Abstract: Frame for use in coating a reinforcing fiber are provided. The frame includes a first frame end having a first cross-sectional shape. The first cross-sectional shape has one or more contact locations that are spaced apart from each other. The reinforcing fiber contacts the first frame end at the one or more contact locations. Methods are also provided for coating such a fiber.

Abstract: A system for coating reinforcing fiber of a composite component is provided, The system includes a frame including at least one contact location for contacting the reinforcing fiber and a movement mechanism including an actuator. The movement mechanism is operably coupled to the frame to induce movement of the reinforcing fiber relative to the frame. Methods are also provided for coating such a fiber.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for gas management of metal-air batteries. Each one of a plurality of electrochemical cells may include at least one air electrode, a metal electrode, a vessel, and a liquid electrolyte between the at least one air electrode and the metal electrode in the vessel, with each one of the plurality of electrochemical cells defining a respective headspace above the liquid electrolyte in the vessel. A manifold may include ducting defining a shared vent and an outlet region, and the respective headspace of each one of the plurality of electrochemical cells may be fluidically coupled to the shared vent and in fluid communication with the outlet region of the ducting.

Abstract: Technologies and implementations for a defibrillator electrode having communicative capabilities are generally disclosed.

Abstract: The animal repellent container has the capability of deterring deer through a soap capsule, and snakes via a moth ball bottom unit. The container is equipped with holes and hooks to enable simple installation and quick accessibility. The container also includes a top, bottom and expandable midsection compartment having a length based on a water absorption expansion and an evaporation contraction proportional to a respective increase and decrease in the number of holes exposed.

Abstract: An audiovisual conferencing system and method include a plurality of video monitors, video cameras and audio transducers positioned within a home club. Each of the components is connected to a computer controller and broadband interne router so as to be in selective communication with one of a plurality of similar remote systems positioned within another club. Accordingly, patrons of the home club can visually and audibly communicate with patrons of a remote club via the interne.

Abstract: An internal tree cap having a running configuration and a latched configuration to be selectively secured to a tree spool. The tree cap may include an inner sleeve movable between upper and lower positions. The movement of the inner sleeve to the lower position may simultaneously engage a locking profile within the tree spool and energize a sealing element around the exterior of the tree cap. The tree cap may be a low profile tree cap that is flush with the top of the tree spool when installed. The tree cap may provide a collateral beneficial locking means to secure a tubing hanger within the tree spool. A lower housing may be attached to the tree cap to seal on the exterior of the upper neck of the tubing hanger. The tree cap may include a profile to accept a wireline plug.

Abstract: In a combustor for a turbine a cover sleeve is disposed between the aft end portion of the combustor liner and a resilient seal structure to define an air flow passage therebetween. The cover sleeve has at a forward end thereof a plurality of air inlet feed holes for directing cooling air into the air flow passage. A radially outer surface of the combustor liner aft end portion defining the air flow passage includes a plurality of turbulators projecting towards but spaced from the cover sleeve and a plurality of supports extending to and engaging the cover sleeve to space the cover sleeve from the turbulators to define the air flow passage.
