Abstract: The ends of the adjustable shoring beam can be adjusted to different heights along one or more securement tracks on a vertical post. The adjustable shoring beam engages the securement tracks on the vertical posts and each end is independently adjustable in one degree of freedom. Modular deck tracks on the vertical posts, adjacent to the securement tracks, allow for the engagement of a modular deck with a vertical post. The modular deck and securement beam are able to be moved independently past each other on the vertical posts by a user or an autonomous machine.

Abstract: A railcar with a plurality of transverse bunks along the railcar body for transporting metal coils. The railcar including a longitudinally extending frame with first and second opposed ends. The railcar also includes a pair of side walls extending the longitudinal length of the railcar and secured to the frame on opposed sides of the railcar, the side walls having an interior and an exterior surface. Each transverse bunk includes at least one bottom plate and first and second canted plates secured to the end edges of the bottom plate. The transverse bunks also utilize a transverse bunk reinforcing member with longitudinally opposed end edges, the reinforcing member welded to and spanning the entire longitudinal length of the lower surface of the first and second canted plates. The longitudinally opposed end edges of the bottom plates, first and second canted plates and bunk reinforcing members are welded to the interior surfaces of the laterally opposed sidewalls.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for optically remapping projected pixels to maximize the utilization and to optimize the distribution of remapped projection pixels to achieve optimal visual performance (generally uniform resolution and luminance). A device interposed between a projector and an imaging surface for optically remapping projected pixel locations with minimal aberration. When this device is interposed between a projector and an imaging surface, it changes the terminal location of each focused pixel such that it maximally coincides with the imaging surface, which is often a surface of complex curvature and very different from the native focal surface of the projector. One implementation of the technology includes a device that uses multiple optical surfaces.

Abstract: A trigger point treatment device comprises a convex side that has a working area against which a user may present trigger point areas for the application of self-applied pressure. A concave side on the other side of the trigger point treatment device is used for mounting the trigger point treatment device to a surface by orienting the concave side against the surface and applying pressure against the convex side to create negative pressure between said concave side and the surface.

Abstract: Two-layer tubing for housing an insert, comprising an extremely lubricious tubular inner layer and a tubular outer layer disposed radially outward of and surrounding the inner layer, wherein the co-efficient of friction of the inner layer is less than the co-efficient of friction of the outer layer. The outer layer consists essentially of a thermoplastic elastomer, preferably a polyolefin-based material, with a specific gravity averaging between about 0.91 and 0.97 g/cm3 and an MFI of 0.20-2.00 g/10 min. The inner layer consists essentially of an organosilicon compound with the empirical formula R2SiO, where R is an organic group. The inner layer is a copolymer consisting essentially of a polyethylene based material with a silicone-based additive to decrease the coefficient of friction to a point below that of the outer layer. The total material volume ratio of the outside layer to the inner layer is approximately 4:1.
