Abstract: A method for using an article of footwear while sitting in a chair capable of transitioning between at least first, second, and third states. The article of footwear includes an outsole. The outsole includes a medial wrap-up, a lateral wrap-up, and a heel wrap-up. The method includes positioning the article of footwear in a first footwear state while sitting in a chair first state. The method further includes positioning the article of footwear in a second footwear state while sitting in a chair second state. When in the second footwear state, the medial wrap-up deforms relative to the first footwear state. The method further includes positioning the article of footwear in a third footwear state while sitting in a chair third state. When in the third footwear state, the heel wrap-up deforms relative to the first footwear state.

Abstract: Systems and methods for initiating and/or terminating a GMAW-P welding process are disclosed. A welding-type power supply may include a power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type power, and a controller configured to control the power conversion circuitry based on a plurality of operating parameters. In examples, the systems and methods disclosed herein implement pulsed cycles with one or more increased output parameters (such as current, pulse width, etc.) in order to jump start a pulsed welding cycle at a cold start (i.e. at initiation of a welding process), and thereby prevent a ball forming and remaining on the end of an electrode wire as the welding process continues. In a similar manner, a pulsed cycle with one or more increased parameters can be used to terminate the welding process, also preventing the ball forming and remaining on the electrode wire.

Abstract: Systems and methods for clearing a short during a GMAW-P welding process are disclosed. A welding-type power supply may include a power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type power, and a controller configured to control the power conversion circuitry based on a plurality of operating parameters. In examples, if the controller senses an occurrence of a short circuit during the welding cycle (e.g., during the background state), the voltage-controlled process can adjust an output current to increase in order to achieve one or more short state target voltage values. Once the short has cleared (as evidenced by a spike in voltage) and/or a desired short state target voltage value is achieved, the controller can again adjust the output current to decrease until the voltage has returned to a background voltage level.

Abstract: A multi-chamber assembly safely stores enhancement gas for efficient and complete combustion of a carbonaceous fuel is presented. The multi-chamber assembly safely stores the enhancement gas, for example, for use by the internal combustion engine such as an internal combustion engine of a vehicle and/or a generator.

Abstract: A system for efficient combustion of a carbonaceous fuel is presented. An ultra low quantity of enhancement gas may be introduced to an internal combustion engine to improve at least one operating metric of the internal combustion engine such as fuel economy and/or reduce engine-out emissions, for example in a vehicle or generator.

Abstract: An electrolysis system may include a pressure-resistant assembly. The pressure-resistant assembly may include a first defined space configured to at least partially immerse a plurality of electrolysis plates in an aqueous solution. The pressure-resistant assembly may further include a second defined space configured to contain an enhancement gas or a component of the enhancement gas. The enhancement gas or the component of the enhancement gas may be generated in the first defined space. A volume of the second defined space may be in the range of 80-120% of a volume of the first defined space.

Abstract: Container system and method for freezing (and subsequently thawing) a liquid such as a drug substance, such that all containers in a set have a uniform width, hence uniform freeze-path length, in the widthwise direction and perpendicular to major walls of the containers, irrespective of the particular length, height, and volumetric capacity of the various containers in the set. This leads to uniform freezing performance and thereby reduces cryoconcentration. The system also eliminates or reduces ice-bridging, and the potential for containers rupturing during freezing and thawing operations.

Abstract: The invention relates to sports garment (1) for team sports, especially for soccer, football, rugby, handball or basketball, comprising an upper part (2) which covers at least a part of the torso of the wearer and pants (3) which covers at least a part of the abdomen of the wearer, wherein the upper part (2) and the pants (3) are forming a one-piece part. To improve the fit of the sports garment at the body of the wearer and to ensure a high degree of convenience during wearing the invention proposes that the upper part (2) and the pants (3) are made as a unitary knitted design, wherein the garment (1) is made as a seamless textile article without seams around the whole circumference of the garment (1) along at least 40% (h) of the total vertical extension (H) of the garment (1), wherein the seamless section of the garment (1) extends at least along a part of the vertical extension of the upper part (2) and extends at least along a part of the vertical extension of the pants (3).

Abstract: Systems and methods to control pulse welding are disclosed. An example welding-type system includes: power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type power; and control circuitry configured to control the power conversion circuitry to output the welding-type power in a plurality of pulse cycles, each pulse cycle comprising a background phase, a ramp up phase, a peak phase, and a ramp down phase. Controlling the power conversion circuitry involves: during the ramp up phase of the pulse cycles, controlling the power conversion circuitry in a current-controlled mode and switching to controlling the power conversion circuitry in a voltage-controlled mode when a peak transition voltage is reached; and during the ramp down phase of the pulse cycles, controlling the power conversion circuitry in a current-controlled mode and switching to controlling the power conversion circuitry in a voltage-controlled mode when a background transition voltage is reached.
