Abstract: In an aspect, a protective kit for a vehicle wheel is provided. The wheel includes a rim with a pressurized tire mounted thereon. An outboard flange of the rim and an outboard side of the tire are resiliently engaged. The kit includes a wheel cover member including a cover sheet with outer and inner edges, and a through-opening, and an elastic member connected to the cover sheet at the inner edge. The through-opening and elastic member can encircle the outboard flange of the rim. The kit further includes a plurality of driving cards, each having a selected rigidity and a selected thickness so as to be pushable against the wheel cover member in between the outboard side of the tire and the rim, so as to drive the wheel cover member radially inwardly between the outboard side of the tire and the rim.

Abstract: A weather stripping assembly is provided and includes a first backing member and a second backing member together defining a longitudinal axis, and first and second transverse directions. Each of the backing members includes a channel. The first backing member has a first alignment structure, and the second backing member has a second alignment structure. The first and second alignment structures are engageable with one another to align their channels with one another in the first and second transverse directions. A flexible seal is shaped to be held in and extend along the channels of both the first and second backing members when the at least two of the plurality of backing members are positioned with the first and second alignment structures in engagement with one another such that the channels of the first and second backing members are aligned with one another.

Abstract: In an aspect, an insulation kit for insulating an interior side of a window is provided. The window includes a window pane and a window frame having a window aperture in which the window pane is mounted, and at least one surface on the interior side of the window which extends around an exterior edge of the window aperture. The insulation kit includes a adhesive member and a sheet of insulating, biodegradable film sized to be mounted to a surface of the window frame by the adhesive member so as to cover the window aperture, and being heat shrinkable to form an airtight seal, insulating the window pane on the interior side of the window. The sheet of film is constructed to be mounted to the at least one surface of the window frame for a period of at least four months before degradation of the film occurs.

Abstract: An end gate includes a first panel. The end gate also has a first side and a second side. The end gate also includes an opening defined by the first panel between the first side and the second side. The end gate further includes a basket including a basket base and at least two ribs extending from the basket base and affixed to the first panel, wherein the basket base and at least two ribs define a volume accessible from the opening.

Abstract: A system includes a first transistor having a drain and source connected between a supply voltage and an output of a voltage regulator. A gate of the first transistor receives a first gate voltage. The system includes a second transistor having a drain and source connected between the supply voltage and the drain of the first transistor. The second transistor protects the first transistor from excessive voltage. The system includes a level shifter connected between a gate of the second transistor and a gate of the first transistor. The level shifter produces a level-shifted gate voltage for the second transistor that is based on the first gate voltage and that is proportional to an output load current output at the source of the first transistor.

Abstract: A radiator heater cover includes a cover formed of thermoplastic in a shape that fits over at least a portion of a radiator heater. The radiator heater cover defines a plurality of apertures in at least a portion of an outer surface of the cover that are dimensioned and spaced to provide desired convective heat transfer away from predetermined areas of the radiator heater.

Abstract: A liquid embolic delivery system is provided for trapping an injected liquid embolic composition to prevent the liquid embolic from solidifying or otherwise passing outside of an embolization area. The delivery system includes a catheter for delivery of a liquid embolic composition and a containment member positioned at a distal end of the catheter which is shaped to trap the liquid embolic composition delivered through the lumen of the catheter. The containment member is formed as a brush, nest, sponge, swab, flexible sack, or other shape into and around which the liquid embolic composition is injected. The liquid embolic composition is trapped or meshes with the containment member during solidification containing the liquid embolic and preventing the embolic composition from passing into the blood stream.

Abstract: An apparatus for storing data includes a storage medium, a head assembly disposed in relation to the storage medium and operable to read and write data on the storage medium, an analog high pass filter operable to filter an output from the head assembly to yield a filtered analog signal, wherein a high pass corner frequency of the analog high pass filter is below a servo data frequency in the data, an analog to digital converter operable to sample the filtered analog signal to yield digital samples, and a digital filter operable to perform pole-zero compensation for the analog high pass filter on the digital samples to yield filtered digital samples, with a zero at the high pass corner frequency of the analog high pass filter, and with a pole at a frequency higher than the high pass corner frequency of the analog high pass filter.

Abstract: A magnetic recording system includes an array of analog inputs operable to receive analog signals retrieved from a magnetic storage medium, a quadrature amplitude modulator operable to combine the analog signals to yield a quadrature amplitude modulated signal, a quadrature amplitude demodulator operable to yield a plurality of demodulated signals from the quadrature amplitude modulated signal corresponding to each channel of the array, and a joint equalizer operable to filter the plurality of demodulated signals to yield an equalized output.

Abstract: A number of variations may include a product including an extruded support beam constructed and arranged to be used as an inner support for a vehicle end gate.
