"In an aspect（一態様）, the invention features（に特徴を有する、提供することを特徴とする？）a method for mission planning. The method includes displaying a graphical representation of a geographical area（範囲、領域） and displaying a graphical representation of one or more regions（領域） within the geographical area. The method also includes accepting（受け取る）a specification（指定、仕様）of geographical regions from a user, accepting a specification of a set of one or more receivers from the user, and accepting a specification of resource access rights associated with the specific one of the geographical regions from the user. The method also includes remotely causing access to a vehicle's resources to be provided or denied to the specified set of one or more receivers based on their（代名詞；receivers） association with the specific one of the geographical regions specified（指定）by the user when the vehicle is within the specific one of the geographical regions specified by the user."

"Various types and levels of operator assistance are performed（実行） within a unified, configurable（構成、設定可能）framework. A model of the device with a model of the environment and the current state of the device and the environment are used to iteratively（反復、繰り返し）generate a sequence of optimal device control inputs that, when applied to a model of the device, generate an optimal device trajectory through a constraint-bounded（制約？）corridor or region within the state space. This optimal trajectory and the sequence of device control inputs that generates it（代名詞; trajectory）is used to generate a threat assessment metric（測定基準）. An appropriate type and level of operator assistance is generated based on（基づいて）this threat assessment. Operator assistance modes include warnings, decision support, operator feedback, vehicle stability control, and autonomous or semi-autonomous hazard avoidance. The responses generated by each assistance mode are mutually consistent because they（代名詞）are generated using（用いて、使用して）the same optimal trajectory." (US8744648)
"In exemplary（例示）implementations（実施態様、形態）of this invention, a foldable vehicle has a foldable chassis. The wheelbase (and thus the overall footprint（占有面積、設置面積) of the vehicle can be reduced when parking, and can be extended when driving（運転）on the open road. In exemplary implementations the ability to shorten and lengthen the wheelbase is achieved by using（使用することにより）two 4-bar linkages, activated by one or more linear actuators positioned in parallel. The dual 4-bar linkage and linear actuator(s) can provide: (i) the ability to maintain full maneuverability（操縦性） in the vehicle's folded and unfolded state; (ii) a fail-safe static system, and (iii) a rigid but transformable chassis."

"Described are（記載）a method and a system for localization（位置特定、位置決め）of a vehicle. The method includes the acquisition of SPR images of a subsurface（表面下、地下）region along a vehicle track（車両軌道）. Acquired SPR images are compared to（比較） SPR images previously acquired for a subsurface region that at least partially overlaps（重複、重なる）the subsurface region along the vehicle track. In some embodiments, the comparison includes an image correlation procedure. Location data for the vehicle are determined based in part on location data for the SPR images previously acquired for the second subsurface region. Location data can be used to guide the vehicle along a desired path（進路、経路）. The relatively static nature of features in the subsurface region provides the method with advantages over other sensor-based navigation systems that may be adversely affected（悪影響）by weather conditions, dynamic features and time-varying（時間的に変化）illumination. The method can be used in a variety of applications, including self-driving automobiles（自動運転車）and autonomous platforms." (US8949024)
"Herein are disclosed（開示）methods, and compositions produced using them（代名詞）, to assemble（組立、作製、構成）highly conducting, hydrolytically stable polymer electrolyte films from commercially-available, water-soluble polymers using layer-by-layer（層ごとの）assembly technology. In certain embodiments, these films can be used for electrochemical device applications which require an ion-conducting material to operate. For example, the power efficiency of any electrochemical device with a solid polymer electrolyte layer can be increased by this technology by virtue of（により）the low ionic resistance of these layer-by-layer assembled thin film electrolytes. Specifically, direct-methanol operated fuel cells (DMFCs) should benefit remarkably（大いに、多大、顕著）, as the described technology offers very high conductivity values at fully hydrated conditions with low fuel (methanol) crossover."

"Fuel management system（無冠詞） for efficient operation of a spark ignition gasoline engine（名詞句）. Injectors inject an anti-knock agent such as ethanol directly into a cylinder of the engine. A fuel management microprocessor system controls injection of the anti-knock agent so as to control knock（ノッキング）and minimize that amount of the anti-knock agent that is used in a drive cycle. It is preferred that（好適、好ましくは）the anti-knock agent is ethanol. The use of ethanol can be further minimized by injection in a non-uniform manner（不均一に）within a cylinder. The ethanol injection suppresses（抑制）knock so that higher compression ratio and/or engine downsizing（小型化） from increased turbocharging or supercharging can be used to increase the efficiency of the engine."
