Abstract: A portable cooler container with active temperature control includes a double-walled insulated container body with a chamber to receive and hold temperature sensitive products. A control system is at least partially disposed between an outer wall and an inner wall of the container body. An electronic display screen on one of the lid and the container body configured to display shipping address information for the portable cooler container.

Abstract: A method of adjusting and using operating parameters of a transmission of a vehicle may include accessing a stored list of clutch parameters, performing a dynamic condition procedure while the vehicle is driven to revise minimum on-coming apply pressure for each friction element based on a sensed performance of an element within the vehicle powertrain, storing the modified minimum on-coming apply pressures, and operating the vehicle. A related transmission control device operates a transmission using parameters obtained during a dynamic condition procedure.

Abstract: A method of adjusting operating parameters of a transmission of a vehicle may include accessing a stored list of clutch parameters; performing a static condition procedure to revise the clutch parameters; and performing a dynamic condition procedure to further revise the clutch parameters. The method may be performed by a transmission control device for the vehicle, the vehicle having a powertrain including an engine, the transmission with a plurality of solenoid actuated friction elements, and sensors. The static condition procedure and dynamic procedures may be performed incrementally, and the static condition procedure may be performed more than once to fine tune the results.

Abstract: A chip layout for a high speed semiconductor device is disclosed. The chip layout isolates Rx terminals and Rx ports from Tx terminals and Tx ports. A serial interface is centrally located to reduce latency, power and propagation delays. Stacked die that contain one or more devices with the chip layout are characterized by having improved latency, bandwidth, power consumption, and propagation delays.

Abstract: A chip layout isolates Rx terminals and Rx ports from Tx terminals and Tx ports. Tx terminals are grouped contiguously to each other, and are segregated as a group to a given edge of the package, Rx terminals are similarly grouped and segregated to a different edge of the package. Tx and Rx data channels are disposed in a respective single layer of the package, or both are disposed in a same single layer of the package. Rx ports and Tx ports are located at an approximate center of the package, with Tx and Rx ports disposed on respective opposite sides of an axis bisecting the package. Data signals received by, and transmitted from, the chip flow in a same direction, from a first edge of the package to the center of the package and from the center of the package to a second edge of the package, respectively.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine rotor stack includes one or more longitudinally outwardly concave spacers. Outboard surfaces of the spacers may be in close facing proximity to inboard tips of vane airfoils. The airfoils have dihedral and sweep.

Abstract: A tailored active noise control design method is presented that provides for improved noise attenuation performance for each individual user and improved hearing protection in a specified noise field as a function of a specified metric indicative of a noise reduction objection. Characteristics of individual users, behavior of the associated passive hearing protection, and the external noise environment are all concurrently accounted for in an automatic method for designing an active controller that limits the exposed noise level for a specific individual. The controller manufacturing process and implementation may be performed in-situ for each individual automatically. The design method may also account for actuator limitations and can be applied equally well to any passive/active noise control devices including headphones and earplugs.

Abstract: A turbine engine stator segment has an outer wall segment with inboard and outboard surfaces. An inner wall segment has inboard and outboard surfaces essentially sharing an axis with those of the outer wall segment. Airfoils forming a sector of a first airfoil stage extend between the wall segments. The outboard wall segment has a compressor bleed port mounted at least along a forward edge by a lip projecting rearward and radially outward. The lip has inner and outer surfaces and a rim and projects radially beyond an adjacent portion of the outer wall segment.
