Abstract: A fowl management system is provided. The fowl management system includes a protected surface; a wire mesh at least partially suspended above the protected surface; wherein at least a portion of the wire mesh conducts an electrical current; a fence charger attached to the wire mesh; and a power source attached to the protected surface.

Abstract: Eyewear for use by a wearer, said eyewear providing a substantially fluid tight seal about the wearer's eyes, the eyewear including at least one lens for positioning at least partially in front of a wearer's eyes; a frame adapted to mount the at least one lens for positioning the at least one lens in front of the eyes of the wearer; head mounting means adapted to attach the frame relative to a wearer's head; and at least one seal attached relative to said frame and located about a periphery of the wearer's eyes wherein the eyewear is wearable in a substantially fluid tight condition in which the at least one seal forms a substantially fluid tight seal about the wearer's eyes, and a free condition in which the eyewear is wearable with the seal spaced from the wearer's eyes.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved method for manufacturing a garment to be printed by dye sublimation printing. The method includes constructing a garment having first and second panels joined together along a perimeter edge by a seam, placing a piece of transfer paper having a pattern printed thereon with dye in contact with the garment such that the piece of transfer paper covers at least a portion of the first and second panels and extends over at least a portion of the seam, and applying heat to the piece of transfer paper and the garment to cause the dye on the transfer paper to sublimate such that the pattern from the transfer paper is visible on the portion of the first panel covered by the piece of transfer paper substantially to and along the portion of the at least one seam covered by the transfer paper, but is not visible on the second panel.

Abstract: A pneumatic carpet stretcher includes a pneumatic actuator, a piston rod actuated by the pneumatic actuator driving a carpet gripping stretcher head towards an anchor pivotally mounted on a frame to the actuator and releasably mounted behind a tack strip on a floor to be carpeted so that the head and carpet is driven towards the anchor.

Abstract: An optical fibre back plane (4) feeds incoming optical fibres (11) to exchange equipment. The optical fibre back plane (4) comprises a support member (5) attachable to the exchange equipment for pivotal movement about an axis (9). An optical interface is provided for connecting the incoming optical fibres to on-board optical fibres. The optical fibre back plane (4) is provided with support means (12) for supporting the incoming optical fibres (11), the support means extending parallel, and closely adjacent, to the axis (9).
