Abstract: A liner lock folding knife with an improved liner lock mechanism which provides increased safety in use. The locking mechanism provides for simple one-handed operation and the ability to tactilely know when the blade is securely locked in the open position.

Abstract: Methods for detection of heat-related symptoms can include use of a thermal sensor to obtain thermal data. Subsets of the thermal data can correspond with multiple subjects. The subsets can be compared to determine whether any of the subjects is a thermal outlier relative to the remaining subjects.

Abstract: The present invention features a grain distribution apparatus having a top loading intake hopper adapted for direct attachment to the discharge end of a grain auger or similar conveyor. A pair of hingedly connected, movable discharge spouts each receive a portion of the incoming grain stream. Some of the incoming grain is directly discharged from the bottom of the intake hopper. Intermediate discharge ports located along each of the discharge spouts also allow controlled amounts of grain to be discharged. All remaining grain is discharged from the terminal (i.e., distal) ends of the discharge spouts. By controlling the angle of the discharge spouts with respect to a horizontal plane, the pattern of grain discharge by the apparatus may be controlled.
