Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices processing feed material utilizing a microwave plasma apparatus comprising a powder ingress preventor (PIP). In some embodiments, the microwave plasma apparatus comprises a core plasma tube and a liner; and a ring structure comprising: a bearing surface, the bearing surface contacting an interior diameter of the core plasma tube; and an opening, the opening contacting an outer diameter of the liner.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to communicate via a weld cable are disclosed. An example welding accessory includes a first port to receive input power via a first weld cable, a power converter to convert the input power to output power, a second port to output the input power via a second weld cable, and one or more output switches to selectively divert the input power from the power converter to the second port.

Abstract: A cleaner head for a vacuum cleaner has a housing, an agitator mounted within the housing, and a drive mechanism for driving the agitator about a first axis A. The drive mechanism is mounted to the housing for rotation about a second axis R. The second axis R is offset from the first axis A. When the agitator is brought into contact with a surface to be cleaned, the surface exerts a reaction torque on the agitator that causes the drive mechanism to rotate about the second axis R.

Abstract: A stabilized active oxygen-generating antiseptic composition is disclosed including at least one of an antiseptic mixture or an antiseptic polymer. The antiseptic mixture includes a persulfate distributed in a matrix of a sulfate wherein the antiseptic composition is characterized by a ratio of the sulfate to the persulfate of at least 8:2. The antiseptic polymer is formed by the reaction of a sulfate, a persulfate, and amino acid in a reaction solution having a ratio of the sulfate to the persulfate of at least 6:4 and a ratio of the amino acid to the sulfate and the persulfate combined of 1:2 to 2:1. An antiseptic irrigation solution is disclosed including the antiseptic composition dispersed in a solvent. An antiseptic article is disclosed including an article and at least one of the antiseptic composition or an antiseptic coating formed from the antiseptic composition disposed on a surface of the article.

Abstract: An improved method in a computing environment for establishing access for individuals in at least one enterprise with one or more services provided by a plurality of service providers through the use of a Common Authorization Management (CAM) service is described herein. Through the CAM service, an enterprise administrator can group together one or more individuals at one enterprise, identify access rights to one or more services in the plurality of service providers for each group of individuals based on security data defined by a service provider administrator, and associate individuals from the subset of the plurality of groups at each enterprise with access rights to one or more services provided by the plurality of service providers.

Abstract: The present application discloses method of controlling plant pathogen(s), e.g. fungal and bacterial pathogens, on a plant, wherein a composition comprising Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FCC1256 deposited as ATCC No. PTA-122162 is applied to the plant, in particular to over-ground parts of the plant. The composition may comprise iturin and fengycin in a relative weight ratio of 1.3:1.0 to 3.0:1.0. The application also discloses an agricultural composition comprising the novel strain, a carrier, a surface-active agent and optionally a buffer, and a corresponding concentrate.

Abstract: An example tap off box is provided that includes a housing, a circuit breaker, a door, and a breaker actuator. The housing includes walls forming an internal enclosure. The circuit breaker is disposed within the housing. The door is secured to the housing to define a housing assembly, the housing assembly enclosing the circuit breaker. The breaker actuator includes a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end coupled to the circuit breaker within the housing assembly, and the proximal end extending outside of the housing assembly. The breaker actuator is capable of being moved at the proximal end to selectively toggle the circuit breaker from at least an ON position to an OFF position.

Abstract: An example busway system is provided that includes a first busway, a second busway, and a joint seal coupling the first busway to the second busway. The first busway includes a first end and an opposing second end, and the second busway includes a third end and an opposing fourth end. The joint seal includes panels configured to at least partially slide over the first or the opposing second end of the first busway, and at least partially slide over the third or the opposing fourth end of the second busway to couple the first busway to the second busway. The joint seal creates a seal at a joint formed by the first busway, the second busway, and the joint seal.
