Abstract: A battery holder includes a tubular sleeve defining a longitudinal inner passage having a longitudinal axis and dimensioned to retain a plurality of batteries in a single linear array. In one embodiment it is necessary to insert a spent battery at a first end of the sleeve in order to eject a new battery from a second end of the sleeve and the holder has a barrier extending across the second end of the sleeve, to prevent a battery being pushed out of the holder in the direction of the longitudinal axis, the barrier being arranged to retain the battery in a holding space at the second end of the sleeve, from where it may be pushed out of the holder through a first opening in the sleeve. The battery holder provides for a more secure containment of batteries.

Abstract: Power transmission systems with cooling mechanisms, and methods of operating the same, are described. A power transmission system can include multiple support tower assemblies. Each of the support tower assemblies includes a support tower. One or more of the support tower assemblies includes a termination (i.e., a connection point via which electrical current and/or coolant can enter the transmission line and/or exit the transmission line). The power transmission system also includes multiple conductor assemblies suspended above a surface of the earth. Each conductor assembly includes an electrical conductor and is positioned between, and mechanically supported by, a pair of the support towers. The power transmission system also includes a coolant supply system that delivers a coolant fluid, during operation of the power transmission system, to at least one of the terminations, for cooling of the conductor assemblies.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved process for forming a stabilised precursor that is suitable for the manufacture of carbon materials, such as carbon fibre. The process can convert a precursor comprising polyacrylonitrile into a stabilised precursor with greater efficiency. The invention also relates to a process for preparing a carbon fibre that utilises the stabilised precursor.

The compositions have a pH of from about 6.0 to about 8.0, a total protein content of at least about 6 g per 100 mL of the composition. The whey protein comprises or is provided by an ingredient that comprises heat-denaturable protein of which at least about 55% is present in a denatured state, and the non-whey protein comprises or consists of casein, or one or more non-dairy proteins, or casein and one or more non-dairy proteins.

Abstract: The invention is that of an encapsulated electronic component assembly that may be incorporated into a textile or yarn. Electronic components is encapsulated in two flexible substrates forming a pod for housing the electronic components. A flexible substrate may be a flexible polymer film capable of compression in response to a bending force, protecting the internal electronic components. The components in the substrate may then be incorporated into a yarn or woven into a textile. The electronic components may comprise an antenna, data processor, light emitter, accelerometer, or other components.

Abstract: Systems and methods for re-using content in a content management system. The content management system may have two or more repositories. A link document may be generated in a link repository for a source document in a source repository. The link document may be a copy of the source document, and synchronized to the source document in a number of different ways, dynamically or statically. When the source document is updated, the source repository may notify the link repository about the change, receive a pull request from the link repository for the change, and generate an updated link document. A static copy of the link document may be created to prevent further changes to the link document for business or compliance purposes.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions of epinephrine and its prodrugs are described and the compositions having enhanced active component permeation properties are described as being administered with specific residence times.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a dispensing plug includes a fluid path having an inlet and an outlet. The dispensing plug also includes a valve adjustably disposed relative to the fluid path. The valve includes a first valve portion positioned in the fluid path between the inlet and the outlet. The valve also includes a second valve portion oriented to cause a first force to be exerted on the first valve portion. The first force biases the first valve portion toward closure of the fluid path.

Abstract: Compounds are provided having the following structure: (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, tautomer or stereoisomer thereof, wherein R2a, R2b, R3a, R3b, R7, R8, R9, L1, L2, G1, G2, G3, b, and c are as defined herein. Use of the compounds as a component of lipid nanoparticle formulations for delivery of a therapeutic agent, compositions comprising the compounds and methods for their use and preparation are also provided.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) information is generated from two or more two-dimensional (2D) images. In the 2D images, one or more objects are identified, and either a corresponding portion of the 3D information representing the same object is identified and/or where the 3D information is corrected correspondingly. The correction may be the leaving out of 3D information representing the object or the correction of the 3D information based on knowledge of a shape of the object.

Abstract: A detection system and method using multiple detector arrays for single or multi-frequency imaging of an object or scene, with one or more channels arranged along perpendicular axes. A polarizing beam element can be arranged to pass or reflect radiation to first and second detector blocks of the detection system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for missing weld identification using machine learning techniques are described. In some examples, a part tracking system uses machine learning techniques to identify whether an operator has missed one or more welds when assembling a part. The part tracking system may additionally identify which specific welds were missed (e.g., the first weld, the third weld, the fifteenth weld, etc.). The part tracking system may be able to identify missing welds after a part has been completed, or in real-time, during assembly of the part. Identification of the particular weld(s) missed during the welding process can help an operator quickly assess and resolve any issues with the part being assembled, saving time and ensuring quality.

Abstract: Systems and methods for part tracking using machine learning techniques are described. In some examples a part tracking system analyzes feature characteristics related to one or more welds to identify, determine characteristics of, and/or label one or more parts repeatedly assembled by the welds. Identifying parts assembled from the welds may make it possible to do part based analytics (e.g., related to part quality, cost, production efficiency, etc.), as opposed to just weld based analytics, on past welding data. Additionally, identifying a part assembled from several welds results in an ordering of those several welds used to create the part, which can make it easier to compare/contrast similar welds across parts. Further, determining the characteristics of the parts can assist in configuring certain part tracking systems, thereby reducing the expertise, time, and personnel required.
