Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for the characterization of a potential microtexture region (MTR) of a sample, component, or the like. The methods may include determining a threshold width of spatial correlation coefficient and/or a threshold spatial correlation coefficient slope for an actual MTR, characterizing a potential MTR as an actual MTR or a defect, characterizing an actual MTR as an acceptable MTR or not, and/or characterizing various components with potential MTRs as defective or not. The characterization may include calculating a width of spatial correlation coefficient and/or a spatial correlation coefficient slope of the potential MTR and comparing the width of spatial correlation coefficient to a threshold width of spatial correlation coefficient and/or comparing the spatial correlation coefficient slope to a threshold spatial correlation coefficient slope for the potential MTR to be characterized as an actual MTR or a defect (crack).

Abstract: The invention relates to a battery holder (1) comprising a floor (100) and a frame (200) delimiting a housing intended to receive all or part of a battery. The floor (100) comprises a plurality of profiles provided with male locking members (142) and female locking members (122). The floor (100) varies between: a separate configuration in which the profiles are separated; a snapped configuration in which the male locking members (142) and the female locking members (122) cooperate with each other to oppose a return to the separate configuration and are also movable relative to each other according to a predetermined degree of freedom; a locking configuration in which an interlocking and sealing agent (130) is interposed between the male locking members (142) the female locking members (122) and removes (irreversibly) said degree of freedom.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media to orchestrate process-performing resources and process protocols particularized to individual resources and loads are provided. Data changes in the data streams may be detected and identified. Data items from the data streams may be aggregated. Protocols that include parameter constraints according to specifications of process performance and/or operation performance may be identified. Operation-performing resources may be modeled with metrics being a function of protocols and consolidated data portions. A composite may be created that specifies a configuration a subsystem. The composite may be transmitted, and allocation of operation-performing resources to perform the defined process in accordance with the selected protocols may be controlled.

Abstract: The present invention relates to reducing static electricity in the general populations clothing, as well as but not limited to, static electricity shock between a person and metal. The present invention consists of a protective material or tubing (1a and 2a) shaped to protect a Resistor (1b and 2b). Metal attachments or Metal Screws (1c and 2c) are attached to said Protective Material and to said Resistor (1b and 2b). The static electricity flows from the screws, to the resistor, neutralizing the static shock to the person. The same neutralizing capability reduces static electricity in clothing. The static electricity flows from the clothing to the resistor, neutralizing the static charge.

Abstract: A translationally maneuverable trailer jack track system includes a frame having dual opposing inwardly facing elongated slotted sides. The frame is adapted to mount to a trailer frame between a ball coupler and a trailer. A carriage is mounted inside the frame with opposing side elements, each opposing side element bears on and is movably disposed within one of the dual opposing elongated slotted side elements, where the carriage has a centrally located jack collar and at least one threaded receiving element. A drive screw traverses the frame lengthwise and is threaded through the carriage threaded receiving element, where the drive screw is constrained on one end by a fastening device and has a drive cap on the other end.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method which, in one embodiment, enables a user to navigate the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). The method initially involves uploading a delimited HTS file, and using it to create a wizard which optionally allows the user to navigate a series of options menus, or alternatively, the entire menu hierarchy can be displayed on the same screen. The selections made at every menu is saved for future reference. The method also optionally enables the documentation of Export Control Classification Numbers, which are recorded along with applicable control information for the product.

Abstract: Corrugated tubing (2) having a smooth or semi-smooth bore, and methods for fabricating such tubing are provided. A length of corrugation tubing (2) can be formed with a filler (4) or liner material inside the tubing. The filler material (4) or liner material may yield one or more improved properties such as reducing head (pressure) loss, reducing friction, sound damping, fire resistance, and corrosion resistance. The corrugated tubing with a smooth or semi-smooth bore can be included in a piping system in which a fitting is connected to the tubing.

Abstract: Disclosed are a molded article picker for a post-mold device and a related method for the use of the molded article picker for handling a molded article. The molded article picker includes a structure having a surface defining an interior that is configured to surround an end portion of the molded article. A sealing surface disposed on the structure is configured to sealingly cooperate with a surface of an outwardly projecting portion of the molded article in response to an evacuation of the interior, wherein the seal allows for the molded article to be retained with the structure.
