Abstract: An integrated, unitary battery pack may be formed and used as part of the structural support for a vehicle frame. The unitary battery pack includes arrays cells having all positive and negative electrical terminals aligned in-plane on a common face of the product assembly. The unitary battery pack includes cooling components for passively or actively cooling the cell arrays. The unitary battery pack is encased in a potting material that allows that forms part of the structure support for the unitary battery pack. The unitary batter pack may be integrated into the vehicle with or without additional support structures.

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.

Abstract: A skin care composition is an emulsion having a continuous phase and a dispersed phase. The continuous phase includes water and glycerin. The dispersed phase includes at least two emollients. The composition also includes a feel modifying particle and an emulsifier. IN some examples, the feel modifying particle can include modified corn starch and colloidal oatmeal. The emulsifier is cetearyl olivate and sorbitan olivate. The composition can be used to soothe irritated skin; provide relief to itchy, dry, irritated skin; and/or moisturize and soften skin.

Abstract: Multilayered electrolyte compositions and methods for their manufacture and use are described. The compositions can have an inner core and one or more coating layers. The compositions can contain at least one chlorine source and at least one citrate salt. The compositions are useful for treating water to improve safety, among other things.

Abstract: An accessory component assembly is provided that includes a frame, a first vehicle accessory, and a second vehicle accessory. The frame is configured to support vehicle accessories. The first vehicle accessory is mounted to the frame. The second vehicle accessory is mounted to the frame. The frame is configured to simultaneously couple the first vehicle accessory and the second vehicle accessory to a chassis of a vehicle such that the accessory component assembly can be functionally coupled to at least two other vehicle sub-systems.

Abstract: A vein simulator can enable a clinician to perform a PIVC workflow. This workflow can include preparation of simulated skin, insertion of a PIVC into a simulated vein, flushing a line of the PIVC and dressing and securing the PIVC to the simulated skin. The vein simulator may be formed of simulated tissue, simulated skin that is integrated into the simulated tissue and an embedded simulated vein that may be positioned within a protruding vein channel. Because the simulated skin is integrated into the simulated tissue, the vein simulator will provide a more realistic experience while practicing the workflow. A vein simulator may include one or more sensors to provide real-time feedback to a clinician while practicing the workflow.

Abstract: Systems and methods of restoring a lake including dredging, island creation, water treatment, real estate development, computer modeling of environmental conditions, wave height reduction, sediment removal and encapsulation, bathymetry contouring, littoral zone restoration, plant restoration, and/or fish restoration.

Abstract: A medical device may include a distal connector, which may include a first lever arm and a second lever arm. A distal end of the first lever arm and a first end of the second lever arm may include a first protrusion and a second protrusion, respectively. The distal connector may include a blunt cannula disposed between the first lever arm and the second lever arm. The medical device may include a cover coupled to the distal connector and having an annular wall surrounding the blunt cannula. The first protrusion and the second protrusion may contact at least one catch disposed on an outer surface of the annular wall. A proximal end of the first lever arm and a proximal end of the second lever arm may be configured to be pinched together to remove the first protrusion and the second protrusion from the at least one catch.

Abstract: A heavy duty power distribution system is provided that includes an electric vehicle control module and a cable interface coupled with the electric vehicle control module. The electric vehicle control module includes an electric vehicle frame assembly and a power distribution component coupled with the electric vehicle control module frame assembly. The electric vehicle control module frame assembly is configured to support components of the electric vehicle control module on a vehicle frame rail, e.g., behind a cab thereof. A cowling is disposed around the power distribution component. The cable interface has a first junction and a second junction which are configured to connect the power distribution component with a power source and a load respectively.

Abstract: An autonomous, artificial bait aims to simulate the movements of natural baits. The autonomous bait may be designed to appear as a natural bait such as a crawfish, shrimp, worm, or minnow. The autonomous bait includes a cavity in which a gas producing engine may be received. The gas producing engine includes a gas producing agent that produces gas when it interacts with water. That way, when water enters the gas producing engine, gas may be produced that interacts with the autonomous bait to cause movement of the bait that simulates the movements of a natural bait it aims to imitate.
