Abstract: A system performs a method of manufacturing a vehicle. The system includes a camera, a transport device, and a processor. The camera obtains an image of a part that is to be assembled to the vehicle. The transport device orients the part with respect to a surface and drops the part onto the surface. The processor creates a first model representing the part and a second model representing the surface from the image, places the first model at a selected drop orientation and a selected drop height with respect to the second model, simulates a drop of the first model onto the second model, and determines a change in a dimension of the first model resulting from the simulated drop. The part is dropped onto the surface at the selected drop orientation and the selected drop height when the change in the dimension of the first model meets a criterion.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an occlusive dressing container having a pouch; a central divider included in the interior of the pouch for defining a first and a second package cavity within the pouch wherein each package cavity contains an occlusive dressing; a first package seal attached to the pouch further defining the first package cavity; a first outer cover removably attached to the pouch and attached to the first package seal; and, whereas when the first outer cover is removed from the pouch, a portion of the first package seal is removed with the first outer cover creating a first opening in the pouch and providing access to the interior of the first package cavity thereby allowing the occlusive seal to be removed from the packaging cavity.

Abstract: A combination comprising a bed of a particulate copper-containing catalyst and, a guard bed of a particulate composition containing a) lead and/or at least one lead compound that reacts with hydrogen chloride and b) a support therefor. The lead compound is preferably lead nitrate. The combination is of particular utility for the low temperature shift reaction wherein carbon monoxide is reacted with steam to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

Abstract: A curable composition which contains an alkenyl group containing polyorganosiloxane, an organosilicon compound having two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst, and a glass frit, which is suitable, upon cure, for use as a firewall sealant.

Abstract: A chromium-containing fluorination catalyst which comprises an activity-promoting amount of zinc or a compound of zinc, a process for increasing the activity of a chromium-containing fluorination catalyst by introducing an activity promoting amount of zinc or a compound of zinc to the catalyst and a process for the production of fluorinated hydrocarbons, in particular 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane which comprises reacting a hydrocarbon or a halogenated hydrocarbon, in particular 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane with hydrogen fluoride in the vapour phase in the presence of the zinc-promoted chromium-containing catalyst.

Abstract: An electronic spreadsheet system of the present invention includes a Formula Composer having a preferred interface and methods for assisting a user with composing spreadsheet formulas. The Composer provides the user with simultaneous formula outline and subexpression (text) views of a given formula. Using the formula outline view, the user may isolate a particular portion (subexpression) of a formula for editing. The Formula Composer also provides a Formula Expert, which is displayed by the system upon the user selecting a spreadsheet function in a formula being edited. In addition to providing specific information about the selected spreadsheet function, the Formula Expert provides input fields which are specific for the arguments of the selected function. Moreover, the Formula Expert includes mode expressions or "templates" for assisting users in inputting correct argument information. Using pattern matching technique, the system may employ the templates for eliminating common user input mistakes.

Abstract: A method of folding an airbag is provided for limiting allowable travel of the first portion of the airbag face panel as the airbag is deployed and for causing complete filling of the airbag prior to engagement with a vehicle occupant. The airbag includes a first end adapted to envelop an inflator. The airbag is laid substantially flat, with the first portion of the airbag face panel closely adjacent the first end. The remainder of the airbag is subsequently collapsed over the first portion while the first portion remains closely adjacent the first end.
