Abstract: A combination packaging that is certified for shipping dangerous goods via marine or ground transportation, where the combination packaging only utilizes a readily recyclable fiberboard material and flexible plastic material as components of the combination packaging that contain the dangerous good (e.g. not including a dispenser when present). The combination packaging includes an outer packaging, two or more intermediate packagings, an inner packaging. The combination packaging provides increased efficiency in shipping volume (as compared to a conventional combination packaging having rigid inner packagings). The combination packaging also provides increased environmental efficiency (as compared to conventional combination packaging having metal or non-cyclable components) as both the outer packaging and at least one intermediate packaging are readily recyclable.

Abstract: A belt audio system includes a belt and a buckle assembly having a first buckle body and a second buckle body. The first buckle body includes hooks extending outward from the front surface, and the second buckle body including a pair of openings for receiving the hooks. An entertainment device having a magnet on the back surface is connected to the first and second buckle bodies. The entertainment device having a speaker, and a wireless transceiver for receiving content from an external device to be played on the speaker. A decorative buckle cover includes a magnet along a back surface and decorative elements along the front surface. A beverage container having a device receptacle is provided and receives the entertainment device when the entertainment device is not secured onto the buckle assembly.

Abstract: A laser welding system for joining a first workpiece to a second workpiece includes a laser welder configured to emit a laser beam at a power to form a weld to join the first workpiece and the second workpiece at a weld location. The laser welding system includes a plasma protection fixture coupled to a surface of at least the first workpiece. The plasma protection fixture defines an opening configured to receive the laser beam. The opening has a perimeter that surrounds and is spaced apart from the weld. The plasma protection fixture has a height above the surface of at least the first workpiece about the perimeter of the opening that is defined based on the power of the laser beam.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing and installing a blade for a wind turbine is provided, comprising a first set of cable guides mounted within the nacelle, and a second set of cable guides positioned on an exterior surface of the rotor hub. An upper pulley block is suspended from a first hub flange and a second hub flange, wherein the upper pulley block is positioned above a third hub flange in a position for accepting the blade. A winch is positioned at a ground level, and the winch contains a lifting cable guided by the cable guides, and then reeved through the upper pulley block and a lower pulley block on a blade holding bracket, allowing the lower pulley block to be raised and lowered relative to the upper pulley block. The blade holding bracket attaches to the root end of the blade, and the lower pulley block is allowed to pivot and swivel relative to the blade holding bracket.
