Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to a sorting method, and specifically relates to an automatic floorboard sorting method. An automatic floorboard sorting method includes the following steps: step 1: a training stage: training an artificial intelligence so that defects of floorboards in a black-and-white image and a color image can be automatically identified by the artificial intelligence; step 2: a using stage: using the artificial intelligence obtained by training in step 1 to perform identification, and performing sampling inspection to continuously iteratively upgrade the artificial intelligence. The present invention has the outstanding effects that an effective identification algorithm is formed by artificial intelligence training, and the algorithm is then used to carry out intelligent identification, so that the identification efficiency is high; the identification effect is good; the marginal cost is low; and it is conductive to the quality control for a floorboard finished product.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a shark resistant composite fabric that has an outer layer of a woven or knitted shark bite resistant fabric material; an intermediate layer neoprene. An inner layer of a woven or knitted shark bite resistant fabric material may also be provided.

Abstract: An anti-collapse inflatable mattress includes: an inflatable mattress body, which includes: a top sheet, a side sheet, and a bottom sheet that together define an inflatable cavity; the anti-collapse inflatable mattress further includes: a vertical partition layer disposed in the inflatable cavity and including: a first support frame and a second support frame that are disposed in a cross manner; and top portions of the first and second support frames are connected to the top sheet; bottom portions of the first and second support frames are connected to the bottom sheet; and the first support frame and the second support frame intersect in an X shape to form the vertical partition layer disposed between the top sheet and the bottom sheet. The anti-collapse inflatable mattress has a reasonable structure, strong practicality, convenient use, safety, and can prevent from collapse and extend its service life.

Abstract: A simple, versatile tool and accessory caddy, temporarily attachable to a wall, rollable across a floor and securely providing easy access to a tile installer of all needed tile installation tools and accessories.

Abstract: The telescopic hydrokinetic turbine system is a device meant for lifting the burden of manufacturing, installing, and maintaining hydrokinetic systems in the water. The device attempts to overcome the issues faced by present day hydrokinetic systems. To accomplish this, the device includes a light weight and easy to carry and install design, a telescopic pillar to align itself with the tide direction or even to leave the body of water for maintenance. Electrical parts are not submerged but instead remain onshore in a small cabin or housing. Further, by adding the use of multiple diffusers, the water flowing into the turbine is made smoother and the overload of water is able to be evacuated and swiped by the fins. The diffusers increase the blades working capacity while homogenizing the water flow and avoiding the phenomena of vibrations and cavitation, thereby increasing efficiency.

Abstract: Plasticizer composition for a construction polymers. The plasticizer composition includes 35-65% (by weight) of polyvinylbutyral and 65-35% (by weight) of one or more alloying copolymers. The construction polymer is e.g. polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, poly urethane, acryl butadiene styrene or polyethylene and/or mixtures thereof. The resulting polymer construction polymer constitutes 25-90% by weight and the plasticizer composition constitutes 10-75% by weight of the polymer blend composition. The components of the plasticizer composition are non-migrating and provide surprising physical properties of the final polymer composition.

Abstract: A system for repelling sharks is disclosed. Magnets are connected to a rod along its length. If necessary, the rod may be extended. Additionally, one or more flotation devices may be connected to the rod to manipulate or adjust the buoyancy of the system, depending on the user's objective(s). The rod is connected to a fishing line once a fish is hooked and is in close proximity to the boat or other structure from which the fisherman is fishing. The weight of the rod and magnets cause the rod to slide down to the end of the fishing line, where the rod will come in contact with the hooked mouth of the fish. As the fish struggles during the fight, the rod creates a protective magnetic field around the fish to deter sharks from engaging the fish.

Abstract: An oilfield band cutter is useful for removing a band from a tubing string structure as the tubing string structure is being pulled up from the well. The oilfield band cutter includes a base frame with a central hole, an axis extending vertically and centrally through the frame coaxial with the central hole. A tubing follower member is coupled to the base frame and is positioned against an outer surface of the tubing string structure. A cutter is coupled to the tubing follower member, the cutter including an underside having a cutting edge. The cutting edge is positioned to engage against and cut bands on the tubing string structure.

Abstract: A removably attachable adjustable cutting apparatus and method includes a cutting deck, a mounting plate, a main pivot point in the mounting plate and a main adjustable arm with a first end connected with the mounting plate at the main pivot point and with a second end connected with the cutting deck such that the cutting deck is adjustable from a horizontal to a vertical position and positions in between.

Abstract: A joist hanger typically includes one or more teeth which can be manually pressed into a header to hold the joist hanger in place on the header to free up a worker's hands so that a worker can nail the joist hanger to the header without having to manually hold the joist hanger in place while driving the nails. The joist hanger may also include a height-setting tab configured to engage the bottom of the header to set the height of the joist hanger relative to the header. The tab may be a break-off tab to allow the joist hanger to be used without the tab if desired.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a first-person view (FPV) headset comprising a shell and a fan plate coupled to the shell, wherein the fan plate comprises an attachment point configured to receive a headset accessory. The attachment point may comprise a hinge mount and/or a quick-release connector (e.g., comprising a pin, a screw, a button, a magnet). The attachment point may include an electrical connector for power and/or data. Also disclosed are accessories (e.g., an antenna, an antenna mount, a digital video receiver) with physical features that are complementary to the attachment point, thereby enabling them to be attached to the FPV headset.

Abstract: An automatic card shuffler to shuffle eight decks of cards (or less) and deal a round of Baccarat. The automatic shuffler comprises two pre-shuffle bins, each receiving approximately four decks of cards wherein the pre-shuffle bins are spaced apart from one another with card slides directing to a card-receiving area. Cards are randomly selected from the cards in each of the pre-shuffle bins and propelled onto the card slides directing the cards to the card-receiving area. Once a sufficient number of buffer cards (e.g., seven) have been deposited into the card-receiving area, a card flipper moves the seven cards against a face plate of an integral dealing shoe. A buffer-holder member maintains the buffer cards against the face plate for dealing as the card flipper returns to a home position to receive more shuffled cards while buffer cards are being dealt in a round of Baccarat.
