Abstract: A cross-laminated panel including a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first layer of the cross-laminated panel having first boards oriented in a first direction. The second layer of the cross-laminated panel having second boards oriented in a second direction, the second direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The third layer of the cross-laminated panel having third boards oriented in the first direction. The cross-laminated panel also including adhesive situated between each of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer. The cross-laminated panel further including a hollow member forming a conduit and disposed in any one of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer.

Abstract: A coupling system is utilized to form a multi-part rocket engine thrust compartment that maintains inner channels within walls of the thrust compartment for regenerative cooling. The coupling system includes an insert joint arranged between joint faces of a first segment and a second segment. The first segment and the second segment include inner edges that, when jointed together, form an inner wall. The joint insert is installed between the first segment and the second segment after the inner wall is formed and coupled to the first segment and the second segment. The joint faces of the first segment and the second segment include extending feature to form a flow passage along with cavities at least partially defined by the joint insert.

Abstract: A system, processes, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided method includes receiving a search query including one or more of a textual phrase, a document, or data including metadata from a user. For example, a processor may execute a theme-generating machine learning algorithm to generate a theme of the search query. Profiles of other users are identified as similar to a profile of the user may be located. A search history of each of the located other users may be located in the collected search history. Content in the searchable content that corresponds to the generated theme of the search query and according to a result of the evaluation of the located search history of each of the other users may be obtained. The obtained content may be scored based on a scoring algorithm and output a set of scored search results to the input/output device.

Abstract: A fishing knot protector is provided to protect the knot between a fishing line and lure or other fishing accessory. The fishing knot protector is preferably formed in a conical shape with an interior passageway or void configured for housing the knot to be protected. Preferably the interior passageway includes two cavities with one formed to protect the knot in the fishing line and the second to house the eye of the device to which the line is attached. The two cavities are aligned between the tip and the base of the knot protector. The cavity nearest the base preferably has a flange that serves as the base and has an opening for insertion of the eye of the hook through the opening. Preferably the flange is configured with a material and size that secures the eye of the hook in the cavity proximate the base. A guide line or wire can be provided to assist in directing the fishing line through the knot protector to be secured to the eye of the hook or other accessory device, such as a swivel.

Abstract: This method and device collect relative humidity data, then evaluate that data using an algorithm to determine if conditions are permissible for fungal growth. The growth condition meter, placed in a building's wall or ceiling, includes a simple controller attached to a memory, a timer, a relative humidity sensor, and a user interface. The device executes an algorithm for determining growth conditions based on a 24-hour history of relative humidity samples. First, the algorithm determines if relative humidity levels follow a cyclical profile similar to typical environmental conditions. In addition, it verifies that enough time is spent below a temporal humidity threshold. Second, the algorithm performs a baseline analysis comparing all samples over the previous 24-hour period to determine if all samples are over a fixed threshold. This allows for a situation where enough time is spent below the temporal threshold but overall relative humidity remains too high.
