Abstract: A method of making a fuel grain for use in a rocket motor, the method comprising blending a first energetic nanoscale metallic compound and a second compound suitable to form a feedstock material for use in an additive manufacturing apparatus, the additive manufacturing apparatus operatively connected to a computing system, that provides additive manufacturing printing instructions to the additive manufacturing apparatus, permitting construction of an autonomously designed and optimized rocket fuel grain section; wherein the stochastic deposition simulation-assisted fuel grain geometries further comprise a plurality of agglutinated layers of solidified fuel grain compound, each layer of the plurality of layers comprising a plurality of blended and radially displaced beads of different radii, said radial displacement optionally optimized via competitive simulation programs, and wherein the system continuously mixes constituent materials in an inline/static mixer, with viscosity controlled via particle size var

Abstract: A pool, preferably a plunge pool, that can be prefabricated and on site installed in a short space of time is provided. The pool is integrally formed, resulting in a unitary pool shell having a floor, one or more sidewalls connected to the floor, a surface, such as a step or bench, extending from at least one of the sidewalls; and a peripheral wall extending from the surface to the floor.

Abstract: A system for information management includes a remotely accessible server configured for receiving a request from a user for a service provided by at least one designated service provider and for receiving a response from the at least one designated service provider; means controlled by the server for providing a first user interface that allows the user to download a preset template, to modify the template with user specific content, and to select the at least one designated service provider with a predetermined set of criteria; means controlled by the server for generating a virtual content module associated with the user that contains the modified template; means controlled by the server for transmitting a first notification message to the at least one designated service provider.

Abstract: The melon-holder includes an elongated base having a pair of jaws each pivotal about a separate side of the base. The jaws are pivotal from a melon-engaging position to a melon-releasing position. The jaws have a number of lateral spaces which are spaced apart from one another and which are adapted to receive a knife for cutting the melon into lateral slices while the jaws are in the melon-engaging position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a weather resistant laminate comprising a resin impregnated fibrous layer, preferably a resin impregnated decorative paper layer on a carrier layer. The invention further relates to laminates obtainable with the process according to the invention, to an intermediate laminate for use in the manufacture of the weather resistant laminate and to the use of said laminates.

Abstract: A two-wire triac-based low voltage AC dimmer adapted for configuration in series with a typically incandescent lighting load. An external step-down transformer provides a source of low AC voltage, and a separate, electrically isoated loop circuit utilizing a step-up transformer converts a portion of the low AC voltage into a corresponding high AC voltage used to trigger the gate of a triac. An on/off arrangement that serves to lock the triac in its blocking may optionally be provided. A shunting resistor connected across the triac serves to dissipate static charge buildup that may otherwise falsely trigger the triac to its on state. A phi filter provides a smoother and more regulated triggering pulse to the triac, thereby minimizing or eliminating flickering and undesirable extinguishing of the incandescent lighting load at low brightness settings.
