Abstract: An energy storage system and energy storage module for providing electrical energy to a generator start energy system or other electrically driven system. One or more ultracapacitors are included within the energy storage module for storing and providing electrical charge via a two-post electrical connection of the energy storage module. A mountable housing of the energy storage module provides a variety of mounting orientations within a compartment of the generator start energy system or other electrically driven system.

Abstract: A garment worn by a wearer has an exterior shell and an interior shell with various impact absorbing material between the exterior shell and the interior shell. The impact absorbing material includes multiple structures, such as rods or filaments, capable of deforming when force is applied then returning to its state prior to application of the force. In various embodiments, a rate sensitive material (RSM) is positioned in one or more locations relative to the exterior shell and the interior shell of the garment to further attenuate impacts to the garment. The RSM changes its resistance to force based on a rate at which the material is loaded.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed to devices, systems and/or methods for storing a substance in the lid of a disposable container. Specifically, the disclosed technology is directed to a lid for use with disposable cups such as hot beverage cups. The lid may have a recess adapted to receive a sealed substance-filled receptacle. The receptacle may be adapted to be detachably received into the recess such that it may be released from the recess by user before, during or after the consumption of the contents of the cup. The receptacle may reside in the lid in a manner which does not inhibit the use of the cup and/or lid as intended. Moreover, the receptacle may be substantially flush with the surface of the lid such that there is no resulting protrusion. The substance enclosed in the receptacle may be, for example, an oral hygiene product.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed to devices, systems and/or methods for storing a substance in the base of a disposable container. Specifically, the disclosed technology is directed to an insert for use with disposable containers such as hot beverage cups. The insert may be wholly or partially formed of a container which is sealed enclosing a substance therein. The insert may be adapted to be detachably received into the base of common containers. In further embodiments, a system may employ the insert already having been nested into the base region of a provided beverage container. The substance enclosed in the insert may be, for example, an oral hygiene product such as mouthwash.

Abstract: A cold-formed electrode tip for use in spot welding is provided. The cold-formed electrode tip includes a base, a rounded face, and an annular wall extending along a longitudinal axis of the electrode tip, the annular wall having a thickness such that the annular wall is configured to be readily deformed by a handheld tool.

Abstract: An in-memory storage manager represents XML-compliant documents as a collection of objects in memory. The collection of objects allows the storage manager to manipulate the document, or parts of the document with a consistent interface and to provide for features that are not available in conventional XML documents, such as element attributes with types other than text and documents that contain binary rather than text information. In addition, in the storage manager, the XML-compliant document is associated with a schema document which defines the arrangement of the document elements and attributes. The schema data associated with a document can contain a mapping between document elements and program code to be associated with each element. The storage manager further has methods for retrieving the code from the element tag. The retrieved code can then be invoked using attributes and content from the associated element and the element then acts like a conventional object.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in providing printed wire markers, comprises a spool of unprinted wire markers, a casing for the spool, the casing bearing sensible indicia defining information related to the encased wire markers, a sensor for sensing the indicia and providing output signals indicative of the information and a wire marker printer for receiving the spooled, unprinted wire markers from the casing and printing thereon accordingly with the information. An elongate wire marker holder device for supporting a wire marker for imprinting thereon, comprises an elongate one-piece body defining an elongate opening and first and second elongate body portions cantilever-supported by the body in the opening and having respective free ends spacedly juxtaposed at a location distal from locations of contiguity of the elongate body portions with the body to define a slot therebetween.

Abstract: An anti-vibration pad of deformable material for use in securing a conduit to a channel member. The conduit is held by means of a channel member with inwardly turned flanges and by two metal straps enveloping the pad and conduit and held together at one end by a nut and bolt combination and by the channel members inwardly-turned flanges at the other end. The pad is in the form of a split sleeve having metal strap retainer flanges on each side of the split on each end of the pad and a flat base from which extends two L-shaped protrusions whose thickness extends substantially the width of the upper portion of the pad. The horizontal leg of the L-shaped protrusion is adapted to be engaged below the inwardly turned flanges of the channel member.
