Abstract: A system and method providing improved capability for inspecting and repairing threads of bolts and threaded holes is disclosed. Polishing stones comprised of epoxy and metallic oxide are used in conjunction with dye to identify threads in need of repair and make them visible to a maintenance worker.

Abstract: A painter's utility belt is comprised of an elongated sash with a widened middle portion embedded with lumbar support inserts. The ends of the sash are releasably attached by a buckle on an adjustable strap. A strip of reinforcing webbing is attached longitudinally on the sash. Loops are formed along the webbing for holding tools, such as a scraper and screwdrivers. A pocket is centered on the sash for holding a sanding block. A pair of vertical loops closed with buckles are attached near the ends of the sash for holding caulking guns, tape, or paint cans. A pair of D-rings are attached to the webbing near the opposite ends for holding a hammer, a rag, etc. A pair of combination pockets are releasably attached to the sash in positions corresponding to the hip positions on the user. The combination pockets are each comprised of a paint pocket lined with a liquid resistant material for holding paint, and a plurality of tool pockets for holding tools.

Abstract: A device for the timely and accurate inspection of and polishing of large threaded bolts. The device is easily reconfigured for effective use on a large number of different sized bolt threads by replacing the polishing stones, depending on the dimensions of the particular bolt thread. After a metal layout dye is placed on the bolt threads the rotating polishing stones reveal the upset and damaged threads that must be repaired before replacing the corresponding nut.

Abstract: A kidney stone specimen collection device having a tubular body with a longitudinal axis, a mesh screen affixed to an interior of the tubular body and extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of the tubular body, a first closure member affixed to one end of the tubular body so as to selectively seal the end of the tubular body, and a second closure member affixed to an opposite end of the tubular body for selectively sealing the opposite end of the tubular body. The tubular body is formed of an impact-resistant generally transparent plastic material. A flow indicator is positioned on a surface of the tubular body so as to be indicative of a direction of urine flow through the tubular body.
