Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for charging an electric vehicle based on the inferred dwell time of a user of the electric vehicle. This may be accomplished by an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) receiving a request from a user to charge an electric vehicle. The EVCS can use the request to identify a profile associated with the user, wherein the profile comprises user information related to the user. The EVCS then estimates a dwell time for the user using the user information. The EVCS can use the dwell time to estimate a total charge time for the electric vehicle. The EVCS then charges the electric vehicle based on the estimated charge time.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of forming a laminated glass ribbon may include flowing a molten glass core composition and a molten glass cladding composition in a vertically downward direction. The molten glass core composition may be contacted with the molten glass cladding composition to form the laminated glass ribbon comprising a glass core layer formed from the molten glass core composition and a glass cladding layer formed from the molten glass cladding composition. Core beads located proximate an edge of the glass core layer and clad beads located proximate an edge of the glass cladding layer may be compressed while the glass core layer and the glass cladding layers have viscosities greater than or equal to the viscosity at their softening points as the laminated glass ribbon is drawn in the vertically downward direction.

Abstract: A parking brake actuator includes a support bracket, a lever supported by the support bracket and pivotable between a brake-released position and a brake-applied position, a push-to-release lock mechanism operably connecting the lever and the support bracket to selectively lock the lever in the brake-applied position, and a self adjust mechanism having a cable connection and a sector member pivotable relative to the lever, a spring member resiliently biasing the cable connection in one direction, and a pawl secured to the lever and movable between a first position wherein the pawl engages the sector member to prevent pivoting motion of the cable connection relative to the lever and a second position wherein the pawl releases the sector member. The pawl is resiliently biased to the first position and the pawl engages an abutment when the lever is in the brake-released position to move the pawl to the second position.

Abstract: A method for identifying a data processing path in a distributed computing network is disclosed. Initially, a call from a local device to a remote device is initiated. A path identifier is then generated which uniquely identifies the flow of data from the local device to the remote device. The generated path identifier is then associated with the call and data associated with the initiated call is stored. The generated path identifier is then stored and associated with the data associated with the initiated call. Additionally, the generated path identifier can also be used to transmit additional data, not essential to the call, along the identified path.
