Abstract: A port for electric vehicles includes an off-loading zone for off-loading one or more passengers from an electric vehicle; a loading zone for loading one or more passengers onto the electric vehicle; and a charging zone for charging the electric vehicle while the electric vehicle is moving from the off-loading zone to the loading zone.

Abstract: An electrosurgical forceps comprises a first arm and a second arm connected by a pivot joint for moving the arms toward and away from one another. The two arms have a distal end and a proximal end. A first electrode and a second electrode are disposed at the distal ends of the first arm and the second arm, respectively. The electrosurgical forceps comprise a channel extending in the first arm to terminate at the distal end thereof in a suction conduit having a main opening and an axial opening. The second arm is configured to at least partially close the main opening of the suction conduit when the two arms are in a position moved toward one another.

Abstract: Authentication data for providing access to a resource to a user is received from a requester. The authentication data encapsulates data required by both a first authentication solution and a second authentication procedure both for providing access to a resource. The first and second authentication solutions can differ in authentication modality with the second authentication solution utilizing at least one machine learning model. Thereafter, using the received authentication data, both of the first and second authentication solutions are initiated. Authentication results are received from both of the first and second authentication solutions. The requester is provided with access to the resource if the both of the received authentication results indicate that authentication of the user was successful. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: The invention concerns a multifunctional electrosurgical device for treating biological tissues comprising a first member and a second member linked by a hinge allowing the members to be moved together and apart from each other; the first member comprising, at the front end of same, a first electrode for forming a first electrical contact with the tissues and the second member comprising, at the front end of same, a second electrode for forming a second electrical contact with the tissues. The first electrode has a concave cross-section, capable of partially housing the second electrode and of making the second electrode protrude from the first electrode when the two members are moved together. The device is remarkable in that the electrodes are configured to allow the formation of the first electrical contact on the outer surface of the first electrode and the formation of the second electrical contact on the protruding part of the second electrode.

Abstract: A system for varying an eyelet-to-eyelet distance of a vehicle. The system includes top and bottom mounting components defining the eyelet-to-eyelet distance, the top mounting component being operatively connected to a frame of the vehicle, and the bottom mounting component being operatively connected to a supporting component of the vehicle. The system also includes a telescopic component disposed about a housing of at least one of the top and bottom components, the telescopic component being displaceable with respect to said housing in response to a given input of a driver of the vehicle, for varying a distance between the top and mounting components, and thus varying the eyelet-to-eyelet distance of the vehicle. Also described is a vehicle including such a system, and a method of operating associated thereto.

Abstract: A mould carrier unit having a stretching rod (10) borne by a slide (13) mobile between an inactive position and an active position where its free end reaches the bottom of the mould (2); a nozzle (15) including a fixed body (16) extended by a bell (20), which is mobile from an inactive position where its free edge (25) is held substantially at the same level as the free end (11) of the stretching rod (10) to an active position where it is sealingly applied against the inlet surface (4) of the mould (2), to close the circuit of the blowing fluid. The bell (20) includes a bar (21) provided with a stop (23), which stop (23) cooperates with a support (24) formed on the slide (13) to permit the bell (20) to pass from its active position to the inactive position with the same law of motion as the stretching rod (10).

Abstract: A gripper (42) for gripping an object (14), intended for a transfer device includes two jaws (64, 66). Each of the jaws includes: a recess (92), and a first clamping portion (94) and a second locking portion (96). The first clamping portion (94) of each jaw (64, 66) of the gripper (42) includes a supporting surface and, when the gripper (42) is closed around an object (14) occupying a predetermined reference position, the supporting surface is intended to engage with a portion of a bearing surface of a radial collar of the object.

Also described is a vehicle including such a system, and a method of operating associated thereto.

Abstract: A process for controlling the quantity of ink applied to a material being printed includes the stages of: driving an inking roller and a printing roller at first inking and printing speeds, changing the printing speed to a second printing speed, changing the inking speed to a second inking speed on the basis of a speed correction index, measuring a first and a second quantity of ink, calculating the difference in the quantities of ink applied, and altering the speed correction parameter on the basis of the difference in the quantity of ink printed. The process may be applied to offset presses.
