Abstract: The disclosure is directed at a refractory core using insulators and noise dampening for use in an exhaust stack. The refractory core includes a framework that includes a plurality of spears that are used to hold insulation segments in place within the framework. The insulation segments includes noise-dampening slots.

Abstract: A drying aid for the drying of a wet wetsuit or other wet material; the drying aid comprising an assembly configurable for use between a first or bucket mode and a second or tub mode; the drying aid supporting the wet wetsuit or other wet material above a level of water draining from the wet wetsuit or other wet material.

Abstract: Automatic pricing of remotely hosted applications permits users to enter customer data and flexibly prices various product offerings, product lines, and applications. An initial build of a computer system, modifications to an existing computer system configuration, extended services, and enhancements are incorporated. Errors are checked for and can be corrected. Using the invention, a sales team can quickly and efficiently price products and services at the inception of a business relationship, and can easily modify prices during the business relationship.

Abstract: Liquids, such as petroleum fuels, are tagged with chemical compounds having a light-absorbing identifying chemical moiety and at least one polymerizable chemical moiety. The marker is identified in a specimen of the liquid by polymerizing the marker compound, generally along with additional co-polymerizable material.

Abstract: A sorting mechanism for use in apparatus for sorting debris, unripe and ripe comestibles including a paddle and a drive cylinder for moving a bearing supported shaft which drives the paddle and a skirt for protecting the bearing.

Abstract: A system for inspection of adhesively bonded structures utilizing a piezoelectric transmitting transducer for transmitting a fixed frequency tone burst, e.g., 25 KHz, at a predetermined repetition rate, e.g., 100 Hz, into a part being tested and including a piezoelectric receiving transducer also coupled to the part for providing in a receiver circuit an audible output which permits the operator to distinguish amplitude variations of the 100 Hz repetition rate signal representative of the presence of an unbonded area.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Centipedegrass named ‘Tift TC458’ is provided. The new and distinct variety has excellent turf quality, increased seed head production, and increased nematode resistance as compared to similar commercial centipedegrass. The sexually and asexually reproduced diploid variety is reliably propagated both vegetatively and by seed.
