Abstract: Sidechain functionalized organosiloxane compounds are provided having a first end and a second end; a polysiloxane backbone; and a first plurality of sidechains covalently attached to the polysiloxane backbone and a second plurality of sidechains covalently attached to the polysiloxane backbone; wherein the first plurality of sidechains comprise polyalkylene glycol sidechains; wherein the first plurality of sidechains and the second plurality of sidechains comprise a tethered end covalently attached to the polysiloxane backbone and a free end opposite to the tethered end; and wherein the free end in one or both of the first plurality of sidechains and the second plurality of sidechains comprises a reactive end group. Compositions comprising the sidechain functionalized organosiloxane compounds are also provided, as well as coated articles. Sidechain functionalized lubricants are also provided that can be used with compositions and coated articles herein.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing roadside service through a synchronized interactive voice response (IVR) system and graphical user interface (GUI). One method may include: receiving, based on an incoming phone call from a vehicle user device, a request for roadside service for a disabled vehicle of a vehicle user; sending a text to a phone number of the vehicle user device, wherein the text includes a link to a mobile application for roadside service requests; receiving, from the vehicle user device and via the mobile application, information associated with the request for roadside service; determining, based on a location sensor of the vehicle user device, a location of the disabled vehicle; matching a roadside service provider with the disabled vehicle based on the request for roadside service; and enabling the vehicle user to track the service status of the roadside service provider through the mobile application.

Abstract: A gas discharge lamp power supply having a base, a pair of opposed side walls extending from the base, and opposed first and second end walls extending from the base between the opposed side walls. The first end wall has a sloped wall extending angularly between the side walls, and two input terminals are mounted on the sloped wall. In another embodiment, the power supply has a control with a nonvolatile memory for storing an error code in response to a detected fault condition, thereby permitting the error code to be displayed upon power being removed from and then, subsequently reapplied.
