Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for diluting aerosolized high-melting-point solution. A dilution apparatus intakes a flow of aerosolized form of the high-melting-point solution and a flow of inert gas into a continuous multi-chamber volume. The continuous multi-chamber volume comprises an introductory chamber and an expansion chamber that is cross-sectionally larger than the introductory chamber. The dilution apparatus mixes the aerosolized form of the high-melting-point solution with the inert gas in the expansion chamber to dilute the aerosolized form of the high-melting-point solution and channels a portion of the diluted aerosol to a dilution passage.

Abstract: Edging strips for concrete floors employ parallel strips as lost formwork secured to removable timber formwork using a nailing bracket that has a horizontal plate section 32 and a vertical plate section 35, the horizontal plate section slides underneath one of the strips as the strips separate due to concrete contraction and supports a filler by bridging under the filler, the horizontal plate section comprises an elongate section of the horizontal plate section having lobes 33 and 34 at each end. These lobes are welded to the underside of one of the strips 11 or 12 with the other strip located on top of the elongate section. The vertical plate is a fixing plate 35 with predrilled holes for nailing to the timber form, the elongate section having tapered corners opposite each lobe and the vertical plate extending in a plane located between the lobes.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture enables users to collaborate on an actual stored drawing document across a network. A single document is stored on a server who establishes a collaboration session with multiple users that collaborate in real time and dynamically view modifications executed by the users. Users maintain simultaneous write access to the document. Asynchronous commands are received from users, that have a delay of a defined time period, include any modifications made in real time by the user transmitting the asynchronous command, and cause the server to transmit any modifications to all of the multiple users in the collaboration session. The server also maintains a history of all modifications to the actual stored drawing document. The history can be used by a user to undo any user's modifications.
