The first NOx sensor is in fluid communication with exhaust to detect a first NOx value of the exhaust gas at a location upstream of the SCR module. The second NOx sensor is in fluid communication with exhaust to detect a second NOx value of the exhaust gas at a location downstream of the SCR module. The control module is in communication with the first NOx sensor, the SCR module, and the second NOx sensor to calculate a numeric value of the concentration of the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) based on a conversion ratio. The conversion ratio is calculated according to a NOx differential between the first NOx sensor and the second NOx sensor relative to a predicted NOx differential for a given amount of DEF injected. | 04-21-2016 |

Otherwise, the shader is compiled to produce the shader binary for execution by the graphics processor and storing the shader binary in the memory. The shader binary is associated with the computed key and the copy of the computed key. | 02-13-2014 |

20140011034 | GRAPHITE OXIDE COATED PARTICULATE MATERIAL AND USES THEREOF - A process for conversion of conventional sand granules (or other particulates) to a ‘core-shell’ adsorbent granules in which GO (or GO-f) coating imparts nano structural features on the surface of the sand granules (or other particulates). Such materials are useful in a variety of engineering applications such as water purification, catalysis, capacitors, proppants, casting, and magnetic shielding. | 01-09-2014 |

20140052491 | Incorporating A Repair Vendor Into Repair Planning For A Supply Chain - One embodiment includes a computer-implemented system for incorporating a repair vendor into repair planning for a supply chain. The system accesses a logical representation of the supply chain, access an inventory plan for the supply chain, and generates a replenishment plan for meeting the inventory plan for the supply chain that includes suggested repair orders. Unserviceable parts in the supply chain are moved from the supply chain to the repair vendor, repaired at the repair vendor, and moved from the repair vendor back to the supply chain to meet the requirements for serviceable parts at the locations in the supply chain according to the suggested repair orders. | 02-20-2014 |

20140172424 | PRESERVING AUDIO DATA COLLECTION PRIVACY IN MOBILE DEVICES - Techniques are disclosed for using the hardware and/or software of the mobile device to obscure speech in the audio data before a context determination is made by a context awareness application using the audio data. In particular, a subset of a continuous audio stream is captured such that speech (words, phrases and sentences) cannot be reliably reconstructed from the gathered audio. The subset is analyzed for audio characteristics, and a determination can be made regarding the ambient environment. | 06-19-2014 |
20140207727 | DETERMINING A DYNAMIC USER PROFILE INDICATIVE OF A USER BEHAVIOR CONTEXT WITH A MOBILE DEVICE - Methods, apparatuses and articles of manufacture for use in a mobile device to determine whether a dynamic user profile is to transition from a first state to a second state based, at least in part, on one or more sensed indicators. The dynamic user profile may be indicative of one or more current inferable user behavior contexts for a user co-located with the mobile device. The mobile device may transition a dynamic user profile from a first state to a second state, in response to a determination that the dynamic user profile is to transition from the first state to the second state, and operatively affect one or more functions performed, at least in part, by the mobile device based, at least in part, on the transition of the dynamic user profile to the second state. | 07-24-2014 |
20150043362 | Method and Apparatus for Wireless Network Data Collection - A method on an electronic device for a wireless network is described. A first set of unique wireless access point IDs is collected. A second set of unique wireless access point IDs is collected. The first set and the second set are compared to determine intersecting wireless access point IDs and non-intersecting wireless access point IDs of the second set. If the number of intersecting wireless access point IDs meets an intersection threshold for the first set, the non-intersecting wireless access point IDs of the second set are added to the first set. A confidence level is updated for the unique wireless access point IDs of the first set that correspond to the intersecting wireless access point IDs. Geographic information is determined for the unique wireless access point IDs of the first set that meet a confidence threshold. | 02-12-2015 |
20150334532 | Running Location Provider Processes - Examples describe methods, computing devices, and systems for using location provider (LP) processes to accurately identify a proximate location of a computing device, while reducing the power consumption of the computing device. An example method may include executing, on a computing device, both a first LP process and a second LP process simultaneously for at least part of a time period to determine outputs indicative of locations of the computing device for the time period. Further, the method may include determining a motion model of the computing device that indicates expected locations of the computing device. Yet further, the method may include making a comparison of the outputs to the motion model for the time period. In addition, the method may include disabling one of the LP processes based on the comparison. | 11-19-2015 |

20080311745 | High Temperature Processing Compatible Metal Gate Electrode For pFETS and Methods For Fabrication - A method for fabricating a CMOS gate electrode by using Re, Rh, Pt, Ir or Ru metal and a CMOS structure that contains such gate electrodes are described. The work functions of these metals make them compatible with current pFET requirements. For instance, the metal can withstand the high hydrogen pressures necessary to produce properly passivated interfaces without undergoing chemical changes.

20150110151 | Method and Apparatus for Measuring Rail Surface Temperature - A method and apparatus suitable for measuring temperature of a surface of a segment of a rail using a sensor underneath a moving or a stationary rail car. The measurement is based on intensities of infrared radiation emitted by the surface. The method uses relationships among emissivity, radiation intensity and surface temperature without assuming an emissivity value for the surface. The apparatus comprises radiation detectors containing sensing elements, a lens systems, and analog to digital conversion board to convert radiation intensities to temperature. | 04-23-2015 |
