Abstract: A financial transaction card associated with an account of a cardholder is provided. The financial transaction card includes a front side, a back side, a signature block, and a validation code. The signature block includes a substrate having a bottom face and a top face wherein the bottom face is coupled to at least one of the sides of the card. The top face is substantially planar and includes a first data field and a second data field. The first data field and the second data field are non-overlapping. The validation code is associated with the account and is displayed within the second data field.

Abstract: An in-place method for molding a part includes positioning an insert in an injection mold cavity and injecting molding material around the insert to form a part which includes the molded part and the insert.

Abstract: Disclosed is a combination joint that affords axial, rotational and tilt movement. The joint includes an inner sleeve having an outer surface with a bearing race adjacent to and in contact with the outer surface of the inner sleeve. The inner sleeve can slide within the bearing race along an inner sleeve axis. The inner sleeve, and optionally the bearing race, can also rotate about the inner sleeve axis. A housing having an inner surface that generally matches an outer surface of the bearing race is also included. An end ring that is located at least partially within the housing and has an inner surface that generally matches the outer surface of the bearing race can also be included. The end ring and the housing afford the bearing race and the inner sleeve to tilt about a housing axis. In this manner, a combination joint capable of axial, rotational and tilt movement is provided.

Abstract: An improved bridge-shaped molded plastic passageway to carry an automotive wiring harness over a driveshaft tunnel in an automobile chassis is disclosed. The passageway comprises conforming base and cover components joined by two parallel hinged connectors. The base and cover are molded in a co-oriented condition so the cover is right-side-up relative to the base in both the open and closed conditions. Closing the passageway is accomplished by rectilinear movement of the cover relative to the base and the connector elements are concealed within the passageway when closed. Mold height and draw are dramatically reduced by this design.

Abstract: A system is used to determine which entry in the NDB should be chosen for similarly named identifiers. It first tries to use waypoints before the ambiguous name to determine which entry to use. If those are not available, the present system will use the aircraft's current position, or, if the aircraft is on the ground, the origin airport as determinative factors. These factors will take into account not having the aircraft's location, when the ambiguous waypoint is to be inserted into the route, and if the waypoint is an airway entry or exit.

Abstract: A coolant shutoff valve is closed when a motor-operated temperature door is moved to full cold position to prevent heating of air due to radiation, conduction, convection, or leakage around the door. The motor moves the door to hot or cold limit positions and remains in a stall condition to maintain such positions. A motor control responsive to operator selected temperature moves the door to such limit positions. A shutoff circuit associated with the motor control senses whether a hot or cold mode is selected and detects from the motor current whether the motor is stalled. When the circuit determines both a cold mode and motor stall current an actuation signal is sent to the shutoff valve.
