Abstract: An alignment device for a ducted fuel injection system comprising a mounting block removably attachable to a duct of the ducted fuel injection system. The mounting block can include a passageway extending therethrough. The passageway can align with the duct when the mounting block is attached to the duct. The alignment device further comprises an imaging device configured to capture an image viewing through the duct toward an outlet of a fuel injector. A portion of the imaging device can extend in the passageway. The alignment device additionally comprises a centering structure configured to align a portion of the imaging device with a central axis of the duct. The image captured by the imaging device can be configured for use aligning a position of an outlet of a fuel injector with respect to a position of the duct.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for an automation application is described herein. The automation applications present the GUI on a display. The GUI displays a directed graph representing a macro for a target application. The directed graph comprises nodes and directed edges connecting the nodes. Each node in the node in the nodes is assigned to an input received by the target application during recording of the macro. Each directed edge is assigned criteria that are to be satisfied in order to traverse each directed edge. Responsive to receiving a modification to the directed graph, the automation application displays a modified directed graph based upon the modification. The automation application generates a modified macro based upon the modified directed graph.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle is described herein. The autonomous vehicle includes a lidar sensor system. The autonomous vehicle additionally includes a computing system that executes a lidar segmentation system, wherein the lidar segmentation system is configured to identify objects that are in proximity to the autonomous vehicle based upon output of the lidar sensor system. The computing system further includes a deep neural network (DNN), where the lidar segmentation system identifies the objects in proximity to the autonomous vehicle based upon output of the DNN.

Abstract: The methods and compounds disclosed herein relate to the surface modification of UHMWPs by means of a catalytic C—H bond insertion catalyst using a rhodium catalysts in conjunction with carbene-generating diazo compounds. The catalytic treatment imparts covalently added functionality to the UHMWPE surface. This functionality acts as an excellent grafting mechanism for grafting, bonding, or adhering further materials to the UHMWPs surface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing digital assistance. One system includes at least one electronic processor configured to access data representing historical tasks performed by a user through at least one user device, determine, based on the data, a first plurality of tasks associated with a life event of the user, and store an association between the first plurality of tasks and the life event. The electronic processor is also configured to, in response to a current occurrence of the life event experienced by the user, retrieve the association and generate a user interface for display to the user, the user interface including a second plurality of tasks for addressing the current occurrence of the life event based on the first plurality of tasks.

Abstract: A computing system that can receive an object search request from a user indicating a request to search for a specific object in an area traversed by one or more autonomous vehicle. The object search request can include a set of physical characteristics of the specific object. The computing system can then transmit a signal to an autonomous vehicle indicating a request for the autonomous vehicle to search for the specific object. The signal can cause the autonomous vehicle to transmit an image, selected based on a physical characteristic of the object, to the computing system. The computing system can then generate a score indicative of a difference between one or more physical characteristic of the object in the image and the specific object. The computing system can then selectively transmit the image to a mobile device operated by the user based on the score.

Abstract: A laminate comprising a first ply, a second ply, and a third ply which sandwiching the second ply between the first ply and the third ply. The laminate further includes a first plurality of interfacial modifiers arranged between opposing faces of the first ply and the second ply. The first plurality of interfacial modifiers are arranged in a first pattern. The laminate includes a second plurality of interfacial modifiers arranged between opposing faces of the second ply and the third ply such that the first plurality of interfacial modifiers and the second plurality of interfacial modifiers are arranged on opposite faces of the second ply. The second plurality of interfacial modifiers are arranged in a second pattern. The first pattern and the second pattern are configured to increase crack growth resistance of the laminate by selectively toughening portions of the laminate to control propagation of interfacial cracks within the laminate.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing a preload to mated pipes including a ring-shaped body formed by a sidewall and an attachment structure on a portion of the body. The ring-shaped body includes an aperture that extends through the sidewall. The attachment structure corresponds to an attachment portion of a pipe in the mated pipes and the attachment structure enables removable fastening of the body to the pipe. The apparatus may further include an adjustable preload mechanism that can be removably attached to the body to hold the body in a preloaded position. The preload mechanism can be adjusted to release a portion of the preload held by the body.
