Abstract: Magnetically-assisted mechanical gear systems and other power transmission systems, and related methods of operation and assembly, are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, such a system includes a driving gear, a driven gear, and a first magnetomotive force (MMF) source that generates a magnetic flux. A first portion of the flux is communicated between at least one driving gear teeth and at least one driven gear teeth so that one or more magnetic forces are exerted between the gears. When the first rotational movement of the driving gear alternates from being in the first rotational direction to being in a third rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, then the driven gear is driven by the one or more magnetic forces so that the second rotational movement also alternates, and a first amount of backlash movement between the driving and driven gears is avoided or reduced.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for routing output information to one or more of a plurality of output devices. In one implementation, output information that includes information to be presented and a location information identifying where the output information is to be presented may be generated by an output host. The output information is received by an output router that determines, based on the location information, an output device and routes the output information to the output device for presentation.

Abstract: A woven pool cover fabric that includes a repeating geometric pattern with a plurality of first lines in a warp direction and plurality of second lines in a fill direction that cross one another to form a plurality of repeating geometric shapes. The plurality of geometric shapes being a first geometric shape and a second geometric shape that alternate across each of the first lines and second lines. The woven pool cover fabric further includes a water flow rate of about 10 gallons/minute per square foot to about 200 gallons/minute per square foot as measured by ASTM D4491 test method, and has a shade coverage of about 80% to about 99%.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a geotextile fabric including a plurality of wicking yarns each having a plurality of fibers with inter-fiber voids therebetween; wherein the inter-fiber voids of the plurality of wicking yarns has a water flow of about 0.05 milliliters per day per denier (ml/day/denier) to about 1.0 milliliters per day per denier. Further, the present invention is directed to a method of making such geotextile fabric.

Abstract: A composite geosynthetic fabric includes a woven fabric and a nonwoven fabric adhered to the woven fabric. The nonwoven fabric includes a plurality of fibers, with each fiber of the plurality of fibers of the nonwoven fabric being about 2 to about 18 denier per filament. A portion of the fibers of the nonwoven fabric extend through the woven fabric and is fused together on a face of the woven fabric that is opposite a nonwoven face side of the woven fabric.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a geosynthetic structure includes a base resin polymeric matrix including an admixture. The geosynthetic structure further includes a graphene material impregnated into the base resin polymer matrix and in a final amount of about 0.10 weight percent to about 5 weight percent. The geosynthetic structure also includes a stabilizer impregnated within the base resin polymer matrix.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a three-dimensional composite fabric including a three-dimensional woven fabric, and a nonwoven fabric arranged on a first, on a second side, or on both sides of the three-dimensional woven fabric, wherein the composite fabric retains at least 15% thickness at a compression of about 200 pounds per square foot (psf) to about 1000 pounds per square foot. Further, the present invention is directed to a method of making a three-dimensional composite fabric and a method of installing the three-dimensional composite fabric in a landfill.
