Abstract: A screeding machine includes a base unit positionable at framework that defines a concrete structure and a screed head assembly movably mounted at the base via an extendable and retractable mechanism. The screed head assembly includes a grade establishing member, a vibrating member, and elevation actuators for adjusting elevation of the screed head assembly. The screed head assembly is positioned at a screeding location via extension of the extendable and retractable mechanism and is movable over the uncured concrete in a screeding direction via retraction of the extendable and retractable mechanism. Adjustable wings disposed at and in front of the grade establishing member in the screeding direction are movable along the grade establishing member. When one of the ends of the screed head assembly is positioned at a frame portion, the wing at that end of the screed head assembly is moved to position the wing at the frame portion.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a system for extracting hydrogen from an organic feedstock, comprising: a thermolyzer supplied with the organic feedstock and adapted to heat it up the feedstock to a temperature of at least 800° C. while conveying it inside a gasification chamber by an auger and to collect a thermogas, a duct line to convey the thermogas to a high temperature reformer exposing it to a temperature comprised between 1200° C. and 1,400° C. and releasing a high temperature reformed gas, a duct line conveying the high temperature reformed gas to a heat chamber of the thermolyzer, the heat chamber comprising a chamber outlet to release the reformed gas after circulation in the heat chamber, a duct line conveying the reformed gas from the chamber outlet to an installation adapted to separate hydrogen from the reformed gas, and a hydrogen storage for the hydrogen produced by the installation.

Abstract: A battery comprising a battery element housed between a battery cover and a back plate, wherein the battery element, battery cover, and back plate have a slight curvature or contour adapted to conform to a curvature or a contour of a load-bearing platform. Further, the battery comprises flexible omnidirectional leads.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method sends a playlist that includes links to segments of media content. At least a portion of the links include a variable, and a presentation of the media content that is attributable to a request for the media content is created by insertion of values for variables in the playlist. The values are associated with a first version of the media content or a second version of the media content. The method receives a request for a segment and the request contains information from a link included in the playlist. The information includes data based on a value provided for insertion into the link as a substitution for a variable included in the link. The value is associated with the first version of the media content or the second version of the media content. The segment that corresponds to the link is sent.

Abstract: A wearable pouch operable to hold at least one portable battery pack and other power or communications equipment. The wearable pouch includes a main body with a front side, a back side opposite the front side, at least one sealable opening, and at least one opening for at least one lead from the at least one portable battery pack secured within the wearable pouch.

Abstract: A product [11] includes a foldable clamshell-type housing [10] folded to a closed position to contain a pre-formed sensor pad [17] that was formed in situ therein when the housing [10] was in an open position, prior to closing. The housing [10] has an enclosed volume [12] bounded by relatively thin and flexible walls [23, 34], and outwardly extending tabs [18] which facilitate opening. This structure enables the user to easily open the housing [10] to remove the sensor pad [17], a cured silicone composition, by pushing inward on an outer surface of the outer wall [34] of a base section [15] of the housing [10]. This product [11] reduces the amount of manipulation needed to place the sensor pad [17] in a desired position, for example, during installation of a rain sensor system for a vehicle windshield.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles for a portable power case are disclosed. The portable power case is comprised of at least one battery and at least one PCB. The portable power case has at least two access ports, at least two leads, or at least one access port and at least one lead and at least one USB port. The portable power case is operable to supply power to an amplifier, a radio, a wearable battery, a mobile phone, and a tablet. The portable power case is operable to be charged using solar panels, vehicle batteries, AC adapters, non-rechargeable batteries, and generators. The portable power case provides for modularity that allows the user to disassemble and selectively remove the batteries installed within the portable power case housing.

Abstract: An electrical assembly includes a metallic component having a bottom portion that is buried in the earth, a top portion that is above the earth, and an outer surface. A water-impermeable electrically-conductive covering is applied to the outer surface at the bottom portion and is in electrical contact with the earth. The covering includes a water-impermeable polymeric matrix that protects the metallic component from corrosion, and a particulate carbonaceous material that is dispersed in the polymeric matrix and that allows for the metallic component to be electrically grounded.

Abstract: A system for supplying power to power consuming devices includes a portable battery pack including one or more rechargeable batteries enclosed in a pouch and a generator operable to convert kinetic energy to electrical energy. The one or more batteries include at least one battery element and a battery cover including one or more channels to accommodate wires of one or more flexible omnidirectional leads and a compartment sized to receive the at least one battery element.

Abstract: A detector for detecting the removal and/or insertion of a weapon out of and/or into a holster. The detector may transmit a message each time the weapon is removed from the holster. A recording system may receive the message and determine whether or not it will begin recording the data it captures. A detector may detect the change in a magnitude of an inductance and/or an impedance of a circuit to detect insertion and removal of the weapon into and out of the holster. The holster is configured to couple to the detector to position the detector to detect insertion and removal of the weapon. An adhesive tape may couple a detector to a holster.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to medical cabinets and medical cabinet systems are provided. In particular, they include structure and systems that incorporate or expand medical cabinet systems with platform-based (open access) devices that can assist with managing and stocking of medical products in controlled environments (e.g., rooms having restricted access such locks or key codes to allow authorized personnel). They also include providing convenient expansion to temperature regulated products by adapting refrigerators or freezers using specialized shelf top platform devices that operate inside the refrigerator or freezer by way of the integration of algorithms and/or hardware.
