Abstract: A hybrid electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) is provided. The EVCS includes a charging chassis that is configured to support a charging circuitry for providing a charge current to an electric vehicle and a multi-conductor cable that is attached to the charging chassis and that receives the charging current from the charging circuitry and that transmits the charging current to the electric vehicle. The EVCS further includes a user interface that is attached to the charging chassis and that is configured to provide digital content to a vehicle operator during a charging event of the electric vehicle. The charging chassis includes multiple user interface attachment structures that are each configured to support the user interface.

Abstract: A smart locker system with assistance for a visually impaired user is disclosed. Each locker in the smart locker system includes a beacon that emits a signal either before the locker door is released or at the same time as the locker door is released. The beacon is used by a visually impaired user to locate the specified locker before it opens or at the same time as it opens. The beacon may be a haptic device that causes the specified locker to vibrate, which allows the user to find the locker by feel. The beacon may also be an auditory device that causes the specified locker to emit a sound, which allows the user to find the locker by sound.

Abstract: A method in which a mould is coated with a reactive polymer, a liquid curable composition is filled into the mould and cured under conditions such that the reactive polymer becomes covalently bonded to the cured bulk mould material at the interface. The reactive polymer has zwitterionic groups to confer improved biocompatibility on the moulded product. The reactive group on the reactive polymer is conveniently an ethylenically unsaturated group. The curable composition is suitably a radical polymerisable ethylenically unsaturated monomer mixture or a platinum-curable liquid silicone composition.

Abstract: An image forming device having a rotatable drum, at least one printhead mounted adjacent to the rotatable drum, and a printhead service station. The printhead and rotatable drum together define a print zone in which fluid travels from the printhead towards the rotatable drum, and the printhead service station is within the print zone.

Abstract: A polymer is formed of ethylenically unsaturated monomers including a zwitterionic monomer, an aromatic monomer and a cross-linking monomer. Preferably the crosslinking monomer includes at least one a group containing compound and at least one aliphatic group containing compound. The polymer is water-swellable and a hydrogen has optical and mechanical properties rendering it suitable for use as an intraocular refractive device such as an intraocular lens.

Abstract: A glaucoma filtration implant is constituted by a generally tubular body section having an oblong external diameter formed of a continuous convex curve. The device preferably has flow resistance structure provided by a portion of the internal lumen having a reduced diameter. The flow resistance structure may have a length of up to 5000 &mgr;m and a diameter in the range 15 to 50 &mgr;m, the diameter being selected so as to achieve a pressure drop along the flow resistance structure in the range 5 to 15 mm Hg. The internal conduit for liquid flow also may include a removable flow inhibitor, which can be removed after implantation by a laser, such as an ophthalmic YAG laser. The device is made of biocompatible materials.

Abstract: Process for the free-radical polymerisation of olefinically unsaturated monomer(s) using a free-radical initiator, the polymerisation being performed in the presence of a compound for effecting molecular weight control, wherein the molecular weight control compound is a Co Il chelate of the following formula I ##STR1## wherein each group X, independently in each ring and in different rings, is a substituent selected from alkyl of 1 to 14 carbon atoms and cycloalkyl of 6 to 14 carbon atoms; n, independently in each ring, is 0 to 5 provided that in at least one ring, n is 1 to 5; Z, independently on each boron atom, is selected from F, Cl, Br, OH, alkoxy of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, aryloxy of 6 to 12 carbon atoms, alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and aryl of 6 to 12 carbon atoms; or two Z groups taken together provide on one or both boron atoms a group --O--(Q)--O-- where Q is a divalent aryl or alicyclic linking group or an alkylene linking group, or two Z groups taken together on one or both boron atoms provide a

Abstract: Process for the free-radical polymerization of at least one olefinically unsaturated monomer, the polymerization being performed in the presence of a compound for effecting molecular weight control, being a CoII chelate of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein each group X is a divalent group which forms with the two carbon atoms to which it is bonded a pericondensed polycyclic group, being a group having 3 or more carbocyclic rings where the oxime-containing carbocyclic ring has carbon atoms in common with 2 or more of the other rings, the polycyclic group being unsubstituted (apart from the oxime groups) or having at least one hydrocarbyl substituent; and wherein each group Q is independently selected from F, Cl, Br, OH, C.sub.1-12 alkoxy, aryloxy, C.sub.
