Abstract: Improvements a portable elevated lighting system that uses LED lighting elements for illumination. The LED lights are selected based upon the light transmission angle so the fewest number of lighting elements are needed to provide an even flood or focus of light from the system. A reflector works as a heat sink to remove heat from the LED lights and extend the operation life of the LED's. Thermal paste and or a thermal pad is used between the LED lighting element and the frame to conduct sufficient heat away from the LED element. Two versions are shown as a stadium light and as a circular flood light that provides lighting without shadows or bright areas. The system can be operated from a generator or solar for charging batteries so the lighting can operate self-contained without producing noise.

Abstract: A dry cleaning apparatus, assembly and method provides for a dry flexographic plate cleaner apparatus that is configured as a unitary subassembly to be used within a printing press assembly. The cleaner apparatus and subassembly comprise a plurality of motorized drives such that, among other things, a cleaning roller can be moved towards and away from the rotating printing plate so as to achieve optimum spacing. This also allows the press operator to make adjustments to the cleaner apparatus and subassembly without having to stop the printing press assembly. The apparatus and subassembly is further removable from the printing press assembly as may be desired or required for service. Additionally, the apparatus, assembly and method of the present invention also provides for use of at least one controller for electronically controlling the apparatus in accordance with the method and implementing optimized cleaning capabilities and functionalities.

Abstract: An impact resistant device is provided comprising a flexible support matrix and a plurality of energy absorbing elements operatively connected to the support matrix, each element comprising at least one ceramic material and at least one strain rate sensitive material. The impact resistant device can be worn as body armor to protect the wearer from high velocity projectiles.

Abstract: A flexographic printing system for printing flat corrugated sheets using radiation curable inks. An ultraviolet curing unit is positioned after each of the printing stations. The ink applied at each station is partially cured before a different color ink is applied at the next printing station.

Abstract: A bone substitute for use in impact testing of a structure simulating the human body which includes a member fabricated from epoxy resin and having a lengthwise dimension, and a fiberglass sheath embedded in an outer circumferential portion of the member, the sheath having glass fibers oriented along the length of the member.

Abstract: A structure that includes a plurality of cells of a cured resinous material. Each cell is joined to at least one other cell.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively providing stock shares that entitle rights to use a property. A management entity oversees and selectively schedules use of the property according to individual stock shares. In one implementation, the use is the dividend provided to the stockholder. In another implementation the use schedule is created by receiving use requests from stockholders and scheduling use of the property according to which stockholder first requested the property for the scheduled use period. In another implementation, a lottery system is used to assign use dates or periods to the individual shareholders. In yet another implementation, preference to use dates/periods is made based on the number of stock shares or the type of stock shares (e.g., shares of a preferred stock) owned by the stockholder. Stock shares are exchanged at a public or electronic exchange.

Abstract: A slide bearing surface element is disclosed which can be used in prosthetic joints or mechanical bearing devices. The element has a composite coating made of a matrix of epoxy resin with particles of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 dispersed therein. Cu or stainless steel particles are included to increase thermal conductivity.
