Abstract: An apparatus for charging a vehicle includes a housing mounted on an upstanding post affixed to the ground and an electrical outlet having a charging system with a connecting lead and a charging head for connection to the vehicle. The connecting lead is mounted and contained within a hollow interior of the post and includes including a lead supply device or reel at the base of the post for supplying a length of the connecting lead for movement of the charging head from a storage position at the post to charging position at the vehicle. The storage position is located at an opening adjacent a front face of the housing and can be pulled manually or can be carried on an arm which can move the charging head to the charging position on the vehicle. The reel can be mounted within a container under the base of the post.

Abstract: A solid catalyst component for the polymerization of olefins, made from or containing Ti, Mg and an internal donor selected from 1,3-diethers, wherein the solid catalyst component, has (i) an average particle size D50 ranging from 55 to 80 ?m and (ii) a surface area (SA), determined with the BET method, such that the value of the formula SA×D50/100 is higher than 60.

Abstract: A biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film made from or containing a copolymer of propylene and ethylene having: i) the content of ethylene derived units ranging from 0.5 wt % to 2.2 wt %; ii) a xylene soluble fraction at 25°° C. ranging from 4.3 wt % to 6.5 wt %; and iii) a melt flow rate, MFR, measured according to ISO 1133-1:2012 at 230° C. with a load of 2.16 kg, ranging from 0.5 g/10 min to 7.0 g/10 min.

Abstract: Apparatus provides a lifesaving, cocoon and includes a seat arranged to be mounted in a passenger transportation and a pod unit with rounded, semi-rigid walls surrounding and securely enclosing a human body on the seat. The pod unit has an outer skin of a flexible material supported on a generally helical wire interior frame which is coiled into a generally oval exterior shape with upper and lower ends which are narrower than a central area. The outer skin of the pod unit can be made of spider silk or any flexible lightweight material. The helical wire frame upon which the skin is stretched over is made of a strong and flexible material which allows the frame to flex to different locations with the skin carried thereby and remaining stretched thereon. The pod can include transport specific additions such as a parachute and/or flotation and may be separable from the vehicle in the event of a collision.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for controlling parking in a parking stall including a camera to take images of a vehicle entering the parking stall, a proximity or ultrasonic sensor arranged to detect entry of the vehicle into the parking stall and a device for broadcasting an audible message to the driver. The device communicates with a web site associated with a plurality of stalls each having an associated control apparatus where the web site contains and provides data to a customer relating to any one or more of the associated stalls where authorized use can be purchased.

Abstract: A multi-purpose silicon fashion band has two removable clip portions one on each end of the band and central graphics located centrally between the two ends so that the user can cut the band on both ends to a desired size and re-attach the clip portions with the graphics remaining central. The clips are a friction fir to allow the connection to be broken if a pulling force is exceeded to avoid danger to the wearer. The graphics include letters punched through the rubber of the band for a astron visibility.
