Abstract: A component for a vehicle interior may comprise a cover movable at a pivot joint relative to a base between a closed position and an open position through an intermediate position. The cover may comprise a composite hinge/pivot mechanism providing the pivot joint and configured so that the cover is movable from the closed position toward the intermediate position by a drive mechanism; the cover may be retained by a retaining mechanism and/or movable between the intermediate position and the open position by manual/hand action; the cover may be retained by a retaining mechanism and/or movable from the open position toward the closed position by manual/hand action. The drive mechanism may comprise a spring; the retaining mechanism may comprise a set of friction plates. The composite/hinge mechanism may comprise a clutch mechanism. The component may comprise a console providing a compartment and/or armrest.

Abstract: The robust dispatch method for flexibility resources of large-scale data center microgrid clusters characterizes overall scheduling capacity of multiple flexibility resources in each data center microgrid by establishing a virtual battery model, constructs an equivalent model of scheduling capacity of data center microgrid cluster based on constraint space superposition methods of Minkowski summation, and fully exploits flexibility of output power regulation of distributed generator sets and energy storage of the data center microgrid cluster as well as demand response characteristics of loads, so as to obtain regulation domain of aggregate power of the data center microgrid cluster.

Abstract: An online connection server is configured to more accurately predict connections for a viewing member of an online connection network. The online connection server may implement a machine-learning model that uses prior interactions by the viewing member to determine those connections that are likely to lead to more substantial interactions with the viewing member. The machine-learning model may be implemented using a reinforcement learning technique, such as a Deep Q network. The online connection server may further implement a state representation module that generates a state from a graph-based embedding of the viewing member profile, where the state is used to train the machine-learning model and determine an optimal candidate to recommend as a connection for the viewing member.

Abstract: A stable Crystalline Form II of non-solvate of Apremilast (Formula I), methods of making Form II, pharmaceutical compositions comprising Form II, and their uses are disclosed. Also discloses are mixed crystals comprising Form Hand Form B and methods of making the same. The crystalline forms are characterized using X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TG). As compared with Forms A, B, C, D, E, F, and G reported in prior art references, Apremilast Form II of the present invention is more stable to temperature, light, and humidity, and is more suitable for long term storage; the crystallization solvents are safe and can be easily removed; the Form II has a white or off white appearance, and can be directly used in preparation processing; the preparation methods are simple and easy to reproduce, and are suitable for industrialized production.

Abstract: An apparatus for managing power in an electric vehicle includes a control circuit and a first switch. The control circuit is configured to generate a first control signal based on a current of a battery operable for powering the electric vehicle, and to generate a second control signal based on a voltage of the battery. The first switch is configured to control connection of the battery to a power source and a load in the electric vehicle according to the first control signal. The first control signal controls a voltage at a terminal of the first switch to maintain the current of the battery to be substantially equal to a current setting, and the second control signal controls the battery to switch between a first state and a second state.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus for delivering power to electrical devices in an electrical vehicle. The power supply apparatus is connected to a single power source and capable of delivering multiple levels of output voltage current. The power supply apparatus has two power supplies and a controller. The controller enables a primary power supply and disables a secondary power supply if the primary power supply is connected to the external power source. The controller enables the secondary power supply and disables the primary power supply if the primary power supply is not connected to the external power source.
