Abstract: An adjustable vehicle cover configured to fit a variety of vehicles. The adjustable vehicle cover includes a one-piece body and at least first and second engagement features. The one-piece body includes at least a top, oppositely disposed first and second sides adjacent to the top, and oppositely disposed first and second ends. The at least first and second engagement features are disposed intermediate the first and second ends and extend in a direction generally transverse to a longitudinal direction. The at least first and second engagement features are operable to convert the one-piece body between at least a first configuration and a second configuration that is longer than the first configuration in the longitudinal direction. The at least first and second engagement features are joined in the first configuration and are spaced apart in the second configuration.

Abstract: A cover for a steering wheel of an automobile includes at least one fastening member that has a plurality of resilient, generally C-shaped clips that are spaced apart to define an outer periphery. Each clip includes a base portion and first and second oppositely disposed arms. The clips are configured to be received over the rim of a steering wheel, whereby the cover may be selectively attached to and removed from the steering wheel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for recovering individual polymers, such as nylon and polyolefin, from a nylon-containing source such as a carpet. The process includes the steps of shredding a nylon fiber source such as a carpet wherein the shredding is conducted in the presence of a liquid that wets the carpet, granulating the wet shredded carpet slurry, further diluting the granulated slurry by adding additional water, subsequently refining the fibers and removing substantial amounts of polypropylene fibers from the slurry, preferably using a lamella clarifier, and recovering the nylon fibers by hydrocloning the slurry.

Abstract: A computer network is provided that includes a wide area network and a local area network. The local area network includes an application server, a plurality of client computers, a content delivery server, and a network-attached storage device. The content delivery server has data storage capacity. The content delivery server is operable to be implemented as a supplemental application server when the file server is inoperable. The network-attached storage device has data storage capacity wherein the wide area network transmits data for storage by the network-attached storage device through the content delivery server during a period of low demand for bandwidth between the local area network and the wide area network.

Abstract: An improved dual wheel caster assembly is provided having a limited slip frictional clutch to create rotational coupling between the two wheels, but with sufficient slippage to allow adequate directional maneuverability. The caster has improved resistance to flutter due to the rotational coupling between the wheels.

Abstract: A tracking nozzle is provided for applying a viscuous tire sealant to the interior of the tire. The tracking nozzle may be adjusted to move across the interior surface of the tire in a presettable number of steps, each step being of a preselected width. The amount of sealant applied in each of these discrete sealant application locations may be varied in order to produce a sealant layer of any desired thickness and contour.
