Embodiments are disclosed for a vehicle control system and related sub-components that together provide an operator with a plurality of specific modes of operation, wherein various modes of operation incorporate different levels of autonomous control. Through a control user interface, an operator can move between certain modes of control even after vehicle deployment. Specialized autopilot system components and methods are employed to ensure smooth transitions between control modes. Empowered by the multi-modal control system, an operator can even manage multiple vehicles simultaneously.

Financial transaction data comprising payment on any one of multiple financial transaction types are processed with an adapter layer that receives an incoming data message relating to a financial transaction initiated by a payer and operates on the incoming data message to produce adapted data relating to the financial transaction, and a processor that receives the adapted data and determines transaction routing to direct the adapted data to a processing network module that requests authorization by an issuer, responds to authorization by initiating request for settlement and payment on the financial transaction to a transaction payee, and responds to payee query requests by providing non-payment data to an external payee.

An audio processing apparatus comprises a receiver (705) which receives audio data including audio components and render configuration data including audio transducer position data for a set of audio transducers (703). A renderer (707) generating audio transducer signals for the set of audio transducers from the audio data. The renderer (7010) is capable of rendering audio components in accordance with a plurality of rendering modes. A render controller (709) selects the rendering modes for the renderer (707) from the plurality of rendering modes based on the audio transducer position data. The renderer (707) can employ different rendering modes for different subsets of the set of audio transducers the render controller (709) can independently select rendering modes for each of the different subsets of the set of audio transducers (703). The render controller (709) can select the rendering mode for a first audio transducer of the set of audio transducers (703) in response to a position of the first audio transducer relative to a predetermined position for the audio transducer. The approach may provide improved adaptation, e.g. to scenarios where most speakers are at desired positions whereas a subset deviate from the desired position(s).

Disclosed is a solenoid type electromagnetic operating device which needs a relatively large current only for a limited short period at an excitation start initial stage and is adapted to achieve the speeding up at an excitation start stage and an improvement in responsiveness as well as power saving without increasing a power load on each of a drive circuit and power supply. The device is used for exerting a mechanical output on a valve element against a spring force, and comprises a solenoid coil composed of a plurality of split coils mutually electrically independent, an iron core structure including a fixed core, a movable core and a yoke and assembled with the solenoid coil so as to form a magnetic path loop through which magnetic fluxes from the split coils pass in common, an excitation controller for selectively switching / controlling the excitation current to each split coil, and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the mechanical output based on the displacement of the movable core magnetically attracted to the fixed core to the valve element when one or more of the split coils are excited.

A portable containment system includes a glovebox apparatus, a self-contained filter unit, and removable conduits extending therebetween. The glovebox apparatus includes a first module for releasably covering a first sidewall opening. The first module, which has body and flange portions, has a storage position where the body portion is positioned through the first sidewall opening into the glovebox interior and an operative position where the body portion is positioned exterior of the glovebox. The glovebox apparatus includes second modules for releasably covering a second sidewall opening where the second modules are smaller than the first sidewall opening for inserting the second modules into the interior of the glovebox for storage. The filter unit includes a plurality of gas filters, an air pump, and detectors for monitoring the air flow through the system.

A demultiplexer circuit selects one of data signals, which are sent via an output port of a data driver circuit, on a time division basis, and distributes the data signals to data lines. For high-resolution display, the demultiplexer sequentially distributes data signals to associated data lines. For low-resolution display, the demultiplexer distributes identical data signals to data lines or parts of the data lines. Gate driver circuits each sequentially drive scan lines for high-resolution display, and concurrently or temporarily concurrently drive the scan lines for low-resolution display.

Provided are an apparatus and method for generating channel information and apparatus and method for adaptive transmission employing the same. The channel information generation apparatus comprises an estimator for estimating current channel information of a multi-carrier received signal for each path, a short-period channel information generator for predicting channel information after a predetermined minimum transmission delay time based on the current channel information estimated by the estimator to generate short-period channel information, and a long-period channel information generator for deriving statistic information of error between the channel information predicted by the short-period channel information generator and actual channel information at the time of transmission to produce long-period channel information. The invention is applied to mobile communication systems using multi-carrier.

A method for the condition monitoring of a fleet of machines, plants, or processes includes the generation of a single generic network for the fleet using historic data from the members of the fleet and using novelty detection tools for analyzing and reducing the data. Scaling factors relevant to each individual fleet member are stored in a scaling file. The fleet members are monitored during operation by comparing test data to the network and calculating quantization errors. Signals on the condition of the fleet members are given based on the quantization errors. The network is adapted by adding new data representing changes in a plant such as due to degradations of components. Due to the individual scaling of data from the different fleet members, the method achieves a sensitivity of monitoring that is comparable to that of methods of the state of the art.

A method for performing a handover in a mesh network for a plurality of nodes (A, A′, B) of said mesh network from a first access point (AP1) to a second access point (AP2), whereas said plurality of nodes (A, A′, B) forms a tree of nodes, said tree comprising a root node (B) and one or more further nodes (A,A′) connected to said root node either directly or via intermediate nodes, and said handover being performed for said tree of nodes in a coordinated fashion, said method comprising:forwarding to said members of said tree (A, A′, B) information about said second access point (AP2) and timing information to enable a coordinated handover of said nodes of said tree;switching said root node (B) and said further (A,A′) nodes from said first access point to said second access point according to said timing information.
