Abstract: A container for storing one or more items is disclosed. The container may include a surface defining a volume of the container and a label printed on the container. In various implementations, the label includes a substrate, a plurality of carbon-based sensors printed on the substrate, and one or more electrodes printed on the substrate. The sensors may be collectively configured to detect a presence of one or more analytes within the container. Each sensor may be configured to react with a unique group of analytes in response to an electromagnetic signal received from an external device. The electrodes may be configured to provide one or more output signals indicating the presence or absence of the one or more analytes within the container.

Abstract: Provided is a mobile counterweight equipment of crawler crane, which includes a main platform, wherein the said mobile counterweight equipment further includes a pair of sliding rails on two sides of the main platform, a slider and counterweight equipment on the sliding rails; the counterweight equipment is connected to the slider, the slider sliding back and forth on the sliding rails. Accordingly, total weight of the counterweight is greatly reduced, the structure is simplified and it is easy to operate and to maintain.

Abstract: A method of making a shock-resistant and wear-resistant composite steel tool comprises providing a steel tool body having a working edge, and providing a working part material of nonporous wrought steel in an unhardened state which is hardenable to a hardness greater than that of the body. The working part material, in its unhardened state, is fused by welding to the working edge of the tool body while being pressed forcibly against the working edge. After the fusion step, the outer surface of the working part material is hardened to a hardness greater than that of the body of the tool, the depth of penetration of such hardening being limited to the region immediately adjoining the outer surface of the material so that the underlying region of the working part remains ductile, and the weld is normalized thereby increasing its ductility and resultant shock resistance.

Abstract: An adjustable wobble dado assembly has a planar circular blade with spaced peripheral cutting teeth. The cutting teeth have respective top cutting edges at their radially outer extremities which are located at progressively different radial distances from the axis of the blade so that, when the axis is tilted relative to the arbor for purposes of cutting a groove, those top cutting edges located at progressively greater radial distances from the axis cut portions of the groove located progressively further from the longitudinal center of the groove. The top cutting edges also have respective different top angles relative to the axis of the blade, those edges located at progressively greater radial distances from the axis having progressively greater top angles relative to the axis. An adjustable hub assembly includes a hub composed of an integral portion of the material of the blade having a thickness greater than that of the blade.

Abstract: A quick-connect system is disclosed for sectional boom members for cranes and the like. The sectional boom members comprise chords for carrying compressive loads, each chord terminating in an end configured to abut against an end of a chord of an adjacent sectional boom member. The quick-connect system comprises at least one easily alignable connector secured to the ends of at least one of the chords, the connector comprising a compressive load bearing surface intersected by the intersection of the vertical and horizontal neutral axes of the chord to which the connector is attached.

Abstract: An adjustable wobble dado assembly having a plate-like circular blade, a pair of inner plate members fixedly mounted on either side of the blade having generally parallel outer surfaces and complementary inner surfaces for holding the blade at an inclined position relative to the outer surfaces, and a pair of interconnected outer plate members on either side of the inner plate members having parallel outer surfaces and complementary inner surfaces inclined relative to the outer surfaces and bearing rotatably against the inner plate members. Each inner plate member has an inwardly tapering central aperture for rotatably receiving a respective cylindrical hub of an outer plate member. Each cylindrical hub extends along an axis perpendicular to the outer surface, rather than the inclined inner surface, of the outer plate member, such axis also being coincident with the axis of an arbor bore extending through the hub.
