Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus that can transport a payload (e.g., a parcel, package, box, bag) from one position in a facility to any other point via conveyance on an overhead track system. It can be used to move a payload from the warehousing portion of the facility to the shipping area but can also transport to a value-add station where additional labor/material(s) can be added to the payload or any other destination required. It can also be loaded at most any location due to the small footprint of the induction stations to be brought to shipping or back to warehousing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of managing the power requirements of an off-grid assembly, and in particular a solar powered off-grid floodlight assembly, that has one or more functional components with electrical power demands that are met by energy storage means. In a first stage the method determines the current state of charge of the energy storage means and records such. This current state of charge determined is then compared with a calculated power requirement for operating said functional components for at least one required operating period. The level of power supplied by the energy storage means to the functional components is then managed in accordance with a power rationing model that comprises instructions to vary the power supplied over time to ensure at least partial functionality of the functional components throughout the required operating period or periods.

Abstract: There is disclosed a system comprising a fluid reservoir, a liquid solution within the reservoir, the solution comprising an antibiotic of the lincomycin family, a spray nozzle, a spray activator, and a tubular connection connecting the spray nozzle and the fluid reservoir.

Abstract: A work vehicle includes a frame and a cooling package. The cooling package includes a water cooler and an oil cooler disposed in a fixed side-by-side arrangement. The water cooler and the oil cooler are movably supported side-by-side on the frame. The cooling package includes a front surface and a rear surface. The cooling package is configured to move on the frame to permit cleaning of the front surface of the cooling package.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for evaluating Internet activity are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention pertains to a child using the Internet and a parent inspecting said child's activity on the Internet, which enables said parent to intervene if said child's Internet activity is inappropriate.

Abstract: There is disclosed a system comprising a decorative assembly comprising a connector, a first shoulder at a first end of the connector, and a second shoulder at a second end of the connector; an accessory assembly adapted to connect to the decorative assembly, the accessory assembly comprising a first arm and a second arm defining an opening between the arms, at least one of the first and second arms adapted to elastically deform to receive the connector of the decorative assembly.

Abstract: Integrated computer services and software licensing processing methods and systems are provided. A license processing service (LPS) receives a services or software license request from a user via a client computer. The LPS communicates the request to a billing system for the services or software provider to obtain an expiration date for use of a desired service or software product. The LPS receives and forwards the expiration date from the billing system to a licensing clearinghouse operated by the provider of the desired service or software product. The clearinghouse, in turn, provides a use license for the desired service or software application to the client computer via the LPS.

Abstract: Drying apparatus comprising an oven drying chamber through which container and, in particular, metal beverage container cans are arranged to pass through. The drying apparatus is for use with in-line can producing apparatus and methods and is arranged to locate down-line from washing apparatus. The drying apparatus is arranged to remove water, chemicals, contaminants etc. from the cans prior to the further processing (e.g. printing) of the cans. The cans are supported on a Kevlar open mesh conveyor belt and a suction chamber is created to draw or attract the cans to the conveyor belt to increase the stability of the cans. Accordingly, this greater stability means that the air pressure of the convecting drying air can be greater when compared to prior art unstabilized drying apparatus.

The flux coil has a first current flowing conduit having a second surface. When current traverses through the first current flowing conduit a first magnetic field is induced. The first surface is adjacent to the second surface such that the first flux coil is in the first magnetic field so that a signal is developed corresponding to the first magnetic field.

Abstract: In a FLIR/laser based targeting and imaging system, the ability to recognize, detect, locate, and/or track targets in an area of interest is significantly improved by reducing the fixed and dynamic alignment errors between the IR LOS and the laser LOS. Fixed alignment errors are reduced with an improved internal boresight module and corresponding boresight method. Dynamic alignment errors are reduced with an opto-electric subsystem that employs a single pitch bearing and a common pitch/yaw afocal for both the laser energy and the IR energy. A segmented window in the system housing includes a circular EMI grid pattern which significantly reduces the amount of off-axis EMI entering the optical pathways, and improved signal processing techniques are employed to enhance the quality of the IR image after the image has been digitized.

Abstract: A server application associated with a document provides a document object with a print interface to support programmatic document printing. A client application interacts with the document object through the print interface to control printing. The print interface supports progress monitoring and print cancellation during printing using a call back interface of the client program. The print interface also supports opaquely conveying document-specific print options, so that the client program can perform subsequent print operations with the same or similar document object using the same print options without the client program manipulating the print options. The document object also has a print preview interface which supports programmatic print previewing.
