Abstract: A sole structure for an article of footwear includes a bladder defining a peripheral chamber and a heel chamber fluidly isolated from the peripheral chamber. The peripheral chamber is configured as an elongated tube, and has a heel portion establishing a rear periphery of the bladder, a lateral arm portion extending from the heel portion and establishing a lateral periphery of the bladder, and a medial arm portion extending from the heel portion and establishing a medial periphery of the bladder. The bladder includes webbing connecting the heel chamber to the peripheral chamber, with the heel chamber disposed between the medial arm portion and the lateral arm portion and forward of the peripheral chamber in a heel region of the bladder. The bladder may include additional forefoot and midfoot chambers having specific shapes.

Abstract: A control method improves the efficiency profile of a power supply across a wide range of output loading. The method includes obtaining a measure of output power for a power supply, which includes one or more output modules and an auxiliary power supply. The method determines whether a maximum power rating of the auxiliary power supply is sufficient to provide the measure of output power. Responsive to a determination that the maximum power rating of the auxiliary power supply is sufficient to provide the measure of output power, the controller of the power supply directs the auxiliary power supply to provide the output power.

Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure sets forth a turn signal system for a steering wheel that is easier to use and improves turn signal usage compliance and, accordingly, safety. The turn signal system includes at least one hand location detection sensor; at least one pressure actuated switch mechanism which is actuatable by the operator; a turn signal control, the turn signal control operatively connected to the at least one hand location detection sensor and the at least one pressure actuated switch mechanism, the turn signal control also operatively connected to left and right turn signals of the vehicle to indicate a turn to the left or right. Wherein actuation of the at least one pressure actuated switch mechanism by a hand of the operator of the vehicle provides a signal to the turn signal control to indicate a turn to the left or right.

Abstract: Fixtures for releasably holding a sensor having a first sensor portion and a second sensor portion, methods for making such fixtures, and methods for installing a sensor harness, are provided. In one example, a fixture includes a clip portion that is configured to hold a first sensor portion of a sensor. A support portion is coupled to and extends away from the clip portion. An arm portion is coupled to and extends away from the support portion. The arm portion is configured to hold a second sensor portion of the sensor. The fixture has a frangible seam formed therein that ruptures in response to an applied force for removing the fixture from the sensor.

Abstract: Systems for identifying, tagging, modifying and reconciling information contained in a document are the subjects of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the document may be linked to one or more source data formats, which are maintained as the document is modified by one or more users over time. The modifications are tracked and associated source data is updated to reflect those modifications. Clauses, terms and conditions may be revised and templates created based on revisions, and accessed by a user for subsequent use. Methods for selecting, modifying, reconciling and tracking a document, as well as presenting suggestions for a document are also disclosed.

Abstract: An example fluid applicator device includes an applicator assembly, and a reservoir assembly configured to store a fluid and is rotatable, relative to the applicator assembly, to control a valve mechanism that controls a flow of the fluid from the reservoir assembly to the applicator assembly, wherein the applicator assembly is configured to apply the fluid to a surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to determinable effects of ethanol exposure on the cellular localization and abundance of specific proteins, referred to herein as ethanol indicative proteins. More specifically, the present invention is based, in part, on the discovery that the catalytic C&agr; subunit of cAMP dependent protein kinase (PKA), which is normally localized in the Golgi apparatus area, appears to translocate to the nucleus upon exposure of a cell to ethanol. The present invention is further based on the observation that the &dgr;-subunit of PKC translocates from the Golgi area to the perinucleus and the nucleus in response to ethanol exposure, while the &egr;-subunit of PKC migrates from the perinucleus into the cytoplasm. The present invention further relates to the discovery that the detectable amount of the regulatory subunit RI of PKA decreases, while the detectable amount of &agr;PKC, &dgr;PKC and &egr;PKC increases upon exposure of a cell to ethanol.

Abstract: A fuel tank fitting for withdrawing fuel through a fuel sensor aperture in a fuel tank. The fitting includes an annular member having a plurality of spaced-apart fastener apertures. A fuel line has a first portion extending generally radially through the annular member to its central aperture. The fuel line has a second portion connected to the first portion and extending perpendicularly away from the bottom of the annular member.
