Abstract: An exemplary apparatus for distributing die-specific signals across die stacks includes a die stack and a plurality of signals arranged in a sequence across the die stack. The plurality of signals shift positions in the sequence between a first die and a second die included in the die stack. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system of head protection with an integrated air filtration mechanism for protecting the user from impact/concussion and ambient air pollution. Example embodiments comprise a rigid helmet shell covering the head of the user and a fabric air barrier around the user's neck, a battery powered filtered centrifugal fan contained inside an external detachable cowl apparatus adjoins to a helmet external top spoiler with a mounting system that is easily removable to meet impact attenuation standards The cowl apparatus directs clean filtered air into the duct system-a top spoiler funnel connected to an internal clean air duct and exits the visor air curtain providing continual clean laminar airflow between the user's face and the face shield. One or more sensors, calibrated to detect harmful particulates and a processor to automatically activate the system as a protective measure when harmful particulates are encountered and a sensor to detect when filter element needs replacement.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for recommending an educational course to a user, and may comprise receiving data records associated with availability of a plurality of educational courses at one or more institutions; receiving educational course data and educational course focus data associated with the user; receiving prior user data records comprising prior user educational course data and prior user educational course focus data; determining index scores for each of the plurality of educational courses based upon a similarity between the educational course data and prior user educational course data, and based upon a similarity between the educational course focus data and prior user educational course focus data; and providing a recommended educational course from the plurality of educational courses to the user based upon the determined index scores.

Abstract: A method comprises providing a molten aluminum alloy selected from the group consisting of 6000 series aluminum alloys comprises chromium (Cr) in a range of between 0.001 wt % to 0.05 wt %. The molten aluminum alloy is formed into a formed body having beta-AlFeSi particles. The formed body is solution heat treated at a temperature in a range of 1,025-1,050° F. to form a heat-treated body. The solution heat treating transforms substantially all of the beta-AlFeSi particles into alpha-AlFeSi particles such that the heat-treated body is substantially free of the beta-AlFeSi particles.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a shaft for athletic activities comprising, along at least a part of the length of the shaft: an internal wall (31) made of a first fiber-reinforced composite; and an external wall (30), fixed to the internal wall, and made of a second fiber-reinforced composite, wherein one or more cavities (32A, 32B, 32C) are present between the internal wall and the external wall.

Abstract: A part chain management system and method for generating chain sequences for parts in the aftermarket services industry is disclosed. Data on various parts and their substitutes is obtained from an engineering data management (EDM) team and translated into pair wise substitutional relationships represented in a known part substitutional relationship network. The system and method derive a part chain representation from known part substitutional relationships and inferences determined therefrom. The system and method can refine or filter the part chain representation based on rules such as business relationships. The system and method analyzes inferred part substitutional relationships for conflicts, which are either resolved automatically using conflict resolution rules or are referred for manual resolution. Following conflict resolution, the inferred links are finalized and used along with known links to generate a final part substitutional relationship network.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a roving or fabric for a fiber-reinforced composite, comprising:—natural or synthetic fibers or rovings (104); and—one or more cork threads (102).

Abstract: A method for producing a sliding board includes bonding one or more solid components with one or more enhanced structural sections to produce a core layer. A first enhanced structural section of the enhanced structural sections includes a corrugated medium. The core layer is extended between a first layer and a second layer. The first layer and/or the second layer are moved toward the core layer.
