Abstract: A composite vehicle driveshaft is provided with a composite tube and a welded joint system(s) at one or both ends of the composite tube for connecting the composite vehicle driveshaft to driveline components. Each welded joint system may include a sleeve that is bonded to an end of the composite tube and a joint assembly that is welded to the sleeve.

Abstract: A composite vehicle driveshaft is provided with a crash collapse system that allows for a controlled longitudinal collapse of the driveshaft by facilitating telescopic movement of various components with respect to each other during a crash event. The crash collapse system may include a collapsible joint with a sleeve that is concentrically bonded in an end of a composite tube and a stub end assembly that is spline-engaged and interference fit within the sleeve, such as by way of a press-fit and/or a thermal shrink-fit procedure. This relationship may rotationally lock and axially fix the stub end assembly to the sleeve unless, during a crash event, the composite vehicle driveshaft experiences a compression or push-type force that exceeds a minimum breakaway or collapse force value that longitudinally and telescopically collapses the composite vehicle driveshaft.

Abstract: The invention relates to the in vitro and in cellulo detection of the cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). Provided is a sensor molecule for fluorescence- or luminescence-based detection of a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analyte, in particular for detecting the concentrations of NAD+, NADP+ and/or the ratios of the concentrations of NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH, the sensor comprising (i) a binding protein (BP) for the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analyte, the BP being derived from sepiapterin reductase (SPR; EC 1.1.1.153) (ii) an SPR ligand (SPR-L) capable of intramolecular binding to said BP in the presence of the oxidized form of said analyte; and (iii) at least one fluorophore.

Abstract: A remote antenna system is provided. The remote antenna system comprises an antenna controller circuit and a remote antenna circuit coupled to the antenna controller circuit by a cable. The remote antenna system further comprises a bidirectional data signal path for carrying transmit and received data signals between the antenna controller circuit and the remote antenna circuit; and a control path for carrying control information between the antenna controller circuit and the remote antenna circuit. The control path is a bidirectional control path. The control path comprises a transmit circuit comprising an input to receive control information and configured to convert the control information into a series of pulses; and a receive circuit comprising a comparator circuit configure to receive the series of pulses and reconstruct them to the control signal.

Abstract: Multiple scheduler verticals can allocate tasks to resources that are shared by the scheduler verticals. Information regarding a state of each resource may be stored in memory accessible by the multiple scheduler verticals, and a processor updates the information. The scheduler verticals schedule events to be performed by any of the resources, and submit updates to reflect the scheduled events in the information. In the event of conflicting events, an update corresponding to only one of the conflicting events is committed. Moreover, disruptions may be preplanned and scheduled so as to minimize impact on scheduled tasks.
