Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle body, a door and a handle assembly. A door is coupled to the vehicle body and is pivotable about a horizontal axis between a closed position and a horizontal open position. The door is also pivotable about a vertical axis between the closed position and a vertical open position. The handle assembly includes a housing, a first release switch and a second release switch. The housing extends at least partially into a cavity of the door and includes a lower wall and an upper wall that cooperate to define a pocket. The first release switch is disposed along the upper wall of the housing and is configured to be actuated to pivot the door about the horizontal axis. The second release switch is disposed along the lower wall of the housing and is configured to be actuated to pivot the door about the vertical axis.

Abstract: A vehicle tailgate (30) has a frame (40) with a cross beam (42) and a pair of side beams (44, 46). One side beam (44, 46) extends from each end of the cross beam (42). A first metal tapping plate (50, 150) is secured with the cross beam (42). At least one elongated tang (56) is positioned between the body (52) and each tab (54). A clevis bracket (82) is positioned on the side beams (44, 46). An overmolded (108) material is on the shaft (100, 102) and the two heads (96, 98) of the striker (88). The wedges (92, 94), on the clevis bracket (82), aligns the clevis bracket (82) with the striker (84). A second tapping plate (70) is secured to the sheet metal.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide methods, systems and computer-readable media that employ adaptive binning and dissimilarity scores based on a quadratic form distance for multidimensional data for matching clusters in data corresponding to different sample. Some embodiments provide methods, systems and computer-readable media for rendering a first interactive display including a two-dimensional plot of at least a portion of a multidimensional data set and a corresponding second interactive display including a plurality of single parameter charts or histograms, each displaying information corresponding to one-dimensional measurements of a different parameter in the multidimensional data set.

Abstract: The described invention provides a method and/or system for analyzing data using population clustering through density based merging, and a method for guiding clustering strategy through entropy-based ranking score.

Abstract: A method for defining distributions of functional subpopulations of cells in a cell population.

Abstract: The described invention provides a method for quantifying cellular antigens that is independent of specially prepared calibration beads and antibody reagents. The described method can be applied to both low and high affinity antibodies, under both saturating and non-saturating binding conditions.

Abstract: A vehicle door latch assembly is disclosed herein, the vehicle door latch assembly having: a fork bolt movably secured to the latch assembly, the fork bolt being capable of movement between a latched position and an unlatched position; a detent lever movably secured to the latch assembly, the detent lever being capable of movement between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the detent lever retains the fork bolt in the latched position when the detent lever is in the engaged position and a engagement surface of the detent lever contacts an engagement surface of the fork bolt; and an actuator for moving the detent lever into the disengaged position from the engaged position, the actuator being configured to prevent the detent lever from moving back to the engaged position until the fork bolt has been moved to the unlatched position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for archiving data. A server computer (or any computing device) receives data transmitted over a network from a client computer, wherein at least some of the data was previously collected by a scientific instrument during an experiment. After receiving the data, the server computer updates (e.g., creates) an index for the received data, archives the received data, and automatically transmits a notification to the client computer that the received data has been archived.

Abstract: This invention relates a series of methods for the visual representation and subsequent application of analyses on complex data sets. In particular, this invention is useful for the analysis of multiple sample sets that share common features, for which similar types of analyses are desired. Three concepts are embodied to aid in this analysis: “Functional equivalence by Algorithmic Polymorphism” (FEAP), in which an analysis algorithm is abstracted through the use of an associated name; a genealogical metaphor for the representation of successive or parallel analysis steps, in which “families” of analyses can be easily copied between different sample data sets; and batch analysis through the creation of multi-sample analysis surrogates (MSAS), which are groups of samples wherein analyses applied to an MSAS is then applied to every sample within the MSAS group.
