Abstract: A battery pack that includes an enclosure having at least four sidewalls and a base. An array of cells is arranged on the base, with each of the cells having a large wall surface and a small wall surface. The cells are arranged such that the large wall surfaces are parallel to each other. Components of the enclosure are made from an extrusion process and are mechanically attached or welded together. A base of the enclosure has fluid channels formed from the extrusion for use in cooling the array of cells.

Abstract: A secure media capture device may comprise a secure memory, a first sensor, a second sensor, a processor, and a communication module. The first sensor may be configured to capture media. The second sensor may be configured to capture data indicating a time, a place, or a combination thereof at which the media is captured. The processor may be configured to obtain device metadata; associate the data, the media, and the device metadata to form a submission; encrypt the submission; and store the submission in the secure memory The communication module may be configured send to the submission to a public web server via a public network.

Abstract: A display device to display a representation of a set of states, each one of the states being associated with a corresponding variable. Each of the states displayed is designated as being a most significant state for the corresponding variable. Input representing a probability estimate to be associated with a displayed state is entered and used to generate data for use in an expert system.

Abstract: A quick connect/disconnect ladder assembly includes a mounting plate attached to a vehicle's tailgate of a truck bed, a pivot plate mounted thereto to which is attached a ladder on which to ascend to gain convenient access to the bed of the pickup truck. When the tailgate is opened, the ladder can be pivoted away from the vehicle bed to a substantially perpendicular position with respect to its original orientation against the tailgate of the truck. The ladder is then pivoted downwards such that the lower end of the rails or legs contact the ground surface. The ladder is further pivotable counterclockwise to its stowed position on the tailgate to disconnect the ladder and pivot plate from the mounting plate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a substrate having a plurality of immobilised furanone moieties associated with at least part of a surface of the substrate. The invention also relates to articles consisting of or comprising such a substrate.

Abstract: Pressure pads useful in the closing and sealing of multiple components which define the bottom of a carton, particularly a gable-type carton, bottom having a square or rectangular footprint. The invention is especially useful in the closing of the bottom of cartons wherein the sealing fin of the carton bottom is non-handed.
