Abstract: A hollow preform impact extruded from a metal billet to produce a progressing wall at a transition wall thickness. An axially forward portion of the progressing wall is ironed by extrusion past an extrusion point to form a sidewall portion of a lesser thickness. Extruding is stopped while some of the billet remains to form the closed bottom end. The preform has a bottom portion, a sidewall portion and a transition wall portion extending between the bottom portion and the sidewall portion. The transition wall portion is thicker than the sidewall portion and can be formed into at least part of the rim of an expansion shaped container. An impact extrusion punch has a central axis, an axially forward, impact surface for impacting metal to be extruded, a transition region for directing material displaced by the impact surface and a rear extrusion point for ironing material extruded past the transition region.

Abstract: An integrated insulator sealing and shielding assembly includes a rubber housing having a plurality of radial weathersheds and a tapered end adjacent an endmost radial weathershed. The tapered end has an outer surface with a ring extending outward from the outer surface. The ring is compressible. A metal end fitting is disposed adjacent to the endmost radial weathershed and receives the tapered end. The tapered end is received in a counterbore in the metal end fitting. The counterbore has a sealing surface so that interference of the ring with the sealing surface creates a compressive sealing force to form a seal.

Abstract: A refrigeration system, according to the present invention, has a standard refrigeration circuit, with a condenser connected to a low temperature evaporator and a medium temperature evaporator by a high-pressure liquid line, which are in turn connected to a compressor by a low-pressure vapour return line and a medium-pressure vapour return line, and the compressor is connected to the condenser by a high-pressure vapour line. A low-pressure booster is connected on the low-pressure vapour return line operating at a low compression ratio to boost the pressure of the low-pressure vapour return line to substantially the same pressure as the medium-pressure vapour return line.

Abstract: A deep neural network (DNN) media noise predictor configured for one-dimensional-magnetic (1DMR) recording or two-dimensional-magnetic (TDMR) is introduced. Such architectures are often combined with a trellis-based intersymbol interference (ISI) detection component in a turbo architecture to avoid the state explosion problem by separating the inter-symbol interference (ISI) detection and media noise estimation into two separate detectors and uses the turbo-principle to exchange information between them so as to address the modeling problem by way of training a DNN-based media noise estimators. Thus, beneficial aspects include a reduced bit-error rate (BER), an increased areal density, and a reduction in computational complexity and computational time.

Abstract: Compositions containing a nucleic acid nanostructure having a desired geometric shape and antigens bound to its surface are provided. The nanostructures can be, for example, in the form of a 6-helix bundle or icosahedron. The nanostructure design allows for control of the relative position and/or stoichiometry of the antigen bound to its surface. The antigens displayed on the nanostructure surface are arranged with the preferred number, spacing, and 3D organization to elicit a robust immune response. The displayed antigen can be an HIV immunogen such as eOD-GT6, eOD-GT8, or variants thereof. The compositions may thus be useful as immunogens, vaccines, immunostimulators, adjuvants, and the like. Methods of inducing immune responses, inducing protective immunity, inducing the production of neutralizing antibodies or inhibitory antibodies, inducing tolerance, and treating cancer, infectious or autoimmune diseases are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for eye tracking calibration in a wearable system are described. The wearable system can present three-dimensional (3D) virtual content and allow a user to interact with the 3D virtual content using eye gaze. During an eye tracking calibration, the wearable system can validate that a user is indeed looking at a calibration target while the eye tracking data is acquired. The validation may be performed based on data associated with the user's head pose and vestibulo-ocular reflex.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to off-line generation, storage, and usage of digital assets, such as cryptocurrency. In particular, methods and systems are disclosed for generating off-line cryptographic key pairs for the off-line storage of digital assets using storage techniques that do not involve connecting to the Internet.

Abstract: An engine oil lubrication system includes an oil flow control baffle disposed in the sump of the oil pan. The baffle may be detachably mountable in the sump of the oil pan. The baffle may be configured to prevent oil returning to the sump from the engine from short-circuiting and flowing directly to the oil pump intake. The baffle creates a circuitous flow path which forces mixing of the returning oil before being drawn into the oil pump intake nozzle via increasing resonance time of the oil in the sump to enhance cooling. The present disclosure further provides a modular engine mounting system which extends the number of engines and vehicle chassis which can utilize a single oil pan to mount to the chassis. Interchangeable mounting flanges are provided having different bolting patterns compatible with the different chassis.
