Abstract: A battery module has battery cells and a housing. The housing includes a first end plate, a second end plate, a first side plate, and a second side plate. The battery cells are disposed between the first end plate, the second end plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate. A cover is disposed at least partially over the first end plate, the second end plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate. A pressure release vent couples to the housing and includes an interior surface that defines a plurality of sections that are configured to dislodge from the pressure release vent based on a pressure within the battery module exceeding a pressure threshold. The individual sections pivot about segments during rupture of the pressure release vent.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to visual image management associated with a set of visual images with respect to a set of computer users. A set of visual image features that relates to both the set of visual images and the set of computer users may be detected. Based on the set of visual image features that relates to both the set of visual images and the set of computer users, a set of display attributes may be determined to construct a presentation configuration associated with the set of visual images with respect to the set of computer users. The set of display attributes may be provided to construct the presentation configuration to display the set of visual images with respect to the set of computer users.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, from at least one sensor operatively coupled to a mechanical device, sensor data corresponding to a function of the mechanical device; accessing, from an environmental database, information regarding at least one environmental condition in proximity to a geographical location of the mechanical device; generating, using a processor, a correlative value for the mechanical device, wherein the correlative value identifies a correlation between the sensor data corresponding to a function of the mechanical device and the at least one environmental condition; assigning the correlative value as a baseline correlative value to the mechanical device; monitoring the sensor data corresponding to a function of the mechanical device and the at least one environmental condition and updating the correlative value; identifying, using a processor, the correlative value for the mechanical device has exceeded a predetermined threshold as compared to the baseline correlative

Abstract: Reticle pods include inner pods where motion limiting features restrict translational motion of the cover and the baseplate relative to one another. The motion limiting features are in addition to gross alignment features included in the inner pod. The motion limiting features resist the translational motion before the gross alignment features would resist the motion. Motion limiting features can include elastic bodies providing friction against contact surfaces, or pins received on elastic contact surfaces or in diaphragms or motion limiting cups.

Abstract: Organometallic precursors are described for the formation of high resolution lithography patterning coatings based on metal oxide hydroxide chemistry. The precursor compositions generally comprise ligands readily hydrolysable by water vapor or other OH source composition under modest conditions. The organometallic precursors generally comprise a radiation sensitive organo ligand to tin that can result in a coating that can be effective for high resolution patterning at relatively low radiation doses and is particularly useful for EUV patterning. The precursors compositions are readily processable under commercially suitable conditions. Solution phase processing with in situ hydrolysis or vapor based deposition can be used to form the coatings.

Abstract: An electronic control unit (ECU), or node, is configured to use a single key for generating requests from a security peripheral for a MAC. The security peripheral includes the stored shared key. The security peripheral may further include a policy enabling it to detect if a request from the V-ECU is valid, in which case it generates a MAC. The security peripheral is also used to store information in a MAC Generate Allow List (MGAL). In some embodiments, the receiving nodes in a network receive data based on a security peripheral's response to a transmit nodes requests for a MAC. The receiving nodes use this knowledge to avoid being spoofed.

Abstract: A method of using a cryotherapeutic system in accordance with a particular embodiment includes advancing an elongate shaft of a catheter toward a treatment location within a body lumen of a human patient and directing a flow of refrigerant toward a cryotherapeutic element at a distal end portion of the shaft. The directed refrigerant is expanded to cause cooling within a balloon of the cryotherapeutic element. The pressure within the balloon is monitored and its rate of change calculated. The rate of change is then processed using different feedback loops during different monitoring windows of a treatment cycle. The individual feedback loops include an upper and a lower threshold and are configured to cause the flow of refrigerant to the cryotherapeutic element to stop if the rate of change falls outside a range between the upper and the lower threshold.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for explosion resistance include an explosion-resistant enclosure and a lid assembly. The lid assembly includes a lid for enclosing an opening of the explosion-resistant enclosure, and a graphical display assembly for presenting visual information regarding the analysis equipment.
