Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer-implemented methods for determining employee performance and providing employee learning. The system may include an input module that is utilized to input assessment data related to performance metrics for an employee, utilizing the assessment data from a plurality of evaluators. The system may further include a scoring component that creates a score of the currently assessed employee through a normalized method. The system may also include a display component that allows viewing of an employee's evaluation.

Abstract: Broadside displacement of sliding patio doors from their building framework for removal from the threshold track upon lifting of the doors in attempts at unauthorized entry is prevented with the use of downwardly-extending leg portions at each side of the door roller wheel assemblies, which leg portions extend downwardly of each side of an upstanding threshold track projection upon which the roller wheels ride. In one embodiment of the invention, the roller wheel assembly leg portions terminate in mutually inwardly-directed hook portions received in slightly spaced relation below rectangular shoulders defined by a rounded head formed along the upper end of the upstanding track projection, thereby preventing removal of the roller wheel assemblies from the threshold track for unauthorized entry.

Abstract: A line piercing valve assembly has a transverse cylindrical bore for the reception of a length of tubing to be pierced and an interior recess open to the outside disposed within which is a piercing needle and valve member depressable into the bore for flow communication with the pierced or tapped line, the piercing needle and valve member normally being spring urged away from the length of tubing into sealing contact with a valve seat. A depressor pin is removeably attached to the upper end of the piercing needle and valve member for depressing it sufficiently to pierce the tubing upon screw-threading advancement of an internally-threaded cap enclosing the open end of the interior recess, the interior bottom wall of the cap abuttingly engaging the outer end of the pin for this purpose. An "O" ring seated within an annular recess concentric with and open into the cylindrical bore seals against leakage of the tubing pierced.

Abstract: Electronic circuitry senses over-voltage and under-voltage within narrow threshold limits, and voltage interruption, in the energization circuit of a sensitive load, such as a refrigeration compressor motor load, to protect against overheating damage and burn-out. Setting to a nominal operating line voltage is provided for to obviate readjustment to the threshold voltages of a window comparator utilized to sense over-voltage and under-voltage.

Abstract: A line tap valve having a body portion integrally formed with opposed leg portions defining a saddle for the reception of a line to be tapped and bendable into embracing relation about the line to retain it securely in place during soldering or brazing, the line tap valve further comprising piercing needle mechanism separable from the body portion during the soldering or brazing operation, but adapted to be permanently assembled thereto after such soldering or brazing by a body screw-on cap and associated flare mechanism operative to simultaneously pierce the line and swadge a retaining ring for securing the piercing needle mechanism in place.

Abstract: A pressurized mixer and dispenser system for liquid shampoo and the like hair treating fluids wherein an electric pump is used to withdraw liquid concentrate directly from its supply container for admixing with pressurized tap water in a mixing chamber utilizing both jet stream interaction and filtering through a baffle element of a plastic mesh to achieve intimate mixing as diluted concentrate is drawn from the system by the use of one or more associated station dispensing guns, either singly or in simultaneous use, without the need of a mixed concentrate holding tank.
