Abstract: The present invention provides copybook flat data conversion with inline transformation. Specifically, a streaming intermediary formatted data message is generated as a result of converting/transforming a flat file format (non-XML (Extensible Markup Language) format), such as raw fixed-length field COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) copybook format or the like. The streaming intermediary format is not fully held in memory, but rather is directly transformed/converted, using XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) processing, into a target format, such as structured XML or the like. By directly streaming the intermediary format to the XSLT process without holding the entire data message in memory, the present invention utilizes less memory and, as such, less memory is needed to be reclaimed.

Abstract: Disclosed are electroluminescent devices that comprise organic layers that contain certain organic compounds containing one ore more pyrimidine moieties. The organic compounds containing one ore more pyrimidine moieties are suitable components of blue-emitting, durable, organo-electroluminescent layers. The electroluminescent devices may be employed for full color display panels in for example mobile phones, televisions and personal computer screens.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a pressure controller and a method for monitoring and controlling the pressure level in a fire protection piping network maintained under vacuum pressure and for detecting a positive pressure variation in the network. The rate of pressure increase is used to detect the opening of a sprinkler head in the sprinkler piping network.

Abstract: The present invention provides for inline/parallel processing of data messages, specifically data response messages, to both transform and parse the data in one single pass. Parsing includes extracting common data elements (such as, error codes, fault codes, status codes and the like) from the message and deleting generic headers from the messages. In specific embodiments of the invention, the parallel processing of the present invention is made possible by implementation of a SAX parser. In such embodiments of the invention, the SAX parser implements a single filter to both transform and parse the data response messages simultaneously.

Abstract: A wheel assembly for an electric vehicle includes a wheel rim that is concentrically disposed about a central axis. A propulsion-braking module is disposed within an interior region of the wheel rim. The propulsion-braking module rotatably supports the wheel rim for rotation about the central axis. The propulsion-braking module includes a liquid cooled electric motor having a rotor rotatable about the central axis, and a stator disposed radially inside the rotor relative to the central axis. A motor-wheel interface hub is fixedly attached to the wheel rim, and is directly attached to the rotor for rotation with the rotor. The motor-wheel interface hub directly transmits torque from the electric motor to the wheel rim at a 1:1 ratio. The propulsion-braking module includes a drum brake system having an electric motor that rotates a cam device, which actuates the brake shoes.

Abstract: The appearance of a shirt or blouse is kept smooth and wrinkle-free by applying a non-permanent, self-adhering shirt support device comprising a clear or highly translucent basic support layer, an adhesive formulated to be temporarily affixable to a shirt fabric, and an optional soft touch layer to area adjacent to a shirt placket.

Abstract: A multi-functional electric module (eModule) is provided for a vehicle having a chassis, a master controller, and a drive wheel having a propulsion-braking module. The eModule includes a steering control assembly, mounting bracket, propulsion control assembly, brake controller, housing, and control arm. The steering control assembly includes a steering motor controlled by steering controllers in response to control signals from the master controller. A mounting feature of the bracket connects to the chassis. The propulsion control assembly and brake controller are in communication with the propulsion-braking module. The control arm connects to the lower portion and contains elements of a suspension system, with the control arm being connectable to the drive wheel via a wheel input/output block. The controllers are responsive to the master controller to control a respective steering, propulsion, and braking function.

Abstract: The various technologies presented herein relate to the determination of unexpected and/or malicious activity occurring between components communicatively coupled across a backplane. Control data, etc., can be intercepted at a backplane where the backplane facilitates communication between a controller and at least one device in an automation process. During interception of the control data, etc., a copy of the control data can be made, e.g., the original control data can be replicated to generate a copy of the original control data. The original control data can continue on to its destination, while the control data copy can be forwarded to an analyzer system to determine whether the control data contains a data anomaly. The content of the copy of the control data can be compared with a previously captured baseline data content, where the baseline data can be captured for a same operational state as the subsequently captured control data.
