Abstract: Busbars are provided for electrically connecting battery cells within a traction battery pack. An exemplary busbar may include features for locating and positioning a tab terminal of a battery cell. For example, the busbar may include a slot and a bent portion. The tab terminal may be received within the slot such that at least a portion of the tab terminal is positioned on an opposite side of the busbar from a housing of the battery cell. The tab terminal may be secured (e.g., welded) to the bent portion at a section of the busbar that is exposed within the slot.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing the emission of hydrogen sulfide during the production of an asphalt composition.

Abstract: Provided herein are processes for forming sufentanil citrate from sufentanil base. One process comprises forming sufentanil citrate in the presence of a polar non-aqueous solvent. Other processes comprise forming sufentanil citrate in the presence of water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an asphalt composition comprising a thermosetting reactive compound.

Abstract: A robot system designed to provide non-invasive mitigation of ballistic safety risks. The robot system includes a robotic device and a safety retention suit, which covers or encloses the movable components or parts of the robotic device. The safety retention suit is formed of a fabric sheet of material chosen, in part, for its flexibility as well as durability to allow the part or the component of the robot enclosed within the suit to move freely. The safety retention suit includes one-to-many strands, threads, or cables of a material chosen to move with the flexible material of the suit when the enclosed component of the robotic device is moving during standard operations. When a mechanical failure occurs, the cables of the suit stretch but, as an overall unit, do not break so as to retain any portions of the covered or enclosed robotic part within the suit.

Abstract: Processes for preparing acetylated amphetamine derivatives and, in particular, processes for preparing L-lysine-D-amphetamine dimesylate from D-amphetamine salts.

Abstract: Provided herein are processes for forming sufentanil citrate from sufentanil base. One process comprises forming sufentanil citrate in the presence of a polar non-aqueous solvent. Other processes comprise forming sufentanil citrate in the presence of water.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to measuring multiple analytes in a medical system configured to draw in biological fluids. The system can include a fluid handling network configured to receive a fluid sample drawn from a patient and to deliver at least a portion of the fluid sample to an analyte measurement system. The measurement system can include a flow cell incorporated in line in a fluid system, shaped to allow a light source to directly abut the flow cell and cause radiation to pass through to a spectrometer on the other side.

Abstract: A data protection system for online data is described that can be used to obfuscate sensitive data to relieve security compliance requirements for one or more entities involved in processing, storing, and/or communicating the sensitive data to complete an online purchase transaction. The data protection system can receive online purchase data from a client application, and then remove the sensitive information of the online purchase data to sanitize the online purchase data. The data protection system can also maintain the sensitive information, and communicate the sanitized online purchase data to an eCommerce server that then communicates with a payment service provider for payment authorization of the online purchase, where the sanitized online purchase data relieves security compliance requirements at the eCommerce server.

Abstract: A transmission for a motor vehicle includes an input shaft, a transmission pump, a transmission sump and a pump-driving element, which is preferably a drive gear. The drive gear and the transmission pump are located in the transmission sump. Power is transmitted from the input shaft to the transmission pump through the drive gear. In a preferred embodiment, power is transmitted from the input shaft to the drive gear through at least one gear, and from the drive gear to the transmission pump through a pump shaft. The drive gear is preferably at least partially enclosed by a shroud, coupled to the transmission pump, in order to separate the drive gear from transmission fluid located in the transmission sump and thereby reduce drag on the drive gear. The shroud preferably also includes a discharge port so that transmission fluid located in the shroud is expelled through the discharge port when the drive gear rotates.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally related to an improved process for the preparation of various piperidine derivatives. More particularly, the present disclosure related to an improved process for preparing sufentanil base (1) and related compounds, which advantageously utilizes more cost effective and/or less hazardous reagents, including a dispersion comprising between about 50% and about 70% by weight (based on the total weight of the dispersion) of an alkali metal hydride, such as sodium hydride, as well as eliminates the need for expensive and/or time consuming purification techniques.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the reduction of an N-imine moiety or a hemiaminal moiety of a morphinan in the presence of a ruthenium, rhodium, or iridium asymmetric catalyst and a hydrogen source.
