Abstract: An epoxy grout composition for marine repairs contains: a liquid epoxy resin comprising up to 15 wt. % benzyl alcohol and having a viscosity of 220 to 1100 cps; a liquid hardener comprising up to 25% benzyl alcohol and having a viscosity of 50 to 85 cps and, wherein the total benzyl alcohol content of the combined resin and hardener ranges from 1 to 12 wt. %; and preferably, a particulate inorganic filler comprising 10 to 50 wt. % of particles under 150 ?m and 50 to 90 wt. % of particles between 150 ?m and 1.18 mm. The composition is particularly suitable for placement in the annular space between a marine structure and a fiberglass composite jacket. The composition may be provided in kit form, with premeasured containers of resin, hardener, and filler. A related method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A composition of matter includes: a first composition and a second composition configured to react with each other and provide an epoxy-based binder system; and aggregate for being disbursed into the binder system to provide a material; wherein a moisture content of the aggregate is controlled according to a desired strength for cured material. A method of application of the resulting epoxy based material is disclosed.

Abstract: A printing device has a number of discrete components in a path traversed by print media. The number of uses of each discrete component in the print path is individually monitored and recorded. The number of individual uses of at least one discrete component is provided at the printing device and/or over a communications network.

Abstract: A start-up guide is associated with a system, such as an imaging system, including shipping elements at a plurality of locations in or on the system. The shipping elements are of a type that should be removed from the system in a predetermined sequence prior to initial operation of the system. The start-up guide includes a removable location indicator at each of the locations at which shipping elements to be removed is located. A linear linking element sequentially connects the location indicators in an order corresponding to the sequence in which the shipping elements are to be removed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a maintenance interval for a media-handling mechanism is provided. The determination of the maintenance interval includes the number of media sheets transported by the media-handling mechanism along with additional media information, such as the media size or the media type for each media sheet transported.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for communicating with the operator that of an image forming device which reduces the probability of error in acquiring a replacement consumable and which alerts the operator as to the proper disposal of the exhausted consumable. The invention utilizes status sensors within the printing device to sense when a particular consumable is exhausted or nearing exhaustion. The printing device automatically prints a hard copy page for the operator informing the user of the status of the particular consumable and corrective action to be taken. This is accomplished by a firmware implementation within the image forming device where in addition to, or in lieu of, a traditional low level status light indicator, the low level sensor sets a flag within the firmware program of the printing device which causes one or more pages of information to be printed from the image forming device.
