Abstract: A carrier for use in supporting a component in a vehicle structure in accordance with the present invention includes at least a pair of side rails each having a first end and an opposed second end. The first and second ends of the side rails are attached to the vehicle structure, and each side rail includes a predetermined bending location at a predetermined location between the first and second ends. The component is adapted to be attached to the side rails intermediate the predetermined bending location and the first end. The side rails are operable to bend about the predetermined bending location when an impact load is applied to the first end of the side rails.

Abstract: Network-based communication, language translation, and content searching utilize a “pivot” or intermediate language that is readily translated into any of numerous natural languages. Web users may specify a desired language, and that selection is automatically detected by Web servers, which provide content in accordance therewith. In a search context, documents are archived in the pivot language, which serves as an intermediate representation enforcing a precise mode of expressing concepts. Word-match searches based on queries that have also been formulated in the pivot language will retrieve relevant documents with a high degree of reliability, since the concept of interest has been more rigorously formulated. Information in the form of text or messages may be broadcast or sent to recipients, who receive the information in a desired language regardless of the source language of the original information.
