Abstract: A cover for a container that includes a lid portion and a collar element. The lid portion having a main body section surrounded by a peripheral sealing shoulder. The collar element having a peripheral collar sealing shoulder that includes a collar groove and wherein the lid portion is connected to the collar portion through a hinge element. The lid portion, collar element and hinge portion are formed as a unitary structure and the lid portion articulates from an open positon in which it is spaced apart from the collar element to a closed position wherein the peripheral bead sealing shoulder of the lid portion engages with the peripheral collar sealing shoulder of the collar element.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to building surface products, for example, panels suitable for forming a building surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface product including a gypsum panel with an upper edge that overlaps a lower edge of a neighboring gypsum panel.

Abstract: A prolapse prevention device formed by a continuous wire-like structure having a first end and a second end disconnected from each other. The continuous wire-like structure of the prolapse prevention device is substantially straight in a delivery configuration. The prolapse prevention device in a deployed configuration includes a centering ring of the continuous wire-like structure configured to seat adjacent to and upstream of an annulus of a heart valve in situ, a vertical support of the continuous wire-like structure which extends from the centering ring and includes an apex configured to seat against a roof of an atrium in situ, and a leaflet backstop of the continuous wire-like structure extending radially inward from the centering ring and configured to contact at least at least a first leaflet of the heart valve in situ to exert a pressure in a downstream direction on the first leaflet to prevent the first leaflet from prolapsing into the atrium.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to wallboards, for example, suitable for use in constructing internal walls. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a wallboard and a method that provides simplified high-quality surface finishing. The wallboard includes a wall panel having a front surface and a rear surface. A sandable coating is disposed on the front surface of the wall panel. The method includes positioning wallboards adjacent to one another, applying sandable joint compound over joint formed between the wallboards, and sanding the joint compound and the sandable coating of the wallboards.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to building surface products, for example, suitable for forming a building surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface product including a panel having a front surface, a rear surface, and a gypsum body between the front surface and rear surface. A first attachment clip is secured to the rear surface of the panel and includes a first leg extending outward from the rear surface of the panel. A retaining flange is coupled to the first leg and extends over the rear surface in a first direction. The retaining flange includes a slot that is configured to receive a post so as to secure the building surface product to a support structure. A first fastener that penetrates the rear surface of the panel is attached to the first leg so as to secure the attachment clip to the panel.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for determining the density of insulation. For example, one aspect of the disclosure is a device that includes a sound generator and one or more sound sensors configured to detect sound that is generated by the sound generator and transmitted through the insulation to the one or more sound sensors. The device also includes a control system configured to cause the sound generator to generate the sound and use the sound detected by the one or more sound sensors to generate output that represents the density of the insulation. Another aspect of the disclosure is a method for using the device to determine the density of insulation.

Abstract: A heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) disk drive read/write head has the write head located adjacent the trailing surface of the gas-bearing slider with the read head located adjacent the write head, which is the reversed location from conventional read/write heads. This results in reduced write head protrusion during writing which allows for a reduced minimum fly-height for the slider. For a HAMR read/write head that uses a heater to protrude the read head closer to the disk during reading, the reversed location allows for better heater efficiency and thus reduced heater power.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for generating a set of recommended media works based on an identified seed media work. The seed media work is used to identify a set of co-occurring media works, which are defined as media works that have been intentionally interacted with within a predetermined time window as the seed media work by a single user. After the co-occurrence set is created, it is ranked and filtered. Media works identified in the co-occurrence set may then be selected based on their ranking.

Abstract: A heavy-duty material processing shears includes pivotally connected jaws and a hydraulic cylinder operatively extending between the jaws to open and close the jaws. One of the jaws includes a cutting blade with a substantially convex cutting edge. The cutting blade's surfaces intersect at an acute angle to define the cutting edge. The cutting blade's shape enables it to efficiently pierce and cut through large diameter structures such as conductor pipes. The other jaw includes a substantially concave portion that cradles the work piece. The shears include various features that facilitate subsea or above-water use of the shears to cut portions of a decommissioned oil platform.

Abstract: A sports top is adapted for releasably holding a fluid container. The sports top includes a body fabric for being worn on an upper torso of a wearer. The body fabric has a front and back joined together and defining a pair of armholes and a neckhole. A pocket panel is formed with the back of the body fabric, and cooperates with the body fabric to form a pocket. The pocket has an open mouth, closed sides, and a bottom. A shape-retaining insert opens the mouth of the pocket such that the fluid container is readily inserted by the wearer into the pocket of the sports top during wear.

Abstract: A double batted roof structure which consists in order of placement upon the roof rafters of a building, skip sheathing, a series of spaced vertically disposed members of metal first hat track, an insulative sheathing layer, a series of spaced horizontal members of second hat track, and conventional cement tiles.
