Abstract: A port for electric vehicles includes an off-loading zone for off-loading one or more passengers from an electric vehicle; a loading zone for loading one or more passengers onto the electric vehicle; and a charging zone for charging the electric vehicle while the electric vehicle is moving from the off-loading zone to the loading zone.

Abstract: A system, method, and adaptor that facilitate data transmission are described. One example of the disclosed system facilitates the chip-to-chip transport of header descriptors and payloads. The system may include a source chip, a destination chip, and a set of queues describing buffer memory locations for staging header descriptors and payloads to be transferred from the source chip to the destination chip, where the set of queues are directly accessible to the source chip and to the destination chip.

Abstract: A system and method for managing logins and/or conducting data storage transactions, for example in a network interface. One exemplary embodiment comprises a method for interfacing a mass storage target system with a plurality of initiators. The method includes creating a data structure in local memory of a network interface chip to, at least in part, manage one or more logins; storing information comprising service parameter information m the data structure; and receiving a login request for a login comprising service parameter information. The method further includes comparing the service parameter information of the login request to the service parameter information stored in the data structure; determining, based at least in part on said comparing, to utilize the data structure to manage the login; and managing the login with the network interface chip using at least the data structure.

Abstract: A motor grader has an ordinary direction of travel, has a forward end and a rearward end as defined by the ordinary direction of travel, and has two opposed sides. At least one set of front wheels is steerably mounted on the opposed sides of the motor grader adjacent the forward end, with one front wheel in each set mounted on each opposed side of the motor grader. At least one front wheel in each set of front wheels is movably mounted to the motor grader and can be selectively positioned such that each front wheel on one side of the motor grader is further away from the rearward end than the other front wheel in that set.

Abstract: An API in an NPIV-compatible SAN is disclosed that includes functions for creating a vlink, replicating driver software for managing the vlink, monitoring resources in an HBA, or removing a target so that resources can be freed up for other vlinks. The API is part of a driver that communicates with a host OS and also communicates with an HBA to establish the vlinks between the host OS and FC devices. To create vlinks, an “add” function in the API is called by the OS. In addition, when a new vlink is created, a single version of an HBA interface function block is maintained in the driver, but a discovery function block, SCSI bus function block, and I/O function block are all duplicated, forming one logical vlink driver for each vlink. To obtain HBA resource information, a resource monitoring functions in the API may be called by the OS.

Abstract: Methods of high speed coating a pigment-containing liquid coating material onto a substrate so as to avoid visible pigment separation in the coating material in its as coated state. In the method, a pigment-containing liquid coating material is applied to a substrate, while the substrate is moving at a high line speed of at least about 15.24 m/min., to form a coated layer. The coating material is applied to the substrate along a substantially straight, dynamic wetting line where the coating material first contacts the moving substrate. The coating material is of the type that will exhibit visible pigment separation on its interface surface when the coating material is coated onto the fast moving substrate, without the use of a substantially straight wetting line. The wetting line is substantially straight when a significant amount of visible pigment separation does not occur at the chosen high line speed.

Abstract: An industrial exhaust ventilation system enabling access to exhaust generating processes while containing and controlling the resultant exhausted gases is provided. A cover assembly is attached to the structure generating the exhaust gases and is provided with a reciprocating cover having an open and closed position. The exhaust generating process is accessible only when the cover is open. A conventional exhaust system is also provided to maintain the low level of air circulation necessary to convey the generated exhaust to a treatment facility. The ventilation system is optionally provided with a workload enclosure that travels to selected process structures and forms a fume containment region by interengaging with the cover assembly located thereon.
