Abstract: Helmet assemblies with flip-type welding visors are provided. A representative helmet assembly includes: a grinding shell having a grinding view port; a welding visor mounted to the grinding shell and having a welding view port; and a connector extending between the grinding shell and the welding visor. The welding visor is rotatable between lower and upper positions. In the lower position, the welding view port is aligned with the grinding view port. In the upper position, the welding visor is rotated toward the back of the grinding shell such that the line of sight of the wearer is unobstructed by the welding view port. Interaction of the grinding shell, the connector and the welding visor, responsive to rotation of the welding visor between the lower and upper positions, provides a biasing force to urge the welding visor towards a selected one of the positions.

Abstract: Sample-collecting devices, articles and methods of use are disclosed. Premoistened sample-collecting devices comprise 1,2-propanediol as a humectant, which promotes the retention of a liquid solution on the sample-collecting device during storage. 1,2-propanediol as humectant can be compatible with proteins and other reagents used to detect an analyte.

Abstract: An electrical insulation layer including microparticles and having a mesoporous structure; and a battery device including a cathode, an anode, an electrical insulation layer including microparticles and having a mesoporous structure, the electrical insulation layer being arranged between the anode and the cathode, and an ion conductive composition.

Abstract: The adapter comprises a clip with a groove, and a rack that engages with the groove. The clip attaches securely to an edge of a fabric, for example, a panel on a baseball cap. The rack includes an angle adjuster, on which a brow guard, welding helmet, or other protective gear can be mounted.

Abstract: A file, including visual information or auditory information may be uploaded to a processing device. Respective portions of content of the file may be identified fin compressing and saving at respective bit rates. A number of component files may be created, compressed and saved, at the respective bit rates, based on the identified respective portions of content of the file. A network page, including a reference to the uploaded file, may be created. The reference to the uploaded file, in the page, may be replaced with references to the compressed, saved component files and the network page may be saved. A processing device of a user may request the network page and the compressed, saved component files, A reasonable facsimile of the file may be reproduced based on an aggregate of the compressed, saved component files.

Abstract: Aspects relate to patterned nanostructures having a feature size not including film thickness of below 5 microns. The patterned nanostructures are made up of nanoparticles having an average particle size of less than 100 nm. A nanoparticle composition, which, in some cases, includes a binder material, is applied to a substrate. A patterned mold used in concert with electromagnetic radiation function to manipulate the nanoparticle composition in forming the patterned nanostructure. In some embodiments, the patterned mold nanoimprints a suitable pattern on to the nanoparticle composition and the composition is cured through UV or thermal energy. Three-dimensional patterned nanostructures may be formed. A number of patterned nanostructure layers may be prepared and suitably joined together. In some cases, a patterned nanostructure may be formed as a layer that is releasable from the substrate upon which it is initially formed.
