Abstract: A retractable roof structure has a pair of longitudinally spaced supports, guide wires extending between said supports and positioned to support a covering in a required profile. The covering comprises a plurality of sections arranged in seriatim along the guide wires with each section slidably supported on the guide wires so as to be moveable between an open position in which the area beneath the covering is exposed and a closed position in which the area beneath the covering is covered. A drive member extends between the supports and is connected to one end of each of the sections at a first location to move the one end along the guide wires. A tensile member, such as a rope or cable, extends from the peak of the leading edge of one section to the lower corner of the leading edge of a section along a path so that movement of the peak is transmitted by the tensile member to the eaves to move the section along the eave guide wire in the same direction.

A flexible hinge may be incorporated, where a medical device would be configured to pass through the second coupler, the flexible hinge, and the first coupler.

An example electronic device includes a first sensor, a microphone, a first camera, and a confidence analyzer to authenticate a subject as the authorized user in response to a user presence detection analyzer detecting a presence of the subject and one or more of (a) an audio data analyzer detecting a voice of an authorized user or (b) an image data analyzer detecting a feature of the authorized user. The example electronic device includes a processor to cause the electronic device to move from a first power state to a second power state in response to the confidence analyzer authenticating the user as the authorized user. The electronic device is to consume a greater amount of power in the second power state than the first power state.

Abstract: Pre-ground plastics of small particle size not more than 2 mm are co-fed into a solid fossil fuel fed entrained flow partial oxidation gasifier. A syngas composition can be made by charging an oxidant and a feedstock composition comprising recycle plastics and a solid fossil fuel to a gasification zone within a gasifier; gasifying the feedstock composition together with the oxidant in said gasification zone to produce said syngas composition; and discharging at least a portion of said syngas composition from said gasifier; wherein the recycled plastics are added to a feed point comprising a solid fossil fuel belt feeding a grinder after the solid fossil fuel is loaded on the belt, a solid fossil fuel belt feeding a grinder before the solid fossil fuel is loaded onto the belt, or a solid fossil fuel slurry storage tank containing a slurry of said solid fossil fuel ground to a size as the size fed to the gasification zone.

Abstract: A coupler guard configured to protect an auxiliary coupler assembly from side impacts in the rough use environment of a loader. The coupler guard comprises an encasement and a side plate. The loader comprises the auxiliary coupler assembly and a hinge extension. The encasement wraps around a top portion and interior side of the auxiliary coupler assembly. The side plate attaches to a portion of the encasement and protect an exterior side portion of the auxiliary coupler assembly. A screw assemblies selectively attaches the encasement to the side plate. A ring attaches to a portion of the side plate. The ring selectively wraps around a portion of the hinge extension of the loader. A ring screw assembly selectively holds the ring and the rest of the coupler guard to the hinge extension. An edge trim selectively sits on top of a portion of a first arm.

Abstract: A method of producing synthesis gas is provided. The method includes feeding a waste plastic feedstock into a partial oxidation gasifier. The waste plastic feedstock includes one or more vitrification materials.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of producing synthesis gas (syngas) from aplastic material. The methods generally comprise feeding a wet waste plastic and/or liquified plastic stream and molecular oxygen (O2) into a partial oxidation (POX) gasifier. The wet waste plastic generally comprises the plastic material mixed with a liquid medium and has a liquid content of at least 2 weight percent. The wet waste plastic may be in the form of a plastic-containing slurry and/or may be derived from other processes that produce plastic-containing streams. The wet waste plastic may also be combined with a quantity of coal (or pet coke) before being fed to the gasifier. A partial oxidation reaction is performed within the gasifier by reacting at least a portion of the plastic material and the molecular oxygen to form the syngas.
