Abstract: A self-drilling screw (10) having a head (20), a shaft (30) at least partially wearing a thread (35) and a drill point (40). The base material of the screw (10) including the drill point (40) is integrally manufactured from an austenitic 300 series steel with a surface hardness (uncoated) of 400-600 HV 0.3. The surface of the screw has a top coating of Zn—Ni with a Ni-content between 12-15% deposited on the austenitic base material. This self-drilling screw (10) is manufactured from a blank of raw austenite 300 series steel which is initially squeezed by cold forming to reduce its diameter in a first operation and, in following cold forming operations the head, the drill point and a thread are formed.

Abstract: A battery assembly includes a power module, a receptacle connector, a driving switch and a movable stop arm. The power module includes a battery control unit and a cell electrically connected to the battery control unit. The receptacle connector is disposed at the power module and electrically connected to the cell via the battery control unit. The receptacle connector includes an insertion opening. The driving switch is disposed corresponding to the receptacle connector and electrically connected to the battery control unit. A default setting of the driving switch is “switched off”. One end of the movable stop arm is outside of the insertion opening and blocks the same. The movable stop arm is movable toward the driving switch to touch and switch on the same.

Abstract: Techniques related to a latency profiling mechanism are described. A method may monitor at least one attribute associated with each of one or more frames of images by tracking a respective identifier of each of the one or more frames as each of the one or more frames is processed through a first pipeline of one or more processing stages of an image processing device. The method may also obtain one or more indications related to one or more performance indices in the first pipeline of one or more processing stages based at least in part on the monitoring of the at least one attribute.

Abstract: A secure real-time data replication system includes a key management server that provides keys to hosts that store encrypted data. Data to be written in one host is encrypted using a key received from the key management server; the encrypted data is stored in the host. A copy of the data is provided to another host for real-time data replication. In the other host, the copy of the data is encrypted using another key received from the key management server; the encrypted copy of the data is stored in the other host. Keys are provided by the key management server based on policy rules governing the keys.
