Abstract: A transition for connecting a discharge end of a conveyor to an inlet end of a grain storage bin or grain dryer is disclosed. The transition includes an upper half configured to be attached to the discharge end of the conveyor, a lower half configured to be attached to the inlet end of the grain storage bin or grain dryer, and a pivot joint connecting the upper and lower halves to one another while allowing the upper and lower halves to pivot relative to one another to accommodate an angle at which the conveyor is inclined.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a formfitting loose tube for optic cables. The formfitting loose tube includes a loose tube wall. The loose tube wall includes first sides, second sides, a plurality of deformation induction tabs and a plurality of fiber optics stacked together having a shape form. The plurality of deformation induction tabs includes curving sections. The curving sections intersect the first sides and the second sides at intersections. The first sides and the second sides of the loose tub wall are configured to fit the shape form of the plurality of fiber optics stacked together. The plurality of deformation induction tabs induces elastic deformation of the loose tube wall under external stress.

Abstract: A matrix is populated with playing cards, dice symbols, or slot machine symbols at cell locations in the matrix. The player attempts to select symbol combinations in either horizontal rows, vertical columns or diagonal lines. The game may be played as a single player game, may include specific poker hand categories to find, may include time periods, may include scoring points, may include multiple rounds of play and may include single or multiple player versions.

Abstract: A viscosity controller automatically monitoring and controlling the viscosity of ink in a pad printing device on a continuous basis throughout the printing process includes a sealed ink cup having mounted thereon a motor with a paddle extending into the ink cup, a solvent tank in flow communication with the ink cup, and a valve for allowing selective amounts of the solvent to be added to the ink cup from the solvent tank. The viscosity of the ink in the cup creates torque on the paddle that affects the number of encoder pulses that are counted per time period by a motor encoder mounted to the motor, and the encoder pulses are counted and compared to a look up table stored in the microprocessor of the controller to determine if the valve should be opened to add diluting agent to the ink cup so that the ink viscosity can be maintained at a preset or predetermined value.
