Abstract: A method comprises performing, by a first coherent radar system on a chip configured to operate in a terahertz range between 0.1 THz and 1 THZ, a first radar scan of a target, the first coherent radar system being in physical contact with a first non-physical scanning device. The first non-physical scanning device then receives first scanning data from the first radar scan, and sends a coordination signal to a second non-physical scanning device. A second coherent radar system on a chip configured to operate in the terahertz range performs a second radar scan of the target, the second coherent radar system being in physical contact with the second non-physical scanning device. The second non-physical device receives second scanning data from the second radar scan, and the first and second scanning data are sent to a processor for a determination as to whether an impermissible object has been detected.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of battery stacker machines, including z-fold stacker machines, configured to provide a rolling transfer of a battery layer so as to reduce scrubbing. In some embodiments, the layer is flexed onto an arcuate surface using a vacuum or other force. The arcuate surface is then rotated to release the layer at a desired transfer location. For instance, the desired transfer location may be on top of a stack or onto another arcuate gripper surface.

Abstract: A method includes, based on information received from a user through a graphical user interface, forming and storing elements that define a model that can be run by a computer to simulate operation of a real-world system that includes real-world features. The method includes including in the elements that are formed and stored, collections of software entities that correspond to the real-world features, and running the model using the software entities.

Abstract: Among other things, a calibrated and tested dynamic simulation model of at least one municipality or institution or commercial entity is operated to generate information that enables the municipality or institution or commercial entity and suppliers of products for development projects of the municipality or institution or commercial entity to engage in execution of development projects that the model demonstrates will enhance the performance and sustainability of the municipality or institution or commercial entity. The simulation model of the municipality or institution or commercial entity is used to monitor and influence the execution of the development projects or ongoing operations and policies of the municipality or institution or commercial entity.

Abstract: A system and method for evaluating one or more interventions having a direct or indirect impact on a disease identification or a disease progression incorporating a causal framework to establish relationships among the disease, complications, and comorbidities. The system and method determines population groups and risk factors for the disease, complications, and comorbidities. The system and method structures and calibrates a simulation model of the relationships, population groups, and risk factors and characterizes interventions. The system and method analyzes the characterized interventions to determine the direct or indirect impact of the interventions on the disease identification or progression using the simulation model. An indication of the impact of the interventions is provided on an electronic display or to a memory device.

Abstract: A lubricant supply rail is provided for an internal combustion engine to provide an adequate supply of lubricant from the engine lubrication circuit to the bearing surfaces of the rocker arms, the valves and the push rods. The lubricant supply rail of the present invention is configured to provide automatic fluid communication between the cylinder head lubricant outlet port and the lubrication channels contained within the rocker arm support assembly and includes a lubricant supply inlet which communicates directly with the cylinder head and a plurality of transfer bores spaced to communicate directly with each rocker arm support assembly. The lubricant supply rail is preferably formed of nylon or like material and includes a conduit portion sealed at each end by end caps having a configuration which permits effective sealing of the conduit by ultrasonic welding techniques.

Abstract: A valve cover for an internal combustion engine has a cover body of an inverted trough-like configuration and a perimetric flange surrounding its open bottom side. A seal receiving groove is formed in a bottom surface of the perimetric flange and extends more than one full circuit around the perimeter of the open side. An elongated elastomeric seal strip of a length that is greater than the circumference of the cover body, as measured within the seal receiving groove, is inserted into the seal receiving groove in a manner wherein opposite ends of the seal strip are overlapped side-by-side and wherein the bottom of the seal strip extends out of the seal receiving groove in a manner forming a sealing ridge around the bottom of the perimetric flange of the cover body.
