Abstract: A hydronic apparatus support system for supporting a component of a hydronic fluid handling apparatus may comprise a base mounting assembly with a base rail for mounting on a support and forming a ledge, and a base panel supportable on the base rail and having an outer surface with a plurality of mounting apertures being formed in the outer surface. The system may further include at least one component mounting bracket mountable on the base panel to support the component on the base mounting assembly. The component mounting bracket may have at least two holes simultaneously alignable with at least two of the mounting apertures of the plurality of mounting apertures in the base panel to permit a fastener to pass through a hole of the mounting bracket and a mounting aperture of the base panel aligned with each other.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a virtual character being presented to a user within a real-time immersive environment. A first animation to be applied to the virtual character is determined. A nonverbal communication animation to be applied to the virtual character simultaneously with the first animation is determined. The virtual character is animated in real-time based on the first animation and the nonverbal communication animation.

Abstract: A jar mechanism comprises a housing (22) having a fluid chamber (9) therein, a piston (5) encircled by an annular metering sleeve (19) and movably mounted in the fluid chamber for movement between a first position and a second position, and a jar member (2) moveably mounted in the housing such that a pull or push force exerted on the jar member moves the piston from the first position to the second position within the fluid chamber against the resistance of the fluid, and the action of the pull or push force exerted on the jar member actuates a release device. The jar member is releasably coupled to the piston by the release device (3,4) such that, when the piston is in the first position in the fluid chamber, the jar member is coupled to the piston by the release device for movement therewith. Actuation of the release device enables the jar member to be uncoupled from the piston.
