11 Jun 2014TL;DR: In this paper, a vehicle system for estimating a trailer length is disclosed and includes a first sensor for measuring a wheel steer angle and a second sensor measuring a hitch angle, and a processor is in communication with the first and second sensors.
Abstract: A vehicle system for estimating a trailer length is disclosed and includes a first sensor for measuring a wheel steer angle and a second sensor for measuring a hitch angle. A processor is in communication with the first and second sensors and is operable to determine a wheel steer angle change and a hitch angle change. The processor performs a first computation if the wheel steer angle change and the hitch angle change satisfy a threshold requirement and performs a second computation if at least one of the wheel steer angle change and the hitch angle change does not satisfy the threshold requirement.

TL;DR: Results suggest that Cyto-D, through effects on cytoskeleton, induced cardiac Na+ channels to enter a mode characterized by a lower peak open probability but a greater persistent activity as if the inactivation rate was slowed.
Abstract: To investigate the role of the cytoskeleton in cardiac Na+ channel gating, the action of cytochalasin D (Cyto-D), an agent that interferes with actin polymerization, was studied by whole cell voltage clamp and cell-attached and inside-out patches from rat and rabbit ventricular cardiac myocytes. Cyto-D (20-40 microM) reduced whole cell peak Na+ current by 20% within 12 min and slowed current decay without affecting steady-state voltage-dependent availability or recovery from inactivation. Brief treatments ( 50% within 20 min, and long bursts of openings occurred. Washout of Cyto-D did not restore ensemble-averaged current amplitude, but burst duration decreased toward control values. Cyto-D also induced an additional slower component to open and closed times. These results suggest that Cyto-D, through effects on cytoskeleton, induced cardiac Na+ channels to enter a mode characterized by a lower peak open probability but a greater persistent activity as if the inactivation rate was slowed. The cytoskeleton, in addition to localizing integral membrane proteins, apparently also plays a role in regulating specific detailed functions of integral membrane proteins such as the gating of Na+ channels.

TL;DR: In this paper, instructions are provided to at least one vehicle control for autonomous operation of a vehicle and a determination is made whether to modify operation of the vehicle at least in part according to the change in position of the at least vehicle control.
Abstract: Instructions are provided to at least one vehicle control for autonomous operation of a vehicle. A change in position is detected of at the least one vehicle control. A determination is made whether to modify operation of the vehicle at least in part according to the change in position of the at least one vehicle control. The autonomous operation of the vehicle is modified according to the change in position.

03 Sep 1997TL;DR: In this paper, a method for vehicle yaw rate estimation using two accelerometers and a steer angle sensor is presented, which combines two complimentary approaches to yaw-rate estimation using accelerometers.
Abstract: A method is provided for a vehicle yaw rate estimation using two accelerometers and a steer angle sensor. The new method combines two complimentary approaches to yaw rate estimation using accelerometers. A kinematic yaw rate estimate is weighted with a vehicle lateral acceleration at the center of gravity, and steering angle and vehicle forward speed are incorporated into a Kalman filter for estimating vehicle yaw rate based upon the kinematic yaw rate estimate, the lateral acceleration at the center of gravity, the vehicle steering angle, and the vehicle forward speed. The method incorporates use of either one or two accelerometers.

TL;DR: Patients should be encouraged to discuss their injection- related concerns, and providers should regularly ask about injection-related problems, and patients should offer patients information about tools to reduce injections- related worries.
Abstract: ObjectiveTo compare patients’ perceptions of injection-related problems with clinicians’ estimates of those problems. Methods Data were obtained through 2 Internet surveys, one of US adults self-identified as taking insulin to treat diabe- tes and the second of health care professionals who treat people with diabetes who inject insulin, including pri- mary care physicians, endocrinologists, and diabetes educators.ResultsA substantial majority of patients would like to reduce the number of injections they take each day; almost half said that they would be more likely to take their insulin injections regularly if a product were available to ease the pain. A much smaller proportion of patients reported that (1) injections were a serious burden, (2) they were dissatisfied with the way they took insulin, (3) injections had a substantial negative impact on qual- ity of life, (4) they skipped injections they should take, or (5) injection-related problems affected the number of injections they were willing to tak...
