Abstract:
A torsional vibration damper, particularly for use in the power train of a motor vehicle, employs one or more preferably arcuate coil springs having constant inner radii and one or more sets of neighboring smaller-diameter convolutions next to one or more sets of neighboring larger-diameter convolutions. The coil spring or springs is or are compressible by the retainers of two components which can turn, about a common axis, with and relative to each other and at least one of which defines a chamber for the coil spring(s). The retainers of the components can act upon the adjacent end convolutions of the coil spring or of two or more series-arranged coil springs between them by way of plastic slide elements and/or elastic bumpers. One or more plastic slides can partially surround selected convolutions to maintain it or them out of contact with the surface surrounding the coil spring(s) even when such spring or springs is or are being acted upon by centrifugal force in response to high-speed rotation of the components.

Abstract:
A cable connector assembly (1) in accordance with the present invention includes a plug (3), a cable (4) and a fusible element (5). The plug comprises a terminal (30) having a connecting portion (301). The connecting portion defines a hole (304) extending through a first and an opposite second faces (302, 303) thereof. The fusible element is filled in the hole (304). The cable includes a wire (40) having a soldering portion (400). The soldering portion includes a first tail (401) and a second tail (402) respectively soldered onto the first and the second faces. The first and the second tails are connected with each other by the fusible element.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for distributing data in a content delivery network configured to provide edge services using a plurality of service providers. Data indicative of data usage and cost data for the plurality of service providers is accessed. Based on the accessed data, an effective unit cost, multiplex efficiency, and channel utilization are determined for a selected user. A Bayesian optimization algorithm is applied to at least a portion of the accessed data. The content delivery network is configured to redistribute data traffic for the selected user based on a result of the applied Bayesian optimization algorithm.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a welded integral forged steel piston and a manufacturing process thereof. A piston head and a piston skirt are fixedly connected. A closed cooling oil cavity is formed between the piston head and the piston skirt. The cooling oil cavity is communicated with the outside through an oil inlet and an oil outlet. The bottom end of the piston head is concentrically provided with annular inner welding shoulder A and outer welding shoulder A. The top end of the piston skirt is concentrically provided with annular inner welding shoulder B and outer welding shoulder B which are respectively matched with the inner welding shoulder A and the outer welding shoulder A. The present invention provides a welded integral forged steel piston with reasonable structure, safety, reliability and high production efficiency, and a manufacturing process thereof.
Abstract:
A lifting tree for a Christmas tree includes a trunk consisting of a base cylinder with an upper opening and a lifting cylinder set. The lifting cylinder set includes a plurality of hollow lifting cylinders coupling vertically in sequence and two adjacent lifting cylinders that can move relatively. A limiting structure is arranged between two adjacent lifting cylinders to prevent separation. The lifting cylinder at bottom is coupled with the base cylinder in which a linear module is provided, which includes a mobile unit connected to the lifting cylinder at the top of lifting cylinder set in a fixed position. At the top of each lifting cylinder, there is a connecting piece for connecting branches.
Abstract:
The invention is related to an apparatus comprising: a receiver configured to receive a channel quality indication matrix; a processor configured to repeat, until the channel quality indication matrix is empty except for selected scheduling results, the following procedure: selecting a column of the channel quality indication matrix having the smallest number of non-zero channel quality indicators; searching for a largest channel quality indicator in the selected column of the channel quality indication matrix; selecting the searched largest channel quality indicator as a scheduling result, and emptying the column and row of the channel quality indication matrix corresponding to the selected scheduling result except for the selected scheduling result.
Abstract:
Event audio data that is based on verbal utterances associated with a medical event associated with a patient is received. A list of a plurality of candidate text strings that match interpretations of the event audio data is obtained, based on information included in a medical speech repository, information included in a speech accent repository, and a matching function. A selection of at least one of the candidate text strings included in the list is obtained. A population of at least one field of an electronic medical form is initiated, based on the obtained selection.
Abstract:
The present invention is generally related to modified or mutated respiratory syncytial virus fusion (F) proteins and methods for making and using them, including immunogenic compositions such as vaccines for the treatment and/or prevention of RSV infection.
