Abstract: Systems and methods can involve manufacturing medical balloons with wedge dissectors for forming serrations within vascular wall tissue for angioplasty, wherein the systems and methods include improved methods of forming the wedge dissectors and attaching the wedge dissectors to the medical balloon as well as a central shaft to increase the cross ability of the catheter to cross lesions. The design, methods of use, intended outcomes, and process to build this type of balloon is described herein.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for a technical solution to systematic bias inherent in existing non-price-based securities indexation systems. Existing non-price-based securities indexing systems and methods either equal weight securities or base index weights on one or more fundamental size factors. These methods cause a bias towards stocks exhibiting low price-based index weights relative to size factor(s). As a result, existing non-price-based indexation methods determine index weights that are the exact opposite of how humans determine index weights in price-based indices. Embodiments of the present invention further provide for an improved securities indexation system, by improving efficiency, processing times, and memory requirements, in the process of determining unbiased non-price-based index weights in non-price-based indexation of securities.

The battery pack cavity is configured to install a battery pack. The control board is disposed within the housing. The working part is disposed on the housing. The motor is disposed within the housing. The motor drives the working part to operate. The air duct is disposed within the housing. The air duct is configured for heat dissipation of the power tool apparatus. The fan is fixedly connected to an output shaft of the motor. The fan is configured to drive air to flow along the air duct when rotating. The housing has at least two air inlets and at least one first air outlet. The air duct is disposed between the air inlets and the first air outlet.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dump truck, comprising a hydraulic suspension system, a wireless communication system, capable of receiving information from a loading equipment, and a control unit, comprising processing circuitry coupled to the hydraulic suspension system and the wireless communication system, the processing circuitry being configured to receive, from the loading equipment, information about a weight of a load to be received by a container of the dump truck, and control the hydraulic suspension system to raise the container to a height as a function of the weight of the load to be received.

Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering assembly comprises a housing and a motor assembly having at least one rotor and at least one stator having a first motor winding and a second motor winding, the at least one stator being mounted to the housing. A steering shaft comprises a threaded portion configured to engage with a screw actuator and to move longitudinally with respect to the housing when the first motor winding and/or the second motor winding is actuated. A rotational sensor is mounted on the housing adjacent to one or more rotatable components. The rotational sensor is configured to generate a signal in dependence on detecting rotational movement of the rotatable components. A linear displacement sensor is mounted to an end of the steering shaft. The linear displacement sensor is configured to generate a signal in dependence of detecting linear movement of the steering shaft.

Abstract: An airflow arrangement for a gas turbine engine in which air can be selectively directed to and from a bypass channel of the engine and into a duct communicating air into a compressor of a gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A cage can be positioned around a medical balloon, such as an angioplasty balloon, to assist in a medical procedure. The cage can include a plurality of strips, each extending between a set of rings including first and second rings. As the balloon expands, the first and second rings move closer together and allow the strips to expand outward. The cage may have wedge dissectors on the strips.
