Abstract: A system for determining price models of a print market port including a processor and a computer-readable storage medium in communication with the processor, wherein the computer-readable storage medium comprises one or more programming instructions for: partitioning a job dataset into a plurality of categories, each of the plurality of categories having a pricing model; determining one or more factors within the job dataset that influence a price of each job; developing an input/output model for each job in the job dataset that influences the price of the job; performing an iteration to compute a prediction error for each job in the job dataset that influences the price of the job; removing one or more jobs from a subsequent iteration that include prediction errors that exceed a prediction error threshold; and performing a plurality of iterations on remaining jobs until a predetermined average error prediction is reached.

Abstract: An abdominal tissue support for supporting excess abdominal adipose tissue away from the femoral crease to facilitate the maintenance of a sterile field for femoral puncture procedures. The abdominal tissue support may generally include a waist belt, at least one support apron affixed to the waist belt and a strap arrangement. The abdominal tissue support may also include a movable support apron slidable along the length of the waist belt. The strap arrangement may be securable at a patient's shoulders or to a fixture located near the patient's head.

Abstract: A converter assembly includes an outer shell defining an internal cavity that receives first and second catalyst substrates, which are spaced apart from each other to form a gap. A solid inner ring with a sensor boss is installed within the internal cavity. The solid inner ring is positioned in the gap between the first and second catalytic substrates. The solid inner ring provides insulation within the gap. The sensor boss extends radially outwardly beyond an outer surface of the outer shell. The sensor boss is welded to the outer surface of the outer shell to prevent exhaust gas leakage.

Abstract: An exhaust assembly includes a first pipe with a ball portion and a second pipe with a flare portion that is positioned in an overlapping relationship with the ball portion. The ball portion and flare portion are slidable relative to each other to allow alignment adjustment between the first and second pipes. A connector assembly includes a first connector member supported by the first pipe, a second connector member supported by the second pipe, and a clamp member that is used to serviceably connect the first and second pipes together. The first connector member includes a first plurality of fingers that are alternated with a second plurality of fingers on the second connector member. The clamp member is received within a groove formed about an outer circumference of the first and second connector members when the first and second pluralities of fingers are aligned with each other. The clamp member is easily removed for service operations as needed.

Abstract: A resinous curable composition comprises: (A) an epoxy resin; (B) at least carboxylic acid anhydride; (C) at least one inorganic filler, wherein at least 80% of the particles of the filler have a particle diameter size between about 10 to about 40 microns; and (D) at least one inorganic filler, wherein at least 80% of the particles of the filler have a particle diameter size greater than about 90 microns and is preferably either sand and/or granite chips. The curable composition may be hardened in the presence of a heat activated catalyst to render a scratch resistant hard surface, suitable for use as a countertop or laboratory bench top. The composition may contain as high as 89% inorganic filler.
