Abstract: A fluid spray system for a compaction machine is provided. The fluid spray system includes at least one nozzle adapted to deliver a flow of fluid adjacent to a compaction member. The fluid spray system includes a fluid pump adapted to provide the flow of fluid to the at least one nozzle. The fluid spray system includes an operator interface configured to generate a signal indicative of activating a test mode based on an operator input. The fluid spray system includes a controller configured to receive the signal from the operator interface. The controller is also configured to activate the fluid pump for a predefined time period to provide the flow of fluid to the at least one nozzle. The controller is further configured to deactivate the fluid pump based on elapsing of the predefined time period to limit the flow of fluid to the at least one nozzle.

Abstract: A clamping device for securely engaging one or more objects through an application of pressure. The clamping device includes a primary member having opposed interior and exterior surfaces. The primary member has a generally cylindrical shape such that the interior surface defines a generally circular space about a center point of the primary member. The clamping device can receive an elongated member through the generally circular space circumscribed by the primary member. The primary member is adapted for clamping and releasing such that the clamping device may releasably engage the elongated member. The elongated member is securely retained by the clamping device through the application of pressure.

Abstract: A training device comprising a flexible rod capable of being mounted at an upper end to an upper structure, such as a ceiling, and at a lower end to a lower structure, such as a floor, and a punching bag mounted to the flexible rod. The flexible rod may be capable of deformation followed by a quick return to an original position when the punching bag is struck.

Abstract: A clamping device includes a primary member, a clamping member configured for selectively clamping the primary member to a mounting member, and an engagement mechanism configured to engage an exterior surface proximate to the front side of the primary member. The engagement mechanism may include an abutment member for abutting the surface, an input member for user manipulation, and a linkage between the input member and the abutment member to effect axial movement of the abutment member by the input member. An actuator mechanism for locking and unlocking the clamping member may also be included. The clamping device may be in the form of a barbell clamp in one configuration, which is configured for mounting on a mounting member in the form of a barbell and engaging a weight plate that defines the exterior surface.

Abstract: A clamping device includes a primary member with a central passage and a clamping member connected to the primary member. The clamping member includes an annular body that extends around the central passage between first and second ends. The device also includes an actuator mechanism with an actuator connected to the primary member at a pivot connection, and a pivot arm pivotably connected to the actuator at an eccentric connection spaced from the pivot connection. The actuator pivots between an unlocked position and a locked position, where the pivot arm engages the second end of the clamping member to move the first and second ends closer together. When moving the actuator mechanism from the unlocked to the locked position, the pivot arm travels ahead of the eccentric connection and/or toward the second end of the clamping member. Moving the actuator mechanism from the locked to the unlocked position causes the opposite movement.

Abstract: A passenger transfer system in accordance with present embodiments includes a mobile chair having a base portion with a plurality of wheels and a chair portion configured to support a passenger. The passenger transfer system further includes an elevation adjustment system and a transfer device. The elevation adjustment system is configured to adjust a height of the chair portion relative to the base portion. The transfer device is configured to extend laterally from an edge of the chair portion. The transfer device is further configured to support the passenger as the passenger transfers from the chair portion to a ride seat of a ride vehicle of an attraction of an amusement park.

Abstract: A person support for supporting a person includes a first layer and a resilient second layer. The first layer has a surface topography with a first region with a curvature configured to correspond and generally conform, in an unloaded state, to the shape of a first portion of a person's body. The surface topography has a second region configured to correspond and generally conform, in an unloaded state, to the shape of a second portion of a person's body. The resilient second layer overlays the first layer and forms a person support surface.

Abstract: A clicker mechanism for a game controller is disclosed. The clicker mechanism comprises a taper-shaped member and a barrel. A screw member is threadably affixed at a top portion of the taper-shaped member for adjusting the pull distance. The barrel is removably extends from a bottom portion of the taper-shaped member. A cam is disposed at an inner portion of the taper-shaped member with snaps at one end and a cam stopper pin at another end. A clicker connects to a bottom portion of the taper-shaped member, wherein the clicker is pressed downwards to create a rotational force on the cam which locks the snaps to the screw member to hold the adjustable levers in position, and wherein the clicker is released to create a rotational force on the cam which unlocks the snaps from the screw member and allows movement of the adjustable levers.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include a video camera assembly that includes: (1) a housing; (2) an image sensor positioned within the housing and having a field of view corresponding to a scene in the smart home environment; and (3) a concave-shaped front face positioned in front of the image sensor such that light from the scene passes through the front face prior to entering the image sensor; where the front face includes: (a) an inner section corresponding to the image sensor; and (b) an outer section between the housing and the inner section, the outer section having a concave shape that extends from an outer periphery of the outer section to an inner periphery of the outer section; and where the concave shape extends around an entirety of the outer periphery.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provides cutting elements for use on rotary drill bits for drilling subterranean formations. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to cutting elements having a shaped upper surface including at least one spoke for cutting and/or failing subterranean formations during drilling. The present disclosure also relates to drill bits incorporating one or more of such cutting elements.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to methods and systems for X-ray imaging and/or inspection of a PCD element in a protective leaching cup, which may be placed in a tray.
