Abstract:
Methods and system for waste collection and transport systems are provided. Systems of the present disclosure comprise at least one of a loading station and a chute providing a point of ingress for materials into a larger system. A plurality of vertical risers or branches are provided. The system and related methods generate a priority order of emptying loading stations based at least in part on loading stations that are provided on the same riser.
Abstract:
A metal tab bending tool for securing an upright stud in place and relative to an elongated track of a wall assembly. The track includes an elongated flat web with first and second free-ended flanges extending in the same direction from opposed first and second side edges, respectively, of the web. Each flange of the web defines a plurality of spaced tabs extending toward the flat web from a free-end of each flange. The tool for connecting the stud in place and relative to the track includes a base. The tool also includes at least two pairs of bending arms each pivotally mounted to the base. Each pair of bending arms includes a first bending arm, adapted to be disposed to one side of the upright stud, and a second bending arm spaced apart from the first bending arm and adapted to be disposed to an opposite side of the stud. A mechanism is provided for moving at least one bending arm of each pair of bending arms from a first position and into engagement with a tab on each of the first and second free-ended flanges so as to bend opposed tabs on said first and second free-ended flanges engaged by the bending arms toward a center of the elongated track whereby inhibiting movement of said stud therepast. A method for securing a stud in place relative to a track is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A head-disk assembly device, “mass spin-valve” or “gravitational rectifier” and method of producing gravitomagnetic induction utilizing Nano-features fabricated on the surface of a hard disk is presented. The Nano-features may include Nano-bumps and Nano-pits. The device includes a computer hard disk, a piezoelectric glide head and/or a GMR read head, a typical hard drive's electronics, wherein defects are fabricated on the said disk using a Focused Ion Beam (FIB) by depositing requisite number of nanobumps of specified height, and etching equal number of nanopits of specified depth a few mils or mm apart on a pre-decided radius. By spinning the said nano-features disk produce (1) an associated mechanical force utilizing a piezoelectric glide head and/or (2) an associated magnetic force utilizing a GMR read head for (a) general use in surface characterization work and (b) for producing power by the presence or the absence of matter on a spinning disk.
Abstract:
Compound of formula I are antagonists of the PGD2 receptor, CRTH2, and as such are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of CRTH2-mediated diseases such as asthma.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for creating a configuration file template. One method for creating a configuration file template includes presenting 568 a base configuration file stored in memory in a window of a first pane 220, selecting 572 a portion of the base configuration file that indicates a syntax element 236, and defining 576 one 244 or more parameters 230/232/234 of the selected syntax element. The method also includes defining the one or more parameters upon receiving a value 244 or choosing from an already defined list of values 242, at least one of the parameters including a defined descriptor 240 for the selected syntax element, and presenting 576 the user defined descriptors 246/248 associated with the selected syntax element 236 or group of elements 227/228 in a second pane 222.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to indole and indoline cyclopropyl amide derivatives as EP4 receptor antagonists useful for the treatment of EP4 mediated diseases or conditions, such as acute and chronic pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use are also included.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed a rotating flow control diverter having a riser adapter. The riser adapter allows the rotating flow control diverter to be positioned in a riser string below the drilling platform. The rotating flow control diverter has two flanged connections that connect to the flanged connections of riser pipe such that the rotating flow control diverter becomes an integral part of the riser string. The rotating flow control device has means to circulate lubricating fluid in the bearing assembly without the need for external feed lines.
