Abstract:
A charging device for use with an electric vehicle including a power storage device. The charging device includes a power conduit configured to electrically couple the power storage device to the charging device. The charging device includes a first protection device configured to electrically isolate the charging device from the power storage device if a current flowing through the power conduit exceeds a current limit. The charging device also includes a controller configured to control the current flowing through the power conduit if the current flowing through the power conduit causes an integration threshold to be exceeded, wherein the integration threshold is representative of a predetermined amount of current that is enabled to flow through the power conduit over a predetermined period of time.
Abstract:
The present invention generally includes deposition and electropolishing methods and an apparatus comprising an electroplating cell and auxiliary cell. In one embodiment for electropolishing a substrate, a cycle is performed in which the substrate is alternately placed in an anolyte solution to remove material and a catholyte solution to deposit material. As the cycle is repeated successively, an exposed layer disposed on the substrate is planarized. In another embodiment, an auxiliary cell may be used to deposit the ultrathin seed layer prior to electroplating.

Abstract:
A firearm accessory mount includes a main part with a rail receiving portion extending in a first direction that can receive a firearm mount rail, and includes a holding part with a rail engaging portion. The holding part is movable relative to the main part so that the rail engaging portion moves approximately parallel to a second direction forming an angle to the first direction. An adjusting portion positionally adjusts the rail engaging portion with respect to the main part, approximately parallel to a third direction transverse to each of the first and second directions. A manually operable member is operatively coupled to the holding part so that the holding part is moved approximately parallel to the second direction in response to movement of the member.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an anhydrous cosmetic composition intended to be applied to keratinous substances, in particular the skin, the lips or the eyelashes. This composition comprises at least one crosslinked polyrotaxane polymer and at least one oil. This composition makes it possible in particular to form, on keratinous substances, a deposited layer which increases in volume by addition of water or by the action of saliva or sweat. This composition is in particular a mascara, a lipstick or a foundation formulation.
Abstract:
Polycondensate, composition containing it, especially a nail varnish composition, and process for preparation. The polycondensate may be obtained by reacting: a polyol comprising 3 to 6 hydroxyl groups; a saturated or unsaturated non-aromatic monocarboxylic acid; an aromatic monocarboxylic acid containing 7 to 11 carbon atoms; and a saturated or unsaturated, or even aromatic, linear, branched and/or cyclic polycarboxylic acid, comprising at least two carboxylic groups COOH; and/or a cyclic anhydride of such a polycarboxylic acid.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for plating a metal layer onto a substrate is provided. The plating apparatus includes two or more segments of an anode and an auxiliary electrode. The plating method includes a first stage of plating a thin metal seed uniformly in the center of the substrate and near the edges of the substrate before metal gap filling and bulk metal plating are performed. The thin metal seed is plated on the substrate surface by applying a current pulse provided by a first power supply and a second power supply which are in electrical communication in reverse polarity with one segment of the anode and the auxiliary electrode. Thereafter, gap filling of features is performed by applying a second current pulse where current is provided to all segments of the anode.
