or allow the user from using a set of speech or gesture commands or other interaction sets based on the user's position or relative location.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer program products for facilitating web-based interaction with a local system are disclosed. Such systems, methods, and computer program products provide an approach that allows a web client within in a web browser environment to access local hardware and local software—via a web server contained in the local system—in a local computer system. In response to a user input, the web client directs local hardware and local software to perform actions (e.g., writing files and taking pictures). Information related to such actions is returned to the web client via the local web server. The local computer system may be remotely located from the web client and such returned information may be stored and/or executed at a remote site (e.g., cloud database). Security layers may be provided to authenticate the user as well as user permissions for accessing the local computer system.
Abstract:
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for adjusting user interfaces based on entity location. Embodiments of the invention provide applications (or an operating system) with entity distance/proximity data. Applications can then scale content appropriately based on the proximity data. An operating system contains a distance/proximity driver framework for distance/proximity aware hardware sensors (IR, Radar, capacitive, camera, other). The proximity framework performs distance/proximity/number of viewers calculations from sensor data to formulate proximity data. From the proximity data, an application can determine how to scale user interface data.
