Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a gas flow delivery apparatus and systems of an additive manufacturing system. The gas delivery apparatus comprises a first conduit having an elbow and an outer diameter DA and at least one second conduit fluidly coupled to the first conduit at a mixing region. The mixing region is positioned downstream of the elbow of the first conduit, and the mixing region is at least a distance Z from a center line of the at least one second conduit to the elbow. A diffuser is fluidly coupled to the first conduit downstream of the mixing region, the diffuser comprising an outlet having a perforated plate.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring concentration of oxidation ions in a solution includes a conduit that contains the solution at least temporarily, a pH sensor associated with the conduit and configured to provide a pH signal indicative of a pH of the solution, an oxidation reduction probe (ORP) associated with the conduit and configured to provide an ORP signal indicative of an oxidation reduction of the solution, and a controller configured to receive and process the pH signal and the ORP signal, wherein the controller calculates a concentration of oxidation ions in the solution based on the pH and ORP signals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cushion device for supporting a large animal such as a cow, a horse, a buffalo, a sheep, a goat, a pig and so forth. The cushioning device includes a top and bottom surface interconnected by a ‘drop stitch’ structure and a chamber. Contained within the chamber of the cushioning device is a filling material. The filling material includes a gaseous compound, a liquid or a mixture of a gaseous compound and a liquid. Additionally, the present invention also relates to the methods of transporting and installing the cushioning device. The device is shipped to the installation site absent the filling material. During installation a controlled mixture of dual phase fluids such as water and inert gas are disposed into the cushioning device, creating a gelatinous and gaseous filling material.

Abstract: A drying device for a wall structure includes an inflatable drying mat (1) of lightweight plastic sheeting and a floor engaging portion (2), a wall engaging portion (3), an outwardly facing portion (4) that extends between an outer edge portion (5) of the floor engaging portion (2) and an upper edge portion (6) of the wall engaging portion (3) to define a triangular cross-section when in use and connected to an air mover. In use of the drying device, a deflated mat (1) is laid on a floor and against a wall structure to be dried. The air mover is then powered up whereupon the mat (1) is deployed automatically against the wall to a height in excess of one meter without any outside assistance.

Abstract: The present invention provides a drying device for a wall structure, the device comprising an inflatable drying mat (1) of lightweight plastic sheeting and generally comprising a floor engaging portion (2), a wall engaging portion (3), an outwardly facing portion (4) that extends between an outer edge portion (5) of the floor engaging portion (2) and an upper edge portion (6) of the wall engaging portion (3) to define a triangular cross-section when in use and connected to an air mover. The drying mat 1 also comprising opposite end portions (7, 8) that closes the mat (1) to form an inflatable configuration when in use. The floor engaging portion (2) and the wall engaging portion (3) are both provided with a multiplicity of apertures whereby, when the mat (1) is deployed against a wall structure and an air mover is attached to the mat (1) air passes through the multiplicity of apertures to dry the wall structure.

Abstract: A connector with a plurality of filter contact terminals having a ground wafer molded from plastic material and plated with metal and having integral spring tines for engaging the filters on the contact terminals to provide an electrical connection. The ground wafer may be seated in a cup-shaped ring made of metal and including a series of integral spring members formed in its outer circumference for engaging the shell to provide good connections for the filters.

Abstract: A marine engine is supported by four flexible mountings each comprising a rigid inner member, connected to the engine, a flexible layer around the inner member, an outer member surrounding the flexible layer, and a support connected to an engine bearer in a boat, the support having opposed walls between which the outer member is located, and clamping devices for clamping the outer member to the support in various positions along the opposed walls.

Abstract: Document filing apparatus comprising two rails adapted for mounting on opposite side edges of a drawer or the like container for converting the drawer to contain documents or files in a suspended filing system and a plurality of tabs which are attachable to the documents or files and which can be slidably mounted on the rails. Each rail comprises a channel shaped portion having two side walls joined by a web, which is adapted to embrace the edge of the drawer to locate the rail on the drawer edge, and a flange projecting outwardly from one of the side walls of the rail to slidably carry an end of each tab. The flange has a horizontal guideway surface for the tab and a rib spaced from the side wall of the rail which locates in a recess formed in the tab to locate the tab on the rail and resist accidental dislodgement of the tab from the rail.
