Abstract: Compounds of the formula (I) wherein the substituents are as defined in claim 1. Furthermore, the present invention relates to agrochemical compositions which comprise compounds of formula (I), to preparation of these compositions, and to the use of the compounds or compositions in agriculture or horticulture for combating, preventing or controlling animal pests, including arthropods and in particular insects, nematodes, molluscs or representatives of the order Acarina.

Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing emissions of an internal combustion engine are described. In one example, an electric heater and a passive NOx absorber or other emissions control device are positioned in a passage downstream of a combustor so as to process emissions from the combustor before an engine is started.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multi-fiber ferrule having a plurality of bores where each bore has an adjacent divider that separates the bores. The divider also facilitates insertion of an optical fiber into each bore.

Abstract: An optical fiber support structure for an optical fiber includes a substrate having a groove configured to receive the optical fiber and running lengthwise generally parallel to the optical fiber and at least two projections from the substrate and into the groove, each of said at least two projections including a surface to receive the optical fiber. The optical fiber support structures may also be included in a fiber optic ferrule. There may also be a plurality of optical fiber openings included with the fiber optic ferrule.

Abstract: A fiber optic ferrule has a main body having a front end, a rear end, and a top surface and a bottom surface joined together by opposing side surfaces and has a longitudinal axis. There are a plurality of optical fiber support structures disposed between the front end and rear end and configured to receive a plurality of optical fibers. The fiber optic ferrule has an end face at the front end of the fiber optic ferrule through which an optical beam passes. There are also a front facing refractive surface and a rear facing refractive surface, the rear facing refractive surface being closer to the end face than the front facing refractive surface, both being at an angle to the front facing refractive surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates selecting an appropriate communication radio mode based on criteria. In one example process, the device detects a fingerprint using the integrated biometric sensor and, in accordance with a determination that the fingerprint is consistent with an enrolled fingerprint and a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met, transitions to a second short-range communication radio mode different from a first short-range communication radio mode. In another example process, the device detects a fingerprint using the integrated biometric sensor and, in accordance with a determination that the fingerprint is consistent with the enrolled fingerprint and a determination that the set of one or more criteria is not met, the device is unlocked.

Abstract: A locking mechanism is described that releasably locks at least two objects together. The locking mechanism allows one of the objects to be rotatably connected to the other, allowing for a variety of uses. The rotatability and releasability of the locking mechanism allows several locking mechanisms to be used together as an escape hatch system, particularly for use in race vehicles. The locking mechanism has uses beyond the escape hatch system and is applicable to doors, cover, and other objects that are rotatably attached to a second object.

Abstract: A storage locker for a sleeping cot (L) comprises a rigid container (90) of predetermined height, length, width, and cross-sectional shape, with a top (91), a bottom (92), a front (93), a back (94), a right end (95), a left end (116) and a recessed handle assembly (104). Vertical partitions (117, 119, and 120), and horizontal partitions (124, 126, and 128) within container (90) bound drawers (106), open-face compartments (108), and closed-faced compartments (118 and 121) fronted by access doors (110). Drawers (106) and doors (110) are locked closed by conventional cam locks (114). Container end apertures (96) facilitate optional attachment of prior-art foldable beverage container holder(s) (172) using various conventional fasteners including variable depth push fasteners (180). And apertures (100 and 101) in top 91 of container 90 facilitate its demountable attachment to a variety of sleeping cots (C) using conventional u-bolt assemblies (160).
