Abstract: The panel includes a water resistant barrier layer secured atop its outward facing surface. The water resistant barrier layer includes a skid resistant surface. The panels are made of lignocellulosic material. The water resistant and skid resistant surface may include indicia for aligning strips of tape or for aligning fasteners. A method for manufacturing the water resistant building panels is also disclosed and includes the steps of feeding paper onto a forming belt, depositing lignocellulosic material and the binding agent onto the forming belt so as to form a lignocellulosic mat, applying heat and pressure so as to impart the skid resistant surface on the paper, and cutting panels to predetermined sizes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a load carrier foot (1) and a torque indicator device (25, 34, 44, 532, 74) for use with various sports equipment accessory devices, preferably a load carrier foot, the torque indicator providing a signal alerting an operator that a desired torque has been reached, thereby avoiding over-tightening or under-tightening of the device.

Abstract: A bicycle carrier rack mountable to a vehicle and having a load bearing arm, the arm having an attachment member on its underside having a locking portion. An anti-sway member is attachable to the locking portion of the member, the anti-sway member having an attachment portion on one end of the anti-sway member, the anti-sway member having an engaged position wherein the anti-sway member prevents sway of the bicycle. The attachment portion encloses a central aperture having an opening in a side of the attachment portion to the central aperture. The locking portion is sized to receive the opening of the anti-sway member when the anti-sway member is in a non-engaged position, and wherein the locking portion is sized to prevent passage through the opening when anti-sway member is in the engaged position, the anti-sway member being rotatable between the engaged and non-engaged positions.

Abstract: The invention comprises a wall sheathing barrier system having moisture permeability and simple improved installation method. The system comprises adjoined structural panels. Each panel has an overlay paper bonded permanently to the structural panel, which provides a moisture permeable barrier and a textured skid-resistant surface. The skid resistant surface may include indicia for aligning strips of tape or for aligning fasteners. Further, the seams of adjoining panels are sealed with a sealing means to complete the moisture barrier.

Abstract: An air modulating non-thermal dryer (AMND) system that de-waters a wet feedstock stream with an ambient airstream, to produce a dried product stream. The system utilizes a drying chamber in the efficient production of a dried product, and includes an acoustic induced air motion liberation or “SONICATION™” of the moisture with a combination of drivers, labyrinth transmission lines, and air modulating devices. Initially, a 50% to 60% dry composite of biomass or biosolids is pneumatically conveyed to the chamber through an in-line cutter and a swiveling load leveler with an atomizing nozzle for final shredding. The system can liberate up to 90% of the moisture content, using high volumes of process air, along with infeed motive air to deliver wet feedstock material into the chamber. Expelled airborne moisture may be discharged to atmosphere, without further processing, or it may be recaptured for potable uses.
