Abstract: A breathable, polyolefinic, filled, stretched film. The film has a water vapor transmission rate of at least 500 g/m2 in 24 h according to ASTM D6701-01. The water column of the film is more than 300 mm according to EDANA WSP 80.6. The film has an imprint which is bonded to the film via an adhesive. The film has at least one layer in which the adhesive is integrated.

Abstract: A vehicle head unit comprising a memory configured to store an operating system, and one or more processors may be configured to perform various aspects of the techniques. The one or more processors may obtain an indication of one or more vehicle networks, and execute the operating system that presents a single application programming interface that provides function calls by which to configure the one or more vehicle networks within the operating system. The one or more processors may also configure, via the single application programming interface, one or more network interfaces for the one or more vehicle networks in the operating system by which one or more applications, executing in an application space presented by the operating system, interface with the one or more vehicle networks.

Abstract: A system of detecting loading and unloading of mobile containers such as grain carts utilizes two low pass filters to determine whether the contents of the container are changing by subtracting one filter signal from the other, and using the sign of the difference. Weighing performance is improved by utilizing accelerometers to compensate for measurement dynamics and non-level orientation. Failure and degradation of weight sensors is detected by testing sensor half bridges. Loading and unloading weights can be tied to specific vehicles by utilizing RF beacons.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method which utilizes the benefits of both advertising and bidirectional connections to allow a client/receiving device to receive data, e.g. sensor measurements, from the source/transmitting device during device discovery and connection, thereby minimizing the amount of time during which data, e.g. measurements, are unavailable. The disclosed embodiments may further allow for reduced power consumption by a source device by minimizing data transmission during advertising.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system, and a method for identifying machines involved in a transfer event. Flow rate data for material transferred between machines is acquired. The identity of the machines and the amount transferred are derived from the flow rate data by assigning machines that have similar flow rate data signals during a window of time in which the flow rate changes significantly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing power to and support bidirectional communications between one or more devices by injecting an alternating current into a primary conductive loop. The devices inductively couple to the loop to receive power, receive data, and transmit data. The coupling may occur at any position along the loop by passing one wire of the primary loop through the physical opening in a magnetic circuit.

Abstract: A cost-effective method for repairing reflective optical elements for EUV lithography. These optical elements (60) have a substrate (61) and a coating (62) that reflects at a working wavelength in the range between 5 nm and 20 nm and is damaged as a result of formation of hydrogen bubbles. The method includes: localizing a damaged area (63, 64, 65, 66) in the coating (62) and covering the damaged area (63, 64, 65, 66) with one or more materials having low hydrogen permeability by applying a cover element to the damaged area. The cover element is formed of a surface structure, a convex or concave surface, or a coating corresponding to the coating of the reflective optical element, or a combination thereof. The method is particularly suitable for collector mirrors (70) for EUV lithography. After the repair, the optical elements have cover elements (71, 72, 73).
