Abstract: A folding exercise rack system which may be both adjusted with respect to a wall and adjusted between a folded position for storage and an extended position for use. The folding exercise rack system generally includes an exercise rack that is both adjustable with respect to the wall and foldable between extended and retracted positions. The exercise rack generally includes a pair of inner support members which are adjustably connected to the wall, and a pair of outer support members which are adjustable between an extended position and a retracted (e.g., folded) position. In the extended position, the outer support members are distally spaced away from the inner support members and wall. In the retracted position, the outer support members are positioned adjacent to the wall.

Abstract: An agricultural data collection framework is provided in a system and method for tracking and managing livestock, and for analyzing animal conditions such as health, growth, nutrition, and behavior. The framework uses ultra-high frequency interrogation of RFID tags to collect individual animal data across multiple geographical locations, and incorporates artificial intelligence techniques to develop machine learning base models for statistical process controls around each animal for evaluating the animal condition. The framework provides a determination of normality at an individual animal basis or for a specific location, and generates alerts, predictions, and a targeted processing or application schedule for prioritizing and delivering resources when intervention is needed.

Abstract: A moisture-curable composition is shown and described herein. The moisture-curable composition comprises a moisture-curable resin and a moisture scavenger selected from a cyanoalkylalkoxysilane. The inclusion of the cyanoalkylalkoxysilane in the moisture-curable composition has been found to effectively scavenge moisture and control the rate of curing and viscosity increase in the composition.

Abstract: Systems and methods include providing an annular seal stack for an assembly. The seal stack is disposed within an annulus formed between a probe and a housing of the assembly and configured to provide a radial seal between the probe and the housing. The seal stack includes a first support retainer, a first lipseal, a first seal support system comprising at least one support ring disposed between the first support retainer and the first lipseal, a second support retainer configured to support the first lipseal, a second lipseal, a second seal support system comprising at least one support ring disposed between the second support retainer and the second lipseal, and a third support retainer configured to support the second lipseal.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a nonwoven polyamide structure having antimicrobial properties comprising: nonwoven polyamide fibers comprising less than 4000 ppm zinc dispersed within the nonwoven polyamide fibers; and less than 2000 ppm phosphorus. The fibers have an average fiber diameter of less than 25 microns; and the polyamide structure demonstrates a Staphylococcus Aureus reduction of at least 90%, as measured by ISO 20743-13.
Abstract: A curable silicone adhesive composition comprising a heat stable siloxane-imide copolymer is shown and described herein. The composition includes an alkenyl silicone, a silicone hydride based cross linker, hydrosilylation catalyst and additives that is curable at relatively low temperatures and shows good heat stability.

Abstract: A copolyamide composition comprising a statistical copolyamide containing 70-99 wt % of diamine and dicarboxylic acid repeat units and 1-30 wt % of lactam or AA-BB repeat units, whereby incorporation of the comonomer lactam or AA-BB unit reduces the crystallization rate (longer crystallization times) while maintaining (1) high melting point, (2) low potential plate out, (3) low oxygen permeation, (4) high tensile strength and (5) puncture/tear resistance.
Abstract: The present application is directed to a closure for a container having a generally annular neck defining a container opening having a central axis, the closure including: an annular top wall having opposed inner and outer surfaces; a generally annular skirt extending downwardly from the inner surface of the top wall, the generally annular skirt having opposed outer and inner surfaces; and an elastic annular seal member extending downwardly from an inner surface of the top wall, the annular seal member adapted to engage the inner surface of the neck of the container.
Abstract: Top repairable gas-charged pulsation dampener designs include one or both of a threaded cover for bladder replacement and a standardized bladder with a double convex, anti-extrusion bladder button. The threaded cover, which speeds up bladder replacement over bolt-on covers, preferably has a two-piece construction to reduce torsion on the bladder neck. The bladder design, which includes a double convex, anti-extrusion bladder button, facilitates use of the same bladder design in both top repairable and bottom repairable gas-charged pulsation dampeners.
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for a clutch hub that includes a plate with a top surface and a bottom surface that extends outwardly to an outer edge. An annular ring portion with an exterior surface extends upward from the top surface of the plate at a distance from the outer edge and forming an outer flange between the exterior surface and the outer edge. A plurality of splines disposed on the exterior surface of the annular ring portion.
Abstract: A threshing concave for an agricultural combine for harvesting different types of crops is disclosed. The concave has a curved frame comprising two curved end members extending between two side members, a plurality of threshing bars, each threshing bar extending between the two curved end members, and a plurality of threshing plates, each threshing plate extending between the two curved end members.
Abstract: A method of operating a dual bidirectional input to single bidirectional output transmission is disclosed. The method includes providing said transmission. The method includes activating a computer controller capable of receiving torque data signals from a first bidirectional torque input, a second bidirectional torque input, and a single bidirectional torque output. The method includes determining torque input from said first and second bidirectional torque input, and determining whether to transmit torque to said single bidirectional torque output. In cases where it is so determined, the method involves transmitting torque to said single bidirectional torque output.
Abstract: Bladders/containers designed to hold a meaningful amount of material (in any state: solid, liquid or gas) to conductively absorb heat from the human body. In addition, the material may be consumed by the user wearing the bladder/container, thus providing a source of hydration for the user. The bladders/containers would also enhance impact and/or ballistic protection of the user.

Abstract: An exercise rack enclosure system for providing an exercise rack which is concealable within an enclosure. The exercise rack enclosure system generally includes an enclosure including an interior space. An exercise rack is pivotably connected to the enclosure within the interior space. The exercise rack is adjustable between a collapsed position, in which the exercise rack is completely positioned within the interior space of the enclosure, and an extended position, in which the exercise rack extends out of the interior space of the enclosure for use. The enclosure may optionally include one or more doors for concealing the interior space and exercise rack when not in use. Various attachments may be stored in the enclosure and removably connected to the exercise rack for performing a wide range of exercise moves.
