Abstract: An apparatus for facilitating processing of plant material is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base, a cutter disc rotatably coupled to the base such that the cutter disc is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation relative to the base, the cutter disc having an upper side including a plurality of radially spaced teeth, each of the plurality of teeth configured to travel on a respective cutting path to engage and shear the plant material when the cutter disc rotates. The apparatus includes a shearing governor rigidly coupled to the base, the shearing governor including one or more cutting edges, each of the one or more cutting edges extending adjacent to the cutting paths of at least two of the plurality of teeth and configured to shear the plant material when the cutter disc rotates. Other systems and apparatuses are disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to a computer system accessing a client credential set to authenticate with a destination computer system. A computer system may, subsequent to receiving an indication to make available an application for a particular user, retrieve configuration data specifying a reference to a key value. The computer system may maintain a data object that includes a client credential set for the particular user. In response to an occurrence of an event associated with the application, the computer system may access the client credential set of the particular user from the data object using the key value and an indication of the particular user. The computer system may then send a request including the client credential set to a destination computer system for authentication with the destination computer system and receive a response indicating whether the computer system has been authenticated.

Abstract: An adapter assembly of a vehicle includes a bearing adapter configured to physically contact a bearing on an axle of the vehicle, and an adapter pad nested within an opening of a side frame of the vehicle and secured to at least one thrust lug of the side frame. The adapter pad includes a base section and legs depending from the base section. The legs are compressed between the at least one thrust lug of the side frame and shoulders of the bearing adapter to exert frictional forces on the shoulders of the bearing adapter. A combination of the frictional forces exerted by the adapter pad on the bearing adapter is less than a weight of the bearing adapter, such that as the side frame rises away from the bearing during movement of the vehicle, the adapter pad rises relative to the bearing adapter.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a plurality of segments. The segments collectively forming a 3D hinged model of a living organ derived from a medical imaging file, and the segments are hinged together.

Abstract: A method to prevent the accumulation of static electricity in a pipe system for containing corrosive petroleum products is provided, for a total resistance of less than 1 MEG ohms to ground from all points. The pipe system has at least two pipe sections, each comprising a structural layer and a corrosion resistant layer. The corrosion resistant layer has at least a conductive surface area in contact with the fluid, with the conductive surface area defining an electrical pathway extending a length of the pipe section. Each pipe section has a tapered end exposing a portion of the corrosion resistant layer. The method comprises joining the two pipe sections at the tapered ends by a conductive adhesive overlay, and electrically connecting the conductive adhesive overlay to a grounding device, wherein the grounding device helps dissipate build-up of electrostatic charge in the pipe system carrying the fluid.
