Abstract: A modular coupling system allows a combined gas canister and integral regulator to be used with a wide range of different utilizer devices such as flow meter, conservor or delivery apparatus. A first coupling part is secured to the pressurized gas canister permanently, and carries a combined main delivery valve and venting valve to allow connection of the gas utilizer to the canister by means of a second coupling part formed integrally with or attached to the gas utilizer device by a simple push and twist action which, upon fitting, closes the venting valve; and opens the main delivery valve in sequence.

Abstract: A head section for a rotary cutting device includes a body portion that includes a blade passage defined between a blade entrance opening and a blade exit opening. A blade fastening mechanism is positioned in the blade passage and includes a blade engaging member. The blade engaging member is biased by a biasing mechanism to extend across the blade passage at a blade install position. The blade engaging member is movable against the bias to clear the blade passage. A blade having a mount aperture proximate an insertion end thereof is secured to the body portion when the mount aperture occupies the blade mount position and the blade engaging member extends through the mount aperture. The blade can be installed in and removed from the head section without tools, simply by advancing the blade through the blade passage.

Abstract: A generic mechanism and model are provided to capture and store configuration profiles for resource monitors such that monitors can be flexibly deployed, configured, modified, and removed using appropriate sets of parameters and values. As an integral part of resource provisioning, this generic mechanism will require only a generic set of workflows and a generic data model to provision monitors. The provisioning system of the present invention captures and stores response parameters and values from monitors created during initial deployment such that these parameters can be used for later modification and removal of these monitors.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement, for securing a protective component to a chute or conveyor structure, having a hook-shaped formation which engages with the protective component, a first beaded section located in a first undercut slot in a supporting base, and a retaining mechanism which abuts a side of the first beaded section and which has a second beaded section located in a second undercut slot in the base.

Abstract: A guide bushing for a tensioning rod in a vertical pulverizer includes a bushing body having a substantially cylindrical interior bushing surface configured and adapted to moveably engage a tensioning rod of a vertical pulverizer. The bushing body is divided circumferentially about the bushing surface into a plurality of sections joined together. The sections are configured and adapted to separate from one another for installation and removal of the bushing body about a tensioning rod of a vertical pulverizer.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of this invention encompass a method for purifying a low purity steviol glycoside composition. In particular, this invention relates to a method for purifying low purity steviol glycoside compositions to obtain substantially pure steviol glycoside compositions comprising approximately 95% or greater steviol glycosides and approximately 75% or greater rebaudioside A with a single crystallization step.

Abstract: An illustrative gripping accessory or thumb is adapted for use with a machine having a tool, for example, a backhoe bucket attached to an extendable or non-extendable arm of a dipper stick. The accessory or thumb can be releasably attached to the machine and includes a pair of grip members that can be pivotably coupled to the distal pivot pin connecting the bucket and extendable arm and a grip linkage coupled between each grip member and the intermediate pivot coupling the extendable arm and the rotatable linkage coupled to the bucket rotation cylinder. Thus the use of the gripping accessory with a bucket requires no welding or other permanent modification of the machine and can be stowed or removed when not in use.

Abstract: A generic method and model for capturing and storing configuration profiles for each resource in a provisioning system. As a resource is utilized in a specific environment, the configuration values can be changed as needed to reflect different stages in the life cycle of the resource, such as configuration, and modification.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, data processing system and computer program product for generating an association between a configuration item and an account. In one illustrative embodiment, the computer implemented method comprises selecting the configuration item requiring account association to create a selected configuration item, and selecting a set of rules for the selected configuration item to form a set of selected rules, wherein the selected set of rules is used to associate configuration items to accounts. Further the method determines whether a match is present between the set of selected rules and the selected configuration item, and responsive to determining that a match is present, obtains account mapping information for an account identified by the match, and associates the selected configuration item with the account using the account mapping information.

Abstract: A trunnion seal assembly for joining a stationary inlet/outlet box of a ball tube mill to a rotational interior of the ball tube mill includes an outer ring component configured to be mounted to an outer wall of the stationary inlet/outlet box. An inner ring component is joined to the outer ring component substantially concentrically with the outer ring component. A flexible pad seal is configured to be joined to the outer wall of the stationary inlet/outlet box proximate outer ring component. The pad seal includes a first annular sealing surface. A mill head extension ring configured to be joined to a rotational mill head is located proximate to and substantially concentric with the inner ring component. The mill head extension includes a second annular sealing surface sealingly engaged with the first annular sealing surface of the flexible pad seal.
