Abstract: The invention relates to a glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composition comprising a sheathed continuous multifilament strand comprising a core that extends in the longitudinal direction and a polymer sheath which intimately surrounds said core, wherein the core comprises an impregnated continuous multifilament strand comprising at least one continuous glass multifilament strand, wherein the at least one continuous glass multifilament strand is impregnated with an impregnating agent, wherein the polymer sheath consists of a thermoplastic polymer composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer, wherein the glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composition comprises a liquid color composition comprising a pigment and a liquid carrier comprising a dicarboxylic acid ester and/or an unsaturated long-chain aliphatic fatty acid having 13 to 21 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A battery pack comprising: a battery comprising at least one battery cell, connectors and heat exchanger means, and a battery housing comprising: a bottom enclosure comprising at least a base and an upstanding peripheral wall, the bottom enclosure is suitable to contain the battery, a lid suitable for closing the bottom enclosure, and fixation means suitable to maintain the lid on the bottom enclosure in order to close the battery pack housing, characterized in that the lid comprises at least a protrusion, the protrusion is positioned in order to press the battery assembly towards the center of the module, wherein the battery is contained inside the bottom enclosure and the lid is covering the bottom enclosure and retained by the fixation means inside the battery housing, adjacent to the wall of the bottom enclosure and the battery.

Abstract: A hybrid seating structure, comprising: a main structure formed from a thermoplastic material and injection molded as a single piece, comprising: a frame formed by a left channel, right channel, bottom channel, and top channel; wherein each channel is defined by an outside wall, an inside wall, and a connecting wall that extends between the outside wall and the inside wall, wherein the inside walls of each channel form an inner side of the frame, and the outside walls and connecting walls form an exterior side of the frame; and each channel comprises a first reinforcing rib structure disposed in the channel; wherein the outside wall of the left channel comprises a first reinforcement; and wherein the outside wall of the right channel comprises a second reinforcement.

Abstract: A proactive repository stores authenticated information regarding Entities and their properties. A set of conditions and policies is associated with the information in the repository. These conditions govern the release of information to an authorized recipient. Release conditions include various forms of activation, such as activation of emergency services dispatch, a change in condition of a public utility, a change in geophysical or meteorological conditions, etc. At least one responsible third party can authenticate Entities, agents agencies and the like, validate associated credentials, and store received information in the repository. A first proactive repository can be stored within a second proactive repository. A proactive repository can provide the facilities of a multi-modal notification delivery system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for measuring the position of at least one field producing element (e.g., a magnet) without a direct electrical or physical connection between the field producing element and the sensor(s). In one embodiment, the output from an array of sensors (e.g., Hall Effect sensors) is curve fit using an algorithm having a characteristic bell curve (e.g., curve fit tracking algorithm, center of gravity algorithm, etc.) to determine at least one of an absolute or relative position associated with the field producing element and/or a property associated with the field producing element (e.g., magnetic flux). Another embodiment is directed to detecting errors in one or more of the sensors and excluding the output of the faulty sensors in determining the position associated with the field producing element.

Abstract: A nickel-base alloy consisting of, in weight percent, 42 to 58 nickel, 21 to 28 chromium, 12 to 18 cobalt, 4 to 9.5 molybdenum, 2 to 3.5 aluminum, 0.05 to 2 titanium, at least one microalloying agent selected from the group consisting of 0.005 to 0.1 yttrium and 0.01 to 0.6 zirconium, 0.01 to 0.15 carbon, 0 to 0.01 boron, 0 to 4 iron, 0 to 1 manganese, 0 to 1 silicon, 0 to 1 hafnium, 0 to 0.4 niobium, 0 to 0.1 nitrogen, incidental impurities and deoxidizers.

Abstract: A single file, such as an HTML document, is logically divided into multiple articles that can be individually recognized and ranked by search engines. The segmentation of a document into separate articles is based upon tokens that are used in document mark-up languages. In addition to the tokens which delineate articles from one another, additional tokens, or tags, are used to create a named location for each article, so that a browser can immediately display an article within a document that is relevant to a search query.
