Abstract: A boat hull having a door and a method of making the door, which can swing to an open position and closed position. The door can be used for entering or exiting the boat. The door can remain closed with a door lock assembly and door strike. An outer door frame and gussets provide support for the hull and door.

Abstract: A system and method of sorting documents utilizing an algorithm or routine that alternates an order of documents with smallest sheet count documents followed by largest sheet count documents in order to optimizes a document throughput of an inserter based on a maximum speed that documents can be collated and accumulated and an algorithm or routine for optimizing the document throughput of a dual sheet cutter by grouping even sheet count documents together on evenly paired sheet boundaries within a mailing group of printed documents, with or without the use of dynamic motion control of the inserter.

Abstract: A method of making and installing a boat rib making a portion of a boat comprising the steps of: shearing a flat piece of metal to cut to a size; attaching the flat piece of metal to a moveable carriage; cutting apertures in the flat piece of metal; cut final outside dimensions in the flat piece of metal; bending said flat piece of metal to create a rib; and securing said rib to a floor.

Abstract: A boat hull having a door that can swing to an open position and closed position. The door can be used for entering or exiting the boat. The door can remain closed by a latch, or a door handle. A seal may be disposed between the door and the door frame to keep water out. A ramp may be used when the door is open to allow for easier entry for people using wheeled luggage, wheelchairs, or walkers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining abnormal pressure zones of a geologic formation using NMR measurements, preferably for logging-while-drilling applications. In a preferred embodiment, a normal compaction trend is constructed using NMR-derived clay bound water volume (CBW) content for non-consolidated subsurface formations or bulk volume irreducible (BVI) and CBW for consolidated formations versus depth. Deviations from this normal compaction trend are used to indicate the presence of shale sections with higher porosity that directly corresponds to an overpressured top seal or transitional zone.

Abstract: A remotely controllable grain sampling device mounted on the vertical outer wall of a grain storage bin and extending into the interior of the bin so as to extract a sample of grain to be tested, for example, for moisture content, protein content or disease. The sampler is an inclined tube having an opening and closing device on the inner end of the tube that is operated by movement of an internal push rod that may be caused to move by the pull of a rope or cable from a convenient location. The grain sample is collected at a site convenient to the operator.
