Abstract: A webbing protection system is provided. The webbing protection system includes at least one pad portion and at least one protective member. The at least one pad portion has a first pad surface and a second pad surface. The first pad surface of each pad portion is configured to engage a portion of a body of a user. The second pad surface of each pad portion has at least one pad channel guide. Each protective member has at least one raised portion. Each protective member is coupled to an associated pad portion such that the raised portion of the protective member is aligned with an associated pad channel guide of the associated pad portion to provide a first guide path for the first webbing. Each protective member provides wear and abrasion protection for the first webbing proximate the guide path.

Abstract: An adjustable bed system includes a first frame having four actuators coupled thereto and disposed between the head and foot ends thereof. The actuators define a generally-rectangular configuration wherein first and third actuators are diagonally-opposed and wherein second and fourth actuators are diagonally-opposed. A second frame coupled to the first frame includes a first section secured to the first frame, a second section pivotably coupled to the first section towards the head end of the first frame, and a third section pivotably coupled to the first section towards the foot end of the first frame. The first and third actuators are coupled to the second and third sections, respectively, for articulating the second and third sections, respectively. First and second leg assemblies are coupled to the second and fourth actuators, respectively, for selectively raising and lowering the first frame.

Abstract: A buckle and catch used to couple webbing together is provided. The buckle includes a connecting portion, a slide and locking member. The connecting portion is configured to selectively engage an engaging portion of a first webbing. The slide of the buckle is configured to engage a second webbing and the locking member is configured to selectively press the second webbing on the slide.

Abstract: A traffic detection and signal system for pathways within an industrial work environment and method therefor includes at least one sensor positioned to detect objects approaching a pathway intersection and at least one visual indicator electronically linked to the at least one sensor to visually indicate that an object is approaching. The system further includes a controller electronically coupled to the at least one sensor and visual indicator to receive a signal that an object is approaching a pathway intersection and transmit a signal to energize the at least one visual indicator.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to multi-currency production ledgers, and more particularly to methods of converting multi-currency production ledgers to accommodate the unification of several national currencies by respective participating states into a single currency.

Abstract: A releasable vertical lift overhead door for an opening of a structure includes a plurality of tracks with one of a pair of the tracks adapted to be disposed on a side of the opening of the structure and another of the pair of the tracks adapted to be disposed on another side of the opening and at least one door leaf disposed between the pair of the tracks. The releasable vertical lift overhead door also includes a release assembly attached to the at least one door leaf on each side thereof. Each release assembly has a support bracket attached to the at least one door leaf and a guide bar disposed within the support bracket for receiving a portion of one of the tracks to guide movement of the at least one door leaf along the tracks. The guide bars releasably disengage the pair of the tracks when a force of a predetermined magnitude is applied to the at least one door leaf.

Abstract: An apparatus for rate controlled gravity drip delivery of a liquid from a replaceable storage container to a delivery site includes a first mount for removably suspending the container at a first elevation higher than the site. A second mount is located above the site, but at a second elevation below the first elevation by a predetermined amount. The second mount carries an intersurface comprising a venting tubing connector having an outlet into a delivery conduit extending to the site. A metering tube of predetermined flow resistance substantially higher than that of the delivery conduit extends from the container at one end and is releasably secured to the connector at its other end to define a two part flow path from the container to the site through the metering tube and delivery conduit.

Abstract: The specification discloses an isolation door assembly which, by virtue of having annuli provided about the joint between the door coaming and the door framing, about the seal between the door and the coaming, and about any penetration of the door by shafts, etc. provides the means to test the door assembly at installation, and at specified testing intervals.By providing pressure fittings (normally plugged) which communicate with the annuli described above, and introducing a testing medium under pressure into said annuli, the integrity of all door seals can be tested.
