Abstract: Systems and methods are described related to using flexible circuitry in a payment device. In one embodiment, a payment device comprises a computing device and a memory. The computing device is configured to store a biometric identifier associated with a transaction account. The computing device is configured to at least receive, by the antenna, an interrogation signal from a point of sale (POS) device in order to activate the payment device for a payment transaction. The computing device is configured to determine a scanned fingerprint identifier of a user based at least in part on the interrogation signal activating the payment device and authenticate the scanned fingerprint identifier by matching the scanned fingerprint identifier to the biometric identifier. The transaction account is transmitted to the POS device for processing the payment transaction based at least in part on the authentication of the scanned fingerprint identifier.

Abstract: An automated order fulfillment system and mobile robot are disclosed, where the mobile robot includes a compliant drive for moving between levels of a multilevel storage structure.

Abstract: A front bumper assembly including a vehicle camera relocation mount disposed within a front wall in a manner that leaves no visible sign of a mounting bracket configuration for the vehicle camera. Another front bumper assembly includes a central opening with a removable metal grill insert. The removable metal grill insert configured to connected with the front bumper in a manner that leaves no visible sign of its mounting configuration.

Abstract: A fender flare has a mounting plate portion, a fender portion, and a plurality of strut plates. The mounting plate portion is configured to be mounted to a wheel well of a vehicle body. The plurality of strut plates support the fender portion relative to the mounting plate portion. A step assembly and modular bumper assemblies are also disclosed.

Abstract: Aluminium-silicon powder mixtures comprising a hypereutectic Al—Si powder, a near eutectic Al—Si powder, and a third powder which is aluminium or a hypoeutectic aluminium alloy containing alloying constituents other than silicon and less than 9 wt % silicon, with a sintering aid comprising a fourth, zinc-containing powder, are pressed and sintered to provide powder metallurgy products suitable for automotive component use in particular. The third powder in the composition permits such Al—Si powder mixtures to be compressed to a density approaching that obtained by use of an annealed powder mixture, but without the annealing step.

Abstract: Provided is a signal transmission cable. The signal transmission cable includes: at least one pair of signal wires for transmitting a group of differential electronic signals, a first metal shielding film coated on a part of a surface of the at least one pair of signal wires; a second metal shielding film opposite to the first metal shielding film and coated on a part of a surface of the at least one pair of signal wires; and a first insulation film by which the first metal shielding film and the second metal shielding film are secured to the surface of the pair of signal wires. The first metal shielding film and the second metal shielding film are collectively coated on the entire surface of the at least one pair of signal wires, and the second metal shielding film partially overlaps the first metal shielding film.

Abstract: A filter core includes a tubular body that has a first end and a second end. The tubular body includes a plurality of surface features spaced longitudinally along the tubular body between the first and second ends. Each of the surface features includes a first portion for flow area and a second portion for bridging across an opening for strength.
