Abstract: An accidental discharge avoidance device is provided. The device includes a base member larger than a trigger well of a weapon, a first protrusion extending from the base member and a second protrusion extending from the base member with a trigger channel formed between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are configured to couple within the trigger well of the weapon with a trigger of the weapon located within the trigger channel when the first protrusion and the second protrusion are coupled within the trigger well of the weapon. In operation the device avoids an accidental discharge of the weapon when picking it up by providing a tactile barrier to accessing the trigger. The shooter can access the trigger by applying a force to the first protrusion of the device to remove the accidental discharge avoidance device from the trigger well.

Abstract: An engine intake manifold assembly (10), including a first component (12) having a first mating surface (14) and a second molded plastic component (16) having a second mating surface (18). The second molded plastic component (16) is adhesively bonded to the first component (12) with an adhesive (20). The adhesive bond strength exceeds the strength of the second molded plastic component (16).

Abstract: A method to join pipe is disclosed using a curable one or two part adhesive composition comprising an effective amount of a boron containing initiator compound such as an organoborate, a stabilized organoborane complex, or combinations thereof; one or more monomers, oligomers, polymers or mixtures thereof having olefinic unsaturation which is capable of polymerization by free radical polymerization; and optionally a decomplexing agent.

Abstract: In one embodiment the invention is a system and method for bonding parts to an engine or a transmission which comprises contacting with the part or the location of the engine or the transmission to which the part is to be attached an adhesive comprising a polythiol ether having two or more reactive groups capable of reacting with a curing agent and a curing agent for the polythiol ether and thereafter contacting the part with the engine or transmission such that the adhesive is disposed between them and curing the adhesive.
