Abstract: A rod holding device comprises an elongate low strut, an elongate pivot strut, a first range plate, and a second range plate. The first range plate is spaced from the second range plate and both plates are fixed to a superior end of the low strut which is positioned between the range plates. A pivot joint provides pivoting motion between the pivot strut and low strut for various storage and operational configurations. A clamp assembly engages the first range plate, second range plate and pivot strut for angular locking between the pivot strut and the low strut. A holder assembly comprising an upper rod holder and a lower rod holder is fixed to the pivot strut for holding rods therein. The rod holding device is releasable from an anchor fixed to a base panel.

Abstract: A system for dispensing water treatment compositions into a pool, spa, or other body of water is disclosed, which system provides a visible cue that the water treatment is properly dispersing and also provides a visible cue when the desired amount of water treatment has been dispensed. The system comprises a dispenser and the water treatment composition contained within the body of the dispenser, which dispenser and which system provides a readily visual cue that when the water treatment dose has been fully, or in some cases mostly or partially dispersed. For example, the dispenser sinks when fully dosed and resurfaces when empty, and in particular embodiments the water treatment generates visible gas bubbles and/or a color stream as the treatment dissolves.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an antenna, comprising (a) substrate; and (b) a composition, comprising, (i) an electrically conductive material; and (ii) a binder; wherein the composition is adjacent to the substrate.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for print production sheet identification. The method discloses: receiving a set of calibration sheets; collecting an array of pixel samples from at least one of the calibration sheets according to a set of pixel sampling rules to generate at least one reference sample array; capturing an image of a set of physical sheets generated from the set of calibration sheets; collecting an array of pixel samples from at least one of the imaged physical sheets according to the set of pixel sampling rules to generate at least one post-processing sample array; and comparing the post-processing sample array to the reference sample array to determine if the two arrays have less than or equal to a predetermined number of differences. The system discloses: a sampling module, operated by a processor, a scanner, and a comparison module, operated by a processor.
