Abstract: A battery pack and transport coupler for enabling the battery pack to reduce the pack power capacity. The battery pack include at least two strings of battery cells and a coupler provided at least partially inside the housing. The coupler is moveable between a first position, which causes the string of battery cells to be electrically connected inside the housing, and a second position, which causes the strings of battery cells to be electrically disconnected inside the housing.

Abstract: Receiving information associated with a health care service provided to a patient; distributing a plurality of rules for determining responsibility for payment for the health care service across a plurality of hierarchical computer-implemented auditing systems including a primary auditing system and a secondary auditing system; generating, using the primary auditing system, a first payment recommendation for the health care service based on a first subset of the plurality of rules and the information associated with the health care service; communicating the information associated with the health care service to the secondary auditing system; generating, using the secondary auditing system, a second payment recommendation for the health care service based on a second subset of the plurality of rules and the information associated with the health care service; and merging the first payment recommendation with the second payment recommendation to generate a final payment recommendation for the health care servi

Abstract: A battery pack and transport coupler for enabling the battery pack to reduce the pack power capacity. The battery pack include a plurality of strings of battery cells and a switching network for coupling and decoupling the strings of battery cells from each other. When the plurality of strings of battery cells are coupled together in a default configuration the transport coupler includes a decoupler for decoupling the strings of battery cells and when the plurality of strings of battery cells are not coupled together in a default configuration the transport coupler includes a coupler for coupling the strings of battery cells for operation with an electronic device such as a power tool.

Abstract: A chop saw includes a base assembly and a saw assembly pivotally attached to the base assembly. The base assembly has a workpiece-supporting plane. The saw assembly has a blade and a motor driving the blade. A hinged connection between the base assembly and a saw assembly allows a user to rotate the saw assembly from a position where the plane of the blade extends through the workpiece-supporting plane to a position where the plane of the blade does not extend through the workpiece-supporting plane. In such position, the plane of blade may be substantially parallel to the workpiece-supporting plane. A switch or sensor may detect when the saw assembly is in the pivoted position so that the motor cannot be activated in such position.

Abstract: Polynucleotides for multigene applications comprising a novel functional arrangement, as well as vectors, host cells, and recombinant animals comprising the polynucleotides are described. Methods for generating multigene expression cassettes, methods for producing multiprotein complexes in vitro and in vivo, and methods for producing a vaccine are also disclosed. Further encompassed are methods for screening protein complex interactions or modifications of proteins, and methods for in vitro or in vivo screening of candidate compounds capable of protein complex interactions, modifications of proteins, inhibiting protein complex interactions or inhibiting modifications of proteins. Methods of use of the polynucleotides, vectors, host cells or recombinant animals for (i) preparing a medicament for gene therapy, for (ii) the recombinant production of multiprotein complexes, (iii) for producing a vaccine, or (iv) for screening compounds of interest.
