Abstract: A stretching device has a housing, a first clamping member attached to a first portion of the housing, a second clamping member attached to a second portion of the housing, a first insert mounted to the first clamping member, and a second insert mounted to the second clamping member. The first insert and the second insert protect workpieces to be clamped and gripped therebetween. The inserts are releasably mounted to gripping surfaces of the clamping members.

Abstract: System and method are disclosed for producing a suitability score for installation of an energy management system on a building rooftop. In one embodiment, insolation data is obtained for geographic regions, including geographic region where building rooftop is located. A plurality of solar potential data sets for each geographic region are provided to obtain an insolation impact value for each of the solar potential data sets. The insolation impact value is calculated for each solar potential data set. The impact of the physical characteristics of the building rooftop on insolation is calculated. A threshold score above which the building rooftop is suitable for installation of the energy management system is assigned.

Abstract: A vehicle locator system may include a sensor in communication with a lighting system, a wireless transceiver, an illumination assembly received within a housing, and a controller. The controller may be configured to command the illumination assembly to emit light according to a first pattern, responsive to a communication from a remote device received through the wireless transceiver. The communication may include a request to operate the illumination assembly in a vehicle locator mode, while a vehicle ignition is off.

Abstract: A heat shrink apparatus for heat shrinking a shrink film to a bladder. The heat shrink apparatus may include a support structure, a bladder support system, and a heat chamber. The bladder support system for supporting the bladder thereon may have two spaced apart parallel rows of a plurality of resilient members pivotally and/or resiliently attached to the support structure. The heat chamber may be hollow with opposing end openings and may have one or more heating elements therein. The heat chamber may translate over the shrink film and the bladder along the support structure between the two spaced apart parallel rows, shrinking the shrink film to the bladder. As the heat chamber translates, it may contact ends of the resilient members, thereby pivoting or deflecting the resilient members from a first position to a second position such that the heat chamber can pass between the two parallel rows.

Abstract: A transactive energy system design is linked to an energy automation control process. A design process provides a predictive analytics engine at its core. This design process includes three models: application modeling, health/asset modeling, and revenue modeling. An energy storage system health model is the combination of the application model with storage life characteristic data that comprises electrical efficiency, effective capacity, and capacity fade as a function of temperature, voltage range, and calendar life. These models enable a predictive analytics engine to inform energy automation control software how to operate. The inventive concept involves utilization of various core data communication methods. The predictive analysis uses the same algorithms and processes as those used in the actual eACS and energy operating system. The continuity from analytics to operations improves the accuracy of the economic models, which reduces risk to financial planning and system financing.

Abstract: A roller leveler assembly has a first cassette having a first set of work rolls of a first diameter and work roll spacing and a second cassette having a second set of work rolls of a second diameter and work roll spacing. A drive mechanism selectively drives one of the first cassette of the first set of rolls and the second cassette of the second set of rolls. The drive mechanism has a first set of upper drive shafts and a second set of lower drive shafts and a drive shaft support assembly. The drive shaft support assembly has a first support shaft for supporting the first set of upper drive shafts and a second support shaft for supporting the second set of lower drive shafts.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and methods for using these compounds in the treatment of HCV infection.

Abstract: A vehicle frame includes an outside rail section having an upper flange, a lower flange, and an inward facing cavity between the upper and lower flanges. An inside rail section is coupled along the upper and lower flanges of the outside rail section and has an outward facing cavity that aligns with the inward facing cavity to enclose an interior volume. A pair of hydroform tubes extending vertically through apertures at spaced longitudinal locations in the upper flange and engage a bottom surface of the inward cavity to define a pillar for supporting a vehicle roof.
