Abstract: An incident management system for managing an incident response may be provided. The incident management system may include an incident management (IM) computing device and a vehicle. The IM computing device may include a processor and memory, the processor may be programmed to receive a notification that an incident has occurred, the notification including sensor data and sub-system data. The processor may analyze the data to determine an incident response, the determination including categorizing the incident based on damage determined from the data. The processor may also identify a responding party based on the incident response and the category of the incident. The processor may further parse the data to generate a set of critical data. The critical data may be based on the responding party. The processor may transmit a message to the responding party including the critical data and the location of the vehicle.

Abstract: Compositions such as concrete compositions are described for use in building materials and products. The composition may comprise an aggregate composition comprising a particulate suppressing component and a cement. The composition may have an impact resistance of at least Class 1 as measured under ANSI/FM 4473. Methods of preparing and using such compositions are also described.

Abstract: Cutting apparatuses and methods of use thereof are discussed. For example, the cutting apparatus may include a chassis with one or more substrate interfaces and a scribe guide. The cutting apparatuses also may include a plurality of support pistons, a deformable support, a locking mechanism, and/or an anchor extension. The support pistons may be adjustable to generally conform to a substrate, such as a non-planar substrate.

Abstract: Polymeric composites and methods for preparing the composites are described herein. The polymeric composites can comprise a polymer, an inorganic filler, and a plurality of short length fibers. The polymer in the composites can include homopolymers and copolymers and can also include plastics, resins, elastomers, thermoplastics, thermosets, and hot melts. The inorganic filler can be fly ash. The short length fibers can have an average length of 650 ?m or less. Methods for making the polymeric composites are also described.

Abstract: A duct for enclosing post tension reinforcing tendons includes a first closed circumference conduit having at least one minimum internal radius. The conduit includes at least one corrugation including two longitudinally spaced apart end members wherein a radial outer surface of each end member defining at least one external radius. A reduced diameter portion is disposed between the two end members. The reduced diameter portion defining at least one intermediate radius larger than the at least one minimum internal radius and smaller than the at least one external radius.

Abstract: A resistive temperature detector assembly characterized by improved calibration means is generally provided. The assembly includes a primary resistive element, characterized by a temperature coefficient of resistance TCR1, for detecting temperature, and a calibration component characterized by first and second resistive elements, each operatively united with each other, and with the primary resistive element. The first resistive element is configured and/or adapted so as to permit selective passage of current through at least a portion thereof, with the first and second resistive elements characterized by temperature coefficients of resistance TCR1 and TCR2, TCR1 having a value intermediate the value of TCR1 and TCR2.
