Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, systems, devices, components, and methods for providing first data to a first waveguide device via a first medium of a first assembly, wherein the first waveguide device incorporates the first data as part of a first electromagnetic wave that is guided by, and propagates along, a first transmission medium coupled to the first waveguide device without requiring an electrical return path, and providing the first data, second data, or a combination thereof, to a second waveguide device via a first medium of a second assembly, wherein the second waveguide device incorporates the first data, the second data, or the combination thereof as part of a second electromagnetic wave that is guided by, and propagates along, a second transmission medium coupled to the second waveguide device without requiring the electrical return path. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an assembly for balk transport. An inflatable bladder is inserted into a container and disposed proximal and above a gravity-fed aperture. The container may be, for instance, a hopper rail car. A bulk material then is introduced into the container, the bulk material being, for instance, a grain-based material such as corn gluten feed. The bladder is positioned and preferably secured laterally with respect to the aperture to impede access to the aperture by the bulk material. When the container has reached the transport destination, the bladder is deflated. If the bulk material has set up during transport, access to the aperture nonetheless will have been maintained.

Abstract: A valve lockout device having two pieces. A first piece of the device is a hollow object, substantially tubular or block-shaped, open at a bottom end and having slots open on two sides, that fits over a valve whose handle is to be fixed (or locked). A pocket in the first piece receives the handle and limits the motion of the handle relative to the valve body, thereby preventing operation of the valve. A second piece of the device is a substantially U-shaped object which is pivotally attached to the first piece. When the second piece is rotated to a closed position, it captures the valve handle in the pocket of the first piece, thereby preventing the valve lockout device from being removed. When the second piece is in the closed position, a padlock loop on the first piece extends through a padlock receiving opening in the second piece. Putting a padlock through the padlock loop will prevent the second piece from being rotated out of its closed position, thereby locking the device to the valve.

Abstract: The present invention includes a stationary housing having disposed therein an epicyclic star gearset including sun, idler, and ring gears. The sun gear includes an input shaft extending therefrom, and the ring gear includes a first output shaft extending therefrom. A bull gear having a second output shaft extending therefrom is also provided and is operatively connected to a pinion gear, which pinion gear is fixedly connected to an idler shaft extending from said idler gear. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the gears are predeterminedly sized for obtaining equal and opposite rotation of the first and second output shafts during operation.
