The sweatshirt includes a collar section with an internal pocket that houses a hose connected to a vapor cartridge, with an access opening on the rear portion of the hood, collar, or torso. Additionally, a universal connector for the vapor cartridge is provided, ensuring a secure and adaptable connection between the vapor cartridge and the hose.

Abstract: A process for producing an ion-conducting membrane comprising a recombination catalyst-containing membrane layer. The membrane layer if fabricated from an ink comprising a stabilised dispersion of recombination catalyst nanoparticles. Also provided are ion-conducting membranes for electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells or water electrolysers, with a recombination catalyst-containing membrane layer comprising dispersed recombination catalyst nanoparticles, a nanoparticle stabilising agent, and an ion-conducting polymer.

Abstract: A high frequency (HF) cellular system includes base stations and mobile radio stations communicating through calls and links. The base stations include multiple receive channels to enable better management of calls within the HF cellular system. A signal from a mobile radio station within the HF cellular system is received by a first receiver of a first base station. The first base station performs an action related to the signal received from the mobile radio station using the first receiver. While the first receiver is occupied, another signal within the HF cellular system is received by a second receiver of the first base station. The first base station performs an action related to the other signal received by the second receiver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lithium manganese metal oxide material which comprises a first crystalline phase having a cation-disordered rock salt structure and a second crystalline phase having an orthorhombic LiMnO2 structure.

Abstract: Use of a separation material comprising picolinic acid ester or picolinic acid amide functional groups immobilised on a solid support to selectively remove Ni from an aqueous solution.

Abstract: A system and method for characterizing spectral emission including receiving data characterizing spectral emission from a flame, wherein the data includes a range of wavelengths and a corresponding range of intensities, determining one or more functions to analyze the data, determining, based on the one or more functions, a peak subset of the data and determining, based on the peak subset, one or more parameters of interest.

Abstract: A vehicle determines a surface deviance on a road ahead of the vehicle and towards which the vehicle is traveling. The vehicle determines an adjustment to an adaptive ride-height system of the vehicle to change a vehicle ground-clearance, the adjustment determined based at least on a dimension associated with the deviance and, prior to reaching the deviance, adjusts the adaptive ride-height system in accordance with the determined adjustment.

Abstract: An engine includes an intake manifold and an air-induction system configured to deliver air to the intake manifold. The air-induction system includes a throttle attached to the intake manifold, an air cleaner, conduit connecting between the air cleaner and the throttle to create a flow path therebetween, and a valve disposed in the flow path to be upstream of the throttle and downstream the air cleaner. The valve has a closed position in which the flow path is blocked to hold hydrocarbons within the intake manifold and inhibit emission therefrom and has an open position in which the flow path is unimpeded.

Abstract: Particulate carbon-coated lithium metal phosphate materials are provided with a copper content less than or equal to 1 ppm. Methods of making such materials are also provided, the methods involving the use of adsorbent materials comprising 2-aminomethylpyridine functional groups to remove copper from iron (II) precursors used in the formation of lithium metal phosphates.

Abstract: An antenna tilting assembly for mounting a CB antenna at an angle on a vehicle includes a citizen's band (CB) antenna. A mount is included that is mounted on a vehicle and the mount is positioned on an exterior of the vehicle. A fitting is provided that has a first section forming an angle with respect to a second section. The fitting is removably coupled between the CB antenna and the mount. Thus, the CB antenna is oriented at an angle corresponding to the angle between the first and second sections. In this way the fitting enhances an ornamental appearance of the CB antenna.

Abstract: A watersport equipment carrier configured to be mounted on a vehicle includes an elongate base having a longitudinal axis extending in an elongate direction and a plurality of support pads coupled to the base. A first pad and a second pad are spaced by a channel and configured to receive watersport equipment. A securement strap having a first end portion is coupled to the base and a locking mechanism is configured to releasably secure a second end portion of the securement strap.

Abstract: Isolated monoclonal antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that specifically bind neuraminidase (NA) of an N1 subtype influenza virus are disclosed herein. These antibodies and antigen binding fragments can be used for the detection of an N1 subtype influenza virus and for determining the immunogenicity of vaccines. The antibodies and antigen binding fragments also can be used for the treatment of a subject to prevent or ameliorate an influenza infection.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, a motor enclosed within the housing, and a work element configured to be driven by the motor.
