Abstract: Embodiments of spool covers adapted for covering spools of wire mounted on corresponding shafts for preventing tangling of the wire during use, comprising a first cover portion and a second cover portion, each cover portion adapted to engage the shaft adjacent sides of the spool of wire without removing the spool from the shaft, the first and second cover portions being one of rebuildable, comprised of disposable cardboard, and comprised of side walls wherein one of the side walls has attached thereto at least one collett portion adapted for retaining the spool centered within the first and second cover portions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing processes, apparatuses, software, and systems for controlling and/or treating gas borne debris in an atmosphere of a 3D printing system.

Abstract: Cover adapted for covering a spool of wire mounted on a shaft for preventing tangling of the wire during use, comprising a first cover portion comprising an outer wall and side walls, and a second cover portion comprising an outer wall and side walls adapted to attach to the shaft adjacent sides of the spool of wire without removing it from the shaft, the first and second cover portions being adapted for mating to cover the wire spool on the shaft, the second cover portion comprising an opening for allowing the wire on the spool to pass through the outer wall and allowing the spool of wire to rotate freely on the shaft to dispense the wire in a tangle-free manner from the spool as the wire is pulled through the opening.

Abstract: A method and system to authorize a locomotive engineer to move a train along the track in a non-signaled territory wherein a non-verbal movement authority is generated, converted to verbal form via voice synthesis, communicating to the designated train, and accepted or rejected by a locomotive engineer on such train. Secure codes can be utilized to regulate reception of, and/or acceptance or rejection of, the movement authority.

Abstract: A bullet holder for extracting a bullet from the cartridge casing that includes an elongated body portion having arm members pivotally connected at one end and movable toward one another in a pincer-type movement. Intermediate the arm members is positioned a bullet retaining portion having a plurality of oppositely positioned recesses forming holes of selected diameter corresponding to selected bullet calibers. The assemblied cartridge casing and bullet is secured in the chuck of a loading press. The chuck is moved to an initial position for engaging the bullet by the holder in a selected one of the holes formed by the recesses. The arm members are squeezed to frictionally engage the bullet so upon downward movement of the cartridge casing, the bullet is retained stationarily positioned to separate the cartridge casing from the bullet.

Abstract: A return mailer bearing computer readable information including a mailing panel of a first surface porosity, adapted to bear an address of a returnee, further including a folding sealing flap along one transverse edge that is adapted to form a transverse edge of the envelope when it is folded and sealed. Also included is an information panel of a second surface porosity, bearing machine readable information on at least one side, which includes two transverse perforations, wherein the perforations are separated by a longitudinal distance sufficient to span the portions of each side of the information panel bearing information of interest to the returnee. The two panels are joined by an adhesive along the two longitudinal segments of their periphery to form the two longitudinal edges of the envelope. The adhesive maintains the mailer in sealed condition during mailing, while not contributing to gnarling or tearing of either panel upon separating the two panels upon opening.

Abstract: Two planes of dissimilar droplets, an oil phase and a syrup phase, are sequentially centrifugally distributed onto a cascading assortment of dissimilarly sized and shaped pulverulent food particles of varying densities, an aggregate thereof being formed by the action of high speed paddle means; the aggregates being transformed into agglomerates by tumbling in an undulating rotating zone.
