Abstract: A restroom privacy barrier is disclosed allowing for users of restroom stalls to cover gaps that may appear between the walls, panels, or doors commonly found in public restrooms. The restroom privacy barrier includes adhesive zones wherein the barrier may be temporarily adhered to a surface, such as a restroom stall door or wall panel thus covering the gap and preventing prying eyes from viewing the occupant of the restroom stall. The barrier may include a spine for additional resilience and rigidity and also provide additional strength or adhesive contact points for adherence to surfaces. The restroom privacy barrier can have other applications such as using the adhesive to temporarily seal the restroom stall door when the latch or lock is non-functional or even when it is functional.

Abstract: A plurality of identical fabrication modules are linked together and configurable to fabricate any of a plurality of differing laminate structures in a family of structures having common features. Each of the fabrication modules is locally adapted to fabricate a section of the laminate structure on a corresponding tool. A controller controls and coordinates automated operation of the fabrication modules.

Abstract: A snow melting device is provided that is suitable for residential or commercial use. The device comprises a wheeled hand cart having a housing that is partitioned into a first portion and a second portion. Snow to be cleared is deposited into the first portion and melted using hot water dispensed from a water circulating system and spray nozzles disposed about the housing periphery. The snow is melted and circulated through the water circulating system, which includes a hot water heater, a water pump, fuel supply reservoirs, a motor to drive the pump, and a water line that communicates heated water from the hot water heater to the nozzles. Snow is melted as it is shoveled into the device, and overflow water exits the housing through drain tubes at a given water level. The device eliminates having to transport or carry snow from an area being cleared.

Abstract: A cleaning assembly cleans and polishes a desired surface by using interchangeable cleaning attachments. The assembly includes a housing having a top wall and a perimeter wall attached to and extending downwardly from the top wall. A plurality of cleaning attachments is provided each having a first surface opposite a second surface. A selectable one of the cleaning attachments is removably coupled to the housing whereby the cleaning attachments are interchangeably couplable to the housing. A motor is electrically coupled to the selectable one of the cleaning attachments when the selectable one of the cleaning attachments is coupled to the housing for vibrating the selectable one of the cleaning attachments.

Abstract: Selectively generating customized marketing content is described. A system identifies a communication device via a communication channel. The system sends a uniform resource locator associated with the communication channel to the communication device. The system generates customized marketing content based on data which includes the identity of the user associated with the communication device, in response to receiving a selection of the uniform resource locator by the communication device. The system sends the customized marketing content to the communication device.

Abstract: A shimless separator arbor for slitting a sheet of metal passing through a slitter has a separator adjustment device as a new separator adjustment device for allowing adjustments to the space between separators for the purpose of properly spacing strips of material formed from the sheet of metal to cut at two strips from the sheet, so the at least strips have a smooth edge.

Abstract: According to one example embodiment of the inventive subject matter, the method and apparatus described herein is used to generate an optimized speculative version of a static piece of code. The portion of code is optimized in the sense that the number of instructions executed will be smaller. However, since the applied optimization is speculative, the optimized version can be incorrect and some mechanism to recover from that situation is required. Thus, the quality of the produced code will be measured by taking into account both the final length of the code as well as the frequency of misspeculation.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a packaging for a liquid, powdery or pasty product, comprising a first packaging part and a second packaging part which are connected to each other along a connecting area to define between them a hollow space to receive the product, wherein a channel is provided between the first packaging part and the second packaging part, which is to be opened by opening a sealing element to dispense the product from the packaging. The disclosure is characterized in that the sealing element is a sealed seam between the first packaging part and the second packaging part, which seals the channel, and that the sealed seam comprises inside the channel at least one portion which projects in a longitudinal direction of the channel. The disclosure also relates to a packaging machine for manufacturing such a packaging.

Abstract: A crawler assembly includes an attachment mechanism that is removably attachable to a stringer. The stringer has a vertical web and a longitudinal axis. The crawler assembly includes a longitudinal slider that is engageable to the attachment mechanism and having a normalizing mechanism disposable in bearing contact against the vertical web for maintaining an orientation of the longitudinal slider relative to the stringer. The longitudinal slider is movable along a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The crawler assembly includes a lateral slider that is mountable to the longitudinal slider and is movable along a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The lateral slider includes a drill bushing. The longitudinal and lateral sliders cooperate to move the drill bushing to at least one predetermined hole location.
