Abstract: Exemplary traction battery pack designs are described for use in electrified vehicles. An exemplary traction battery pack may include one or more thermal barrier structures. In some implementations, each thermal barrier structure may include both a heat exchanger portion for stabilizing a temperature of battery cells of the traction battery pack and a vacuum portion for isolating the battery cells and/or the heat exchanger portion from ambient conditions. In other implementations, the thermal barrier structure may include only the vacuum portion. The thermal barrier structure may be arranged to interface with a battery array of the traction battery pack and could be integrated as part of an enclosure assembly of the traction battery pack.

The tubing component includes a material including a material density, and a determined thickness sufficient to shield a delivery line connector of a particulate delivery device from at least 90% of a radiation dose. The delivery line connector is configured to receive the mixed particulate solution from the particulate delivery device of the particulate material delivery assembly, and the determined thickness of the tubing component is calculated based on the material density to achieve shielding of the delivery line connector by the material of at least 90% of the radiation dose. The tubing component includes an integral wall of the delivery line connector, an outer sleeve configured to be removably disposed about the delivery line connector, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Methods and systems for imaging a target. In some examples, a system includes an optical modulator configured for applying, at each time of an exposure window, a respective optical modulation pattern to a received image of the target to output a modulated image. The system includes a camera configured for capturing a single image frame for the exposure window by receiving, at each of time, the modulated image of the target. The system includes a demodulator implemented on a computer system and configured for demodulating the single image frame based on the optical modulation patterns to recover a number of recovered image frames each depicting the target at a respective recovered time within the exposure window.

Abstract: Systems and methods for removing carbonaceous clinker material from a coke oven are described. A coke oven can be provided including an oven floor, coke, and clinker material deposited on the oven floor. After a temperature of the coke oven has reached a first temperature (e.g., after heating coal in the oven to produce coke), the method includes increasing the temperature of the coke oven to a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature for a predetermined amount of time. After the predetermined amount of time, the temperature is reduced to a third temperature that is lower than the first temperature.

Abstract: Data is transmitted from a first wireless station comprising first and second transmitters to a second wireless station comprising first and second receivers. In the absence of radio link failure detection, first data is transmitted via a first radio link from the first transmitter to the first receiver using a first subset of first radio resource blocks and transmitting second data via a second radio link from the second transmitter to the second receiver using second subset of the first radio resource blocks. The first and second radio links are monitored for a failure. If first radio link failure is detected, the second radio link is operated using a combination of the first and second subsets of the first radio resource blocks. If second radio link failure is detected, the first radio link is operated using a combination of the first and second subsets of the first radio resource blocks.

Abstract: A furnace system includes at least one wall that defines a workspace. The workspace includes an aircraft part to be cleaned. One or more vacuum pumps are configured to achieve a predetermined vacuum level in the workspace. A gas purifier is configured to remove impurities in a gas to create a purified gas, the purified gas being directed from the gas purifier into the workspace, the purified gas being of a purity and composition that is effective to disassociate oxides on a surface or in a crack of the aircraft part to be cleaned when the workspace is heated to a predetermined temperature and the predetermined vacuum level is achieved in the workspace.

Abstract: An adaptive interrogation method is provided, the method including determining application of an adaptive whisper shout interrogation sequence. The determination may be predictive and based on an anticipation of garbled replies or may be reactive and based on a plurality of replies to an initial ATCRBS interrogation, there being interference between the replies such that the replies are unable to be properly decoded. The adaptive whisper shout interrogation sequence includes adapting a subsequent ATCRBS interrogation. The adaptation may be a change in an amplitude difference between an interrogation pulse and a suppression pulse of the subsequent ATCRBS interrogation (i.e. a bin width), as compared to the initial ATCRBS interrogation; or the adaptation may be a change in a power of the subsequent ATCRBS interrogation as compared to the initial ATCRBS interrogation. The subsequent ATCRBS interrogation is then transmitted, and one or more replies are received.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from enhanced reception methods. For example, various transponders and surveillance systems may benefit from reception methods that can distinguish between overlapping pulses from multiple sources. A method can include receiving, at an antenna, a first series of pulses from a first source. The method can also include receiving, at the antenna, a second series of pulses from a second source. The first series and the second series can at least partially overlap each other. The method can further include de-interleaving the first series from the second series using at least one non-time-domain technique.
