The invention relates to a battery possessing a phase change material, especially, discloses a battery pack possessing a phase change material (PCM). By using the phase change material, the heating and cooling capabilities under various vehicle working states can be improved. The invention also relates to a method for controlling the temperature in the battery pack.

Wire or cable insulation comprising at least 30 %, preferably at least 40 %, of polypropylene homo- and/or co-polymer, and comprising at least 2 %, preferably at least 4 % zinc sulphide and/or at least 5 %, preferably at least 10 %, zinc oxide, percentages being by weight based on the whole insulation composition. Preferably, the insulation contains little or substantially zero hydrated flame-retardant fillers and substantially zero mercaptobenzimidazole, and a majority by weight or substantially all of any propylene copolymers present are copolymers of propylene with halogen-free co-monomers.

An open-cycle engine in which rotary power is produced by the pressure of hot gasses against confined, rotating vanes.

A method of producing shattered, preservative-free dried fruit by freezing low moisture fruit (preferably having moisture content of 22 % - 30 %) prior to crushing the frozen fruit (preferably with a roller mill) to produce randomized, shattered fruit pieces (preferably having size primarily in the range from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch). The shattered fruit pieces are optionally dried (for example, while they are warmed in a warm air dryer) to reduce their moisture content to 22 % - 25 % prior to packaging. In an optional, preliminary processing step, dried fruit is first rehydrated to a moisture content of 26 % - 30 % (preferably 28 % - 29 %) to produce low moisture fruit. The low moisture fruit is pitted and then frozen. The frozen, low moisture fruit is then shattered (and optionally then dried) in accordance with the invention.

A dispensing container (400) for storing and dispensing liquid and/or semi-solid foods that has a hollow body (3), a base (4), a piston (405) with a passage (6) through it and a tube (52). The tube (52) is releasably secured to the piston (405) for movement with it and in fluid communication with the passage (6). The piston (405) is slidably received within the body (3) and movable along it toward the base (4) to dispense through the tube (52) a liquid and/or semi-solid food from the container (400).

A multi-lamellar tissue-adhesive sheet comprises a structural layer or laminate conjoined to a tissue-contacting layer. The structural layer or laminate comprises one or more synthetic polymers having film-forming properties, and the tissue- contacting layer of material contains tissue-reactive groups. The synthetic polymers having film-forming properties are preferably biodegradable polyesters, and the tissue-reactive groups are most preferably NHS-ester groups.

A aerosol-generating article (1) comprising a plurality of components assembled within a wrapper to form a rod having a mouth end (7) and a distal end (8) upstream from the mouth end. The plurality ofcomponents comprises an aerosol-forming substrate (2) and a filter segment downstream (5) of the aerosol-forming substrate, the filter segment comprising fibres of at least about 12 denier per filament.

Fracturing a reservoir includes providing a pad fluid to the reservoir via a wellbore in a well to create fractures in the reservoir, providing a fracturing fluid to the fractures via the wellbore, providing a geopolymer precursor fluid to the fractures via the wellbore, shutting in the wellbore at a wellbore pressure, thereby allowing the geopolymer precursor fluid to harden and form geopolymer proppant pillars in the fractures. Providing the geopolymer precursor fluid to the fractures includes pulsing quantities of the geopolymer precursor fluid into a continuous flow of the fracturing fluidor alternately pulsing quantities of the geopolymer precursor fluid and the fracturing fluid. An elapsed time between pulsing the quantities of the geopolymer precursor fluid is between 2 seconds and20 minutes.

A castable and weldable nickel-base alloy that exhibits a desirable balance of strength and resistance to corrosion and oxidation suitable for gas turbine engine applications. A suitable composition for the alloy consists essentially of, by weight, 10% to 25% cobalt, 20% to 28% chromium, 1% to 3% tungsten, 0.5% to 1.5% aluminum, 1.5% to 2.8% titanium, 0.8% to 1.45% columbium, tantalum in an amount less than columbium and Cb+0.508Ta is 1.15% to 1.45%, 0.001% to 0.025% boron, up to 0.4% zirconium, 0.02% to 0.15% carbon, with the balance essentially nickel and incidental impurities.

Provided herein are immunogenic polypeptides, compositions, and methods related to the development of CMV-specific prophylactic and/or therapeutic immunotherapy based on T cell epitopes (e.g., CMV epitopes) that are recognized by cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) and can be employed in the prevention and/or treatment of CMV infection, reactivation, and/or disease (e.g., CMV-associated end organ disease), especially in solid organ transplant recipients.

A method, system, and computer-readable medium for enabling a client application to access an online service, such as an online AI service, without requiring the developer of the client application to fully understand the interface contract of the online service and write software code integrating the client application directly with the interface of the online service. In one aspect, the interface contract of the online service is automatically analyzed, and the client application developer is presented with options for configuring the mapping of data fields between the client application or client application database and the online service. Based on the developer's configuration choices, software code is automatically generated for exchanging data between the client application or client application database and the online service. Trigger conditions for the software code may be changes in the database state, predefined events, or requests received from the client application.

A superconducting fault current limiter (10) is shown. It comprises a cryostatic cooling system (20) for containing a cooling medium (26), a superconducting wire (30) immersed in the cooling medium (26) and configured to carry a current, the superconducting wire (30) becoming non-superconducting above a critical current density, and a plurality of heat dissipation elements spaced along and projecting from the superconducting wire (30), wherein the heat dissipation elements have an electrically insulating coating, and whereby the heat dissipation elements transfer heat from the superconductingwire (30) into the cooling medium (26).

Systems and methods are provided for generating account permissions for an account on a computing system. In some embodiments, an application programming interface (API) interaction involving an external application and a computing system is used to generate a corresponding set of account permissions for an account. The set of account permissions may also or alternatively be generated for the account using API permissions for external applications. The set of account permissions may cause the account to access the same resource on the computing system as the external application, thereby avoiding granting over-wide access rights to the computing system to the account.
