Abstract: A prescription lens insert and methods of use are described, in which flexing a frame of a prescription lens insert, such that left and right rims of the frame are displaced mediolaterally, aligns respective larger ends of two keyhole apertures of the frame with left and right mushroom-shaped connector pegs protruding rearward from a pair of protective glasses. The prescription lens insert is then placed over the left and right connector pegs, such that distal heads of the connector pegs pass through the two keyhole apertures of the frame and the keyhole apertures are disposed adjacent shaft portions of the connector pegs. The frame of the prescription lens insert is then unflexed to align respective smaller ends of the two keyhole apertures with the left and right connector pegs, such that the distal heads prevent removal of the unflexed frame.

Abstract: Entity aggregation for security computing resources involves an aggregation covenant that conditionally conveys rights to aggregation members. The ruling covenant is defined for protecting one or more computing resources by overriding system-level and/or entity-specific rights (e.g., super-users). An aggregation configuration module defines an aggregation-specific instance of an entity (user/device, process, or data) that receives the conveyed rights. The entity can use the rights conveyed only through its corresponding instance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining whether a first electronic device detects a media item that is to be output by a second electronic device is described herein. In some embodiments, an individual may request, using a first electronic device, that a media item be played on a second electronic device. The backend system may send first audio data representing a first response to the first electronic device, along with instructions to delay outputting the first response, as well as to continue sending audio data of additional audio captured thereby. The backend system may also send second audio data representing a second response to the second electronic device along with the media item. Text data may be generated representing the captured audio, which may then be compared with text data representing the second response to determine whether or not they match.

Abstract: A tool for use in suspending operation of an oil or gas well driven by an artificial lift with a polished rod connected to a sucker rod in a tubing string. The tool includes a body having a lower narrow portion dimensioned to fit within the interior cavity of a tubing string inlet or an upper extension thereof, and an upper wide diameter portion defining a substantially horizontal landing surface dimensioned to rest upon the top edge of the tubing string inlet or the upper extension thereof. The tool includes one or more sucker rod-engaging structures and one or more longitudinal slots extending through the lower narrow portion and the upper wide diameter portion to allow passage of fluid or gas through the tool when the tool is supported on the top edge of the tubing string inlet or the upper extension thereof.

Abstract: The support tool described includes a body with a lower narrow portion dimensioned to fit within the interior cavity of a tubing string inlet or an upper wellhead extension thereof. The body has an upper wide diameter portion defining a landing surface substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the support tool. The landing surface is dimensioned to rest upon the top edge of the tubing string inlet or the upper wellhead extension thereof. The body includes a central interior longitudinal cavity spanning the length of the tool which is continuous with a longitudinal slot in the outer sidewall of the tool spanning the length of the tool. A sucker rod is held within the longitudinal cavity when the tool is supported on the top edge of the tubing string inlet or an upper wellhead extension thereof.

Abstract: A driving device includes an electric motor including a stator and a rotor rotatable relative to the stator, and a gear train connected to the rotor. The stator includes a cylindrical housing and an endcap mounted to an end of the housing; The gear train includes a gear mechanism with at least one stage, which includes a ring gear, a sun gear, planetary gears and a carrier. The ring gear is directly engaged with the endcap, which limits the position of the planetary gears of the gear train in an axial direction of the gear train.

Abstract: A method for supporting a sucker rod string and associated downhole pumping equipment on a tubing string inlet or an upper extension thereof, during preparation of a wellhead for suspension of an oil or gas well includes the steps of: a) lifting and supporting the sucker rod string and partially disassembling the wellhead to expose an uphole end of the sucker rod assembly; b) engaging a support tool to a portion of the uphole end of the sucker rod assembly; and (c) lowering the sucker rod string into the tubing string inlet or the upper extension thereof, until the lower narrow portion enters the tubing string inlet or the upper extension thereof, and the landing surface of the support tool rests upon the top edge of the tubing string inlet or the top edge of the upper extension thereof.

Abstract: A power strut for a vehicle lift gate, has a driver sleeve, a lead screw sleeve, a lead screw and a spring mounted in the lead screw sleeve. A gear reduction mechanism and a motor assembly are mounted in the driver sleeve for driving the lead screw. The motor assembly has a magnet mounting bracket fixed to the driver sleeve and a rotor disposed in the magnet mounting bracket. An end cover and multiple permanent magnets are fixed to the magnet mounting bracket. Each of the magnets is positioned between a corresponding pair of adjacent connecting portions and contacts an inner surface of the driver sleeve, thereby the driver sleeve provides a magnetic path between the magnets.

Abstract: The planetary gear train includes a first sun gear driven by the motor, a first ring gear, a first carrier, and a plurality of first planetary gears arranged at one side of the first carrier and meshing with the first sun gear and the first ring gear. The first sun gear, first planetary gears and first ring gear are helical gears so that meshing surface is increased. Helical teeth formed on an inner surface of the first ring gear mesh with the helical teeth of the first planetary gears. Therefore, the operation is stable and the noise is low. The planetary gears are made of plastic to further decrease the noise. The first ring gear is made by sintered powder metallurgy.

Abstract: Provided is a device for use by athletic teams, participants, and recreational groups for positioning in or in front of a goal to replicate a person acting as a goalie or defender. The device or “goalie stand” is durable, portable, mobile, and easily transportable for ease of use and movement or relocation. The goalie stand may be adjusted such that the height or width may be increased or decreased depending on the user's preference. The goalie stand may be a single continuous construction, or it may consist of two or more sections that are joined together by any one of a number of mechanical fastening means. The goalie stand may have adjustable components, such as a stick or arm, that can be positioned at various angles relative to the body of the stand. The goalie stand may be used on any surface, such as grass, dirt, artificial turf, or ice.
