The securement device can include an elongated body, a center hole located in a middle portion of the elongated body, a break feature extending on the middle portion of the elongated body, first-side holes located on a first side of the center hole, and second-side holes located on a second side of the center hole, opposite the first side. In some cases, the securement device can be installed in either of a first installed configuration or a second installed configuration. In the first installed configuration, the securement device can be installed unbroken along the break feature on the electrical box while, in the second installed configuration, the securement device can be broken along the break feature and either a first or second part of the securement device can be installed on the electrical box.

Abstract: A support system can include a first hanger body secured to a first hanger rod, a second hanger body secured to a second hanger rod, and a plurality of support bodies arranged between the first hanger body and the second hanger body. The support bodies may include conduit passages that receive corresponding lengths of conduit. A connector rod may extend through the first and second hanger bodies and the plurality of support bodies.

Abstract: A computer device generates a response to an emergency being reported by a plurality of sensor devices. The memory contains a sensor data engine and a determinant code calculator. The computer device determines the likelihood of an emergency based on received sensor data and, in some embodiments, answers received from an information provider. The sensor data engine receives external sensor data, determines data values associated with the external sensor data, and calculates an emergency likelihood based on the data values. The determinant code calculator generates a determinant code based on the calculated likelihood, and provides the code to an emergency responder system to generate an emergency dispatch response.

Abstract: A method of developing a physical design layout of microfluidic system chip can include receiving a planarized graph of a netlist including vertices representing microfluidic components. The vertices can be expanded into components, where each component includes a first dimension and a second dimension. The components can be shifted to a position where the first and second dimension of each component do not overlap with the first dimension and the second dimension of any other component. A flow route can be determined based on the first and second dimension of each component and the position of each component, the flow route including channels connecting two or more of the components.

Abstract: Disclosed is a magnifier for use by blind or low vision users. The magnifier includes a camera, such as a CMOS image sensor, that displays enlarged images upon a screen for easy viewing. The magnifier further includes a handle that is pivotally interconnected to a housing to allow for handheld use in a variety of different configurations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable magnifier camera that can be selectively positioned into a variety of configurations. At least four distinct viewing configurations are provided: a reading mode wherein the camera rests flatly upon the viewed object; a writing mode wherein the camera rests at an angle upon the viewed object; a hand-held mode wherein the user holds the camera relative to a distant object; and an inspection mode wherein the user holds the viewed object relative to the camera. These configurations enable a user to effectively view objects of differing size and at varying distances.

Abstract: Gas permeable molds and mold segments having open porosity (60) are disclosed. Blind vents (56) in the mold wall's (54) outside surface (52) allow for an uninterrupted molding surface (62) while enhancing the gas permeability provided by the open porosity (60). Methods of making such gas permeable molds include forming them from sintered material. Methods also include the use of solid free-form fabrication followed by sintering. Also disclosed are unitary structures (150), for use in EPS bead molding, having a steam chest portion (152) with gas impermeable walls (156) and a mold section (154) having a gas permeable mold wall (172) having open porosity (176), and, optionally, open and/or blind vents (180, 178). Methods for making such unitary structures (150) include the use of solid free-form fabrication.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for converting a hydrocarbon reactant to a product comprising an oxygenate or a nitrile, the process comprising: (A) flowing a reactant composition comprising the hydrocarbon reactant, and oxygen or a source of oxygen, and optionally ammonia, through a microchannel reactor in contact with a catalyst to convert the hydrocarbon reactant to the product, the hydrocarbon reactant undergoing an exothermic reaction in the microchannel reactor; (B) transferring heat from the microchannel reactor to a heat exchanger during step (A); and (C) quenching the product from step (A).

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a process and apparatus for separating a first fluid from a fluid mixture comprising the first fluid. The process comprises: (A) flowing the fluid mixture into a microchannel separator in contact with a sorption medium, the fluid mixture being maintained in the microchannel separator until at least part of the first fluid is sorbed by the sorption medium, removing non-sorbed parts of the fluid mixture from the microchannel separator; and (B) desorbing first fluid from the sorption medium and removing desorbed first fluid from the microchannel separator. The process and apparatus are suitable for separating nitrogen or methane from a fluid mixture comprising nitrogen and methane. The process and apparatus may be used for rejecting nitrogen in the upgrading of sub-quality methane.
