Abstract: A sample mount having a bottom surface, a front surface, and a second portion is disclosed. The first portion is perpendicular to the bottom surface. The second portion has an external surface and an internal surface and extends from the first portion to form a 70-degree angle relative to the bottom surface. The sample mount may also have a top surface, an opening extending through the second portion of the front surface, and a receiving area configured to receive a sample, wherein the top surface presents an unimpeded path between the sample and an SEM pole piece. The sample mount may include a spring-loaded handle configured to push the sample against the internal surface of the second portion of the front surface, wherein pushing the sample against the internal surface places the sample at the 70-degree angle relative to the bottom surface.

Abstract: A system in accordance with one aspect mitigates interference with PtPRs (Point to Point Receivers) that may be caused by a Wi-Fi base station or terminal devices associated with the Wi-Fi base station.

Abstract: Fifty seven percent of the world's population, some 4.2 billion people, reside in places without internet access. Consequently, these areas also have no or limited infrastructure to deploy Internet of Things (IoT) devices/sensors. Numerous companies are racing to fill this communication gap and provide internet not only to those without internet but to also improve and provide additional options to those with internet access. One exemplary aspect is capable of providing a technically unique lower-cost solution for internet connectivity, and in particular for applications requiring real-time and/or near-real-time connectivity.

Abstract: An apparatus for pumping and mixing plural components of differing viscosities having at least one hopper for accepting each component, each hopper having a hopper outlet; an auger secured within each hopper, the auger being designed to wipe the inside surface of its respective hopper during rotation; a piston pump plumbed to each hopper outlet, each piston pump being substantially identical and having a pump inlet and a pump outlet, and each piston pump designed to be joined by a coupling yoke, whereby components of differing viscosities can be pumped uniformly; and a static mixer. The static mixer has a mixer inlet and a mixer outlet, and is designed so that plural components of differing viscosities can be uniformly pumped and mixed.

Abstract: A corrosion protection covering method for spliced regions of reinforcing steel is disclosed. The covering may include an outer, heat shrinkable layer and a flowable inner layer. The covering is applied to the spliced region, and then heated, causing the outer layer to constrict and thereby seal the taped area. The heat also causes the inner layer to liquify and fill any voids.
