Abstract: Methods and apparatus for pre-treated ion exchange resins and their use in heat transfer systems, alternative power sources such as fuel cells, battery systems, and assemblies comprising such power sources. The apparatus may include a cooling system and a pre-treated ion exchange resin. The pre-treated ion exchange resin may include a corrosion inhibitor and/or antioxidant treated ion exchange resin. The cooling system may include a heat transfer fluid. The heat transfer fluid may include water, a glycol-based freeze-point depressant, and mixtures thereof. The glycol-based freeze-point depressant may include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, and mixtures thereof. The cooling system may include an ion exchange unit. The ion exchange unit may include a pre-treated ion exchange resin, an untreated ion exchange resin, a basic anion resin, an acidic cation exchange resin, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Described is a vehicle door actuating apparatus (100). The vehicle door actuating apparatus (100) includes an actuating surface (106), a sensor (140), such as an inductive sensor or switch, and a mechanism for transmitting a compressive force applied by a user to the actuating surface (106) into a movement that is detectable by the sensor. The mechanism includes a first component (111) or a first component group on which the switch (140) is at least partially fixed and a transmission element (120) that is pivotally arranged on the first component (111) or the first component group. The transmission element (120) is pivotable between a home position in which the sensor (140) is not triggered by the transmission element (120) and an actuating position in which the sensor (140) is triggered by the transmission element (120). The transmission element (120) is movable relative to the actuating apparatus (102).

Abstract: A door lock operator (1) for a motor vehicle door (100) includes a first switch (10) and a first pivot arm (30) mounted so as to be pivotable about a first rotation axis (21.1) of a first articulation (21) along a first degree of freedom (31), wherein the first pivot arm (30) has a further degree of freedom (32) which is substantially perpendicular to the first rotation axis (21.1), and the first switch (10) is operable by way of movement of the first pivot arm (30) along a first direction of the further degree of freedom (32), wherein the first switch (10) is provided to be connected by way of a signal line (110) to an electric door lock (120) such that the electric door lock (120) is operable by the first switch (10).
