Abstract: System for conveying and dispensing material may include a heated supply of the material, one or more heated hoses, a heated dispenser, and a pump having a heating device internal the pump. A pump for conveying liquid or liquefied material, for example chocolate, may include one or more heating devices disposed within the pump. A filter may also be provided with an optional internal heating device.

Abstract: A security doorstop has a base and a jaw pivotally connected to the base. A first end of the jaw has upwardly pointing teeth adapted to drive or press into an underside of a door, while the base has downwardly pointing teeth adapted to drive or press into a floor surface under the door underside. The actuator includes a screw and a threaded collar mounted on the screw so that, when the threaded collar is turned to be driven downward, operates to press downwardly on a proximal portion of the jaw so as to pivot a distal portion of the jaw upward, to press the jaw teeth upward against the door underside and the base teeth against the floor.

Abstract: An equipment mount for an x-ray apparatus is disclosed. The mount includes a main shield element, a peripheral shield element and a secondary shield element arranged to permit a mounting element to pass through the main shield element in a shielded manner. A support apparatus for an x-ray apparatus is also disclosed. The support apparatus comprises a separable bearing for translating a support part between a first position and a second position and an elevator mechanism for translating the support part from the second position to a third position, thereby separating the bearing.
