Abstract:
A communication system includes a wireless network service, a bound telephone device, and a handheld communication device. In this case, the bound telephone device couples with the wireless network service, and the handheld communication device has a wireless network search module and a call divert module. The wireless network search module detects the wireless network service. When the wireless network service is detected by the wireless network search module, the call divert module executes a call divert setup to divert a call from the handheld communication device to the bound telephone device. In addition, a handheld communication device and a method for automatic call diverting are provided.
Abstract:
An assembly for a vehicle includes a first member including a plurality of elastically deformable locating protrusions extending outward, and a second member defining a cavity extending inward and including a plurality of elastically deformable compression features disposed within the cavity. The locating protrusions of the first member are disposed within the cavity of the second member in press fit engagement with the compression features of the second member to secure the first member relative to the second member. The average of the elastic deformation between all of the locating protrusions of the first member and all of the compression features of the second member precisely aligns the first member relative to the second member. The assembly may include but is not limited to a multiple unit battery pack, a multiple unit fuel cell pack, a dashboard assembly or adjoining body panels.
Abstract:
A method for beam welding a multi-sheet work stack includes positioning a first sheet adjacent to a second sheet, and positioning a third sheet adjacent to the second sheet such that a single common welding interface is defined. An energy beam is directed onto the interface until a fusion weld forms along the interface. The third sheet may define a flange or a tab portion. The flange portion may be placed in direct contact with the first sheet along the interface, while the tab portion may be inserted into a slot of the second sheet to contact the first sheet at the interface. The beam may be a laser or ion beam. The lower melting temperature sheet may be positioned farther from the source of the energy beam than the other sheets. The welded assembly may be a battery module, with the sheets being an interconnect member and battery tabs.
Abstract:
Protection of contact information and call records in a mobile communication device, such as a cell phone, is accomplished through setting a protective password, setting a PIN password, setting an electronic recipient address, and using a short message service (SMS) to send a copy of the information to a storage device, such as another mobile communication device or an information services point, at the electronic recipient address if a protective password input does not match the protective password, or if a PIN password input does not match the PIN password. To further protect the information, the information can be deleted after the copy is sent.

Abstract:
A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells arranged in a stack, each of the battery cells including a pair of spaced apart tabs extending therefrom, a rigid support plate coupled to at least one of the tabs, and a busbar coupled to at least one of the tabs of each of a pair of adjacent battery cells.
Abstract:
A method for beam welding a multi-sheet work stack includes providing a reduced thickness feature in a first sheet, positioning the first sheet adjacent to a second sheet to define a first welding interface, and positioning a third sheet adjacent to the second sheet to define a second welding interface. A laser or electron beam is directed through the first sheet at the feature to form a fusion weld at one of the welding interfaces. A second beam may be directed onto the other interface to form a second fusion weld. Providing a reduced thickness feature in the first sheet may include forming the feature with the beam and mechanically pre-forming the feature. One of the interfaces may be pre-heated using the beam, and the beam may be split using a beam splitter to form multiple beams. A welded assembly formed via the method is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A portable angle impact tool has a housing, a motor arranged within the housing, a transmission mechanism which comprises a transmission rod extending along a longitudinal axis X driven by the motor and a spindle extending along an axis Y which is perpendicular to the axis X and driven by the transmission rod, and a switch assembly for controlling the motor located proximate to the spindle and arranged within an upper ⅔ of the housing.
Abstract:
A portable angle impact tool includes a housing, a motor, and a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission rod extending along an axis X, a spindle extending along an axis Y perpendicular to the axis X, an impact assembly for driving an output shaft and connected with the spindle, a first transmission element positioned on the transmission rod and engaging with a second transmission element positioned on the spindle, and a pinion positioned on of the transmission rod engaging with a gear on a motor shaft of the motor. In a direction of the axis Y, the impact assembly and the spindle are located on one side of the second transmission element and the longitudinal axis X of the transmission rod is located on the other side of the second transmission element to provide the impact tool with a more compact arrangement and higher output power from the output shaft.
