Abstract: An air management system for a vehicle having a first pneumatic circuit and a second pneumatic circuit, in which the first and second pneumatic circuits are pneumatically connected in a neutral position via a cross-flow mechanism. The first pneumatic circuit is configured to independently adjust air pressure of a first side of the vehicle. The second pneumatic circuit is configured to independently adjust air pressure of a second side of the vehicle. The system is configured to establish pneumatic communication between the first and second pneumatic circuits when the air management system is not independently adjusting the adjust air pressure of the first side of the vehicle and the air pressure of the second side of the vehicle in the cross-flow mode.

Abstract: An article of manufacture for providing a region- and species-specific fish-measuring device with fish catch or release rules is disclosed. The article has a base member having a top surface and a first end, a starting end surface member coupled to the first end of the base member, and a measuring ruler along the top surface of the base member. The starting end surface member extending upward perpendicular to the top surface of the base member. The measuring ruler having a measuring starting position from the starting end surface member, a plurality of measuring sections, and a legend. The plurality of measuring sections each contain one or more graphic representations of fish species legal to keep when a measured fish is at least as long as the measuring section fish species to which the measured fish belongs.

Abstract: A shaving aid for razor cartridges comprising water soluble filaments having nano-sized diameters and exhibiting lubricating properties and with improved visual and tactile aesthetics.

Abstract: A cartridge including a housing, at least one blade having a blade tip, and a shaving aid positioned on said housing and having a skin contacting portion. The shaving aid includes a co-axial filament having a diameter of from about 0 nm to about 1000 nm and has a core and a sheath. Also disclosed is a method of making a shaving aid for use on a razor including: extruding a shaving aid through a die to form an extruded shaving aid, in which the shaving aid has a skin contacting surface; and electrospinning at least two components to form a co-axial nano-filament onto a portion of the skin contacting surface to form a coated shaving aid, in which the two components are immiscible.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing printed images on metal with tight bends provides for crack free edges at the tight bends, something previously unattainable in the marketplace. Specifically, prior to bending the metal, the at least coated metal (if not dye sublimated printed) is at an elevated temperature in a range of 90 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, such as in a range of 190-200 degrees. The metal is then bent which has been found to permit self-leveling of the coating throughout the tight bend, as opposed to it being so narrow that cracking occurs.

Abstract: The system and method described herein provide mechanisms by which connected devices and/or internal subsets of devices can be used to implement an electronic preemptive evidentiary escrow platform. Such a platform can be used, for example, as a preemptive defensive mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to information, while permitting authorized access with a minimum of additional burden. A compound message is partitioned into public summary data and private detail media/metadata. The public summary data is made readily available, while the private data is only made available to authorized entities upon occurrence of predefined condition(s). In at least one embodiment, one or more hardware devices can be automatically reconfigured upon occurrence of predefined condition(s) to allow authorized access to private data.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: obtaining a list of detected wireless signals; determining, using a processor, that a previous list of detected wireless signals shares at least some commonality with the list of detected wireless signals; for common entries in the list, analyzing with a processor, a characteristic of an entry of the list of detected wireless signals and a characteristic of an entry of the previous list of detected wireless signals; establishing, if the similarity metric meets a criterion, an estimated location of a device; and requesting, from a third party location service, a device location if the similarity metric does not meet the criterion. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: A method for determining whether to perform vertical handoff between multiple network. The method comprises obtaining a plurality of selection metrics for each network, calculating, for each of the other communication networks, a predicted utility value from at least the corresponding plurality of selection metrics using a variable kernel regression function, obtaining, for the current communication network, a second plurality of selection metrics; calculating a second predicted utility value for the current communication network from at least the corresponding second plurality of selection metrics using a second variable kernel regression function, comparing each of the predicted utility values for each of the plurality of other communication networks with the second predicted utility value and switching to one of the other communication networks having the highest predicted utility value, if the highest predicted utility value is greater than the second predicted utility value.

Abstract: Hot-rolled high-strength steel elongated structural members and method of making same are disclosed by hot-rolling high-strength steel having a specific chemical composition to provide structural units. The units are then welded together to provide structural members of desired geometrical configuration including a thin web with opposed thicker flanges extending therefrom to increase the load bearing capacity of the members.
