Abstract: A bushing includes a hollow metal insert and a rubber element receiving the hollow cylindrical metal insert therein. The rubber element includes an inner snubber including a first plurality of ridges, a web portion extending from the inner snubber and looping back/folded to an outer snubber disposed outward of the inner snubber. The outer snubber includes a second plurality of ridges interleaved with the first plurality of ridges. A can having an outer wall receives the rubber element therein. A threaded stud extends through the hollow metal insert and includes a first end configured to be engaged with a component to be supported.

Abstract: Particulate dispersions and composites are disclosed which comprise graphite and alloy particles comprising both active (e.g. Si) and inactive phases with regards to electrochemical activity with alkali or alkaline earth metals (e.g. lithium). The alloy particles are highly dispersed as primary particles with graphite particles and/or within the graphite particles' matrix in a novel manner and can be prepared using simple mechanofusion dry processing methods. In the composites prepared, the alloy particles are essentially embedded between layers in the graphite matrix. Improved performance can be obtained when these dispersions or composites are used in lithium insertion anodes for rechargeable lithium batteries, including high capacity, good cycling performance, and rate capability.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein are for seamless offload of a workload to data processing units (DPUs), where one or more processing unit receive a selection of a first one of the plurality of DPUs to perform the workload, and perform a background operation to select second ones of the plurality of DPUs based, at least in part, on capabilities associated with the first one of the plurality of DPUs being within a threshold, where the workload is to be performed in a load balancing arrangement of the first one and second ones of the plurality of DPUs.

Abstract: Implantable medical electrical leads having electrodes arranged such that a defibrillation coil electrode and a pace/sense electrode(s) are concurrently positioned substantially over the ventricle when implanted as described. The leads include an elongated lead body having a distal portion and a proximal end, a connector at the proximal end of the lead body, a defibrillation electrode located along the distal portion of the lead body, wherein the defibrillation electrode includes a first electrode segment and a second electrode segment proximal to the first electrode segment by a distance. The leads may include at least one pace/sense electrode, which in some instances, is located between the first defibrillation electrode segment and the second defibrillation electrode segment.

Abstract: Melamine-polyol dispersions comprising ethoxylated alcohols of specific structures are disclosed. Such dispersions maintain their stability under stationary conditions for at least 24 hours and are useful in the manufacturing of polyurethane foams. The resulted polyurethane foams display more evenly-distributed flame retardant properties.
