Abstract: A colored cementitious composition is provided that is composed of hydraulic cement and a liquid coloring suspension. The liquid coloring suspension for cementitious compositions contains polycarboxylate dispersant, pigment, and a polysaccharide thixotropic additive. The liquid coloring suspension has improved viscosity consistency, improved shelf-life, anti-settling and anti-sludging properties, and decreased polycarboxylate dispersant requirements.

Abstract: This invention is child-friendly craft toy consisting of tools for making paper chains by folding rectangular sheets, of paper. Included are means to make one or more precisely located and parallel creases in said rectangular paper to facilitate folding into a strip. Also included are means to make (three) precisely located and parallel creases in said strip to facilitate folding the strip into an interlocking paper chain link for assembly into paper chains. A crease tray is used in conjunction with a tapered stylus to make sharp precisely located creases in paper rectangles, said crease tray including at least one stop gauge to make precisely located ceases in said strip by pressing the strip against a gauge stop and against the opposite corner of said crease (the) tray. The outer segment creases of said paper strip are placed outside the quarter points of said strip to avoid fold interference and facilitate assembly.

Abstract: A combustor assembly includes a convergent segment followed by a divergent segment to advantageously improve combustion. The combustor assembly includes a first segment beginning at a forward end that transitions to a second segment past a transition segment in a direction along a combustor axis toward an aft end. The reduction in cross-sectional area within the first segment provides desirable fuel and air mixing properties. The convergent first segment in combination with the divergent second segment decreases residence time of fuel-air mixture within the combustor chamber that decreases production of undesirable emissions from the combustor assembly.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a combustor module including an annular combustor having a liner assembly that defines an annular combustion chamber having a length, L. The liner assembly includes a radially inner liner, a radially outer liner that circumscribes the inner liner, and a bulkhead, having a height, H1, which extends between the respective forward ends of the inner liner and the outer liner. The combustor has an exit height, H3, at the respective aft ends of the inner liner and the outer liner interior. The annular combustor has a ratio H1/H3 having a value less than or equal to 1.7. The annular combustor may also have a ration L/H3 having a value less than or equal to 6.0.

Abstract: A process for designing, and flavoring a shelf stable baked meal, cereal meal, freeze dried meal, chocolate meal, caramel meal, popsicle meal, and ice cream antithesis meal by taking a commercial brand name product and improving it by adding foodstuff nutrients to make it an American meal. When combined they meet the predetermined requirements of the National School Lunch program, the United States Department and the Dash Eating plan food intake requirements as defined in present invention. The said meals takes an existing commercial product, an example is candy bar and adds the necessary foodstuff components to the candy bar such that when combined the final product meets the food intake requirements of said American meal. The method of producing shelf stable various meals comprise using existing known methods and technologies of preparing foodstuff and keeping it fresh and ready to eat until opened.

Abstract: Reinforcing packaging strips comprised of low melt point, low density polyethylene coated on at least one surface of a substrate. Corrugated paperboard packaging comprising a fluted paperboard medium having in selected areas a reinforcing liner, wherein said reinforcing liner has an adhesive surface which when heat activated adheres to the medium surface. The resulting structure has high strength and tear resistance in designated areas.

Abstract: A system and method of planning an operational task of a workplace collects data related to at least one task. An ergonomic risk score of each task is generated. A determination is made if the ergonomic risk score is acceptable. An option is provided to a user to proceed with the plan if the ergonomic risk score is acceptable. An option is provided to the user to redesign at least a portion of the plan.

Abstract: A process for preparing, designing, making and flavoring a shelf stable carbonated beverage by taking a commercial brand name product and improving it by adding foodstuff nutrients to make it an American meal. When combined they meet the predetermined requirements of the National School Lunch Program, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the Dash Eating Plan food intake requirements as defined in present invention. The beverage Said meal takes an existing commercial product, an example is a candy bar, and adds the necessary food stuff components to the candy bar such that the final product meets the food intake requirements for an of said_American meal. The method of producing a shelf stable liquid foodstuff product of the present invention comprises injecting under pressure carbon dioxide gas or a mixture of gases into said foodstuff at low temperatures. Said beverage remains shelf stable in packaging until opened.

Abstract: A method of adaptively operating a medical triage system includes triaging a plurality of persons using a set of triage questions to select particular dispositions from a plurality of triage disposition. Triage-related data is acquired as a result of the triaging of the plurality of persons. The triage-related data is analyzed and the set of triage questions or the dispositions are modified based on the analysis of the triage-related data.

Abstract: A workpiece processing system having, a first assembly for performing at least a first processing operation on a workpiece at a first location and having a frame, a nesting assembly, a bolster assembly upon which a workpiece can be supported at the first processing location, and a transfer assembly. The bolster assembly is repositionable relative to the frame by movement along a first path between first and second positions. The transfer assembly is capable of moving a workpiece to/from the first processing location along a second path from/to the nesting assembly. The nesting assembly has first and second workpiece support elements, each with a length. The first and second workpiece support elements are each repositionable relative to the bolster assembly between a) an operating orientation wherein the lengths of the first and second workpiece support elements project generally in the direction of the second path, and b) a stored orientation.

Abstract: Self-contained snowmobile straightening system with a repair table. The table includes a two-location anchoring system assuring that both the chassis and the suspension of the snowmobile are immobilized in place on the table so that repair work can be accomplished by adjustable and removable pulling equipment structurally associated with the repair table. The chassis is immobilized in place by at least one pair of opposed slide rail clamps which lock both slide rails of a snowmobile in place on the table surface of the straightening system. The snowmobile suspension system is anchored by opposed pairs of running board clamps, while pulling towers and braces, in combination with hydraulic power rams, afford a repair craftsman many necessary multi-directional pulls.
