Abstract: A vehicle suspension component, such as a lower control arm, that includes first and second stamped metal shells, a stiffening feature, and several connection nodes for operably connecting the suspension component to the rest of the vehicle suspension system. The first and second stamped metal shells may be stamped from next generation steel that is lightweight and strong, and are joined together in a clam shell or box-style type design so that the connections nodes are sandwiched therebetween. The stiffening feature may include a depression, a depression perimeter that at least partially surrounds the depression, a depression sidewall, a depression floor, and a depression weld, wherein the depression weld joins the shell interior surfaces of the first and second stamped metal shells together.

Abstract: A system for transporting fast frame rate video data from a high frame rate image sensor mosaics and spreads the fast frame rate video data in 1920×1080p30 video frames for transporting via an existing standard video architecture. Packing information, spreading information, and unique ID/timestamps for each frame is encoded in metadata and inserted in ancillary metadata space of the 1080p30 video frames. A robust encoding scheme generates the metadata and ensures that the transported video can be reassembled into its original fast frame rate form after being spread over multiple channels.

Abstract: A hybrid weld joint for joining sheet metal pieces together. According to one example, the hybrid weld joint exhibits characteristics of both butt welds and lap joints and is used to create a tailor-welded blank assembly where at least one sheet metal piece is made of aluminum or an aluminum-based alloy. Such a tailor-welded blank assembly is particularly suitable for the automotive industry.

Abstract: A method of making cement clinker in a wet rotary kiln that includes providing raw material at the front of the kiln and adding a second group of materials for processing at an intermediate location along the kiln. This second group may include materials that improve the clinker and requires less energy to produce. A kiln system that employs this method and a cement clinker made by the method.
