The cable interface has a first junction and a second junction which are configured to connect the power distribution component with a power source and a load respectively.

Abstract: An integrated, unitary battery pack may be formed and used as part of the structural support for a vehicle frame. The unitary battery pack includes arrays cells having all positive and negative electrical terminals aligned in-plane on a common face of the product assembly. The unitary battery pack includes cooling components for passively or actively cooling the cell arrays. The unitary battery pack is encased in a potting material that allows that forms part of the structure support for the unitary battery pack. The unitary batter pack may be integrated into the vehicle with or without additional support structures.

Abstract: A personal care composition comprising a multi-active system for down regulating cytokines comprising: bis-abolol and ginger extract, and a surfactant derived from a triglyceride such as olive oil, and methods of use.

Abstract: Methods and systems for allocating computer-network resources among a group of network users calculate, for each network user, a worth of that network user based at least on a usage fee paid by that network user and a cost of that network user based at least on a network bandwidth consumed by that network user. For each network user, a worth-to-cost ratio based on the worth and cost of that network user may be computed. A group of high-value network users and a group of low-value network users may be identified such that each high-value network user has a higher worth-to-cost ratio than that of each low-value network user. Preferential access to a network resource is provided to the group of high-value network users relative to an access provided to the group of low-value network users.

Abstract: A swim platform for mounting onto the stern of a boat. Generally, the swim platform includes an upper platform, a lower platform, and a central support member for interconnecting the platforms and for mounting the swim platform to the boat. The platforms are sized and configured such that one or more persons could comfortably stand or sit on them. A forward portion of the lower platform is disposed proximate a rearward portion of the upper platform. Also, the lower platform is spaced vertically below the top platform and is ideally positioned at or slightly above the surface of the water. In operation, as the boat accelerates, the lower platform tilts towards the water as the bow tilts upwards. As the lower platform contacts the water, an upward force is exerted onto the lower platform, which forces the bow downwards and simultaneously forces the stern up and out of the water.

Abstract: A personal care composition comprising a multi-active system for down regulating cytokines comprising at least three actives, an extract of camellia sinesis, panthenol, and a glycyrrhizinate salt.

Abstract: A method for enabling security on a mobile terminal having a communication link with a circuit switched network against suspicious activities is provided. Activities performed at the mobile terminal are performed according to a security policy provided from the circuit switched network. Detection of a suspicious activity is alerted to the circuit switched network when the suspicious activity is detected. A policy manager server of the circuit switched network changes the security policy to cure the suspicious activity on the mobile terminal. Call traffic delivered to/sent from the mobile terminal is filtered out, which causes the suspicious activity according to the security policy. The mobile terminal enforces a security measure on a suspicious activity according to the security policy.

Abstract: A method and system for compensating for offsets when measuring parameters of a phase-locked loop (PLL). In one embodiment, a proportional path in the PLL is temporarily shut off, a measurement is made of a real time-to-zero crossing in the PLL to measure a defined parameter of the PLL, the proportional path is switched on, and the defined loop parameter is adjusted based on this measurement. In one embodiment, the real time-to-zero crossing is measured after introducing a phase step into the PLL between a reference signal and an output signal of the PLL. In an embodiment, two phase steps, having opposite polarities, are successively introduced into the PLL, and the time-to-crossing measurements resulting from these two phase steps may be averaged, and this average is used to determine a loop parameter.
