Abstract: A snow removal device may include an engine assembly operably coupled at least in part to a frame of the snow removal device. The snow removal device may further include a mobility assembly operably coupled to the frame and the engine assembly to provide mobility of the snow removal device responsive at least in part to operation of the engine assembly. The snow removal device may even further include an ejection assembly that includes a chute for ejecting material from the snow removal device, and a handle assembly that includes a lever assembly. Moreover, the snow removal device may also include a chute rotation assembly operably coupled to the chute of the ejection assembly. The chute rotation assembly may include a cable system, the cable system operably coupling the lever assembly to the chute rotation assembly.

Abstract: The invention provides for the orchestrated treatment of disparate fractions of a shale deposit to recover vanadium values, with distinct steps of beneficiation that together provide a combined vanadium-enriched concentrate amenable to subsequent combined steps of hydrometallurgical vanadium extraction.

Abstract: A method, system and platform for implementing an automated grading system that can reliably and efficiently grade a trading object such as numismatics and trading cards are disclosed. Via adopting industry-standard grading scales, the present computer-assisted numismatics and sports trading card platform utilizes various techniques, such as laser scanning, machine vision, smartphone IOS and Android native installed object recognition, neural network models, blockchain, NFT with smart contracts, digital fingerprints identified as intellectual property and royalties to enable consistent grading and trading of a large quantity of trading objects. It can further enable authenticity verification, and transactions of the graded trading objects.

Abstract: A system includes a base station and a server. The server includes a communication interface, a memory, and an electronic processor communicatively connected to the memory. The communication interface is configured to communicate with one or more base stations including the base station. The electronic processor is configured to receive location information of a third-party communication device that has received interference, determine whether the third-party communication device is located within a threshold distance from the base station based on a first interference radius associated with the base station, and output one or more resolution options to resolve interference between the base station and the third-party communication device in response to determining that the third-party communication device is located within the threshold distance from the base station.

Abstract: A torque wrench assembly comprises a torque wrench and a reaction arm and locking means for locking together the torque wrench and the reaction arm. The locking means comprises a connection member located on the torque wrench; an opening on the reaction arm for receipt of the connection member of the torque wrench; a locking member slidably mounted in a channel on the reaction arm, the locking member including an aperture sized to allow the connection member to pass therethrough; and biasing means arranged to bias the locking member into a position wherein the aperture is partially aligned with the opening. The connection member has an insertion end for insertion into the opening of the reaction arm, and immediately adjacent the insertion end is a recess. The recess is shaped to receive a part of the locking member.

Abstract: A metal sucker rod has a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end. At least one end piece with a recess is configured to receive one of the first end and the second end of the metal sucker rod. The metal sucker rod includes an adhesive applied to at least one of a) the first end and the second end of the steel rod and b) in the recess of the at least one end piece. The adhesive is configured to secure the end piece to one of the first end and the second end.

Abstract: An automated sucker rod spacing device comprising a housing, a screw set within the housing and connected to a sucker rod string via a polished rod, a nut which is in threaded engagement with the screw, a means to transmit a rotation force to the nut, wherein the rotation of the nut can lower or raise the screw and thus lower or raise the sucker rod string. The device can be used to stop tagging, ensure full pump fillage, and avoid gas lock.

Abstract: A variable oil field fluid treatment system and method of use which utilizes a pump, a compressible media unit for coalescing and removal of oil, vertical or horizontal polishing-unit, and/or combinations therein.

Abstract: A variable oil field fluid treatment system and method of use which utilizes a pump, a desanding hydrocyclone, and/or a non-consumable or consumable mechanical solids filter, a membrane filtration unit, a pump, a granular carbon filter, and/or combinations therein.

Abstract: A tubular includes an outer surface and an inner surface defining a passage. A plug is arranged in the tubular blocking the passage. The plug is formed from a disintegrating on demand (DOD) material. An ignition device is coupled to the plug. An excitation mechanism is selectively operatively associated with the ignition device. The excitation mechanism selectively activates the ignition device to break apart the plug.

Abstract: A drive assembly for a walk-behind, powered device operably couples an engine of the powered device to a mobility assembly to provide mobility of the powered device responsive at least in part to operation of the engine. The drive assembly includes a transmission shaft and a short turning assembly. The transmission shaft selectively receives drive power operably coupled from the engine to drive a first drivable component and a second drivable component of the mobility assembly. The first and second drivable components are disposed substantially at opposite sides of the powered device. The short turning assembly is configured to cause both disengagement of drive power and activation of braking to the first drivable component while drive power is provided to the second drivable component.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to reconditioned sucker rod, particularly to the sucker rods already used in the mechanical deep-pumping extraction of oil. The sucker rod comprises metal rod ends and a non-metallic body. The method of remanufacturing of reconditioned sucker rod includes subjecting used non-metallic sucker rods to a destructive pull test.
