Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a vehicle comprising a vehicle body comprising a rear bumper; and a rear end module coupled to the rear of the vehicle body, the rear end module comprising: a rear window, and a rear gate, wherein the rear window is configured to move from a closed position to an open position within a cavity of the rear gate, and the rear gate is configured to move from a closed position to an opening position within a cavity formed by the rear bumper.

Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables retraction of a vehicle midgate into a cavity. In one example, a vehicle includes a passenger cabin, a cargo bed, and a midgate module positioned between the passenger cabin and cargo bed. The midgate module includes a window, and a midgate body. The window is configured to move from a closed position to an open position within a cavity of the midgate body. The midgate body is configured to move from a closed position to an open position within a cavity formed by the passenger cabin.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed. Some embodiments may include a sun visor configured to be received in a closed position within a recess of a head liner of a vehicle, a fastening component at a first edge of a top edge of the sun visor, configured to fasten the sun visor to the body of the vehicle, and to define an axis around which the sun visor is configured to rotate, wherein the sun visor is configured to rotate from the closed position to an open position by rotating toward a user sitting in a seat within the vehicle. The sun visor may include a second edge at an opposite edge of the sun visor with respect to the first edge of the sun visor, wherein when in the closed position the second edge is configured to be disposed at a non-zero angle away from a horizontal plane.

Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a vehicle comprising a vehicle body; and a front storage module coupled to the front of the vehicle body, the front storage module comprising: a drawer; and a drawer actuator configured to move the drawer from a closed position within a cavity of the vehicle body to an open position at least partially extended from the front of the vehicle body.

Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a vehicle comprising a vehicle body comprising a rear bumper; and a rear end module coupled to the rear of the vehicle body, the rear end module comprising: a rear window, and a rear gate, wherein the rear window is configured to move from a closed position to an open position within a cavity of the rear gate, and the rear gate is configured to move from a closed position to an opening position within a cavity formed by the rear bumper.

Abstract: A pump assembly for a washing machine appliance is provided. The pump assembly includes a casing that receives a filter. The filter includes a labyrinth filter portion and a mesh filter portion. A drain pump is in fluid communication with the labyrinth filter portion, and a recirculation pump is in fluid communication with the mesh filter portion. Related washing machine appliances are also provided.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for treating diseases or disorders of the eye involving undesired neovascularization by administration of a complement inhibitory protein such as soluble complement receptor type I (sCR1). The present invention relates to the direct treatment of macular degeneration, particularly age-related macular degeneration (AMD), by administering a complement inhibitory protein intraocularly or systemically.

Abstract: The present invention relates to autoantigenic vaccine peptides comprising a universal helper T cell epitope portion linked to a B cell epitope portion from the N-terminus of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). The vaccine peptides are useful for eliciting an autoimmune response in a vaccinated individual, i.e., raising antibodies against the individual's endogenous CETP, in turn modulating circulating CETP activity, reducing LDL-cholesterol levels, and increasing HDL-cholesterol levels, which in turn is helpful to treat cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis.

Abstract: A processor-based emulation system for emulating an integrated circuit design, the processor-based emulation system including emulation circuitry and capture circuitry. The capture circuitry is operable to capture processing results from the emulation circuitry. The captured processing results can be used to identify functional errors in the integrated circuit design. Because the processor-based emulation system includes capture circuitry, emulation circuitry is not used for capturing the processing results.

Abstract: A spraying system having a plurality of separate pressurized fluid supply sources, a spray gun having a discharge nozzle and a plurality of fluid inlet ports corresponding to the number of supply sources and each communicating with the discharge nozzle, lines coupling each supply source to a respective one of the inlet ports, and a selectively operable discharge control associated with the spray gun for permitting passage of fluid through the discharge nozzle from any one of the plurality of supply sources, for enabling the simultaneous passage of fluids through the nozzle from a plurality of the supply sources, and for preventing the passage of fluids through the nozzle from all of the supply sources. The discharge control includes an individual spring biased valve assembly in each inlet port and a single control lever that is movable between an operative position for actuating selective of the valve assemblies and an inoperative position in which none of the valve assemblies are actuated.
