Contact stiffeners for structural skins

An internal stiffening member of varying configurations in which the stiffening elements support the skin using a compression-only load path is dislcosed. In the preferred embodiment, the stiffening element has a peripheral edge that is adapted to be press fit into contact with the skin. The stiffening member may be held in place by various retention devices. Another configuration is a slip-in rib having a flange with a peripheral channel in which a filler material is disposed. The rib is inserted into an assembled structural box beam, and the filler material is used to fill any gaps between the slip-in rib and the interior surface of the structural box beam. The filler material is preferably an expandable material, such as an expandable foam-type material. However, in situations where a slip-in rib forms a primary structural rib, the filler material is preferably a structural adhesive or liquid shim material. A solid adhesive or filler would not crush under the clamping forces from fasteners or bolts at localized fitting attachments.

Modular lithium-ion battery system for fork lifts

Many embodiments involve rechargeable battery assemblies that are forklift-battery-sized but that comprise multiple removable battery modules. The removable battery modules are individually rechargeable and are interchangeable with each other. A housing contains six battery modules installed vertically on the front side of the assembly, with their electrical and data connections occurring within the housing on the rear side. Assemblies will be two sided so that the system has two racks with six modules per rack. The handles of each module are collapsible and on the top edges of the overall assembly so that they are readily accessible during removal. Each battery module has an integrated battery supervisor system (BSS). A Battery Operating System Supervisor (BOSS) module processor serves as a battery management system for the all the battery modules. The BOSS module grants permissions to battery modules to enable them to connect and disconnect from busbars at the appropriate times to prevent electrical issues.

Method for manipulating terminals of double stranded DNA

A method for manipulating the terminals of a double-stranded DNA. The principle thereof is using a restriction nicking enzyme to first generate one or more nicks on one strand of a double-stranded DNA, then using an oligonucleotide adaptor to bind the same or a different restriction nicking enzyme to generate cleavage on the other strand of the double-stranded DNA, the position of cleavage being determined by the design of the oligonucleotide adapter, and eventually cleaving the double-stranded DNA of interest and generating various lengths of 5′ io protruding terminals and various lengths of 3′ protruding terminals or blunt terminals at the nicks. The bases at the terminals of a double-stranded DNA generated by means of this method can be designed at will, and such terminals can be used for double-stranded DNA splicing, particularly seamless splicing of double-stranded DNA.

Tamper-evident band assembly

A two-piece tamper-evident band assembly for use with a container and closure combination, where the container has a peripheral collar and the closure has a skirt, is shown. The tamper-evident band assembly includes a breakaway band frangibly connected to a staying ring. The staying ring has decreased flexibility where it connects to the container and closure combination, which prevents the assembly from deforming in a manner that will cause the assembly to fail to indicate that the container has been opened. The tamper-evident band assembly also indicates whether the container has been compromised without requiring modification of the container or the closure and can be applied to existing container and closure combinations that lack a tamper-evident system, allowing the assembly to be used with a variety of container and closure combinations.
