Abstract: The disclosure features a method of performing a boil-out cleaning process in connection with a fryer. The fryer includes a vat, a vessel for receiving oil drained from the vat, the vessel movable from an under-unit position, an oil drain path leading from an outlet opening of the vat to the pan, and an oil return path from the vessel back to the vat. The oil return path includes a pump. A drain valve is located along the oil drain path. The drain valve is opened to drain oil from the vat into the vessel is opened. The drain valve is closed after draining the oil from the vat. A boil-out cleaning fluid is delivered to the vat and the boil-out cleaning fluid is heated. A boil-out drain path is provided with an inlet positioned for receiving boil-out fluid from the drain valve and an outlet positioned forward of a front of the fryer unit. A container is placed below the outlet of the boil-out drain path.

Abstract: A pediatric hand therapy device, handwriting trainer, and fidget of a stretchable, deformable, resilient material, in the shape of an animal, character, or object having a plurality of ergonomically positioned openings for the thumb and fingers such that device is capable of providing resistance for all the motions of the wrist and hand, a means of somatosensory input, and positioning for handwriting.

Abstract: A hypo-allergenic, latex-free, durable, versatile resistance exercise device in the form of a continuous, seamless loop comprised of a thermoplastic elastomer with an elastic range of 10-12 times resting length to allow resistance in a full range of motion and with thickness of 0.5 cm to 1.6 cm to allow the exercise device to stay in place without rolling up or pinching, thereby increasing the comfort for the user. In another embodiment, the device is a resistance band comprised of a first end and a second end and one or more grip holes through the first end and the second end which provide a means of facilitating grip for a user as to prevent or lessen the accidental release of the resistance exercise device.

Abstract: The vehicles (12) of at least one fleet of rail vehicles are provided with on-board sensors (22) and rail vehicle positioning means (23). The rail infrastructure on which the rail vehicles circulate is provided with fixed rail infrastructure sensors (18). The rail infrastructure-related sensor data is merged with the rail vehicle-related sensor data, with location data representative of the location of the rail infrastructure-related sensors and with the rail vehicle position data for generating series of categorized event data representative of the occurrence of categorized events at a given location on the rail infrastructure over time and/or on a given rail vehicle of the fleet over time.

Abstract: A collapsible support frame includes a plurality of segmented legs pivotally connected to an inner surface of a collar, and are held together by an elastic cord. The legs pivot between a folded position and an deployed position. In the folded position, the legs segments form a bundle to facilitate storage or transport. Portions of the legs segments may seat within leg seats formed in the outer surface of the collar. In the deployed position, the legs pivot to contact leg support seats formed at angles in an inner surface of the collar. After contact, each leg extends in a different direction supported by its respective leg support seat. The elastic cord provides tension that keeps the leg segments together in the deployed position, and prevents the leg segments from becoming lost or separated in the folded position.

Abstract: A collapsible support frame includes a plurality of frame structures each having frame members joined together by a tension cable. A locking mechanism pivotably connects the frame structures and allows a user to move the frame structures between a folded position and an unfolded position. In the unfolded position, the frame structure is locked open and may carry a load. In the folded position, the frame structure is collapsed to form a bundle. A slack control member may provide tension to the tension cable when the support frame is unfolded, and to control slack in the tension cable when the support frame is folded.

Abstract: A collapsible frame comprises a plurality of frame members joined together by a flexible tension cable. In one embodiment, the individual frame members are also joined together by an elastic cord o facilitate assembly. The tensioning member includes an arcuate cable track and is rotatably connected to the frame. Relative rotation of the frame and tensioning member in a first direction tightens the tension cable, while relative rotation of the frame and tensioning member in a second direction loosens the tension cable.
