  • Publication number: 20240342640
    Abstract: An active field polarized filter includes a scrimless filter media that includes a mixture of polypropylene fibers with polymethaphenylene isophtalamide fibers. This mixture may be in the form of a nonwoven material having a weight ratio of polymethaphenylene isophtalamide fibers to polypropylene fibers ranging between 5:95 and 50:50, and even more preferably between 10:90 and 30:70.

  • Publication number: 20240233060
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include dynamically selecting transportation options to present to a transportation requestor device based on current transportation network conditions and transportation requestor device history. In some embodiments, transportation network may have many different ways of arranging a transportation requestor's trip, such as private rides, shared rides, immediate rides, and delayed rides. In some examples, the requestor's choice of transportation option may have an impact on the transportation network. In anticipation of or in response to a transportation request, the method may determine which transportation options will better benefit the transportation network and determine which transportation options to display to the requestor and/or the prominence with which the transportation products are displayed. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10094412
    Abstract: In a method for connecting a press-in bolt with a metal sheet, the metal sheet is positioned upon a cover element of a joining tool. The press-in bolt is forced by the joining tool in a pilot hole of the metal sheet as the metal sheet is supported by the cover element in its capacity as a die, until a head portion of the press-in bolt rests upon one side of the metal sheet and the cover element is pressed upon a shaft portion of the press-in bolt and radially deformed to rest upon another opposite side of the metal sheet.
