Abstract: The invention concerns a process for producing a sheet or a plate or a blank, comprising the following successive steps: (a) casting a 6xxx alloy comprising, in wt. %: Si: 1.25-1.45; Fe: ?0.30; Cu: ?0.15; Mn: 0.01-0.15; Mg: 0.25-0.40; Cr: 0.03; Ni: ?0.04; Zn: <0.15; Ti: 0.01-0.10; other elements: <0.05 each and <0.15 in total; rest aluminium; (b) heat treating; (c) hot rolling; (d) cold rolling; (e) optionally inter-annealing between hot rolling and cold rolling and/or during cold rolling and/or after cold rolling; (f) solution heat treating; (g) quenching; (h) optionally pre-aging; (i) shearing without any milling step.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes systems and methods for a vehicle wash system. The disclosed technology includes a vehicle wash system comprising a tire shine assembly. The tire shine assembly can be configured to transition between an extended position and a retracted position. The vehicle wash system can further include a proximity sensor configured to detect a presence of a vehicle. The vehicle wash system can be configured to, in response to the proximity sensor detecting the presence of the vehicle, cause the tire shine assembly to transition to the extended position. In response to the proximity sensor not detecting the presence of the vehicle, the vehicle wash system can cause the tire shine assembly to transition to the retracted position.

Abstract: A system and method for instantiating an operating system within the context of a content management and delivery system. The operating system to be instantiated may be presented in the form of an object configured to be downloaded to a workspace in a content management and delivery application and that is created by a content manager. In the workspace at various users' local devices, a content manager may choose to allow specific objects to be cached for offline access at the various users' devices. One such object may be an operating system in and of itself. When such an operating system is instantiated within the content management and delivery system, the operating system may supersede the existing operating system thereby allowing a user of a device access to only other content and data (other objects) as so deemed permissible by a content manager. The operating system may include application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling web browsing, file management, and other operating system aspects.

Abstract: A system and method for content delivery and presentation at remote devices. The content may be presented in the form of objects in a workspace of a folio created by one or more content managers. The content manager may then allow authorized users to access or download the workspace through various user devices having browser-based web services or applications executing thereon. Further, the content manager may assign conditional operating parameters to each object or set of objects such that only specific users have access or an ability to download the object or the application for interacting with the object. Further yet, the content manager may specify relationships between objects such that users may only use or download the objects in a specific order. The content manager may have several other levels of control of the sets of objects and the objects in the workspace.

Abstract: A system and method for cycling cached content stored in a local memory. The content may be presented in the form of objects in a workspace created by a content manager. The content manager may further configure each object on the folio to have conditional operating parameters. A content manager may choose to allow specific objects to be cached for offline access or downloaded at specific times if a conditional operating parameter is met. For example, training materials may be used by users in a serial manner such that a first object may be cached at a first time. Then when the user has completed the use of the object (e.g., watched a first presentation), the object may be removed from memory and a second object may be cached. In this manner, objects may be cycled in cache memory according to a specific plan so as to more efficiently use memory space on a content user computer.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to protein signalling. In particular, compounds that inhibit the Wnt protein signalling pathway are disclosed. Such compounds may be used in the treatment of Wnt protein signalling-related diseases and conditions such as cancer, degenerative diseases, type II diabetes and osteopetrosis.

Abstract: Footwear and its method of manufacture are provided. The footwear includes an upper having a vamp lining with a toe part disposed along an inner surface of the upper is provided. A relatively rigid insole forepart member is attached to a sock liner, the length of the insole forepart being less than the length of the sock liner. The toe part of the vamp lining is then stitched to a peripheral edge of the insole forepart, the vamp lining and insole forepart defining a cavity for receiving a portion of a wearer's foot. A steel toe is then positioned substantially around the toe part of the vamp lining.
