Abstract: Electrified vehicle charging systems may be equipped with multiple charging interfaces. An exemplary charging system may include a charge adapter for allowing a single charge plug/connector/coupler to be split into multiple charge plugs/connectors/couplers for simultaneously utilizing each charging interface for charging a traction battery pack of the electrified vehicle. Use of the charge adapter can reduce charging times when only a single charge plug is available at a charging station.

Abstract: A vortex breaker for a particulate separator has a first set of vanes spaced along a perimeter of a first shape and a second set of vanes spaced along a perimeter of a second shape, where the second shape resides within the first shape. Each of the vanes has a top edge, a bottom edge, an inside edge, and an outside edge. The vanes in the first and second sets of vanes intersect the first and second shapes, respectively. The vanes in the first set are oriented in a first rotational direction, and the vanes in the second set are oriented in a second rotational direction that is opposite the first rotational direction. The first set of vanes and the second set of vanes define fluid flow paths between the outside edges and the inside edges of the sets of vanes.

Abstract: A particulate separator having a top baffle extends radially from an outer edge toward a vertical axis. The top baffle is positioned between an inlet port and a fluid outlet port. A radial flow channel extends below the top baffle from the outer edge toward the fluid outlet port. A series of baffles are positioned concentrically about the fluid outlet port and within the radial flow channel. The series of baffles include a first set of baffles having a top edge connected to a bottom surface of the top baffle and a bottom edge spaced below the top edge. A second set of baffles have a top edge spaced from a bottom surface of the top baffle. The first set of baffles are interleaved with the second set of baffles to define an alternating flow path along the radial flow channel from the outer edge to the fluid outlet port.

Abstract: A single content region in a chat history display is used to display entries representative of a plurality of messages corresponding to all chat histories for all of chat threads currently engaged in by a given mobile terminal. Additionally, a buddy list display supports management of chat buddies, a detail view display allows otherwise truncated messages to be displayed, and a text message editor display supports the composition of text messages. Each chat user may designate public display identifiers for purposes of identification to other chat users. Additionally, each user may designate private display identifiers for each of his/her buddies, which private display identifiers may be used to replace the public display identifiers for that user's buddies when displayed on the user's mobile terminal. In this manner, the use of speech and text based group chatting and similar services in wireless communication environments is more readily enabled.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficient storage and/or processing of enterprise data. A set of data from a content management system (CMS) is received and interpreted to determine a hierarchical object structure for the set of data. The hierarchical object structure includes: at least one parent object; at least one child object that is a subordinate object of the parent object; an indication of each parent/child relationship; and a set of attributes for each of the objects. The set of attributes for each of the at least one parent object and the at least one child object are analyzed in light of the indication of each parent/child relationship to gather accumulated attribute data. A graphical user interface (GUI) is rendered that presents one or more graphical cards representing the objects.

Abstract: A pre-lubricated stock sheet and a method and system for making the same are described. The pre-lubricated stock is generally in a coil wound form. The stock sheet can have opposing first and second sheet surfaces joined together by opposing side edges and opposing ends. Typically, the first and second sheet surfaces are substantially smooth and planar, wherein the sheet has 3 mg/foot2/side to about 200 mg/foot2/side of a solid lubricant having a melting temperature from about 80 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Moreover, the opposing side edges usually are substantially free of the solid lubricant. In some configurations, the stock sheet is an aluminum stock sheet, more particularly an aluminum can stock sheet. Furthermore, the lubricant can be in some configurations a food grade lubricant, that is qualifies a low volatile organic compound under one or more of municipal, state and federal governing authorities.

Abstract: A separator vessel has inlet, fluid outlet, and sand outlet ports. Each of the fluid and sand outlet ports are spaced below the inlet port. The separator has an enclosure between the inlet and fluid outlet ports. The enclosure redirects the fluid stream and defines an inner cavity above a lower edge of the enclosure, the lower edge defining a liquid flow area. The separator has one or more vanes extending along an outer surface of the enclosure which redirect the fluid stream along a curved flow path as the fluid stream flows toward the lower edge, and a plurality of apertures adjacent to the vanes, the apertures permitting fluid flow into the inner cavity of the enclosure. The fluid outlet port is disposed within the inner cavity above the lower edge of the enclosure and below one or more apertures.
