Abstract: Magazine retention systems including a pouch, an anchor, an elastic cord, and a tension adjuster. The pouch defines a pouch interior and is configured to receive an ammunition magazine. The pouch includes sidewalls and a floor. The sidewalls define a pouch opening through which the ammunition magazine may be selectively placed within the pouch interior. The floor is coupled to the sidewalls opposite the pouch opening and cooperates with the sidewalls to define the pouch interior. The anchor is coupled to the pouch. The elastic cord is secured to the anchor and extends around the sidewalls. The tension adjuster is mounted to the elastic cord. The tension adjuster maintains the elastic cord under a selected tension. The tension adjuster and the elastic cord cooperate to selectively compress the sidewalls to secure the ammunition magazine inside the pouch interior.

Abstract: In one implementation, entries may be received in a social network platform. The entries may include an entry associated with a participant list. The participant list may identify one or more users as a participant for the entry. A filter request for a user may be received. The filter request may be a request to filter the received entries based on the presence of the user in the participant list. The received entries may be filtered based on the presence of the user in the participant list. The filtered entries may be provided to the user.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing and a papermaker's or industrial fabric, which includes the application of a polymeric resin material onto preselected discrete locations on a base substrate in a controlled manner in droplets having an average diameter of 10? (10 microns) to point bond yarns, bond spiral wound strips together or to bond layers of a fabric together.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a papermaker's or industrial fabric requires the application of a polymeric resin material onto preselected locations on a base substrate using an array which deposits the polymeric resin material in droplets having an average diameter of 10? (10 microns) or more. The preselected locations, for example, may be knuckles formed by the interweaving of the yarns making up the fabric or interstices between the yarns. The purpose of such precise application of the resin is to control functional properties of the fabric, such as permeability and abrasion resistance. The polymeric resin material is set by means appropriate to its composition, and, optionally, may be abraded to provide the polymeric resin material above the surface plane of the base substrate with a uniform thickness.

Abstract: Heddles for use within a harness frame of a weaving machine are provided. Each of the heddles includes a body formed from a liquid crystal polymer resin. The body forms at least one rod slot enabling engagement with a harness frame. The body also has an eyelet section with the eyelet section forming a yarn eye through which a yarn is capable of passing.

Abstract: The present invention is related to non-invasive methods and instruments to detect the level of analyte concentrations in the tissue of a subject by measuring electromagnetic radiation signatures from the subject's conjunctiva. The spectra of mid-infrared radiation emitted from a subject's body are altered corresponding to the concentration of various compounds within the radiating tissue. In one aspect of the invention, an instrument floods the conjunctiva of the subject with electromagnetic radiation in the mid-infrared range and measures analyte concentrations based on mid-infrared radiation reflected back to the instrument.
