Abstract: A method of forming an inorganic oxide coating on a monolith article is disclosed. The coated monolith article is suitable for the treatment of an exhaust gas. The method comprises spraying, as a dry particulate aerosol, inorganic particles and a silicone resin to form a coating layer. The present invention also provides an uncalcined porous monolith article for use in forming a monolith article for the treatment of an exhaust gas. The uncalcined monolith article comprises a dry particulate composition comprising inorganic particles and a silicone resin.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of forming a coated monolith article for the treatment of an exhaust gas. The method comprises the steps of: retaining a porous monolith article in a coating apparatus, the porous monolith article comprising a plurality of channels for the passage of an exhaust gas, each channel having a gas-contacting surface; depositing cementitious particles as a dry powder onto the gas-contacting surface of at least some of the channels; and reacting the cementitious particles with a liquid or gaseous reagent in situ within the porous monolith article to provide the coated monolith article.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for measuring electrical parameters in a conductor without requiring a galvanic connection. A device includes a body and a clamp jaw assembly movable between an open position that allows a conductor to be moved into a measurement area, and a closed position that secures the conductor within the measurement area. The clamp jaw assembly includes sensors positioned inside a clamp jaw of the clamp jaw assembly. A user may apply a force to an actuator to move the clamp jaw assembly from the closed position into the open position so that the conductor may be positioned and secured in the measurement area. The clamp jaw assembly includes a visual indicator to guide the user to position the conductor within an optimal region in the measurement area. The clamp jaw assembly is sized and dimensioned to automatically position the conductor within the optimal region during measurements.

Abstract: A device operable to apply coloring dye to hair while coordinating parting of the hair can include a reservoir sized and shaped to receive a coloring compound, a dispenser head in fluid communication with the reservoir, the dispenser head operable to dispense the coloring compound, and a parting comb attachment removably coupled to the reservoir. Related methods of use are also provided.

Abstract: A plunger device includes, but is not limited to, a shaft; a plunger suction cup coupled to the shaft, which plunger suction cup flares from the shaft to a perimeter edge to define a concavity; and a receptacle centrally positioned within the concavity on an underside of the plunger suction cup for removably retaining one or more disposable plunger bags.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to a modular countertop system. In one embodiment, a countertop system includes, but is not limited to, a first countertop section composed of a foam core at least partly covered by a laminate layer; a plurality of interconnection receptacles embedded within the foam core; and a plurality of cut-line indications on a bottom surface of the first countertop section at positions that correspond to the plurality of interconnection receptacles embedded within the foam core, wherein cutting of the first countertop section along any of the plurality of cut-line indications exposes at least one of the plurality of interconnection receptacles.
