Abstract: A modular trench drain system with sloping overlay rails. A non-sloping section of trench drain is transformed into a sloping trench drain by installing sloping overlay rails. The overlay rails rest on the top of the upper edge of the sidewalls and may have a ledge which allows grating, which spans across the channel, to rest on top. The modular channel sections may be held together and in place by a channel bracket with holes for accepting support rods which further secure the channels in place before and after the concrete has been poured and cured around the channels.

Abstract: A tank apparatus for mixing paint including a mix compartment, a circulation compartment, a partition between the mix compartment and the circulation compartment, and a transfer assembly in fluid communication with the mix compartment and the circulation compartment, whereby the transfer assembly has an opening to selectively transfer mix paint from the mix compartment to the circulation compartment of the tank apparatus.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method and apparatus for a multi-mode I/O interface are described. In one embodiment, the interface includes a transmit state machine that generates a state signal indicating a state of the I/O interface in a next clock cycle. A pattern generator includes pattern generation units that select, in response to the state signal and an I/O protocol signal, N-bit interface control patterns from a plurality of microcode N-bit interface control patterns contained in the pattern generation units. A serialization unit then serializes the selected N-bit interface control patterns. A synchronization unit synchronizes the control patterns into a control clock domain to form interface control signals that are transmitted to data buffers and strobe buffers to enable transmission and receipt of data in accordance with an I/O protocol indicated by the I/O protocol signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing a part from a mold includes a frame and a retrieving assembly having a member mount attached to the frame and a plurality of part retaining members attached to the member mount, at least two of the retaining members being offset from one another along a first axis. One or more of the part retaining members can also be adjustable relative to the mount to accommodate varying surfaces of parts to be removed. The apparatus for removing a part may further include a lock arrangement configured to secure the retrieving assembly in a retrieving position.

Each pattern generation unit selects, in response to the state signal and an I/O protocol signal, N-bit interface control patterns from a plurality of microcode N-bit interface control patterns contained in the pattern generation units. A serialization unit then serializes the selected N-bit interface control patterns. A synchronization unit synchronizes the control patterns into a control clock domain to form interface control signals generated by the multi-mode I/O interface. The interface control signals are transmitted to data buffers and strobe buffers to enable transmission and receipt of data in accordance with an I/O protocol indicated by the I/O protocol signal.
