Abstract: A system for measuring a heat response of a battery cell includes a cell chamber configured to receive the battery cell therein. The cell chamber is configured to trigger a battery cell into a thermal runaway event while in the cell chamber, which causes the battery cell to eject an electrode winding, particles, and gas. The system also includes an ejecta bore muffler configured to receive the electrode winding, the particles, and the gas. The system also includes an ejecta basket configured to be positioned at least partially within the ejecta bore muffler. The ejecta basket is configured to capture the electrode winding while allowing at least a portion of the particles, the gas, or both to pass therethrough. The system also includes a gas collection system configured to receive at least a portion of the gas that passes through the ejecta basket.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of Formula (I): or stereoisomers, tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or prodrugs thereof, wherein all the variables are as defined herein. These compounds are selective LPA receptor inhibitors.

Abstract: Provided are a kiosk and method for anonymously relaying content from a public kiosk to a portable electronic device. The method includes receiving user input corresponding to content requested by a user, and accessing information stored by a non-transitory computer-readable medium. With at least one computer processor, an output comprising a computer-readable code encoding the content requested by the user is generated, and displayed using a computer display device operatively connected to the at least one computer processor. The computer-readable code, as a result of being captured by an optical imaging device provided to the portable electronic device, is interpreted to cause the portable electronic device to execute computer-executable instructions stored by the portable electronic device to perform an operation corresponding to the computer-readable code.

Abstract: A system for locking and unlocking containers to transport modes and other containers comprises an actuating unit in an upper corner fitting of a container, a mechanical connecting device connected to the actuating unit, and guides to route the connecting device from the actuating unit to a rotatable locking leg housed in a lower corner fitting of the container. The twistlock of a lifting spreader engages the upper corner fitting of a container, urging the actuating unit. The connecting device is in turn urged, thereby causing the locking leg to rotate.

The locking system, and apparatus to unlock a container twistlock, comprises in addition to an actuating unit, a locking mechanism in a lower corner fitting of the container, and a vertical coupler connecting the actuating unit with the locking mechanism. A torsional force applied to rotate the actuating unit is converted to a tension force by the actuating unit to move the vertical coupler, thus resulting in the rotating and unlocking of the locking mechanism.

Abstract: A universal container locking system for cargo containers. The system includes an actuating mechanism located in the top corner casting of the cargo container, and a locking mechanism located in the bottom corner fitting of the cargo container. The actuating mechanism is coupled to the locking mechanism such that rotation of a pick cone positioned in the top corner fitting from its initial insertion position to an orientation approximately 45° does not cause rotation of the locking cone extending from the bottom corner fitting while subsequent rotation of the pick cone from an orientation of approximately 45° to an orientation of approximately 90° causes the locking cone extending from the bottom corner fitting to rotate approximately 45° from the locked position to the unlocked positions.

Abstract: A system for gathering cloth, intended for but not limited to sails. A web of vein lines (11) are connected a piece of flexible material in strategic positions depending on the size and cut of the cloth. These vein lines (11) are then lead through the belly button device (18) and joined to the stem line (12). The stem line can be lead to a position where a person will pull it in whenever they want the cloth to be gathered. To gather the cloth the person will pull on the stem line (12) which will pull the vein lines (11) through the belly button device (18) which in turn will pull the cloth connected to the ends of the vein lines (11) towards the belly button device (18). This collects the cloth into a smaller, central location and assists the individual in gathering the material.

Abstract: A method and apparatus used in the uniform drying of a continuous web, such as a sheet of paper or paperboard. A newly formed web of paper of wet cellulosic fibers and the necessary additives is initially directed through a press section where excessive water is squeezed from the web to reduce its moisture content to about 50-80 percent, by weight, for subsequent passage through a dryer section wherein the moisture content is further reduced to anywhere between 3 and 15 percent, depending on the quality of the paper being processed. The moisture content profile of the nearly dry web of paper is constantly monitored adjacent the discharge end of the dryer section for dry streaks which occasionally occur in the web. Moisture is added accordingly to the web when the web is relatively wet and has a moisture content of at least 25 percent to eliminate further dry streaks and provides a paper product which has a uniform moisture content.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for controlling the caliper of a web, such as a continuous paper sheet issuing from a nip of a plural-roll device, such as a calender. One or more rolls of the device is subjected to a multiplicity of air jets issuing substantially at constant flow rates but at temperatures which may vary as desired from nozzles spaced lengthwise of the roll.
