Abstract: An expansion joint is provided. The expansion joint is formed from a plurality of layers comprising a ring tie-in ply, a pair of arch rings at opposing transition points, two body plies, with inverted bias cut angles between about 48° to 60°, where about is typically plus or minus 1 degree. The arch geometry is such that the arch has an axial length C between the transition points and an inner surface arch circumference length of A between the transition points in a neutral state, such that the maximum compression distance for the expansion joint is the length C, the maximum elongation distance for the expansion joint is a length (A-C), and a maximum lateral deflection length for the expansion joint is a length Y.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process is programmed to process a source input, determine text enhancements, and present the text enhancements to apply to the sentences dictated from the source input. A text processor may use machine-learning models to process an audio input to generate sentences in a presentable format. An audio input can be processed by an automatic speech recognition model to generate electronic text. The electronic text may be used to generate sentence structures using a normalization model. A comprehension model may be used to identify instructions associated with the sentence structures and generate sentences based on the instructions and the sentence structures. An enhancement model may be used to identify enhancements to apply to the sentences. The enhancements may be presented alongside sentences generated by the comprehension model to provide the user an option to select either the enhancements or the sentences.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat back, a seat base, and a cargo assist system including a cargo net configured to move between a deployed configuration in which the cargo net engages with the seat back and a retracted configuration which the cargo net is stored on a roller supported by the seat base.

Abstract: A kitchen exhaust hood assembly comprises a front subassembly and a rear subassembly connected together. The connected subassemblies including a top portion and opposed side surfaces. A pair of side panels is connected to opposed sides of the front and rear subassemblies. A series of threaded studs welded to either the front or rear subassemblies or to the side panels project into and through openings formed through either the front or rear subassemblies or the side panels such that the side panels are secured to the front and rear subassemblies secured to the threaded studs.
