Abstract: An adjustable and angled seat assembly having a base supportable on a ground surface, a wedge support member with a wedge length separating the front and rear ends thereon and a wedge height separating upper and lower ends thereon, with the lower end directly coupled to a support plate and tapering in the wedge height spanning along the wedge length to define a wedge angle ? defined by the upper and lower ends of the wedge support member. The assembly also includes a seat cushion having a seat-support surface disposed above the base and a seat-support angle relative to the base support plane and a lower surface directly coupled to the upper 704 of the wedge support member and a chest cushion having a chest-support surface disposed above the seat-support surface, coupled to the support plate, and disposed at an at an acute angle with respect to the seat-support surface.

Abstract: A system includes a gas turbine component having a recessed portion with a recessed surface in a hard-to-weld (HTW) material. The system includes a plate disposed over the recessed portion. The plate has an easy-to-weld (ETW) material. The plate has an outer surface and an inner surface, and the inner surface faces the recessed portion. The system includes a braze material disposed within the recessed portion between the recessed surface and the inner surface of the plate. The braze material is configured to bond the recessed surface of the recessed portion with the inner surface of the plate when the braze material is heated to a brazing temperature. The system includes a filler material disposed on the outer surface of the plate disposed over the recessed portion. Application of the filler material to the outer surface of the plate is configured to heat the braze material to the brazing temperature.

Abstract: A blending system is shown and described herein. The blending system may include a base including a motor, a blade assembly selectively and operably engaged with the base, where the motor drives the blade assembly, and a container having an inner and outer layer. The blending system may also include a magnet positioned between inner and outer layers of the container, and a sensor positioned in the base, where the magnet in operative proximity to the sensor permits operation of the motor.

Abstract: A blending system is shown and described herein. A blending system may include a base including a motor and a first shell that encases the motor. The blending system may also include a container that is removably coupled to the blender base. The blending system may also have a second shell selectively attached to the first shell. The blending system may also have a wall positioned within the base to direct airflow from the fan along a volute-shaped path.

Abstract: An adjustable seating assembly is disclosed having a base with a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a length extending from the first end to the second end. A frame assembly has a pair of support legs coupled to the base along the length. A seating-support surface is disposed above the base and coupled to the frame assembly. A chest-support surface is disposed above the base and coupled to the frame assembly and the chest-support surface is orientated at an acute angle with respect to the seating-support surface. The pair of the support legs are selectively translatable along the length of the base in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction so as to selectively rotate the chest-support surface and the seating-support surface simultaneously while maintaining the acute angle between the chest-support surface and the seating-support surface during the rotation.

Abstract: The Episode Builder according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention is a web-based computer application and its associated architecture that allows health care professionals to define and describe episodes of care. The Episode Builder provides a unique tool for these purposes. Using industry-standard code sets, the Episode Builder describes and defines an episode of care so that the health care professional can create and modify episodes for a variety of purposes. The three main components of the Episode Builder are a configurable and extensive code set management system, a suite of display panels that define the episodes themselves based upon the code sets, and a means to export the episode definition tables thus created to be used as inputs into an analytic program or a claims adjudication engine.
