Abstract: A door assembly for selectively interlocking opposing doors each pivotably mounted at a hinge side thereof to a door frame so as to both open and close in the same direction includes a door handle assembly mounted to one door at a latch side thereof opposite the hinge side and carrying a first plurality of magnets, and another door handle assembly mounted to the other door at a latch side thereof opposite the hinge side and carrying a second plurality of magnets. The door handle assemblies are arranged relative to each other with the first and second pluralities of magnets aligned such each aligned pair of the first and second pluralities of magnets have opposite magnetic polarities, and the aligned first and second pluralities of magnets magnetically couple to each other as the door handle assemblies are brought into contact with each other.

Abstract: A stator vane includes a platform that defines an opening. The stator vane further includes an airfoil that has a leading edge, a trailing edge, a suction side wall, and a pressure side wall. The airfoil extends radially between a base and a tip. At least one of the base or the tip includes a protrusion. The protrusion extends into the opening of the platform such that the platform surrounds the protrusion of the airfoil. The stator vane further includes a braze joint disposed between and fixedly coupling the platform and the protrusion of the airfoil. The stator vane further includes a cooling circuit defined in at least one of the protrusion or the platform to cool the braze joint.

Abstract: An apparatus for video decoding includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry can be configured to receive data of a current block coded with an intra block copy (IBC) mode in a bitstream. A block vector of the current block can be determined based on a history-based block vector prediction (HBVP) table that includes one or more entries each corresponding to a previously decoded block. Each entry can include a block vector of the corresponding previously decoded block and a location of the corresponding previously decoded block. The current block can be reconstructed based on the determined block vector of the current block.

The composition includes a urethane phase including a polyurethane polymer with at least polyester diol monomer units, polycarbonate diol monomer units, and ketone-functionalized diol monomer units. The composition may include an optional acrylic phase including an acrylic polymer having monomer units selected from one of alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer units, vinyl acetate monomer units, styrene monomer units, ketone-functional vinyl monomer units, or combinations thereof. The composition includes a hydrazine-functionalized crosslinking agent configured to crosslink one of the ketone-functionalized diol monomer units, the ketone-functional vinyl monomer units, or both. The composition further includes one or more tertiary amine reaction moderators or neutralizing agents.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for wireless communications involving transmission points. A transmission point may configure a downlink channel (e.g., a physical downlink control channel) based on the configuration of a downlink channel associated with another transmission point. One or more transmission points may manage overlap or offset between downlink channels.

Abstract: There is provided a laminate having excellent partial discharge resistance. A laminate of a conductor and an insulating coating comprising a conductor and an insulating coating formed on the conductor, wherein the insulating coating is formed of a resin composition containing a metal oxide hydrate, and an inorganic insulating layer is formed on the insulating coating when the laminate is exposed to partial discharge caused by inverter surges.

Abstract: A communications system comprises a maximum ratio combining (MRC) circuit for receiving a plurality of input data streams and for processing the plurality of input data streams using maximum ration combining to improve signal to noise ratio. A MIMO transmitter transmits the MRC processed carrier signal over a plurality of separate communications links from the MIMO transmitter, each of the plurality of separate communications links from one transmitting antenna of a plurality of transmitting antennas to each of a plurality of receiving antennas at a MIMO receiver.

Abstract: A method for forming a textile strap and the resulting textile strap includes forming a textile matrix by stacking in alternating order at least one first material layer on at least one second material layer. The at least one first material layer is bonded to the at least one second material layer in a manner to fix the at least one first material layer to the at least one second material layer. A plurality of apertures are cut into the formed textile matrix. The apertures are cut in from an edge of the textile matrix inward such that the resulting textile matrix with defined apertures is predictably flexible in each of two directions. The resulting textile matrix with defined apertures is sheathed in a formed stretch outer layer configured to substantially enclose the resulting textile matrix with defined apertures. The stretch outer layer is bonded to the textile matrix.

Abstract: A method for producing hydrogen product having a low carbon intensity is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) converting a hydrocarbon feedstock to a hydrogen product using a hydrocarbon reforming process; (b) providing at least some of the required energy for the hydrogen production process from a biomass power plant; and (c) processing one or more flue gas streams from the biomass power plant in a carbon capture unit to reduce CO2e emissions. The hydrogen product has a carbon intensity preferably less than about 1.0 kg CO2e/kg H2, more preferably less than 0.45 kg CO2e/kg H2, and most preferably less than 0.0 kg CO2e/kg H2.
