Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes an inlet grid configured to reduce distortion of an incoming airflow. The system may also include a vibration device coupled to the inlet grid and a controller communicatively coupled to the vibration device. The controller may transmit a vibration signal to the vibration device causing the vibration device to vibrate the inlet grid such that the inlet grid resonates at a natural frequency inducing a mode shape in the inlet grid. The mode shape may break up and prevent ice on the inlet grid.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a set of E. coli single-protein production (SPP) technologies with protein NMR (SPP-NMR) for (i) using isotope-enriched membrane proteins produced with the SPP system in screening detergent conditions suitable for purification and/or three-dimensional structure analysis without the requirement for protein purification, (ii) producing 2H, 13C, 15N enriched proteins suitable for high throughput and membrane protein NMR studies, and (iii) labeling with 13C-15N specific peptide bonds in proteins (referred to herein as SPP-PBL).

Abstract: An adhesive article exhibiting air release or egress, repositionability, and/or slidability characteristics. An adhesive article comprises an adhesive layer comprising an adhesive surface comprising discrete forms of non-adhesive material randomly distributed on the patterned surface and at least partially embedded in the adhesive layer. The discrete forms of non-adhesive material provide areas of no or minimal adhesion and provide the article with some level of repositionability or slidability. The adhesive surface comprising the non-adhesive forms may be patterned to provide an adhesive surface with a contact surface and recessed area or channels that provide the article with a route for air to flow out from under the construction. An article may be formed by providing a release liner, applying discrete forms of non-adhesive material to a surface of the release liner, at least partially embedding the non-adhesive forms, and embossing the release liner.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method for positioning a fluid storage tank in an underground installation site includes providing the fluid storage tank that includes a measuring device configured to provide a deflection measurement for the fluid storage tank and placing the fluid storage tank in the underground installation site. The method also includes measuring a first value for the deflection measurement from a distance from the measuring device after placing the fluid storage tank in the underground installation site without an operator being positioned on the fluid storage tank, wherein the first value provides a baseline for determining deflection of the fluid storage tank.

Abstract: In one aspect, a fluid storage apparatus includes a fluid storage tank having a longitudinal axis. The apparatus also includes a channel disposed on an outer surface of the fluid storage tank, the channel configured to receive an anchor strap used to secure the fluid storage tank to a ground surface of an underground installation site.

Abstract: A truck mounted telescopic boom structure including a stowable jib boom having a stowable personnel basket mounted thereon is described. A mounting structure is provided at the outer end of the innermost boom section of the boom structure and includes means for pivotally moving a work platform or basket between operative and stowed positions. When the boom structure and the jib boom are in their stowed positions, the personnel basket is positioned closely adjacent the jib boom at one side thereof so as to be within the highway width restrictions. The personnel basket is connected to the outer end of the jib boom at all times without the necessity of removing the personnel basket from the jib boom when the jib boom and the boom structure are in their stowed positions. The width of the personnel basket is adjustable between a first collapsed position and an expanded position.

Abstract: Methods and systems for efficient synchronization of magazine edition content on heterogeneous mobile devices are provided. Display screen information is obtained for a mobile device, including resolution and screen dimensions. Edition content changes for each magazine edition presented on the mobile device are determined based on the display screen information. Subscription information, edition summaries, edition design information and media library information specific to the edition content changes are each provided. When any of these portions of the edition content changes fails to synchronize, synchronization is continued with that portion that failed.

Abstract: Computerized method and system for identification and evaluation of a repair likely to prevent a failure of a mobile asset is provided. The method allows collecting data indicative of an incipient malfunction in the mobile asset (e.g., 1006). The method further allows collecting usage data indicative of usage of the mobile asset (e.g., 1002). The usage data is processed relative to historical data collected from a fleet of corresponding mobile assets to generate a usage profile for that asset (e.g., 1004). The data indicative of incipient malfunctions is processed to generate a prediction of a failure in the mobile asset and at least one repair likely to prevent the failure of the mobile asset (e.g., 1010). A repair weight indicative of a probability that the repair will prevent the predicted failure is determined (e.g., 466). The repair weight is adjusted based on the usage profile of the asset (e.g.
