Abstract: A system and method for converting electronic currencies may be implemented in a trade engine module on a mobile device. A merchant external wallet address is received from a merchant for assets of the merchant that have a respective value in an associated currency. The merchant can define allocation of payments to the merchant among the assets. Orders received from the merchant represent a transaction value in a fiat currency. The transaction value is divided into a plurality of allocations based on the allocation specified by the merchant. A conversion rate between the fiat currency and the currency of the asset associated with the allocation for each of the allocations is determined. Each of the allocations are converted from the fiat currency to the currency of the asset associated with the allocation based on the conversion rate.

Abstract: A vehicle control system determines an upper non-zero limit on deceleration of a vehicle to prevent rollback of the vehicle down a grade being traveled up on by the vehicle. The upper non-zero limit on deceleration is determined by the controller based on a payload carried by the vehicle, a speed of the vehicle, and a grade of a route being traveled upon by the vehicle. The controller is configured to monitor the deceleration of the vehicle, and to automatically prevent the deceleration of the vehicle from exceeding the upper non-zero limit by controlling one or more of a brake or a motor of the vehicle. The controller also is configured to one or more of actuate the brake or supply current to the motor of the vehicle to prevent rollback of the vehicle while the vehicle is moving up the grade at a non-zero speed.

Abstract: A household appliance includes a connector for electrical contacting. The connector includes a body configured to mechanically retain at least one electrically conductive contact, which is accessible on an exit side of the body for contacting. The body is constructed from at least two different components, with one of the at least two components at least substantially forming the exit side and being made from a fire-retardant plastic.

Abstract: A sliding bearing element has a steel supporting layer onto which a 2-layer composite is applied which consists of an aluminum-based substrate having a layer thickness hs of 0.2 to 0.4 mm and an aluminum-based sliding layer having a layer thickness hG of 0.005 to 0.1 mm. The substrate and the sliding layer are joined by roll bonding. A sliding bearing is made from two sliding bearing elements of this kind, which are predominately used for applications in high-performance engines, principally for connecting-rod bearings, crankshaft main bearings and connecting rod bushes, but also in applications in mounting camshafts and counterbalance shafts as well as transmissions.

Abstract: A system and method for more consistent joule heating of a material blank to a desired temperature. An electrical terminal delivers a current to an end portion of the blank. The terminal has a heat sink effect which would otherwise prevent the end portion from reaching the desired temperature. An active thermal buffer element is interposed between the terminal and the end portion. The buffer element includes a first surface which abuts the end portion and a second surface which abuts the terminal. The buffer element is joule heated with the blank, and a temperature gradient is created across the buffer element such that the first surface is at the desired temperature and the second surface is at a lower temperature due to the heat sink effect of the terminal. The buffer element thereby compensates for the heat sink effect and allows the end portion to reach the desired temperature.
