Abstract: There is provided a control box for monitoring industrial machinery, comprising a processor, a memory and one or more communication interfaces in communication with the processor. The processor is configured to receive status data from one or more machines; store the status data in the memory; generate one or more of audio notification data and visual notification data based on the status data; transmit the notification data to one or more status beacons; transmit the status data to one or more computing devices; receive feedback data from the computing devices; and transmit the feedback data to the corresponding one or more machines. There is also provided a system for monitoring industrial machinery, comprising the control box and the status beacon configured to receive the notification data, and in response, produce one or more of a corresponding audio notification and a corresponding visual notification.

Abstract: A one-way vent for installation in a panel aperture is described. The vent includes a frame made of a first material, and valve and seal members both made of a second material, which has a lower stiffness than the first material. The frame includes an outer wall for engaging a perimeter of the aperture, and a valve seat extending inwardly from the outer wall. The valve seat defines an opening through the frame. The valve member includes a flap support fixed against a portion of the valve seat, and a valve flap flexibly coupled to the flap support. The valve flap is moveable between a closed position resting on the valve seat to cover the opening, and an open position elevated from the valve seat to uncover the opening. The seal member is fixed against the outer wall of the frame and extends outwardly from the outer wall.

Abstract: According to embodiments described in the specification, a method and apparatus are provided for producing an acoustic component. The acoustic component comprises a first compression-molded member comprising a first material; and a second injection-molded member coupled to and substantially surrounding the first member, the second member comprising a second material.

Abstract: An injection molding die for a mold for fabricating a plastic filter component including a net, at least one supporting rib, and a frame. The molding die includes a plurality of net grooves including a first set of net grooves and a second set of net grooves intersecting at least some of the first set of net grooves. The plurality of net grooves are for receiving plastic for forming the net of the plastic filter component. At least one rib groove is contiguous and in flow communication with at least some of the net grooves. The at least one rib groove is deeper than the net grooves and is for forming the at least one supporting rib subdividing the net into at least two portions. A frame cavity around the net grooves is in flow communication therewith, for receiving plastic for forming the frame. At least one damming device extending into the mold and located to act as a restriction for controlling plastic flow therepast and into at least some of the net grooves.

Abstract: A modular lighting assembly is formed from a plurality of modules. Each module comprises a base having an outer edge and a sidewall coupled to the outer edge of the base. The sidewall surrounds the base to provide a recess. A socket for receiving a light bulb is coupled to the base and extends into the recess. At least one locking device is provided on the sidewall to allow the module to be coupled to another module to provide a modular lighting assembly.

Abstract: A movement restricting device to be used with a panel member engaging portion slidably mounted on an elongated member, the engaging portion constructed and arranged to be fixedly engaged with a panel member so as to attach the elongated member to the panel member. The movement restricting device comprises a movement restricting portion having a pair of elongated member securing portions. The securing portions are flexible and are disposed to be biased into inwardly gripping engagement with the elongated member such that relative longitudinal movement of said movement restricting portion along the elongated member is substantially prevented. The securing portions have respective longitudinal movement limiting surfaces positioned and configured to restrict sliding longitudinal movement of the panel member engaging portion to a range therebetween.
