Abstract: A rock bolt installation for a hole formed in a rock strata includes a cable bolt and a friction bolt disposed within the hole. The cable bolt can be embedded in grout, cement or resin. The cable bolt extends further into the hole than the friction bolt. The cable bolt and the friction bolt are disposed in an overlapping relationship within the hole and are connected structurally in the overlap to each other and to the internal wall of the hole.

Abstract: One embodiment comprises a method in which an integrated multi-user analytics server platform is integrated with a dynamic runtime ETL tool to allow dataflows created or developed in a dynamic runtime environment provided by the ETL tool to be saved in a novel dataflow file container. The method includes: presenting a user interface for an analytics server platform; receiving user input via this user interface indicating an action to be performed as to a first dataflow; the analytics server platform accessing a first file container corresponding to the first dataflow, where the first file container is stored in a data store connected to the analytics server platform; in response to receiving the user input, the analytics server platform accessing APIs of the dynamic runtime ETL tool to initiate the ETL tool, which then performs the action with respect to the first dataflow.

Abstract: Forward and back electron transfer at molecule oxide interfaces are pivotal events in dye-sensitized solar cells, dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cells and other applications. Disclosed herein are self-assembled multilayers as a strategy for manipulating electron transfer dynamics at these interfaces. The multilayer films are achieved by stepwise layering of bridging molecules, linking ions, and active molecule on an oxide surface. The formation of the proposed architecture is supported by ATR-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Time-resolved emission and transient absorption establishes that the films exhibit an exponential decrease in electron transfer rate with increasing bridge length. The findings indicate that self-assembled multilayers offer a simple, straight forward and modular method for manipulating electron transfer dynamics at dye-oxide interfaces.

Abstract: An oil drainage coupler that enables a single fitting to be coupled to associated oil drainage plugs of various sizes thereby enabling oil to be quickly drained from all makes and models of vehicles. This coupler produces a vacuum-tight seal that enables a vacuum pump to be used to enhance the rate at which oil is drained. The two halves of this coupler can be coupled by a rotation of one half into the other by an angle less than 90.degree., thereby making this a quick coupler that can be coupled by a single quick motion of vehicle service personnel.
