Abstract: A mask may be configured as a respirator. A mask may be relatively easy to manufacture. A mask may be reusable and customizable. A mask may include a strap attachment configured such that a strap is attachable to the strap attachment without tying the strap into a knot.

Abstract: A robotic end effector includes a node having at least one wall. Each wall has a corresponding interior side and a corresponding exterior side. The interior side of the wall defines a closed profile disposed about an axis such that the interior side of the wall defines a cavity and the wall defines an end aperture open to the cavity through an axial end of the node. The end aperture being configured to receive a frame member. The wall includes a port having an outlet open through the interior side of the wall and an inlet open through the exterior side of the wall. The interior side of the wall defines a plurality of recessed channels that intersect the outlet of the port.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a mask, and in particular a mask configured as a respirator. The disclosed mask is relatively easy to manufacture. Further, the disclosed mask is reusable and customizable.

Abstract: A method of forming a part includes metal binder jet printing a first green component with a first attachment interface, de-powdering the first green component, assembling the first green component with a second component comprising a second attachment interface and forming an assembly such that the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface are adjacent to each other. The assembly is sintered such that volumetric shrinkage of at least the first green component creates a compressive force across the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface, and the compressive force across the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface and heat from the sintering results in a metallurgical bond across the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface such that a monolithic part is formed.

Abstract: A resistance training device is disclosed, comprising at least one resistance element extending between a tensioning element and at least one arm component. The tensioning element is positioned on the dorsal side of the user and a pivot is provided near the elbow joint of the user to permit articulation of the arm component. A plurality of attachments comprise a first side and a second side to anchor the resistance element to the arm component to impart resistance to the user during movement.

Abstract: A database of oil and/or gas wells, and system which determines distances of activities performed on one or more oil and/or gas wells and the oil and/or gas wells offset to the activity(ies), provides electronic, interface, or physical notifications offset well operators of actions that might affect the offset operators' wells, and to find information about upcoming well activity(ies) that could affect offset wells. The activities can be hydraulic fracturing.

Abstract: A platform for a service tool comprising a mobile device, an application executing on the mobile device for displaying three-dimensional CAD-style drawings of a system and all of its important components, and a cloud-based service that allows an operator or service personnel to order components and to exchange information (including video, audio, and other data types) with a remotely-located service provider. The system allows users to view detailed three-dimensional images of parts or part assemblies, choose distributors of those parts, and order to those parts to be shipped.

Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid molecule mapping to chromosome 16q24.3 and comprising the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID Numbers: 1 or 3.

Abstract: A multiple heater control system includes cables, connectors, and junction boxes for user-friendly daisy chain connections of heater controllers and heaters in various configurations or combinations of individually controlled heater series and/or master and slave heater series. The heater controllers include process control of AC power to the heaters and upper-limit safety shutoff that is substantially independent from the process control. The heater controllers also have variable levels of control, adjustment, display, and communications functionality in a base module that is expandable to various levels with expansion modules that are attachable to and detachable from the base module. Connector, cable, and junction configurations, adapters, and latch features enhance user friendliness.
