Abstract: Decorative system composites and methods for forming the same are described. The composites employ new and improved support film systems that have enhanced tensile strength under typical thermoforming conditions, including elevated temperatures. An optional release film can be used in conjunction with the support film. The support film is particularly suitable for use with decorative films used to impart a surface effect, such as paint or color-containing film systems, to a thermoformed plastic component. The support film systems also possess enhanced bag/sag/drape control characteristics.
Abstract: A wastewater treatment system is provided that utilizes an equalization tank that stores hydraulic surge flows from the collection system and uses a waterwheel to transfer a maximum flow equal to plant design flow to the downstream treatment systems. The waterwheel aerates the raw wastewater in the equalization tank and prevents it from going septic and causing unacceptable odors. Because the waterwheel cannot transfer more than plant design flow to the downstream treatment elements, these elements will never experience a hydraulic overload.
Abstract: A magnetic tool holder includes a body having an area defining a cavity, the body including an inner surface and an outer surface, a magnet disposed on the outer surface of the body, wherein the magnet is operable to releasably adhere the body to a magnetic surface, an insert, wherein the insert is operable to be received within the cavity, wherein the insert includes at least one area defining a compartment, at least one tool, wherein the tool is selectively operable to be received within the compartment, and a cap, wherein the cap is selectively operable to engage an end portion of the outer surface of the body, wherein a magnet is disposed on an outer surface of the cap, wherein the magnet is operable to releasably adhere the cap to a magnetic surface.
