Abstract: An apron including a front panel and a rear panel each including an inner surface, an outer surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge. The bottom edges are coupled together, the first side edges are coupled together, the second side edges are coupled together, and an opening is between the top edges leading into a pocket defined by the inner surfaces. A first metal ring coupled to the rear panel where the top edge and the first side edge meet. A second metal ring is coupled to the rear panel where the top edge and the second side edge meet. A first hook is releasably attached to the first metal ring. A second hook is releasably attached to the second metal ring.

Abstract: A screw guard. The screw guard includes an elongated body. The elongated body includes an inner surface, an outer surface, a first bottom edge, a second bottom edge, and a front edge. The first bottom edge and the second bottom edge are disposed along a length of the elongated body. A slot is formed by the inner surface, and an entrance into the slot is formed by the front edge. An adhesive is attached along the first bottom edge and the second bottom edge.

Abstract: One or more dilution tubes for increasing the dilution of pulp as it enters a thickener are provided. One or more pipes, referred to here as dilution tubes, can be added to sides of a feed pipe of a thickener. One end of a dilution tube can open to a tank of the thickener, and the other end can open into the feed pipe. As pulp flows through the feed pipe, low pressure suction can be created that pulls water from the tank, through the dilution tube, and into the feed pipe. The water pulled in through the dilution tube can increase the dilution of the pulp. A highly diluted pulp can contact a flocculent efficiently and lead to a high settling rate in a thickener. Accordingly, the use of dilution tubes can increase the efficiency of a thickener.

Abstract: A supercapacitor capable of withstanding SMT manufacturing conditions includes at least one pair of electrodes having a mixture of carbon particles preferably in a CMC binder on facing surfaces of the at least one pair of electrodes; a porous separator, preferably polyimide, positioned between the facing surfaces of the at least one pair of electrodes; and an electrolyte for wetting the separator wherein the electrolyte includes an ionic liquid, such as EMITSFI, and optionally a solvent such as PC, GBL or glutaronitrile.

Abstract: A family of castable and weldable nickel-base alloys that exhibit a desirable balance of strength and resistance to corrosion and oxidation suitable for gas turbine engine applications. A first alloy consists essentially of, by weight, 1 8% to 20% cobalt, 22.2% to 22.8% chromium, 1.8% to 2.2% tungsten, greater than 1.5% to 2.3% aluminum, 1.6% to 2.4% titanium, where the sum of aluminum and titanium is 2.8% to 4.4%, 0.7% to 0.9% columbium, 0.9% to 1.9% tantalum, 0.003% to 0.009% boron, 0.002% to 0.02% zirconium, 0.05% to 0.10% carbon, with the balance essentially nickel and incidental impurities.

Abstract: An isokinetic resistance apparatus includes a motor having an output shaft and a motor controller adapted to control power to the motor to maintain a first constant rotational speed of the output shaft. The output shaft of the motor rotates a driven shaft in a first rotational direction at a second constant rotational speed. A force receiving member is coupled with the driven shaft by a force transmitting linkage having a unidirectional clutch. A force exerted upon the force receiving member in the first rotational direction is transmitted through the driven shaft and the drive linkage to the output shaft of the motor. The motor controller adjusts power to the motor to compensate for such force and proportionately increase resistance to maintain the first constant rotational speed of the output shaft.
