Abstract: A roof panel includes a planar body having top and bottom edges, with a downturn edge extending therebetween, and an opposing channel edge. The downturn edge overlays a channel edge of an adjacent panel. The bottom edge overlays a top edge of another adjacent panel. A plurality of courses extends between the channel and downturn edges. Each course includes a nesting ridge to receive the downturn edge of an adjacent panel and to position a top surface of the panel flush with adjacent panels. Surface channels and contoured ridges are defined within each course. A drain aperture of the drip edge aligns with an adjacent channel edge to direct material through the drain aperture and onto adjacent panels. A gable member engages an edge when the panel has one or fewer laterally adjacent panels, wherein the gable member is flush with the adjacent planar body.

Abstract: A method for forming cladding panels includes providing a panel forming unit comprising an embossing unit, a punch press, a stamping die, a shear press and a roll former, wherein a panel media is moved through the panel forming unit, placing the panel media proximate the panel forming unit and feeding the panel media into the panel forming unit, embossing a texture defined by the panel media using the embossing unit, pressing guide lines and guide indents into the panel media using the punch press, stamping a relief pattern into the panel media using the stamping die such that the texture is defined within the relief pattern, cutting the panel media into panels using the shear press and forming at least one flange on an edge of each of the panels using the roll former, wherein the panels each include a flange, the texture and the relief pattern.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to arcuate saddles typically used to anchor and suspend insulated or non-insulated pipes. Rounded corners on the saddles facilitate comfortably introducing and placing the saddles into hangers as well as improving use. Certain embodiments of the present invention involve methods of manufacturing arcuate saddles with rounded corners.

Abstract: A mattress assembly includes a foundation that defines first and second axes oriented along the length and the width of the foundation, respectively. The mattress assembly further includes a mattress supported atop the foundation and means for securing the mattress to the foundation to inhibit sliding movement of the mattress relative to the foundation along at least one of the first and second axes.

Abstract: A PON in which parallel optical fiber paths are provided between dual OLTs and the ONTs, one of the optical fiber paths providing an active connection and the other optical fiber path providing a standby connection. Respective VLANs may be formed over the parallel optical fiber paths. If performance indicators, for example Ethernet continuity check messages, indicate that an ONT is no longer in communication with the OLT then data may be sent via the VLAN associated with the standby connection.

Abstract: A cutting device includes a body and a cutting blade assembly. The cutting blade assembly includes a cutting blade having a cutting edge and is reciprocally secured to the body. Movement of the cutting blade assembly from a retracted position to an engaged position causes the cutting edge to engage a line, such as a monofilament trimmer line, to cut the line to a desired length. Tension may be created in the line prior to cutting by positioning the line in a non-linear trough in the body.

Abstract: A solid precursor delivery assembly generally includes a container having upper and lower portions and chambers defined within the container, including an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber, and first and second precursor chambers. The first and second precursor chambers are configured for holding precursor material within the container. Sintered frits are fixedly coupled and sealed to an interior portion of the container, and define at least part of the chambers within the container. At least one of the sintered frits is configured for retaining precursor material thereon within the first precursor chamber, and at least one of the sintered frits is configured for retaining precursor material thereon within the second precursor chamber. An inlet is coupled to the container for delivering carrier gas into the container, and an outlet is coupled to the container for use in removing vaporized precursor material and carrier gas from the container.

Abstract: A system and method of interlocking a plurality of electrical panel switches includes an interlock assembly having an interlock. The interlock has a first position that allows connection of one of utility power and power from an alternate power supply, such as a generator, to the electrical panel and prevents connection of the other of the utility power and alternate power. The interlock has a second position that allows connection of the other of the utility power and alternate power and prevents connection of one of the utility power and alternate power to the electrical panel. The interlock also is constructed to control the positioning and sequence of operation of neutral connections between the power supplies and the electrical panel.

Abstract: A bearing cylinder for a screen assembly of a pressurized pulp diffuser, the bearing cylinder including: a plurality of segments of the bearing cylinder wherein the segments are arranged side-by-side to form the bearing cylinder; and each of said segments includes a first region formed of a hard material resistant to damage from sand and rocks, and a second region formed of a soft material that thermally expands and conforms to bearing surfaces opposite to the bearing cylinder.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for verifying an electronic financial transaction. In certain implementations, verifying an electronic financial transaction includes generating a user interface including a security code, the user interface associating different portions of the code with different parts of a user input device, and associating at least one code portion with a user input device part having visual indicia dissimilar to the visual representation of the code portion. Verifying an electronic financial transaction also includes detecting activation of the user input device in a manner that generates a code, and determining whether the generated code corresponds to the security code.
