Abstract: A new automotive collision repair technology is provided, including system and data flow architectures that are designed to provide enhanced data and enhanced data flow in the context of vehicle diagnosis and repair, particularly when repairs are necessary due to collisions. In some examples, the data flow through the network is streamlined, to avoid network congestion, to use fewer computer and network resources and/or to enable the utilization of smaller databases. In other examples, enhanced access to data in real-time and near real-time enabled by a workflow module supports more accurate and timely decisions on vehicle repair. An advantage of this new automotive collision repair technology is that it enables a determination of relatedness likelihood of individual DTC, which in turn decreases costs and increases savings.

Abstract: A light fixture includes a housing having a first portion and a second portion. The light fixture further includes a first light emitting element supported within the first portion of the housing, and a second light emitting element supported within the second portion of the housing. The second light emitting element is controlled such that the second light emitting element provides a different color than the first light emitting element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the application of isolated promoters and synthetic dominant selection constructs and enhancers for gene targeting for efficient production of genetically modified cells in a species selected from the Pucciniomycotina and Ustilaginomycotina subphyla, in particular, species selected from the Rhodosporidium, Sporisorium, Sporobolomyces or Ustilago genera.

Abstract: Intrinsically safe transformers and power supplies for use in hazardous environments are disclosed. The intrinsically safe transformers include a housing, a first winding associated with the housing, and a second winding associated with the housing where either the first or second winding or both windings are within an insulating jacket or sleeve to electrically isolate the windings.

Abstract: Shaped electrodes for micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) devices to improve actuator performance and methods for fabricating the same are disclosed. The shaped electrodes utilize its three-dimensional geometry to shape an electric field for electrostatic actuation for MEMS devices. For example, the height, width, length, sidewall slope, and layout of the shaped electrodes can be used to provide an optimum electric field in moving a MEMS mirror device. The shaped electrodes can provide electrostatic actuation at a low operating voltage and provide an optimum electric field for maximum tilt or angular range of motion for a MEMS mirror device. The shaped electrodes can be fabricated simply by using a pillar wafer and an electrode wafer. The pillar wafer can be used to form pillars as electrodes, or, alternatively, as barriers. A single substrate can also be used to form pillars and electrodes.

Abstract: An optical switch having switch mirror arrays controlled by scanning beams that reduce the amount of electrical connections required and reduce the complexity for constructing large optical switches. Movement of the switch mirror arrays is controlled by one or more scanning beams. The optical switch includes one or more arrays of optical switch inputs and outputs and one or more arrays of movable mirrors to direct light beams from the optical switch inputs to the optical switch outputs. The optical switch also includes one or more control elements to control the movable mirrors based on scanning beams directed to the one or more control elements.
