Abstract: A joint includes a shell that is hollow and at least partially spherical. The shell includes a plurality of shell rail sections including a first shell rail section. The first shell rail section includes a portion of an outer surface of the shell, a portion of an inner surface of the shell, and an opening edge section that defines a shell opening. The joint also includes a plurality of rotatable members including a first rotatable member. The first rotatable member includes an outer cup positioned at least partially outside of the shell and having an outer track surface, and an inner cup positioned at least partially inside of the shell and having an inner track surface. The first shell rail section is positioned at least partially between the outer and inner track surfaces.

Abstract: A ballast water treatment apparatus and a ballast water treatment system having a ballast water treatment apparatus are provided. The ballast water treatment apparatus includes a ballast water transport line configured to transport ballast water between a first location and a second location, the transported ballast water being passed through at least one injector, and a plasma generation device configured to be fed with a feed gas optionally comprising oxygen, and configured to generate a feed gas plasma by a streamer type discharge in a discharge area to provide a treated gas at a treated-gas outlet. The injector includes a liquid passage having an area constructed such as to increase a velocity of the passed-through water in a region of increased velocity, and an injector gas inlet provided in the region of increased velocity. The treated-gas outlet is in gaseous connection with the injector gas inlet.

Abstract: A trim component for a vehicle is provided. The trim component may include a trim panel, a backing layer, and a speaker. The trim panel may have tapered sidewalls extending from a trim reinforcement, offset from a periphery of the opening and terminating at an edge. The backing layer may be disposed along a first surface of the trim panel and wrapping around the edge to define a trim ring. The speaker may be attached to a second surface of the trim panel and spaced outwardly from the trim ring.

Abstract: A magnet fastener assembly includes a carrier having a body including a magnet seat with a conical bottom wall and an outer rim wall. A magnet cup is received within the rim wall overlying the conical bottom wall. Further a magnet is held in the magnet cup.

Abstract: A connector assembly is disclosed for making a connection between a tubular adapter component and a port connector which, once connected to each other, are not able to be disassembled. At least one of the tubular adapter component or the port component may have at least one cutout section and the other may have a projecting tab. A tubular sleeve is positioned on the port component and is non-rotatable and non-removable from the port component. The tubular sleeve has at least one flexible cam locking post. When the adapter component is slidably engaged with the port component the cutout section and the projecting tab engage to prevent sliding withdrawal of the adapter component from the port component. The flexible cam locking post also engages with the cutout section and prevents the adapter component from rotating.

Abstract: A remotely powered cutting assembly includes a power unit that may be worn. A cutting unit is provided and the cutting unit may be manipulated thereby facilitating the cutting unit to cut objects. The cutting unit is in mechanical communication with the power unit. Thus, the cutting unit may inhibit hands from being exposed to vibration associated with the power unit thereby inhibiting development of carpal tunnel syndrome.
