20140368358 | SMART AND SCALABLE URBAN SIGNAL NETWORKS: METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL - Scalable urban traffic control system has been developed to address current challenges and offers a new approach to real-time, adaptive control of traffic signal networks. The methods and system described herein exploit a novel conceptualization of the signal network control problem as a decentralized process, where each intersection in the network independently and asynchronously solves a single-machine scheduling problem in a rolling horizon fashion to allocate green time to its local traffic, and intersections communicate planned outflows to their downstream neighbors to increase visibility of future incoming traffic and achieve coordinated behavior. The novel formulation of the intersection control problem as a single-machine scheduling problem abstracts flows of vehicles into clusters, which enables orders-of-magnitude speedup over previous time-based formulations and is what allows truly real-time (second-by-second) response to changing conditions. | 12-18-2014 |

20110126843 | Limb Support Device - One embodiment comprises a limb support device that includes a vertical support, a base connected to a lower end of the vertical support and a head portion connected to an upper end of the vertical support. In this embodiment, the base includes a set of foldable legs that can be positioned upward, where each leg is substantially parallel to the vertical support, or downward, where each leg is substantially perpendicular to the vertical support so that the vertical support is held upright. The head portion has a generally concave saddle that can hold a limitation above the vertical support. The saddle can be pivoted so that it can be positioned at a variable angle with respect to the vertical support. The vertical support itself is adjustable in length. | 06-02-2011 |

20140150863 | Directionally Controlled Elastically Deployable Roll-Out Array - A directionally-controlled roll-out elastically deployable solar array structure is disclosed. The structure includes one or more longitudinal elastic roll out booms that may be closed section or open section to allow for efficient rolled packaging onto a lateral mandrel. A flexible photovoltaic blanket is attached to a tip structure and to a lateral base support structure, but remains uncoupled from the longitudinal booms. The solar array system may be stowed simultaneously into a rolled package comprised of the roll out booms and the flexible planar blanket together, or onto independent rolls. Alternatively, the system may be stowed by rolling the booms, and accordion Z-folding the hinged flexible photovoltaic blanket into a flat stack. Structural deployment is motivated by the elastic strain energy of the roll out booms, and several methods of deployment direction control are provided to ensure a known, controlled, and unidirectional deployment path of the elastically unrolling booms. | 06-05-2014 |

20140216399 | METHODS FOR ADJUSTING ENGINE THROTTLE ON VEHICLE WITH GENERATOR - A method is performed by a controller on a vehicle. The method includes determining a rotational speed of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle. In response to confirming occurrence of at least one first condition, the controller determines whether the rotational speed is within a first range. Upon determination by the controller that the rotational speed of the crankshaft is within the first range, the controller initiates engagement of a clutch to result in coupling of the crankshaft with a rotor of a generator. While the clutch is engaged, the controller determines whether the rotational speed of the crankshaft is within a second range. The controller adjusts the throttle of the internal combustion engine upon determination by the controller that the rotational speed of the crankshaft is not within the second range, to bring the rotational speed of the crankshaft into the second range. | 08-07-2014 |
20140216841 | GENERATORS AND VEHICLES HAVING AUXILIARY POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS - A vehicle includes a generator coupled with an internal combustion engine and configured to produce generated electrical power in response to operation of the internal combustion engine. The generator includes a rotor, a stator, and a clutch configured to selectively disengage the rotor. The vehicle also includes a controller coupled with the generator, a power receptacle, and an operator control device. Generators are also provided. | 08-07-2014 |
20140265028 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING INDICIA ON PANELS - A die in combination with a panel includes a die and a panel. The die includes a stamping surface and an outer edge. The panel includes an outer surface, and the outer surface includes a recessed portion. The recessed portion includes a contact surface, indicia on the contact surface, and a non-contact surface. The contact surface has a perimeter, and the non-contact surface defines a channel, which is positioned adjacent the perimeter of the contact surface and at least partially surrounds the contact surface. Methods of forming indicia on a panel are also discussed. | 09-18-2014 |

20140223415 | METHOD FOR MODELING SOURCE CODE HAVING CODE SEGMENTS THAT LACK SOURCE LOCATION - A system and method for modeling code segments that do not have a location is disclosed. Source code may be indexed and modeled in a data graph with nodes representing code elements and edges representing relationships between nodes. However, some code elements may be hidden or implicit and therefore may lack location information. In these cases, code figments are created and represented as nodes in the graph. Figment nodes may be specially designated so that the figment nodes may be easily distinguished from real source code nodes. The graph is then updated to include location information for the code figments in the nodes that interact with the hidden or implicit code. The data graph may then be provided to a user or as a service to be used by coding tools. | 08-07-2014 |
