Abstract: A tensioner for strap includes a housing, a battery, a motor, a tension head having a tension wheel operably connected to the motor and a nosepiece having a pinch element. The nosepiece is mounted to the tension head for movement relative thereto. An actuator handle is mounted to the nosepiece to move the pinch element toward and away from the tension wheel. A strap sensor is operably connected to a controller and senses the presence or absence of strap between the tension wheel and the pinch element. A home position switch senses pinch wheel proximity to the tension wheel. The nosepiece is moved away from the tension head to introduce strap to the tool and the home position switch changes state to signal the controller to permit actuation of the motor when the strap sensor senses the presence of strap between the pinch element and the tension wheel.

Abstract: A void board is configured for placement between adjacent horizontal layers of bricks to maintain an opening in a lower of the layers. The void board includes a relatively thin base element having first and second opposing sides and a plurality of ribs extending along a length of the base element. The ribs extend from the first and second sides, generally transverse to the base element. The ribs are positioned such that the ribs that extend from the first side of the base element are offset from the ribs extending from the second side of the base element. The base element has a longitudinally extending central region, between a closest pair of ribs, that is devoid of ribs. A bundled load of objects have the void board positioned therein and a method of bundling a load of objects are also disclosed.

Abstract: Photoresists of the invention contain an added acid reaction component together with one or more resins and a photoactive component. Preferred photoresists of the invention can provide processes substrates such as microelectronic wafers with desired iso-dense bias values. Particularly preferred photoresists of the invention are chemically-amplified positive-acting resists and contain an ester-based solvent such as ethyl lactate or propylene glycol methyl ether acetate in addition to the acid reaction component.

Abstract: Methods are provides methods are provided to prepare photoresist and organic antireflective coating composition with a filter having a mean pore size of less than about 0.4 microns. Photoresist compositions and antireflective coatings produced by such methods can provide manufactured microelectronic devices that have significantly reduced defects. Photoresist and antireflective compositions obtainable by such methods also are provided.

Abstract: Contaminated water is chemically treated and aerated while being gravity fed through a trough. A series of slats are positioned in the trough to interrupt the flow and induce mixing and aeration. An array of aeration edges is removably installed over the slats. A holder for containing chemical treatment matter therein is positioned adjacent each slat. The aeration edges consist of upper and lower plates stacked one on top of the other. Each plate is provided with horizontal fingers extending in a direction downstream relative to the flow direction of the treated water. Each finger terminates in a baffle, which baffle is positioned substantially perpendicular to its finger.
