  • Publication number: 20210106349
    Abstract: A holder for mounting a hand tool to a surface has a suction cup positionable upon a surface. A yoke is connected to a central area of the suction cup, and is movable in a vertical direction relative to the surface, to distort the suction cup to secure the suction cup and yoke to the surface. A frame includes a cradle shaped to receive and support the hand tool, and a base. An extension connects the base and the cradle. A cam pin is movable within the frame, and has a cam profile that slides along the cam engagement surface of the yoke to displace the yoke along a vertical axis to increase or decrease the pressure between the suction cup and the surface.

  • Patent number: 10654976
    Abstract: A method for producing a cross-linked siloxane network comprises the steps of: (a) providing a first part comprising (i) a first siloxane compound comprising at least one cyclic siloxane moiety and (ii) a second siloxane compound comprising a plurality of siloxane moieties, (b) providing a second part, the second part comprising a hydroxide salt, (c) combining the first part and the second part to produce a reaction mixture, (d) heating the reaction mixture to a temperature sufficient for the hydroxide salt to open the ring of the cyclic siloxane moiety, and (e) maintaining the reaction mixture at an elevated temperature so that at least a portion of the opened cyclic siloxane moieties react to produce a cross-linked siloxane network.

  • Patent number: 10293840
    Abstract: A wayside communication system for transmitting coded current signals through running rails of a railroad track between wayside control devices. A power line common to the wayside control devices is used as the return path for the current signals. The system features train and broken rail detection. The system allows sending signals long distances since rail to rail current leakage is no longer an issue.

  • Publication number: 20170349260
    Abstract: The embodiment described herein is a hybrid balloon-multicopter invention. In a similar manner to a multicopter, it incorporates anticlockwise and clockwise rotating rotors to support maneuverability in three dimensional space. However, unlike a multicopter, maneuverability is augmented by the lift force generated by a balloon filled with a lighter than air gas. Furthermore, to support extended day and night operation, one embodiment of the invention includes photovoltaic cells to convert solar energy to electric energy recharging a battery.

  • Patent number: 9152043
    Abstract: The various embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to resists and, more particularly, to negative tone molecular glass resists, and their associated methods of fabrication and use. In one embodiment of the present invention, a negative tone molecular glass-based resist comprises: a molecular glass, comprising, a molecular glass core, wherein the molecular glass core is not a polymer chain, and a functional group bound to the molecular glass core and configured to provide a decrease in solubility of the molecular glass; and an initiating component configured to produce a reactive species upon exposure to radiation, wherein the reactive species facilitates the decrease in solubility of the molecular glass.

  • Publication number: 20110158742
    Abstract: A connection assembly 10 usable for interconnecting two extruded square section aluminium elongate members 12. The assembly 10 includes a frame member 18 which locates in an end of the elongate member 12, with a pair of engagement members 28, 38 extending from the elongate member 12. A second engagement member 38 is movable relative to the first engagement member 28 so as to grip in a channel 14 on the other of the elongate members 12 to hold the elongate members 12 together. The second engagement member 38 is movable by a pivotally mounted handle 52 which extends outwardly from the elongate member 12 when the assembly 10 is in an unlocked condition, but locates substantially wholly within a channel 14 when the assembly 10 is in a locked condition.
