The illumination source is in communication with the supplemental restraint system and is configured to selectively actuate in response to the collision indicator. Vehicles are also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for an improved handle configuration are disclosed. The apparatus and method include an upper handle secured to a shaft that has a longitudinal axis and a lower handle secured to the shaft opposite the upper handle at a location spaced from the upper handle along the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The upper handle and lower handles each have grip portion that extends at an angle substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and that is spaced apart from the shaft in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The upper handle and lower handle are secured to the shaft at an end of the shaft opposite a device configured to contact an object when the shaft is swung.

Abstract: An image based occupant classification system includes an image sensor and an image processor. The image sensor is configured to capture vehicular occupant information. The image processor is in communication with the image sensor. The image processor is configured to perform first sampling operations upon the vehicular occupant information to determine occupant classification. The image processor is further configured to perform second sampling operations upon the vehicular occupant information to determine a seat belt status. Each of the first sampling operations is conducted at a separate time from each of the second sampling operations. Vehicles are also provided.

Abstract: A method for crash testing a motor vehicle is disclosed. The method provides a crash test routine where an inflatable restraint is deployed using a single deployment pattern throughout at least one government regulation zone. This helps to prevent overlap of a transition zone and can help make the deployment of the inflatable restraint more predictable. This can increase occupant safety and simply testing.

Abstract: An abrading dental floss is characterized by dental floss formed of a circular fiber or fibrous material having a dental abrasive on the exterior portion thereof suitable for polishing, sanding and/or finishing (abrading) dental restorative material particularly dental composite resin. The dental abrading material is impregnated into or provided onto the dental floss. In one form, the dental abrading floss has an abrading section situated between lengths of non-abrading dental floss. The abrading section may be formed of an alternating pattern of non-abrasive portions and abrasive portions along a length of the floss. The abrasive portions may be of a single grit or texture of the dental abrasive or may be of different grits of the dental abrasive. In another form, the dental abrading floss has a single grit of a dental abrasive along and about its entire length. The dental abrasive may be of a single grit or different grits of the dental abrasive along its length.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for composing and testing grammar rules that are configured to provide feedback on violations of target grammar guidelines in the text of documents. Tests may be performed to determine whether a new grammar rule produces false positives, is redundant or conflicts with other rules, or is expensive to apply to a document. A user may test the rule, in isolation or with other rules, on a batch of documents. A display of a summary of feedback that is generated in the batch of documents by the rules is provided. The user may also apply a rule to documents submitted for feedback as a hidden rule. Any violations of a hidden rule are recorded, but feedback on the violations is not provided in submitted documents. Furthermore, a user may indicate a level for a rule, which may control the set of documents to which the rule is applied.

Abstract: A process for treating a milled product to reduce microbial activity at a high confidence level is disclosed. A sterile ready to eat milled product at a high confidence of sterility is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a system and method for tracking links displayed in Web browsers. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a hostname operable to identify an action and an instance of a link displayed through a Web browser. The hostname is unique for a period of time. The one or more actions associated with the displayed link are tracked.

Abstract: The present invention a method and apparatus for measuring the compression of a stator core 10 that comprises attaching a measuring device 22 to a tensioner 20, placing the tensioner on an end of a through-bolt 12 of the stator core, and performing at least one act of tensioning the stator core 10 with the tensioner. Then measuring a compression state of the stator core by the measuring device registers determining the amount of relative compression achieved by the act of tensioning, the relative compression is the amount of actual compression of the core and the amount of stretch of the through-bolt. Finally determining an actual compression state of the stator core based on the measuring.

Abstract: A dishwashing machine configured to detect the presence of rinse aid in fluid in a washing chamber of the dishwashing machine. An electronic controller selects the drying stage of the dishwashing cycle based on whether rinse aid is present.

Abstract: A process for forming an opacifying pigment encapsulated in polymer including (a) dispersing a pigment particle having an average particle diameter of from 150 to 500 nm and an index of refraction of at least 1.8 such as, for example, TiO2 in a medium with from 0.1% to 10% by weight, based on the weight of said pigment particle, sulfur acid-functional first polymer whereby the zeta potential of the dispersed pigment particle is less than ?28 mV between pH 5 and pH 8; and (b) performing an emulsion polymerization in the presence of the dispersed pigment particle to provide from 10% to 200%, by weight, based on the weight of the pigment particle, second polymer that at least partially encapsulates the dispersed pigment particle. Also provided are the encapsulated pigment particle so formed and compositions including the encapsulated pigment particle.
