Abstract: A wearable device is provided which redirects perspiration away from a user's hands, feet and other extremities. The device may be fashioned as a band which is equipped with a channel structure extending around the entire surface of the band. The channel structure includes a channel base and a channel lip. The channel structure forms a perspiration channel with a flared lip. The channel base has a first thickness Tc at a central portion thereof, and a second thickness Te at end portions thereof, wherein Te<Tc. The channel base slopes from the central portion downward toward the end portions thereof, transitioning from the first thickness Tc to the second thickness Te. In some embodiments, the device is equipped with at least one pointed tip which directs the flow of perspiration away from the user's extremities. In some embodiments, when the device is not being used as a perspiration deflector, it may be used as a flying toy which can be thrown and caught.

Abstract: A method for removing pollutants from flue gas generated by a plant having one or more burners located at an inlet end of a vertically extending stack, the flue gas being discharged through an outlet end of the stack. The pollutants are removed by an emission treatment system which includes a major component module and inlet and outlet ductwork providing fluid communications between the stack and the major component module. The major component module includes an SCR segment, a heat exchanger segment, and an ID fan, the SCR segment having at least one catalyst unit composed of materials for selectively catalyzing at least one pollutant. The method comprises the steps of drawing the flue gas from the stack and through the major component module with the ID fan, removing the pollutant from the flue gas with the SCR segment to produce a clean flue gas, and discharging the clean flue gas to the stack with the ID fan.

Abstract: A disposable insert is positioned on a pin in a stepped recess of a cutting tool shank. A slidable wedge positioning block and clamp member are carried on a screw at the rear portion of the stepped recess. Tightening the screw causes the clamp to clamp the top of the insert and the positioning block to wedge the insert forwardly against the pin to securely hold the insert.
