Abstract: A structuring fabric for use in a machine to produce a structured fiber web, such as a structured tissue fiber web, has a machine direction, a cross machine direction, and a thickness direction. The structuring fabric includes a woven base fabric with a web facing side and a machine side. A plurality of structuring beads of polymeric material are formed on the web facing side of the woven base fabric, the structuring beads being suitable to provide a visible structure to the fiber web that is produced on the structuring fabric. The structuring beads rest on an upper foundation surface of corresponding sublayer beads of polymeric material. The sublayer beads thereby provide a foundation for the structuring beads. There is also described a production method for producing such a structuring fabric.

Abstract: An extrusion die makes a structuring fabric which has structuring-beads resting on sublayer-beads. The extrusion die has a flat first surface and a flat second surface, the first and second surfaces contact each other along a contact line. The first and second surfaces are inclined with respect to each other. The first surface has a first nozzle of a pair of nozzles for extruding a sublayer-bead and the second surface has a second nozzle of the pair of nozzles for extruding a structuring-bead on top of the sublayer-bead. The first nozzle has a substantially rectangular shape and the second nozzle has a shape that resembles a square with all four side edges bulged inwardly. Both the first nozzle and the second nozzle are located in close proximity to the contact line. The first nozzle has a first symmetry axis that is perpendicular to the contact line.

The column is configured for gas chromatography. Wherein, the positioning system for the inlet liner and the column is configured to position the inlet liner and the column with respect to one another. The positioning system for the inlet liner and the column is configured to repeatably and optimally position the inlet liner and the column with respect to one another. The positioning system for the inlet liner and the column positions the inlet liner in a perpendicular orientation to the column.

Abstract: A joint made from a lightweight, thin metal connector plate with one or more through holes or cutouts, containing multiple sharp edges. The sharp edges, within the through hole or cutout, upset and engage the outer layers of a stick or sticks, or similarly essentially cylindrical and irregular members, when inserted into the connector plate and a force subsequently applied, by rotating or moving the stick or sticks off axis from the plate, to fasten the stick or sticks in place. The connector plate, being lightweight and compact is well suited to survival preparedness and outdoor activities.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving authentication input, at a device, that is sent to an aggregate service device; requesting file system data, retrieved by the aggregate service device, analogous to data stored on a remote device and data stored on a cloud storage device; receiving at the device, after providing the authentication input to the aggregate service device, the file system data from the aggregate service device; and displaying, on the device, a user interface in the form of a file manager application generated from the requested file system data.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: sending, from a device, input from a user requesting access to data retrievable by an aggregate service device; sending, from the device, input from the user selecting, from the aggregate service device, a selection of data; and sending a distribution command; wherein the distribution command comprises information related to distributing a pointer indicating the selection of data.

Abstract: A lightweight, thin metal connector plate with one or more through holes or cutouts, containing multiple sharp edges. The sharp edges, within the through hole or cutout, upset and engage the outer layers of a stick or sticks, or similarly essentially cylindrical and irregular members, when inserted into the connector plate and a force subsequently applied, by rotating or moving the stick or sticks off axis from the plate, to fasten the stick or sticks in place. The sheet metal construction provides for a wide rage of additional connection options, by means of easily incorporated features in the connector plate, when used in conjunction with common flexible connectors and solid fasteners. Using the connector plate, tools and structures can be quickly fabricated and then disassembled, from locally harvested woods or canes. The connector plate, being lightweight, compact and made from metal, is well suited to survival preparedness and outdoor activities.

Abstract: Systems and methods optimize energy savings associated with a kitchen hood system. Embodiments of the present invention relate to adequately exhausting a gaseous substance while minimizing the devotion of unnecessary energy. An identification module identifies a plurality of parameters associated with the kitchen hood system. Each parameter has an impact on the overall efficiency of the kitchen hood system. A weighting module weights each parameter. A weight associated with each parameter is representative of a predicted impact each parameter has on the overall efficiency that the kitchen hood system operates relative to each other parameter. An incorporation module incorporates the weight of each parameter into a reduction factor. The reduction factor is representative of an overall impact that the plurality of parameters has on the overall efficiency that the kitchen hood system operates.
