Abstract: A wearable device operably worn by a user for monitoring musculoskeletal loading on structure inside the body of the user includes a plurality of sensors, each sensor operably worn by the user at a predetermined location and configured to detect information about a biomechanical activity of musculoskeletal tissues, a limb segment orientation, and/or a loading magnitude or location thereon; and a processing unit in communication with the plurality of sensors and configured to process the detected information by the plurality of sensors to estimate the musculoskeletal loading, and communicate the estimated musculoskeletal loading to the user and/or a party of interest.

Abstract: An apparatus travels within a 3-dimensional space collecting data that may be used to expose defects in structures and objects beneath the ground surface. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes an unmanned aerial vehicle controlled by a user. The apparatus carries LIDAR and ground penetrating radar and correlates data received from both to facilitate displaying a map with data superimposed on it representing locations of defects in structures and buried objects.

Abstract: A ground penetrating radar antenna array is consistently maintained at a spacing of less than or equal to about 4 inches above the target surface. As a result, the antenna array may be moved up to 75 mph while maintaining accuracy of data collection. The apparatus includes a wooden support from which non-elastic straps are suspended. The straps are attached to a housing containing the ground penetrating radar antenna array and receiver. The housing is supported from below by a pair of skis that have wear plates attached to their undersides with the wear plates engaging the target surface. The wear plates maintain the distal ends of the antennas within the antenna array at a spacing from the target surface of less than or equal to 4 inches, preferably 3.75±0.25 inches. The method of operation is also disclosed.

Abstract: Process for the recovery of a purified adiponitrile (ADN) from a mixture of adiponitrile, aminocapronitrile and hexamethylenediamine, utilizing two sequential distillations: (1) a first distillation in which the mixture is distilled in a distillation column at a head pressure that causes at least 7% of the ADN to go into the distillate, along with bishexamethylenetriamine (BHMT) and 2-cyanocyclopentylideneimine (CPI), and (2) a second distillation in which the distillate from the first distillation is distilled in a second distillation column at a head pressure sufficient to cause minimum-temperature azeotropy between ADN and BHMT, thereby allowing the majority of the BHMT and CPI to be removed from the second distillation as distillate, and ADN, substantially free of both BHMT and CPI, to be removed as bottoms.

Abstract: A Christmas tree ornament spotlight that decoratively illuminates ornaments by means of a miniature spotlight. When not in operation, the present invention is itself a tree ornament. When in operation it both enhances the decorative effect of other ornaments and itself has decorative effect, both in its inherently ornamental housing, and in the patterns of the beams of light cast by its spotlight. The direction of the light beam relative to the vertical and horizontal axes may be adjusted and fixed so as to particularly illuminate neighboring ornaments and/or for creating a distinctive pattern of light beams.

Abstract: A rotary grinding mill is disclosed including a hopper for holding a product to be milled, a mixing chamber having a grain inlet and a separate air inlet for mixing grain and air prior to grinding, a grinding mechanism for grinding the grain and a discharge port for disposing of grain flour received from the grinding mechanism. Connected to the discharge port is a container separate from the grinding mill which may be used not only to collect ground product, but also to store the ground product for later use. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the container is connected to the grinding mechanism by an arcuate connector for developing a helical flow path of air within the container. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a motor which drives the grinding mechanism, and a rotor of the grinding mechanism, are structurally isolated from the grinding mill so as to minimize vibration and noise within the grinding mill.
