Abstract: A sheet metal processing cell has a stacker with a stack forming portion for receiving a length of sheet metal and positioning the sheet metal to be received in the stack. A part capture table is movable between an inserted position where the part capture table is positionable within the frame of the stacker below the stack forming portion and above the exit conveyor, and a withdrawn area where the part capture table is positioned outside of the frame of the stacker. When the part capture table is in the inserted position, the part capture table can receive a captured length of sheet metal from the stack forming portion and/or transfer the captured length of sheet metal from the part capture table to the stack. The part capture table has a conveyor for conveying the captured length of the sheet metal off the part capture table onto the stack.

Abstract: A sheet metal processing cell has a stacker for forming a stack of sheet metal. The stacker has a stack forming portion and a diverter. The diverter is movable relative to the inlet of the stacker to receive a diverter length of sheet metal and convey it away from the inlet. A traversing part sorter of the cell has a first conveyer and a second conveyor. The traversing part sorter first conveyor receives the diverted length of sheet metal from the diverter conveyor and conveys it away from the diverter. The second conveyor conveys the diverted length of sheet metal from the stacker inlet conveyor in a direction transverse the direction of advancement into a respective scrap bin or onto a measuring table.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to articles, such as pole wraps, comprising an intumescent coating composition. In an embodiment, a wrap for installing on a pole is provided. The wrap includes a substrate, at least a portion of the substrate having a mesh structure. The wrap further includes an intumescent composition disposed over substrate, the intumescent composition comprising one or more expandable graphite compounds. In another embodiment, a wrap for a structure or an installation is provided. In another embodiment, an article is provided and includes a utility pole; and a wrap for covering at least a portion of the utility pole, the wrap comprising: a substrate comprising fiberglass and an elastomer, at least a portion of the substrate having a mesh structure; and an intumescent composition described herein disposed over the substrate.

Abstract: A firearm safe is described which may provide a firearm in a state for ready access such that release of the firearm from the safe is performed when a user's hand is in position to readily accept and use the firearm with no or minimal avoidance of obstructions. The firearm safe may maintain the firearm in a locked and protected position when access is not desired and may carry the firearm on a carriage assembly. The firearm safe may provide the firearm only upon activation by a user, such as by biometric or RFID readers. Upon such activation, the firearm safe may provide the firearm to the user. The biometric readers may be positioned such that, upon release of the firearm, the user's hand may be in position to receive the firearm with minimal or no obstructions and may readily grasp the firearm for use.

Abstract: A controller for a private unit in a multi-unit building is provided. The controller operates the private unit's HVAC equipment, and includes a processor, output display, memory, and a RF module for communication. The controller is operable to receive temperature or flow values of a fluid passing through the HVAC equipment. Using the received temperature values of the fluid passing through the HVAC equipment, the controller calculates a measured value of HVAC usage of the HVAC equipment. The measured value can be in units of energy or in dollars.

Abstract: A soybean cultivar designated HFPR-5 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar HFPR-5, to the plants of soybean HFPR-5, to plant parts of soybean cultivar HFPR-5 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing soybean cultivar HFPR-5 with itself or with another soybean variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a soybean plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic soybean plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to soybean cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from soybean variety HFPR-5, to methods for producing other soybean cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from soybean cultivar HFPR-5 and to the soybean plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing the cultivar HFPR-5 with another soybean cultivar.

Abstract: A method of correcting a computerized ledger for deposit discrepancies uses a display such as a window to record a deposit transaction. An amount of receipts and an amount of adjustment are provided to account for cash over and cash under adjustments to a bank deposit. The data is stored in a computerized ledger system. A real time output is provided from the computerized ledger system that represents the amount of receipts adjusted by the amount of adjustment. Real time, such as same day, accounting data relating to deposits is available for reporting and decision-making.

Abstract: This is a cannula system for hard tissue implant material delivery. A cannula having at least two stages is described. A proximal section has one set of outer and inner diameter and a distal section has smaller outer and/or inner diameters. The length of each section is preferably adapted for use in performing percutaneous vertebroplasty. The cannula preferably has a section inner 13 gauge diameter and another section with an inner 11 gauge diameter. Internal and/or external transition regions may be provided between the sections of different diameters. For use in accessing a site, preferably a 13 gauge stylet is received in a lumen of the cannula.
