Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods provided herein are useful for dispensing a fluid, such as a thixotropic fluid. In some embodiments, a bottle having a closure cap includes a flip top, a base, and a disk, where the base and disk define a mixing chamber configured to facilitate mixing of any serum or liquid separated from the fluid back therein. In some configurations, the base has a central opening through which the fluid exits and an internal shaft with a non-planar end surface opposite the central opening. In some configurations, the non-planar end surface and the disk define channels between the mixing chamber and the internal shaft. In some embodiments, the disk includes a central opening, a plurality of partial annular openings through a planar surface of the disk, and projections extending into the mixing chamber.

Abstract: A high-gain, wide-angle, multi-beam, multi-frequency beamforming lens antenna that includes a Luneburg lens with at least one planar interface in the southern hemisphere of the Luneburg lens and a planar ultrawideband modular antenna (PUMA array) structure. The PUMA array structure is connected to at least one of the planar interfaces of the Luneburg lens and is configured to function as a feed network to illuminate cells of the Luneburg lens simultaneously.

Abstract: Cable housing assemblies include frames and cable carriers slidably mounted to channels provided at edges of the frames. The cable carriers may house or support male or female connectors to the cables, which may be power or communications cables (e.g., Ethernet cables) that extend from the connectors within the cable carriers into the channels, and through voids within the frames to power sources or communications systems. The cable carriers are releasably inserted into channels at edges of the frames, and permitted to slide in either direction (e.g., up or down) to various positions within such channels, in order to make power or communications services available at such positions. When installed in association with a shelving unit, e.g., between a backerboard and shelves, the cable carriers may be used to provide power or communications services available to such shelves provided at any height within the shelving unit.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate a subsea fuse device exposed to a high ambient pressure when deployed. The fuse device comprises a metallic fuse housing enclosing a low-pressure hollow space and a fuse arranged in the low-pressure hollow space, the fuse having two electrical connectors, wherein one of the electrical connectors of the fuse is electrically and thermoconductively coupled to the metallic fuse housing so as to provide an electrical connection between the fuse connector and the housing and to dissipate heat from the fuse.

Abstract: Disclosed is a modem system for transmitting and receiving multi-rotational waveforms comprising at least one waveform modulation subsystem, and a demodulation subsystem programmed to receive a second plurality of sequentially modulated communication waveforms.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a system for depositing a layered nanolaminate alloy including a controller for an electrodeposition process that includes a waveform synthesizer circuit configured to generate a complex waveform signal corresponding to a desired electrodeposition waveform to be output from an electrodeposition power supply. The controller also includes a synthesizer control circuit configured to control the waveform synthesizer circuit. Based at least in part on a recipe having information related to the electrodeposition process, the synthesizer control circuit controls the generation of the complex waveform signal by modulating in real-time at least one of a waveform shape, a frequency, an amplitude, an offset, a slew, a wavelength, a phase, a velocity, and a derivative of the complex waveform signal. The controller further includes a controller output circuit configured to transmit the complex waveform signal to an input of the electrodeposition power supply.

Abstract: A multiple tool includes a flat assembly having at least a first flat handle portion and a second flat handle portion and at least one removable tool bit. The first and second flat handle portions both present first corresponding engageable features which are able to be interconnected at least indirectly in a flat relationship to at least partially assemble the flat assembly. The first engageable features may also be disconnected so that the first and second flat handle portions are able to be separated. The separated first and second flat handle portions each present second corresponding connectable features which are able to be interconnected with each other in order to assemble a non-flat handle assembly. The non-flat handle assembly also presents at least one tool bit recess which is suitable for receiving the at least one tool bit thereby providing a tool which includes a handle and a tool bit.

Abstract: A clamping assembly for securing together a pair of adjacently located panels. The clamping assembly has a retainer member having a groove therein, the groove extending linearly in a first plane disposed angularly with respect to a second plane intersecting the nose portion and defining a pair of open ends located in the first plane. The clamping assembly also has a tab member, the tab member adapted to be received within the groove of the retainer member via one of the pair of open ends of the groove, wherein the tab member is adjustable in position within the groove along the first plane.

Abstract: The current invention is an LED-lighted walking-cane. It is a fixed-height cane, with a string of LED lights coiled along the entire length. The user turns the lights on and off with a switch on the handle. The lights are battery-powered. The battery pack is stored in a cavity within the cane.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for clustering cells, cell surface molecules, and ligands are disclosed herein. In some versions, the methods include applying a stimulus to a polymer that is reversibly associative in response to the stimulus.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes a pair of handle elements and a pair of housing elements. Each handle element includes a manually grippable bar and a base portion having a substantially spherical contact surface. Each housing element is substantially hemispherical and has a substantially central window. Each handle element is releasably locatable within a housing element to form a substantially hemispherical handle body in which the contact surface of the handle element is located within the window of the housing element and provides a contact point about which the housing body is rotatable when located on a support surface.

Abstract: A closure combination (101) comprising a dispensing closure body (102) and a container neck (103). The dispensing closure body (102) and container neck (103) comprise co-operable screw threads (104, 105) that allow the dispensing closure body (102) to be screwed onto the container neck (103) into an engaged condition.
