Abstract: A burner for a flash smelting furnace. The burner has an adjustable nozzle to control the velocity of the combustion gas supply to the reaction shaft. The nozzle is defined by the burner injector and a surrounding structure that extends from the burner wind box through an opening in the burner block that integrates the burner with the furnace. The nozzle is adjusted by control means that is exterior of the wind box.

Abstract: The present invention embraces a method and an apparatus for preventing, treating or improving the efficacy of a variety of conditions and treatments including breathing difficulties, pitting peripheral edema, post-surgical adhesions, efficacy of CPAP/BiPAP and/or the delivery of inhaled medications. The method include raising and lowering the individual's head and feet in a series of steps and performing the steps of raising and lowering the individual's head and feet to substantially match a breathing cycle. The apparatus includes a platform for supporting the individual's body, a capital support mechanism for supporting and moving the platform, a capital drive mechanism, a pedestal support mechanism for supporting and moving the platform, and a pedestal drive mechanism. The method and the apparatus in operation typically move one or more axes of rotation while simultaneously rotating a platform about the one or more axes.

Abstract: Embodiments presented herein include a method for altering a first annotation associated with a media file. This method may generally include the technique for receiving the media file wherein the media file contains the first annotation which is associated with a first playback speed of the media file. A second playback speed is received for the media file. A second annotation is generated based on the second playback speed of the media file based on the first annotation associated with the first playback speed of the media file. The second annotation is associated with the second playback speed of the media file and, at the second playback speed, the media file concurrently plays the second annotation.

Abstract: A burner for a flash smelting furnace. The burner includes an injector having a sleeve for delivering pulverous feed material to the furnace and having a central lance within the sleeve to supply compressed air for dispersing the pulverous feed material in the reaction shaft of the furnace. The central lance has an annular slot at its tip for creating a substantially continuous air curtain.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an LED light bar that provides off axis lighting. The warning light system includes lights that do not need reflectors that rotate to provide good light effects.

Abstract: A ventilation system for a fuel cell power module is provided. The ventilation system includes a ventilation enclosure for evacuating fluids from the fuel cell power module, the ventilation enclosure having an air inlet for providing ingress of air to the enclosure. The ventilation system further concludes a ventilation shaft in fluid communication with the ventilation enclosure and an evacuation pump arranged to exhaust fluid from the ventilation enclosure to a desired location.

Abstract: Pneumatic rubber tire with a component comprised of a silica reinforced rubber composition comprised of specialized polybutadiene rubber, functionalized styrene/butadiene elastomer and cis 1,4-polyisoprene rubber.

Abstract: A hand product use benchmark is determined for a target institution based on observations of hand product use in a studied institution and relationships between the number of observed hand product uses and characteristics of the studied institution. The benchmark for the target institution is determined based on target institution characteristics and the relationships between institution characteristics and observed hand product uses of the studied institution. The benchmark for the target institution may be adjusted based on direct observation of hand product uses in the target institution and based on actual conditions on which the benchmark is based. Compliance with the benchmark is determined by comparison of activity within the target institution to the benchmark.

Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire has a chipper in place of a traditional apex, the chipper located between a carcass main portion and turnup portion. The chipper layer may be composed of a chopped carbon fiber and aramid composite reinforced elastomeric layer. The tire sidewalls have a radial height SH and a section width SW located within a range of 0.4 to 0.44 of the sidewall radial height SH measured from the bead core. The section width SW may further be located within a range of 0.1? to 0.3? inches from a radially outward end of the chipper layer in a radial direction. The tread may of a dual layer construction, having a radially inward first layer formed of a relatively low rolling resistance compound and a radially outward second layer formed of a compound containing silica.

Abstract: This invention relates to a pneumatic rubber tire having a rubber tread of a cap/base construction. More specifically, the invention relates to a tire having a tread with minimized, or inhibited, base peaking.

Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire having a circumferentially extending equatorial plane of the tire, the tire comprising a carcass, a tread radially outward of the carcass, the carcass comprising at least one carcass reinforcing ply, opposing bead portions, and opposing sidewalls, the carcass reinforcing ply having a main portion extending between the opposing bead portions and a pair of turnup portions, each turnup portion extending from one end of the main portion, each bead portion having a bead core, and a reinforcement cavity outward of each bead core, the cavity located between the main portion and one turnup portion of the at least one reinforcing ply, the tire characterized by: the tread comprising a radially outer tread cap and a radially inner tread base radially underneath the tread cap, the tread base comprising a rubber composition comprising from 15 to 45 phr of styrene-butadiene rubber; from 20 to 50 phr of polybutadiene; and from 10 to 35 phr of natural or synthetic polyisoprene, and from 35 to 65 ph
