Abstract: A vehicle including a rear closure, a detection unit and a notification unit is disclosed. The rear closure may move between a closed state and an open state. The detection unit may detect vehicle access device position in proximity to the vehicle. The notification unit may output visual and/or audible notifications. The vehicle may further include a processor that may determine that the vehicle access device has entered a predefined zone in proximity to a vehicle rear portion based on inputs from the detection unit. The processor may activate the notification unit to output notifications for a predefined time duration responsive to determining that the vehicle access device has entered the predefined zone. The processor may further determine a time duration the vehicle access device stays in the predefined zone. The processor may cause the rear closure to open when the time duration is greater than the predefined time duration.

Abstract: Mounting systems are described for mounting a vehicle component to an interior surface of a vehicle body panel. An exemplary mounting system may include a locking mount that can be secured to the interior surface of the vehicle body panel by a structural patch. The vehicle component may be an exciter that can be secured to the locking mount to achieve positive contact relative to the vehicle body panel and achieve desired acoustic requirements for broadcasting audio signals.

Abstract: A quadrax contact assembly includes an isolator having a longitudinal axis and defining four slots extending along the longitudinal axis and circumferentially spaced apart about the longitudinal axis, the four slots being accessible via radial openings in the isolator. The quadrax contact assembly further includes four contacts each configured to be received by a respective slot of the four slots by pressing each of the four contacts into the respective slot in a radial direction.

Abstract: A polygon simplification computer system for performing polygon simplification within a web application pipeline has a memory device including a three-dimensional data model (3D data model), a Node.js environment, and a polygon simplification module for performing one or more polygon simplification operations on the 3D data model. The polygon simplification module has a binding component including a set of bindings that convert JavaScript into C++ source code, and a mesh simplification module comprising a C++ compiled polygon simplification framework. The polygon simplification module receives a request for the 3D data model, converts the request into a set of C++ instructions, transmits the instructions to the mesh simplification module, receives a 3D simplified data model, and transmits the 3D simplified data model to a client computing device.

Abstract: Antibacterial systems with naturally derived ingredients and compositions comprising them are described. The systems have a first ingredient comprising thymol and a second natural ingredient that includes p-anisic acid, aloe, gluconolactone, tetrahydrocurcumin, 4-hydroxyacetophenone or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to GalNAc moieties comprising at least one GalNAc monomer. The disclosure also relates to GalNAc-oligonucleotide conjugates comprising GalNAc moieties and oligonucleotides, e.g., saRNAs or siRNAs useful in regulating the expression of a target gene. Methods of using the GalNAc-oligonucleotide conjugates are also provided.

Abstract: An antimicrobial composition with a synergistic combination of ingredients is described. Cosmetic compositions containing the antimicrobial composition with improved preservation properties are also described. The cosmetic compositions are effective in treating the skin to cleanse, moisturize and to reduce the effects of aging and photo damage and treat other skin conditions after being topically applied.

Abstract: A polygon simplification computer system for performing polygon simplification within a web application pipeline has a memory device including a three-dimensional data model (3D data model), a Node.js environment, and a polygon simplification module for performing one or more polygon simplification operations on the 3D data model. The polygon simplification module has a binding component including a set of bindings that convert JavaScript into C++ source code, and a mesh simplification module comprising a C++ compiled polygon simplification framework. The polygon simplification module receives a request for the 3D data model, converts the request into a set of C++ instructions, transmits the instructions to the mesh simplification module, receives a 3D simplified data model, and transmits the 3D simplified data model to a client computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods quickly regulate hydraulic fluid pressure to meet hydraulic fluid demands in subsea equipment over long umbilicals. A hydraulic power unit includes a reservoir and a pump for pumping hydraulic fluid from the reservoir into a fluid supply line to subsea equipment. A supply-side module located downstream of the hydraulic power unit includes a circulation pump in communication with the supply line for circulating hydraulic fluid in a circuit including the fluid supply line and a fluid return line. A demand-side module is located upstream of the subsea equipment and includes a diverter valve for opening or closing the circuit. Adjustments can be made to the circulation pump and the diverter valve such that hydraulic fluid is circulated through the circuit. The pressure of the supply-side module is greater and does not exceed twice than the pressure of the demand-side module.

Abstract: A control system requires an affirmative action from an operator to disengage. This precludes a situation where an automatic drive system disengagement sequence is completed while the operator is either incapacitated or unavailable. Requiring an affirmative action by the operator ensures a machine's continued and efficient operation.

Abstract: The invention discloses an apparatus and method to uniformly disperse ozone gas bubbles into liquid phase water for the treatment thereof. The apparatus consists of a water inlet section connected with a section with structured packing or monolith having parallel flow channels. A portion of the influent water is withdrawn from the main water stream as a side stream, pressurized by a pump, mixed with ozone-containing gas, and then injected back into the main water flow. The side stream may be divided into multiple streams either before or after mixing with the ozone-containing gas, and then injected into the main flow section upstream of the packed section. In alternate embodiments, the ozone-containing gas can be injected directly through the gas diffusers just upstream of the packed section in order to achieve uniform concentration of gas and liquid in the fluid entering the monolith.

Abstract: A preservative system and a personal care composition containing that system is provided which includes the preservative combination of a C10-C24 acyl glycinate salt and a hydroxyethyl sulfonate salt. This preservative system is effective against gram negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
