    摘要: A cleaning system connected to an air suspension system. The disclosed subject matter generally relates to a cleaning system for cleaning a surface of a device of a vehicle by means of applying an air jet to the surface. The proposed cleaning system is adapted to be combined with an air suspension system in such a way that the cleaning system receives exhaust air from the air suspension system which air may be used for cleaning of device surfaces. Thus, the proposed cleaning system can receive exhaust air from the air suspension system and apply the air to the device surface via nozzles without the need for a source of air dedicated to the cleaning system.

    摘要: A subframe for a vehicle, which comprises a first and second longitudinal member, wherein the longitudinal members extend in a longitudinal direction (x) and are relatively offset in a transverse direction (y) of the subframe, a transverse front member connectable to the first and second longitudinal member at a front section of the subframe, a transverse rear member connectable to the first and second longitudinal member at a rear section of the subframe.

    摘要: A process for the production of direct reduced iron (DRI), with or without carbon, using hydrogen, where the hydrogen is produced utilizing water generated internally from the process. The process is characterized by containing either one or two gas loops, one for affecting the reduction of the oxide and another for affecting the carburization of the DRI. The primary loop responsible for reduction recirculates used gas from the shaft furnace in a loop including a dry dedusting step, an oxygen removal step to generate the hydrogen, and a connection to the shaft furnace for reduction. In the absence of a second loop, this loop, in conjunction with natural gas addition, can be used to deposit carbon. A secondary carburizing loop installed downstream of the shaft furnace can more finely control carbon addition. This loop includes a reactor vessel, a dedusting step, and a gas separation unit.

    摘要: A framework in which annotated images can be analyzed in small batches to learn and distinguish between higher-quality annotations and lower-quality annotations, especially in the case of manual annotations for which quality assurance is desired. This framework is extremely generalizable and can be used for indoor images, outdoor images, medical images, etc., without limitation. An echo state network (ESN) is provided as a special case of semantic segmentation model that can be trained using as few as tens of annotated images to predict semantic regions and provide metrics that can be used to distinguish between higher-quality annotations and lower-quality annotations.

    摘要: In the park lock arrangement according to embodiments, a pivoting park pawl is arranged with a roller member against which a lower bearing surface of an actuating member is configured to bear for controlling the park pawl to pivot between a park release position and a park lock position. An upper bearing surface of the actuating member is further configured to bear against an actuator support roller being configured to assist the actuating member in pressing against the roller member of the park pawl to cause the park pawl to pivot. The roller member and the actuator support roller will decrease frictional force arising when the actuating member moves into contact with the roller member for pivoting the park pawl.

    摘要: A method for the direct fluorination of plastics and articles made from plastics is presented. The novel method includes ensuring extremely low oxygen and moisture content in the chamber before the primary fluorination step, ramping the fluorine concentration during the fluorination step, and providing a quenching step for improved shelf-life. Containers processed by the novel method demonstrate a marked improvement in barrier properties for organic solutions.

    摘要: A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a seat bottom; a seat back pivotably coupled to the seat bottom; and a seat belt buckle assembly coupled to the seat bottom and the seat back and movable from a first configuration to a second configuration when the seat back is pivoted relative to the seat bottom such that the seat belt buckle assembly does not interfere with the seat back when the seat back is collapsed against the seat bottom. Optionally, the seat belt buckle assembly is translated downwards with respect to the seat bottom from the first configuration to the second configuration when the seat back is pivoted forwards relative to the seat bottom. Optionally, the seat belt buckle assembly is pivoted forwards with respect to the seat bottom from the first configuration to the second configuration when the seat back is pivoted forwards relative to the seat bottom.
