Abstract: A rebar cage assembly system, a modular jig system and method for forming a rebar cage are disclosed. The rebar cage assembly system includes a modular jig for forming a rebar cage. The modular jig includes a fixture base, and a plurality of jig subcomponents. The jig subcomponents each having a jig attachment feature and a rebar retention feature. The rebar retention feature is configured to detachably receive rebar segments. The plurality of jig subcomponents are customizably arrangeable on the fixture base to form a modular jig to cooperatively position rebar segments in the rebar retention features. The rebar cage assembly system further includes a robotic system having a first robot and second robot and a plurality of rebar segments. The first robot is arranged and disposed to independently retrieve and position jig subcomponents and rebar segments. The second robot is arranged and disposed to join rebar segments to form a rebar cage.

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method used to ergonomically remove and manage perspiration on the human body during exercise, manual labor, or any activity that requires the removal of perspiration. The apparatus is constructed from moisture absorbing, wicking and elastic materials fashioned as a sleeve or wrap and positioned on the body at locations that the wearer would remove sweat through natural body movement.

Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to implement a place and route tool to synthesize a clock tree in a layout design of an integrated circuit based on timing constraints for the integrated circuit. The computing system can select a portion of the clock tree to present in a schematic connectivity presentation based on a conformance of the portion of the clock tree to timing constraints for the clock tree. The computing system can compress the other portions of the clock tree into the compacted representation based on the selection of the portion of the clock tree. The compacted representation can retain a hierarchical connectivity of the other portions of the clock tree. The computing system can generate the schematic connectivity presentation of the clock tree that includes the selected portion of the clock tree coupled to at least one compacted representation of other portions of the clock tree.

Abstract: A structured wrap includes an inner support member and a cover enclosing the support member. The wrap can be attached to a cylindrical, cubic, rectangular or similar object, such as a vehicle roof/luggage rack, rear spoiler or a standalone component, such as a fence or pole. The wrap can allow for advertising or promotion of personal interests, as well as protection of the rack or component itself from scratches or other damage from normal use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing the degradation of reactive compounds during transport of such reactive compounds from one location to another location by electropolishing the surface that the reactive compound contacts during transport, minimizing the internal surface area to volume ratio or the transport equipment, and minimizing or eliminating the dead volume in the transport equipment to reduce the degradation of the product during transport.
