Abstract: An ice machine including a cabinet with a cabinet door coupled thereto through a hinge assembly. A frame within the cabinet includes a base portion and a support portion supporting a hopper that contains an ice dispensing interface. A housing is operably coupled with the cabinet door and defines an ice harvesting chamber having a bottom (floor) portion containing multiple levels as defined by separation of the bottom portion from the top of the housing and a drain. A chute is coupled with the housing and is in communication with the ice dispensing interface. A container hanging assembly is coupled with the chute. An attachment rod, coupled to the housing, is positioned on a side of the chute opposite to the container hanging assembly.

Abstract: Optical machine readable coded labels are provided that are backward compatible with legacy optical readers and forward compatible with improved optical readers. The labels have symbols that are readable by the legacy optical reader to decode only a first set of information, but are readable by a second type of optical reader to decode both the first set of information and a second set of information.

Abstract: A tool having a hand gripping region for rotational attachment to an irrigation system with the tool having soft bumps thereon spaced from each other and affixed to the hand gripping region to cushion the user's hand as an irrigation component is field attached to an irrigation system.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of repairing leaky permeability separatory devices, said devices comprising a membrane in the form of a multiplicity of hollow fibers having end portions potted in one or more resinous tubesheet bodies and terminating in an accessible surface of said tubesheet. According to the present invention, each surface opening communicating with a given leak in a tubesheet or fiber is selectively plugged by applying heat and pressure to the tubesheet and fiber material in the immediate vicinity of each such opening. The openings are first located by sealing the tubesheet/fiber assembly in an appropriately adapted jacket and applying pressure to a fluid in the portion of the jacket volume exterior to the fibers.
