Abstract: A communication server, interacting with an organization system having users that wish to communicate securely, provides secure communication capability to the users, without the communication server itself having access to unencrypted content of the user communications or to cryptographic keys that would allow the communication server to derive the unencrypted content. Thus, the communication server that provides the secure communication capability need not itself be trusted by the users with access to communicated content. To achieve this, the various entities communicate to exchange cryptographic keys in such a manner that the communication server never obtains usable copies of the cryptographic keys.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a bipolar battery comprising one or more troughs formed therein and cooperating with one or more channels, the troughs adapted to guide flow of electrolyte to provide for faster and more uniform flow of the electrolyte. The disclosure relates to a bipolar battery assembly comprising: a) a plurality of electrode plates stacked together to form an electrode plate stack; b) one or more electrochemical cells, wherein each electrochemical cell is formed between a pair of electrode plates; c) one or more separators disposed within the one or more electrochemical cells; and d) one or more troughs formed in each of the one or more electrochemical cells and adapted to guide flow of electrolyte into the one or more electrochemical cells. The present disclosure further relates to a method for preparing a battery assembly. The method may utilize circulating one or more fluids through the battery assembly during preparation. Circulating fluids may be part of thermal control cycling.

Abstract: A vehicle assembly includes, among other things, a cab back panel assembly pivotably coupled to a cab of a vehicle, and a sill assembly that includes a portion of a securing system. The sill assembly is pivotably coupled to the vehicle. The sill assembly is pivotable back and forth between a latching position where the cab back panel assembly can engage the portion of the sill assembly and a stowed position.

Abstract: Embodiments disclose a utility model which is related to an advance and improved disposable/flushable toilet seat cover that provides a hygienic, secure fit. It provides a secure fit from the top and bottom of toilet rim so that the upper and lower surfaces of the seat cover are sealed, to prevent the absorption of contamination into the external environment. It is also proposed to have another version of the product without a hole. It is “completely covered” so it could be used to flush the toilet. The toilet seat cover is made of a bio degradable material and is disposable in nature.

Abstract: A storage system for a vehicle is provided that includes a track assembly disposed on a vehicle floor that includes a first track disposed transverse to a second track, a plurality of containers positionable in an engaged position or a disengaged position relative to the track assembly and each including one or more square-shaped top portions.

Abstract: Hydroentangled composites having a wide variety of uses (e.g., personal hygiene articles, facers for fenestration absorbent patches on surgical drapes, facers on absorbent surgical drapes, etc.) are provided. The hydroentangled composite includes at least two nonwoven webs hydroentangled together. The hydroentangled composite may have a three-dimensional structure. Additionally, the at least two nonwoven webs may have different bonding levels and/or lint levels.

Abstract: A vehicle assembly includes, among other things, a cab back assembly having a first panel and a second panel. The first panel is pivotably coupled to a cab of a vehicle. The second panel is pivotably coupled to the first panel. A method of configuring a cab back includes selectively pivoting a first panel of a cab back assembly relative to a cab of a vehicle. The first panel is pivotably coupled to a cab of the vehicle and is configured to pivot relative to the cab about a first axis. The method further includes selectively pivoting a second panel of the cab back assembly relative to the first panel. The second panel is pivotably coupled to the first panel and is configured to pivot relative to the first panel about a second axis that is spaced from the first axis.

Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for controlling a vehicle camera system. The camera system includes a computer that controls the camera system and one or more cameras that are configured to capture video inside and/or outside a vehicle.

Abstract: Elastic nonwoven composites suitable for a wide variety of uses are provided. The composite includes at least one extensible nonwoven layer, including a first extensible nonwoven layer, and at least one elastic nonwoven layer, in which the nonwoven layer comprises elastic continuous filaments. The composite may be bonded and activated by, at least in part, a stretching operation. The elastic continuous filaments may comprise an additive, such as a slip additive.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a pair of devices that allows a user to attach a watersports hydrofoil to a watersports board. The devices feature a retention pin on one end and a locking mechanism on the other. The devices screw onto the mating surface of hydrofoil mounting plate parallel to each other and in the orientation where the locking mechanism is in the front. Once attached to the hydrofoil the devices allow for the hydrofoil to be mounted to the board in any location along the length of the two parallel tracks in the bottom surface of the board, permitted the devices fit, without the use of tools. The devices also allow for the hydrofoil to be dismounted from the board without the use of tools. The devices allow the hydrofoil to fold backwards, towards the tail of the board, if the hydrofoil hits an object with enough force, in order to minimize damage to the hydrofoil and the object being hit.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to generating an n-gram-based string similarity score where the n-grams sourcing from frequent words, given the context of interest, may be under-weighted and the n-grams sourcing from infrequent words, given the context of interest, may be over-weighted. An embodiment of the present invention is directed to defining a weight for each 2-gram depending on whether or not the word from which it sourced was frequent based on the relevant context.

Abstract: A redraw sleeve is provided. The redraw sleeve includes a body with a second end, wherein the second end includes a shaped contour. The shaped contour, as defined herein, substantially prevents wrinkles and/or tears, as well as other forming problems, when forming thin metal.

Abstract: A quick delivery air pump for faster pumping includes a pump body. The pump body is cylindrical and has a top side having a shaft aperture and a bottom side having a valve aperture. A plunger shaft is coupled within the shaft aperture. The plunger shaft has a handle end outside the pump body and a disc end within the pump body. A disc is coupled to the disc end of the plunger shaft and has an outer perimeter proximal the pump body. A seal ring is coupled around the outer perimeter and contacts the pump body. A hose fitting is coupled within the valve aperture. A valve is coupled within the hose fitting to restrict airflow to move only from the pump body through the hose fitting. An air hose is coupled to the hose fitting and is configured to attach to a tire valve.
