Abstract: A cargo container includes a plurality of panels, a first set of rales, a first pack, and a second pack. The plurality of panels defines a chamber that has an opening configured for loading and unloading of cargo in the chamber. The plurality of panels includes a first panel with the first set of rails connected to the first panel and disposed within the chamber. The first pack and the second pack are slidably received on the first set of rails and each include a phase-change material (PCM) disposed therein. The first pack and the second pack are interlocked with one another such that the first pack and the second pack slide in concert with one another.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for managing an object-based file system, and in particular for providing modifying access to an external application to a file system being managed in a user access restricted state, such as e.g. in the read only state. The apparatus including a network interface configured to communicably connect to one or more client computers via a communication network, and a file system management section, implemented at least in part by processor, configured to manage the object-based file system comprising plural file objects, each file object being associated with a respective file of the file system, the file system management section being configured to serve file access requests of a file serving protocol received via the interface. The file system management section is further configured to provide a block access object of the object-based file system being mountable as a block storage device.

Abstract: A vehicle axle includes first and second wheel hubs, first and second shafts, a hub lock, and a plug assembly. The first and second shafts extend into the first and second wheel hubs, respectively. The hub lock is configured to selectively couple the first shaft to the first wheel hub. The plug assembly is fixedly coupled to the second wheel hub and is fixedly coupled to the second shaft such that the second wheel hub, the second shaft, and the plug assembly rotate in unison.

Abstract: A mattress cover, comprising a top layer; a first side layer comprising a first air-impermeable portion, a first air-permeable portion, a first air-impermeable flap, and first affixing apparatus, wherein the first affixing apparatus is configured to reversibly affix the first air-impermeable flap over the first air-permeable portion; a second side layer comprising a second air-impermeable portion, a second air-permeable portion, a second air-impermeable flap, and second affixing apparatus, wherein the second affixing apparatus is configured to reversibly affix the second air-impermeable flap over the second air-permeable portion; a head layer; and a foot layer.

Abstract: A fabric closure for the open end of an air cargo container having a fabric door and a fastening system for connecting the opposed side edges of the fabric door to couplings attached to the container. The fastening system includes at least one fabric pocket, a protective strip attached to the outer surface of the pocket, and a connecting strap for being secured around a respective coupling. The connecting strap passes through the fabric pocket and is engaged with a hook and loop fastener portion on the protective strip.

Abstract: A thermally insulated panel includes a first skin, a second skin spaced apart from the first skin, and a core that is disposed between and bonded to the first skin and the second skin such that the core transfers loads between the first skin and the second skin. The core includes a porous filler material that has a vacuum drawn therein such that the core resists transfer of thermal energy through the panel. A cargo container including thermally insulated panels and a method of manufacturing the thermally insulated panels are also disclosed. In addition, a method of repairing a vacuum insulated panel is disclosed.

Abstract: A self-driving semi-truck can include tractor comprising a drive system, a first set of sensors mounted to the tractor, a fifth wheel, and cargo trailer comprising a kingpin coupled to the fifth wheel. The cargo trailer can include a Mansfield bar having a second set of sensors mounted thereto, where the second set of sensors have a rearward field of view from the trailer. The semi-truck can include an autonomous control system that receives sensor data from the first set of sensors and the second set of sensors, and analyzes the live sensor view to autonomously operate the drive system along a current route.

Abstract: An autonomous control system of a self-driving semi-truck can monitor a dynamic orientation of a cargo trailer in relation to a tractor of the semi-trailer truck. Based on the dynamic orientation of the cargo trailer, the control system can dynamically generate a coordinate transform between a first reference frame of a first set of sensors mounted to the tractor, and a second reference frame of a second set of sensors mounted to the cargo trailer, and execute the dynamically generated coordinate transform on sensor data from the second set of sensors to generate a fused sensor view of a surrounding environment of the self-driving semi-truck.

Abstract: A latch for securing a component to a track in a base of air cargo equipment, such as a pallet or the floor of a unit load device. The latch includes a rigid support configured to be attached at the bottom edge of the component. The latch also includes a handle. The handle rotates relative to the support between an open position and a closed position. The handle uses a rotationally tapered locking cam to secure the component to the track. In one embodiment, the component is a door, such as a fabric curtain.
