Abstract: A compression framing system configured to engage with opposing mounting surfaces, the compression framing system having a compression frame, the compression frame having: a first compression arm and a second compression arm, each compression arm having: a hollow pipe body; and a friction shoe associated with the hollow pipe body, said friction shoe being configured to engage directly with the mounting surface; an inner support beam configured to secure the first compression arm to the second compression arm; and an expansion controller associated with the hollow pipe body of the first compression arm; wherein the expansion controller is configured to selectively adjust a separation distance between the friction shoe of the first compression arm and the friction shoe of the second compression arm. The compression framing system is configured to provide a mounting structure frictionally engaged with opposing mounting surfaces for non-destructive attachment of a protective structure.

Abstract: A security panel mounting system having: a mounting unit configured to attach to a mounting surface; a securing unit configured to attach to the mounting unit to form a base fixture; a shock gasket configured to nest within the base fixture, wherein the shock gasket is configured to secure a security panel within the base fixture; and a cover configured to engage with the base fixture. A center mullion may be implemented to allow multiple security panels to be mounted within the mounting surface. One advantage is that the security panel mounting system may allow for the utilization of security panels within any window or door to enhance security. Another advantage is that the shock gasket may allow for the expansion and contraction of the security panels, as a result of changes in ambient conditions, to occur without resulting in bowing or deformation of the security panel.

Abstract: A security panel mounting system having a mounting unit configured to attach to a mounting surface; a securing unit configured to engage with the mounting unit wherein the engagement of the securing unit with the mounting unit forms a base fixture; a first narrow gasket and a second narrow gasket, each narrow gasket having: a narrow gasket body; a T-shaped narrow gasket handle attached to the narrow gasket body; and a gasket hollow nested within the narrow gasket body; wherein each narrow gasket handle is configured to engage with a corresponding structure within the base fixture to secure a security panel within the base fixture; and a cover configured to engage with the base fixture. An advantage is that the hollow within each narrow gasket may allow an impact to the panel to be responded more flexibly, reducing the likelihood of the mounting system being damaged from the impact.

Abstract: A pintle hitch connector, which includes a cylindrical trailer contact portion, a threaded portion extending from the cylindrical base with cylindrical walls. A threaded portion is provided distal to the trailer contact portion, where the threaded portion includes a hole to accommodate a locking mechanism or retainer pin. The end of the trailer contact cylinder distal to the threaded portion has a load securing pin extrusion bisecting its circumference. The load securing pin has a hole in the insertion end of the shaft to accommodate a locking mechanism or some retaining pin, and inserts into the hole running the length of the load securing pin extrusion.

Abstract: A needleless injector has a syringe body having an opening at one end, a piston housed within the syringe body for urging a liquid within the syringe body through the opening and a ram for driving the piston. A shock absorbing component is provided for reducing an initial transfer of force from the ram to the piston. The initial rate of pressure increase on the liquid is reduced, thereby controlling the rate of collapse of gas bubbles in the liquid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for increasing hydrolysis of a cellulosic material, comprising: hydrolyzing the cellulosic material with an enzyme composition in the presence of a combination of an AA9 polypeptide and one or more oxidoreductases selected from the group consisting of a catalase, a laccase, and a peroxidase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for increasing hydrolysis of a pretreated cellulosic material, comprising subjecting the pretreated cellulosic material to a cellulolytic enzyme composition; a polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity; a Peroxidase; and a nonionic surfactant and/or cationic surfactant, at conditions suitable for hydrolyzing the pretreated lignocellulosic material. The invention also relates to processes for producing a fermentation product comprising a hydrolysis step of the invention and a composition suitable for use in a method of the invention.

Abstract: A golf putter having a CORIAN putterhead [10] and a handle [110] affixed thereto. The putterhead is a three layer [20, 30, 40 ] hollow, [31], ear-shaped methacrylate sandwich fixedly encapsulating a variably sized lead shot weight filler [60, 70] in the hollow. Putting alignment inlays [50] are affixed in the top surface. The sandwich has a flat putting face [80] and a curvo-linear shaped body [90] the top edge of which is slanted [120]. The different colored CORIAN layers and alignment indicators add to the aesthetics of the putterhead. The CORIAN putting face [80] reduces the tendency of the golf ball to skid when it is contacted. The sandwich is made by adhering a hollowed [31] middle layer [30] to a flat end layer [20], inserting the lead shot [60] and resin filler [70], closing with a flat end layer [40 ] and shaping. The sandwich is then provided with the alignment inlays [50 ], final shaped [120], finished to a high luster and provided with a handle [110].
