Abstract: A system for mounting liquid cooled electrical components includes a plastic chassis having a plurality of mounting sites. The plastic chassis defines at least one fluid circuit that extends through at least a portion of a length of the plastic chassis. The at least one fluid circuit includes an inlet configured to receive a cooling fluid from a fluid source, an outlet configured to return the cooling fluid to the fluid source, and at least one fluid channel extending between the inlet and the outlet. The system also includes a plurality of electrical components. Each of the plurality of electrical components is coupled with one of the plurality of mounting sites. Each of the plurality of mounting sites is in contact with the at least one fluid channel.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for laser-based target locating for measuring and displaying absolute coordinates (e.g., Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates) for a target. Techniques include determining absolute coordinates of a laser-based target locator, and using range and other measurements (e.g., compass heading, tilt, and/or the like) to determine the absolute coordinates of a target. The laser-based target locator can then display the absolute coordinates to a user. Sensors providing the other measurements may be calibrated by first determining the absolute coordinates of an optical tag, which may be optically communicated to the laser-based target locator.

Abstract: An electrical power substrate comprises a metallic body at least one surface of the body having a coating generated by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The coating includes a dense hard layer adjacent the said surface of the metallic body, and a porous outer layer. Electrically conductive elements are attached to the said coating.

Abstract: Among various methods, apparatuses, and media, recording media having executable instructions are provided for measuring skin surface texture. One such execution of instructions can process an obtained first measurement of light utilising a model of the interactions of light with chromophores present in skin to determine variations in returned light levels arising due to variations in levels of illumination. Execution of such instructions can utilise a difference between the obtained first, and an obtained second measurement of light returned by an illuminated area of the skin and determined variations in returned light levels arising due to variations in levels of illumination, to obtain a measurement of the surface texture of the illuminated area of the skin.

Abstract: Among various methods, apparatuses, and media, a number of methods are provided for measuring skin surface texture. One such method includes illuminating an area of skin with polarized light, and obtaining a measurement of light returned by the illuminated area of skin in a first and a second waveband. The method includes processing the measurement of light in the first waveband to determine an estimated expected level of light in the second waveband returned by the illuminated area of skin utilising a model of the interaction of light with at least one chromophore in the skin. A measurement of the surface texture of the imaged illuminated area of skin can be determined on the basis of a difference between the estimated and actual levels of light in said second waveband returned by the illuminated area of skin.

Abstract: A moveable load floor assembly for a vehicle comprising a top load-bearing surface and a concealed storage compartment located underneath the top load-bearing surface. The assembly is movable forward and rearward within the vehicle in order to position said assembly both inside and outside the vehicle, the assembly operating to cover and conceal a vehicle storage compartment.

Abstract: A carrier comprising a bucket insert and bucket wherein the bucket insert comprises a first member having a handle having an opening, connectors, a second member joined or connected to the first member by the connectors, and wherein the first member defines openings for receiving beverage containers, and the second member supports beverage containers. The bucket having an internal stop member so that the bucket insert comes to rest on the stop member when installed in the bucket. A storage space defined by the second member, the base of the bucket, and the surrounding bucket wall. Another embodiment of the insert comprises a blow molded handle, connectors, and first and second members, such that the insert can be snapped together.
