Aspects of the present invention relate to a brake (100) for providing deceleration, comprising: a brake surface (110) and a brake lining (120), wherein in a decelerating state (I), the brake lining (120) and the brake surface (110) are in contact, and in a free-running state (II), the brake lining (120) and the brake surface (110) are spaced apart, an electric motor (140) that is connected to an actuator push rod (130) and configured to provide the energy to move the actuator push rod (130) from the free-running state (II) to the decelerating state (I), wherein the electric motor (140) is further configured to operate as a generator and provide energy to an energy storage (150) when the actuator push rod (130) is moved from the decelerating state (I) to the free-running state (II). Further aspects relate to method (200), computer program product and computer-readable storage medium.

A modular electrical connector assembly comprising a connector body having at least one compartment configured to receive and retain a connector sub-module, wherein the connector body comprises at least one latch moveable between an open position and a closed position; and a cover configured to be engaged with the connector body in an assembled position, so as to at least partially cover the at least one compartment. The connector body and the cover are configured such that that cover can be located in the assembled position when the at least one latch is in the closed position, and such that the cover cannot be located in the assembled position when the at least one latch is in the open position.

A boom lift machine (10) is provided which includes: a body (12); a boom (14) defining a longitudinal axis (A-A);a mounting arrangement (50) mounting the boom to the body; and a lifting unit (54) extending between the boom and the mounting arrangement. The boom is pivotably connected to the mounting arrangement at or proximate a first end (16) of the boom. The mounting arrangement is configured such that in response to actuation of the lifting unit, the boom is pivoted to raise or lower a second end (20) thereof, and the boom is translated relative to the body. The boom lift machine also includes a counterweight mass configured to counterbalance a tipping moment of the boom lift machine. The counterweight mass is configured to translate with the boom.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for terminating malware execution on an endpoint computing device include generating a shadow process data structure on an endpoint computing device; creating a malware detection record based upon a received malware verdict; detecting one or more software processes in the shadow process data structure associated with a malware process identified in the malware verdict; for each detected software process being executed: initiating a process termination request for the detected software process and updating the malware detection record based upon acceptance or rejection of the process termination request, and determining whether a malware termination operation on the endpoint computing device is complete based on the malware detection record.

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for high dynamic range brightness control. An example embodiment operates by determining, by at least one computer processor, a darkness level of a video frame, determining a brightness adjustment level based on the darkness level of the video frame, and adjusting a brightness level of a later frame based on at least the brightness adjustment level. The brightness level for the later video is adjusted within two video frames from the video frame.

Television sound quality has a poor reputation, sometimes due to the designs getting thinner. Common issues include distortion, clipping, muddy dialogue, and lack of bass. Some issues are due to or made worse by errors in tuning. The errors may come from improper measurements, lack of understanding, and prioritization of incorrect metrics. To address this issue, a data driven and objective predictive model is implemented to offer a consistent and scalable way to determine perceived sound quality of a wide range of audio systems. The predictive model can be used to determine optimal tuning parameters that would yield the best perceived sound quality of the audio system.

A battery management system for managing both a high-voltage traction battery and a low-voltage electronics battery can include a network manager circuit. The network manager circuit can include a wireless transceiver, which can be configured to communicate wirelessly with a high-voltage battery monitor coupled to the high-voltage traction battery. The network manager circuit can also include a first wired interface, which can be configured to communicate with a low-voltage battery monitor coupled to the low-voltage electronics battery. The network manager circuit can also include a second wired interface, which can be configured to communicate with a battery management system host controller.

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product aspects, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for providing event-based prioritization and display of a plurality of video streams within a monitoring system. An example aspect operates by receiving continuous event stream which can include video streaming data from multiple video monitoring devices. The method includes identifying events in the streaming data and determining a prioritization for each of the detected events. The identification and prioritization of detected events may be further personalized based on user information. The method may then display the video streams within a visualization interface based on the detected events and prioritization.

A working machine comprising:an operator station; andan operator seat located at the operator station;the operator station comprising controls for moving the working machine via the ground engaging propulsion structure and working arm controls for controlling movement of the first working arm relative to the body;the operator seat being moveable between a first position and a second position;a display being positioned at the operator station and within the operator's field of vision when seated on the seat in the second positiona further display being positioned at the operator station and within the operator's field of vision when seated on the seat in the first position;the working machine being configured such that at least when the seat is positioned in the first position at least one of the following is displayed on the further display: a drive state of a transmission of the working machine, a steer mode of the working machine, a wheel drive state of a ground engaging propulsion structure (2WD/4WD), a steer position (wheel alignment state) of a ground engaging propulsion structure;the working machine being further configured such that at least when the seat is positioned in the second position at least one of the following is displayed on the display: a drive state of a transmission of the working machine, a steer mode of the working machine, a wheel drive state of a ground engaging propulsion structure (2WD/4WD), a steer position (wheel alignment state) of a ground engaging propulsion structure.

Disclosed are systems and techniques for activating and deactivating entities of a blockchain network. A request is received to register an entity of the blockchain network. In response to receiving the request, an ending state balance is determined for the entity, and a reference to the entity is added to an active entity data structure that maintains references to active entities of the blockchain network. After adding the reference to the active entity data structure, a determination is periodically performed of whether any active entities have insufficient state balance for continuing participation in the blockchain network, by comparing a global accumulator to respective ending state balances of entities referenced in the active entity data structure. In response to determining that a given entity has insufficient state balance, a reference to the given entity is removed from the active entity data structure.
