Bristle bots are vibration-driven robots actuated by the motion of an internal oscillating mass. Vibrations are translated into directed locomotion due to the alternating friction resistance between robots' bristles and the substrate during oscillati...
Mechanically nonlinear energy harvesters driven by broadband vibrations modeled as white noise are investigated. We derive an upper bound on output power versus load resistance and show that, subject to mild restrictions that we make precise, the upp...
The user-level brokers in grids consider individual application QoS requirements and minimize their cost without considering demands from other users. This results in contention for resources and sub-optimal schedules. Meta-scheduling in grids aims...
We propose AutoLegend to generate interactive visualization legends using online learning with user feedback. AutoLegend accurately extracts symbols and channels from visualizations and then generates quality legends. AutoLegend enables a two-way int...
Feb 15, 2024 · I'm Amazon prime delivery driver. Actually, Amazon is trying reduce prime orders (one or two days deliveries), so they can cut costs , that's all.
Hey guys, Just wanted to share a quick ownership update of my Fortuner Legender which I bought exactly a year ago. In 12 months, it’s already done 40,679 km ? (mostly driven by me). Couple of tho...

Many exoplanets have now been detected in orbits with ultra-short periods, very close to the Roche limit. Building upon our previous work, we study the possibility that mass loss through Roche lobe overflow (RLO) may affect the evolution of these pla...
This took place in Texas in 2021. Black ice is one of winter's silent killers. At night, the road can look totally dry while a thin, invisible layer of ice waits to trap any driver who's going too fa...
Went with some friends to drive the Texas Traverse Leg 2 route! First time truly off-roading with the 50 and it did great! ...
I don't have any money to spend on a new vehicle, but I have a 2014 Dodge charger in pretty good condition. I want a vehicle that I can daily drive and take out into the desert for fun. Hoping I can t...
Roadworthy Driving Acadademy Professional, flexible, convenient driver ed for busy teens and adults. Located on FM 78 close to Converse, UC, Cibolo & Schertz.
Humans drive in a holistic fashion which entails, in particular, understanding dynamic road events and their evolution. Injecting these capabilities in autonomous vehicles can thus take situational awareness and decision making closer to human-level...
terrain. Off-roading ranges from casual drives with regular vehicles to competitive events with customized vehicles and skilled drivers. Off-road vehicles
Software product innovation in large organizations is fundamentally chal-lenging because of restrained freedom and flexibility to conduct experi-ments. As a response, large agile companies form internal startups to initiate employ-driven innovation,...
according to Sotheby's. The car had previously been driven by Carroll Shelby and Stirling Moss. Other notable cars include a 1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT
We present a general scheme to determine the loss-free adiabatic eigensolutions (dark-state polaritons) of the interaction of multiple probe laser beams with a coherently driven atomic ensemble under conditions of electromagnetically induced transp...
Ride-sharing is a service that enables drivers to share their trips with other riders, contributing to appealing benefits of shared travel costs. However, the majority of existing platforms rely on a central third party, which make them subject to a...
Efficient timing in ride-matching is crucial for improving the performance of ride-hailing and ride-pooling services, as it determines the number of drivers and passengers considered in each matching process. Traditional batched matching methods ofte...
