Abstract: The present invention relates to a part of a luggage system, in particular a shell of a hard-shell case or trolley, comprising a natural fiber material. The present invention further relates to a method for the manufacture and a method for the repair of such a part. A part of a luggage system is provided which comprises a fiber-reinforced material, wherein the fiber-reinforced material comprises a natural fiber material and a matrix material. The natural fiber material comprises at least one set of unidirectional fibers which are embedded in and/or impregnated with the matrix material.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of induced cell death via ferroptosis by nanoparticle ingestion. Moreover, the present disclosure describes the administration of high concentrations of ultrasmall nanoparticles at multiple times over the course of treatment in combination with a nutrient-depleted environment, thereby modulating cellular metabolic pathways to induce cell death by the mechanism ferroptosis. Ferroptosis involves iron, reactive oxygen species, and a synchronous mode of cell death execution.

Abstract: A system includes a router transceiver unit that is configured to be disposed on-board a vehicle system. The vehicle system may have at least a source vehicle and a separate linked vehicle that are communicatively linked with each other through a system network of the vehicle system. The router transceiver unit is configured to be communicatively coupled to a requesting operational component of the source vehicle and the system network. The router transceiver unit is also configured to receive a local data packet from the requesting operational component that is directed toward a target operational component of the linked vehicle. The router transceiver unit includes an encapsulation module that is configured to transform the local data packet into an in-tunnel data packet, wherein the local and in-tunnel data packets have different packet formats.

Abstract: A system includes a router transceiver unit that is configured to be disposed on-board a vehicle system. The vehicle system may have at least a source vehicle and a separate linked vehicle that are mechanically linked with each other to travel together along a route and that are communicatively linked with each other through a system network of the vehicle system. The router transceiver unit is configured to be communicatively coupled to a requesting operational component of the source vehicle and the system network. The router transceiver unit is also configured to receive a local data packet from the requesting operational component that is directed toward a target operational component of the linked vehicle. The router transceiver unit includes an encapsulation module that is configured to transform the local data packet into an in-tunnel data packet, where the local and in-tunnel data packets have different packet formats.

Abstract: A device for lubricating a machine comprises at least one pump or arranged in the oil circuit as well as a first oil tank for keeping a reserve of a first oil and a second oil tank for keeping a reserve of a second oil and temporarily storing an oil mixture. Oil lines are also provided between the oil tanks and the lubricating points. Furthermore, there is an oil sump for collecting the oil or oil mixture downstream of the lubricating points. Oil lines are provided between the oil sump and the two oil tanks. At least one first switching device is arranged in the oil lines, for opening or blocking the oil lines. Between the second oil tank and the first oil tank there is an oil line, which can be controlled by a second switching device. This device has the effect of improving the lubrication and extending the oil intervals.

Abstract: A word breaker utilizing a lexicon module and a processing module to identify word breaks in a stream of Asian (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, or Korean) language text. The lexicon module is a dictionary or database containing words native to the language of the input text. The processing module includes a plurality of analysis modules which operate on the input text. In particular, the processing module can include modules that analyze the input text using heuristic rules and statistical analysis to identify a first set of work breaks, thereby reducing the size of segments with undefined word breaks. The processing module also includes a database analysis module that identifies the remaining undefined word breaks in those smaller segments that have undergone heuristic or statistical analysis.

Abstract: In a piston/liner arrangement for a reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine, wherein a piston with a skirt is axially movable in the liner, at least one of the piston skirt and the liner includes sections with an open-pore surface structure in which a lubricant with a high affinity to the material having the open-pore surfaces structure is disposed so as to form a lifetime lubrication arrangement.

Abstract: This invention improves information retrieval and the precision of language processing by providing an apparatus and method for organizing, utilizing, analyzing, and generating morphological data. The apparatus and method involve locating a stored lexical expression representative of a candidate word found in a stream of natural language text, identifying a paradigm for the candidate word based upon the stored lexical expression, and applying transforms contained within the identified paradigm to the candidate word.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the identification of noun phrases in a stream of natural language text receives an input stream of text, identifies tokens within the stream of text, and processes the tokens to identify noun phrases. The system processes the tokens by annotating the tokens with tags identifying characteristics of the tokens and by contextually analyzing each token and its associated characteristics. During processing, the system can also disambiguate individual token characteristics and identify agreement between tokens.
