Abstract: A head unit device for controlling motion of an object includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF) and a piston. The piston is housed within the chamber and exerts pressure against the STF from a force applied to the piston from the object. The STF is configured to have a decreasing viscosity in response to a first range of shear rates and an increasing viscosity in response to a second range of shear rates. The piston includes at least one piston bypass between opposite sides of the piston that controls flow of the STF between the opposite sides of the piston to selectively react with a shear threshold effect of the first range of shear rates or the second range of shear rates.

Abstract: A device that uses a UV sensing element capable of converting photons from a high temperature thermal source, to an electrical current. Such current is then compared with the theoretical current to be obtained from a source with the dimensions of the actual source. The theoretical current is obtained by integrating.

Abstract: A removable hot box is disclosed that includes a lower hot box portion, comprising: a lower housing comprising a plurality of lower clamping structures to clamp the lower housing to a press and locating structures to provide repeatable placing in the press; and a lower heating platen, received within the lower housing, wherein the lower housing or the lower heating platen comprises lower electrical connectors to provide a lower electrical connection to a heating system and lower cooling connectors to provide a lower cooling connection to a cooling system; and an upper hot box portion, positionable above the lower hot box portion and comprising: an upper housing comprising a plurality of upper clamping structures to clamp the upper housing to the press; an upper heating platen, received within the upper housing.

Abstract: A system and method for providing proof of a digital identification of a user which may include activating, on a mobile computing device, a bank application and a digital identification service provider application, and which may allow the bank application to have access to user accounts after the bank application receives a digital identification from the digital identification service provider application in order to provide proof of identify with speed and security.

Abstract: A pet watering device is shown with down spouts from an enclosed container for water. The enclosed container has a removeable top with a spring loaded door therein for refilling the container. Each down spout has a ball and seat valve at the lower end thereof which the pet can push with its tongue to get water. The enclosed container is mounted in a frame that may be adjusted vertical. One way of adjusting is with telescoping legs. Another way of adjusting is with a slot hooking over a wall mounted upward channel.
