Abstract: The conveyor fastening tool is used for fastening first and second conveyor loop fasteners to each other and comprises first and second channels extending through a main body through which the first and second conveyor loop fasteners will pass. First and second lateral openings in the first and second channels allow the conveyor belt extremity sections to extend therethrough, outwardly of the first and second channels. First and second loop retaining members peripherally spaced about the first and second channels limit movement of the first and second conveyor loop fasteners orthogonally away from the first and second channels including preventing movement of the first and second conveyor loop fasteners out through the first and second lateral openings.

Abstract: The conveyor locking clip is used for releasably interlocking first and second conveyor loop fasteners and comprises first and second rigid arms for respective engagement in corresponding intermeshed loops of the first and second conveyor fasteners that are located at registering extremities of the first and second conveyor loop fasteners. A bridge rigidly linking the first and second arms.

Abstract: Methods and systems for auxiliary cooling of electrical device housings are provided. In one embodiment, an electronics device enclosure system is provided. The system comprises a housing, wherein the housing encloses one or more electronic devices; a backplane situated within the housing wherein at least one of the one or more electronic devices are coupled to the backplane; and an auxiliary cooling system coupled to the backplane and adapted to receive electrical power from one or more power sources, wherein the auxiliary cooling system comprises one or both of a thermoelectric cooling module and a fan, and wherein the auxiliary cooling system is adapted to increase the heat transfer from the one or more electronic devices to an environment external to the housing.

Abstract: Systems and methods of cathodic protection. The system includes a metallic housing, a backplane situated within the metallic housing, a cathodic protection card coupled to the backplane and a permanent anode, external to the metallic housing, coupled to the cathodic protection card through an isolated port. The cathodic protection system is powered using span power. The permanent anode and metallic housing are adapted to form a closed circuit when both come in contact with an electrolyte. The permanent anode is maintained at a higher potential than the metallic housing.

Abstract: A contraceptive method of inducing ovulation in induced ovulation mammals, in particular the female cat, by stimulating mainly the cervical region of the vagina to trigger a cascade of hormonal reactions to cause ovulation and pseudo-pregnancy to eliminate the unwanted behavior of female cats in heat. The treatment consists in the introduction of an ovulator inside the vaginal cavity of the animal. This apparatus is similar in shape and size to the penis of a cat, is made of a soft flexible material and is safe and easy to clean. The method imitates the sexual behavior of cats by causing a repeated number of brief stimulations at the peak of the estrus cycle.
