Abstract: A toilet assembly includes a flush engine having a bowl defining a sump and a trapway extending from the sump. A bowl insert is configured to be located in the bowl and a shroud is configured to be positioned over the flush engine to conceal at least a portion of the flush engine.

Abstract: A method and system for reconciling data, the method comprising receiving account data including records of holdings, transactions and cash balances of an manager and a custodian. The account data is matched based on a set of rules for matching custodian and manager data. A holding matching process, transaction matching process, and cash matching process are provided to identify matches and exceptions in the records of the holdings, transactions and cash balances from the account data, which may be displayed to an end-user. The method further comprises receiving a request to investigate the exceptions in the records and providing at least one of cash, holding, and transaction investigations of the exceptions in the records.

Abstract: A method of joining the ends of metal strip material together by positioning a consumable insert of weld filler material between the full thickness of the strip ends and below the lower surface of the strip ends a predetermined depth to establish a predetermined gap between the strip ends thus allowing for full arc penetration of the strip ends and providing a supply of the filler material to the root of the weld to be formed between the strip ends.

Abstract: A method of increasing the fatigue life and/or reducing stress corrosion cracking of metal coiled tubing made from a continuous length of strip material by shot peening one or both sides of the strip material along substantially the entire length of the strip material prior to milling the strip material into tubing. The continuous length of strip material is made up of individual strips welded together in end to end abutting relation and the welds are finished before the strip material is shot peened. Alternatively, or in addition to shot peening at least the side of the strip material that forms the interior surface of the tubing, the exterior surface of the tubing is continuously shot peened as the tubing is wound onto a reel or spool.

Abstract: A wheeled, self-propelled tractor has a percussion tool or hammer mounted on its forward end and an impact transmitting means carried on the tractor below the hammer. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the impact transmitting means comprises a metal frame having a strong rigid top plate that is struck by the hammer and a downwardly opening cavity in which wood timbers are mounted to transmit the impact from the plate to a cemetery marker. Repeated blows to the market applied through the impact transmitting means will drive the marker into the ground until it is flush with the ground surface where it will not interfere with mowing. The frame is fastened on the vehicle by a suspension system that includes tension springs which keep the wood timbers in a horizontal plane but permit the frame to move downwardly each time it is struck by the hammer.

Abstract: A wheeled, self-propelled apparatus has a percussion tool or hammer mounted on its forward end and an impact transmitting means carried on the tractor below the hammer. The impact transmitting means is adapted to be mounted to transmit repeated impacts from the hammer to a cemetery marker until the latter is flush with the ground surface where it will not interfere with ground maintenance, such as lawnmowing and the like.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a grass trimming apparatus which may be used for trimming and cleaning grass on cemetary grave markers or the like. The grass trimming apparatus of the present invention basically comprises a grass lifting device such as a rotating brush which digs loose dirt and stones and lifts grass and thatch-like material up and off the face and peripheral edges of flush mounted grave markers so that a sequentially mounted grass cutting device can trim the grass lifted by the brush. The rotating brush is movable from a downward operative position to an upward position for travel between various grave markers in the cemetary, and may be detachably mounted for service. The grass cutting device or mower deck is similarly mounted to be movable between operative and travel positions.
