Abstract: An automotive trim part is provided made of a laminated structure generally consisting of a thermoplastic core layer extruded from at least one feedstock derived from recycled material. The feedstock may consist at least partially of vehicle trim part waste from another vehicle, or trim part waste associated with an automotive trim part the same or similar to the part being produced. The core layer is preferably covered by fibrous layers and may be configured for use at least as a portion of a vehicle's wheel well.

Abstract: The invention of the present disclosure avails to those in the field of welding a dual power-dual arc welder generator that allows for the separation of an ICE-powered generator from a connected welding machine, which has not been achieved previously. Currently, welding machines of ICE-powered systems may not be decoupled from the generator for use with local primary electrical power is available, and the generator is cannot power a dual arc system. The invention includes a plurality of inverter power welding machines, such as two for a dual arc system, wherein each inverter power welding machine is powered by a single ICE-powered generator. This enables a user of the system to power two welding machines using a single ICE-powered generator, which in turn enables the use of less equipment for dual arc welding in areas where primary electrical power is not available.

Abstract: A method using hardware button(s) dispatches gestures for motion-disabled users. It displays a translucent layer, on top of underlying applications, which intercepts user touch events (preventing inadvertent gestures) and modifies (x?,y?) based on dampened differences of most recent intercepted event coordinates (swabs). The method operates in three modes identified by translucent colors and/or digits (how many button pushes before invocation): mode 1 dispatches short taps at (x?,y?); mode 2 displays extending arrow while the user swabs (x?,y?) until the second push, which dispatches scrolling in arrow direction; mode 3 creates an arrow and pivot. Pivot size and color indicate magnification/demagnification. The third push dispatches zooming when pivot and arrow are collinear; otherwise it dispatches rotation. A special case of mode 2 dispatches a long tap.

Abstract: The system and method of the present invention persuades a desired personal behavior. A processor is operative for developing a personal simulation based on user input indicative of hoped for personal behavior that a user desires to accomplish for themselves. A remote mobile computing device is operative for receiving and running a personal simulation developed by the processor and reinforcing to the user the hoped for personal behavior and persuading to the user behavior modification in conformance with a personal simulation program.
