Abstract: An apparatus for conveying stickers to lumber stack.

Abstract: A shifter assembly selects a first mode and a second mode of a transmission for a vehicle. The shifter assembly includes a housing and a shift lever movably coupled to the housing and pivotable relative to the housing. The shift lever includes a body and a cap defining an aperture and being coupled to the body. The cap is rotatable relative to the body between a first and a second orientations. The shift lever further includes a toggle device partially received by the cap in the aperture with at least a portion of the toggle device being moveably coupled to the body between a rest and a depressed positions. The shift lever further includes an element mounted to the toggle device and rotatable with the cap between the first and the second orientations. The shift lever further includes a sensor system configured to interact with the element to detect rotation of the cap between the first and the second orientations.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine is coupled to an electric power generator. An exhaust manifold for the engine includes an exhaust gas conduit. A housing includes a catalyst in fluid communication with the conduit to receive exhaust produced by the engine. The catalyst is operable to reduce one or more constituents of the exhaust.

Abstract: A rugged UHF RFID tag comprising a UHF RFID tag, an overmolded cap, and a base, wherein the UHF RFID tag is secured to a top portion of the base and wherein the overmolded cap encapsulates the UHF RFID tag and the top portion of the base and associated methods.

Abstract: Anti-accretion additives utilize silicone chemistry to prevent bituminous and heavy oil materials from sticking to metals surfaces such as drill bits, drillstring, casing and the like. Organopolysiloxanes and/or copolymers thereof are added directly to an aqueous drilling fluid or are first diluted in a solvent for adding to the drilling fluid. Further, an alkyl polyalkylene oxide may also be added. If a silicone oil is used as the solvent, the anti-accretion additive has the increased functionality of minimizing the amount of bituminous or heavy oil material which is retained in the drilling fluid when returned to surface and permits removal of the bituminous or heavy oil materials with the solids using conventional solids control equipment.

Abstract: A wing assembly includes a main wing and a slat movable between stowed and deployed positions. The main wing includes a panel movable to a retracted position when the slat is in the stowed position, such that the slat outer surface and a wing upper surface define a first continuous outer mold line shape. The panel may further be movable to an extended position when the slat is in the deployed position, such that an outer surface of the panel and the wing upper surface define a second continuous outer mold line shape.

Abstract: Compositions for chemically removing sulfur deposits from reservoir formations, production tubing, flow lines, and other production equipment due to the production of sour gas and/or oil including reaction products of diamines and aldehydes at a mole ratio between about 1:1 and about 1:6, and methods for making and using same.

Abstract: There is provided a wind tunnel model measuring system for use with a wind tunnel. The system has a measuring assembly with an automated movable structure with at least one measuring device mounted thereon and configured for placement within the wind tunnel, and a measuring controller device located outside the wind tunnel to control the automated movable structure in order to remotely move the automated movable structure from a storage position within the wind tunnel to one or more operating positions with respect to a wind tunnel model within the wind tunnel and to allow the at least one measuring device to determine a relative position of at least one movable first component with respect to a second component, both of the wind tunnel model. The system further has a processing device configured for placement outside the wind tunnel and coupled to the measuring controller device.

Abstract: A substantially liquid gellant formed as one or more reaction products of a metal carboxylate or metal carboxylate amine salt, one or more organic acids, an ester which drives the reaction so that the reaction products are asymmetrical in structure, and a rheology modifier which preferentially interacts between the reaction products for prevent solidifying of the gellant reaction products until such time as the gellant is mixed with the fracturing fluid containing an activator after which the reaction products preferentially interact with the activator to gel the fracturing fluid. The resulting gellant is capable of gelling a hydrocarbon base fluid in less than about 30 seconds.

Abstract: One or more frame slots to each transceiver are allocated for communication within each message cycle. The number of frame slots allocated can be dynamically adjusted to accommodate variable traffic loads per transceiver, and an offset of the frame slots within the message cycle is preferably predefined to provide a uniform distribution among the transceivers. The design of the transceiver is independent of the particular application, having at least one programmable parameter that controls the number of frame slots allocated within the message cycle. By controlling the number of frame slots allocated to a transceiver, the amount of inactive time, and hence battery life, can be controlled. When a conflict occurs among multiple transceivers having pending messages at the same frame slot, the allocation of the frame slot to a transceiver is based at least in part on the resultant lag time to each transceiver.
