Abstract: A Christmas tree fire prevention device preferably includes an air-pressurized reservoir containing fire-retardant agent and a mechanism for automatically discharging the fire-retardant agent. The discharging mechanism may be connected to the reservoir via a flexible hose may also be removably attached to the apex of an existing Christmas tree and camouflaged as a holiday decoration. A mechanism for automatically emitting an alarm signal when the automatic fire-retardant agent discharging mechanism is activated may further be included. The discharging mechanism may include a valve with a metal-alloy plug which has a relatively low melting point. Flame heated air preferably causes the plug to melt and activates the discharging mechanism, which ejects the plug from the valve. The pressurized fire-retardant may then egress through the valve, deflect off a guard located on top of the discharging mechanism, and cover the Christmas tree.

Abstract translation: 圣诞树防火装置优选包括含有阻燃剂的空气加压容器和用于自动排出阻燃剂的机构。 排出机构可以通过柔性软管连接到储存器，也可以可移除地附接到现有圣诞树的顶点并伪装成假日装饰。 当自动阻燃剂排出机构被激活时，还可以包括用于自动发出报警信号的机构。 排出机构可以包括具有相对低熔点的金属合金塞的阀。 火焰加热的空气优选地使塞子熔化并且启动排出机构，该排出机构从阀排出塞子。 加压阻燃剂然后可以通过阀门流出，偏离位于排放机构顶部的护罩，并覆盖圣诞树。

Abstract: A rivet table connected to the nosepiece of a rivet setting apparatus. The rivet table includes an outer sleeve which controllably slides back and forth within the nosepiece and supports opposing jaws pivotally connected to the outer sleeve about spaced transverse pivot axes. The jaws pivot between a closed position and an open position, biased toward the closed position and define a flat transverse distal rivet head receiving surface, and a central mandrel-receiving aperture therebetween to slidably receive a rivet mandrel and to support the rivet head against said rivet head receiving surface during rivet setting. The jaws are momentarily forced into the open position by the mandrel moving laterally into the aperture and being carried on a flexible strip. The exposed surface of the rivet head is thereby substantially free of tool marks after being set.

Abstract: A magazine for holding a quantity of blind rivets ready for use in an automatic rivet setting tool. The rivets are connected together in spaced relation along the length of an elongated rivet carrying strip or ribbon of flexible material by having a distal portion of each mandrel inserted or pierced therethrough. The magazine includes longitudinal panels connected together in a preferably even, spaced, radially extending arrangement forming a spool. The longitudinal panels each define an outer distal longitudinal edge, all of which are preferably substantially parallel one to another and to a central spool axis. Each rivet carried on the flexible strip, when the flexible strip is spiral-wound around said longitudinal distal edges, is positioned in somewhat radially oriented fashion between adjacent longitudinal panels with the head of each rivet positioned inwardly toward the spool axis.

Abstract: A modular fiber management system that comprises: (a) a tray defining a set of first ports, a set of second ports, and paths interconnecting at least a portion of the first and second ports, the paths being configured to limit the bend radius of one or more fibers contained therein to no less than the minimum bend radius of the fibers; (b) one or more first connectors and one or more second connectors, each first connector being disposed in a first port, and each second connector being disposed in a second port, each connector having an x, y and z orientation such that the z axis is along the optical axis of the connector; (c) a plurality of fibers interconnecting at least a portion of the first and second connectors and lying in the paths, each fiber having a certain amount of slack between the first connector and the second connector; and (d) wherein each connector is limited in movement along its x y and z axes relative to the tray, each connector being limited in movement along its x and y axes by the port in which it is contained, and each connector being limited in movement along its z axis by the amount of slack in the fiber terminated in the connector.

Abstract: A computer based method and system for managing payments from a shipper to one or more carriers is described. A web-based interface portal is accessible by a shipper, one or more carriers and an invoice payment service provider to enable data relevant to various characteristics of a shipment of goods to be uploaded into a database. One or more profiles are created with the data to enable a specified shipment to be rated, to enable a carrier's actual invoice for a specified shipment to be compared with a rated invoice for that specified shipment to identify discrepancies between the rated and actual invoices.
