Abstract: A cartridge casing comprising a casing tube formed substantially of metal with a closed end and an open end. The casing tube bounds at least part of a head cap entered into the open end of the tube. The head cap is fixed relative to the tube. An end wall defines the closed end opposite the head cap end of the cartridge. The end wall comprises a weakened region.

Abstract: A cartridge casing comprises a casing tube having a first end and a head cap. The first end of the casing tube abuts and is joined with the head cap such that an orifice in the first end of the casing tube is aligned with a passage in the head cap to define a flash passage. The head cap and casing tube are held together by a deformable member.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to monitor tasks in a process system enterprise are disclosed. In one example, a method is disclosed that comprises analyzing, using a processor, tasks in an enterprise to determine a criticality of each task and an actionability of each task, ordering, using the processor, the tasks based on the criticality and the actionability of each of the tasks, and rendering, via a display, a first graphic representative of at least a portion of the ordered tasks.

Abstract: Messages from wireless devices are intercepted by a controller, such as an access point for a wireless network, a security system controller, a home automation controller, an industrial or business automation controller, or a combination thereof. The controller logs device-identifying information about the devices that sent the messages that that were intercepted. Examples of the device-identifying information include a MAC address, a device name, a brand of the device, an SSID of an AP connected to the device, or a class of device. The intercepted message is used to trigger one or more events, either based solely on intercepting the message or in combination with other parameters.

Abstract: A mobile machine includes an operator cabin, a user interface inside the operator cabin and one or more computing devices. The one or more computing devices are configured to identify an operator in the operator cabin, identify the mobile machine, and retrieve a user profile from a remote location, wherein the user profile is associated with the operator and indicates user interface settings specific to the operator and to the mobile machine. The one or more computing devices are further configured to enable the user interface according to the user profile.

Abstract: A mobile machine includes an operator cabin, one or more optical sensors in the operator cabin and one or more computing devices. The one or more computing devices are configured to detect a first movement of an operator in the operator cabin using data from the one or more optical sensors, and to perform a first action on an attachment associated with the machine, wherein the first action is in response to, and is associated with, the first movement.

Abstract: A mouth protection system may include a formable mouth guard and a storage container. The mouth guard may include an elastic component and an inelastic component. The mouth guard may be heated, for instance, by allowing a working fluid to contact a reactant in a heating compartment. The elastic component may then become compressible in order to form to the anatomy of a wearer's mouth.

Abstract: A mobile machine includes an operator cabin, a user interface and a communications gateway for enabling wireless communications. The mobile machine further includes one or more computing devices for receiving a wireless communication via the communications gateway, wherein the communication includes information about an independent object. The one or more computing devices are further configured to identify the independent object using the information and, after identifying the independent object, present a user interface element via the user interface. The user interface element may be associated with the independent object.

Abstract: A prosthetic foot is provided with a forefoot spring, a heel spring and a base spring. The base spring is connected to the heel spring and to the forefoot spring. The base spring has receiving means for the forefoot spring and the heel spring, into which receiving means the heel spring and the forefoot spring can be inserted.

Abstract: A multi-functional wire guide assembly includes an elongate tubular housing having a length and defining a lumen extending from an open proximal end of the elongate tubular housing to an open distal end of the elongate tubular housing. A first mandril is positioned within the lumen, extends a majority of the length of the elongate tubular housing, and has a fixed position relative to the elongate tubular housing. A second mandril is positioned within the lumen, has a length greater than the length of the elongate tubular housing, and is axially movable relative to the elongate tubular housing. The multi-functional wire guide assembly has a first configuration in which a distal tip of the second mandril is proximally spaced from a distal segment of the elongate tubular housing and a second configuration in which the distal tip of the second mandril is axially aligned with the distal segment.

Abstract: Method employing a supported metallocene catalyst composition in the production of an isotactic ethylene propylene co-polymer. The composition comprises a metallocene component supported on a particulate silica support having average particle size of 10-40 microns, a pore volume of 1.3-1.6 ml/g, a surface area of 200-400 m2/g.
