Abstract: A bundle of roofing shingles, including at least four rows of roofing shingles, where the at least four rows of roofing shingles includes a first roofing shingle row, a second roofing shingle row, a third roofing shingle row, and a fourth roofing shingle row, where the first roofing shingle row includes a first roofing shingle having a first length; and where the second roofing shingle row includes: a second roofing shingle having a second length, and a third roofing shingle having a third length, where the second roofing shingle is adjacent the third roofing shingle, where the second length is greater than the third length, and where the second row is located above the first row.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a display, a facial interface, and a connector between the display and the facial interface. The facial interface can at least translate or rotate relative to the display via the connector.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antisense oligonucleotides, which target ANGPTL2 mRNA in a cell, leading to reduced expression of ANGPTL2 protein. Reduction of ANGPTL2 protein expression is beneficial for the treatment of certain medical disorders, such as those associated with abnormal ANGPTL2 expression and/or activity e.g., cardiovascular-related diseases or disorders.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antisense oligonucleotides, which target CAMK2D mRNA in a cell, leading to reduced expression of CAMK2D protein. Reduction of CAMK2D protein expression is beneficial for the treatment of certain medical disorders, e.g., cardiovascular-related diseases or disorders.

Abstract: A process for refining platinum group metals (PGM) first removes concentrations of base metals (BM) from the PGM through precipitation of the BM by increasing alkalinity in the dissolving aqueous solution. A large fraction of the aqueous solution is distilled before increasing alkalinity. Os is recovered from the distillate The aqueous solution is heated following precipitation of the BM; and the PGM is loaded on borane containing reduction resins. The loaded resins are washed; and the PGM is stripped from the resins with gaseous oxygen. The stripped PGM are then processed using only substituted quaternary ammonium salt (SQAS) as the refining reagent. The waste solutions from the refining are all combined together; solvent is removed; residual PGM is recycled in the process; and concentrated SQAS is recovered for further refining. Pt, Pd and Ru are refined from acidic SQAS solutions by reducing the metals from the solutions with H2.

Abstract: A hanger arrangement for heavy-duty vehicle axle/suspension systems includes a pair of front hangers transversely spaced from one another and attached to the vehicle. A pair of transversely spaced rear hangers are spaced longitudinally rearwardly from the front hangers and are attached to the vehicle. A first axle/suspension system is mounted on the front pair of hangers and a second axle/suspension system is mounted on the rear pair of hangers. The pair of front hangers include a rear edge that extends generally downwardly frontwardly toward the front end of the vehicle. The pair of rear hangers include a front edge extending generally downwardly rearwardly toward the rear end of the vehicle.

Abstract: An air spring piston for a heavy-duty vehicle includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion includes a bumper and a connecting means for an air spring bellows. The bottom portion is mounted on a structure of the vehicle. The top portion and bottom portion are connected to each other to form a piston chamber and include a bearing means for reacting bumper forces from the bumper to the bottom portion and to the structure of the vehicle on which the bottom portion is mounted. The piston chamber is in fluid communication with a bellows chamber of the air spring via an opening, wherein the geometry of the opening is such that during dynamic spring movements, the pressure in the piston chamber and the pressure in the bellows chamber are not equalized.

Abstract: An air-ride beam-type axle/suspension system for a heavy-duty vehicle with a gross axle weight rating of greater than 23,000 lbs./axle includes a pair of transversely spaced beams. Each one of the beams includes inboard and outboard sidewalls. A large diameter axle extends between and is rigidly connected to the beams via a pair of axle-to-beam connections. Each one of the axle-to-beam connections includes a sleeve having an increased thickness rigidly connected to the axle and the beam. Each sleeve is formed with at least a front and a rear window located between the beam sidewalls. The inboard and/or outboard edges of the sleeve windows are spaced relatively far from the beam sidewalls. The sleeve windows are asymmetrically angled with respect to the horizontal centerline of the axle at design ride height. The axle/suspension system reduces weight while maintaining desired stiffness and durability of the axle/suspension system.
