Apparatus for spraying a coating onto the outside of a pipe includes a body for mounting on a pipe to be coated. A spray gun is mounted on the body such that it can move relative to the body to spray coating completely around the periphery of the pipe. The apparatus may include only a single spray gun which is able to travel in a 360 degree range of motion around the periphery of the pipe. The apparatus is particularty suited to coating girth welds of a pipeline.

The present invention is a particulate filter face mask with replaceable filter element, the filter element being inexpensive, easily replaceable and securely held within the mask when installed.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing of a stiffening element (1, 1′, 1″, 2) of composite material, which stiffening element is provided for attachment to a curved shell surface (9), said stiffening element (1, 1′, 1″, 2) comprises a web (3) and at least one flange (5), the outer surface (11) of which has a radius (R) of curvature corresponding with the curvature of said curved shell surface (9) The method comprises the following steps of: providing a substantial flat blank (19) of composite material; and folding said blank (19) along a first folding line (13), the curvature of which is defined by an imaginary three-dimensional intersection line (115) being derived from the radius (R) of curvature of the curved shell surface (9).

An air conditioning pad that is to be placed under an air conditioning unit to support it, raise it off the ground, and maintain it in a preferred position of use, even when subjected to strong winds or flooding. It has a plurality of openings therethrough for the insertion of tie-down straps, several central supports to give it strength, and has at least one interior cavity that can be filled with fluid or other material on site to provide the weight needed to meet new building code requirements relating to severe storm conditions and / or otherwise maintain an air conditioning unit in its originally selected position of use. Applications include, but are not limited to, use in supporting air conditioning units in outside locations.

A closure and container package for pressurized products, such as carbonated beverages, includes a closure comprising a closure cap having a top wall portion, and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. Features of the closure construction, and selection of the polymer from which the closure is formed, permits the closure to meet sealing, impact resistance, and other performance criteria, with desirably reduced use of polymeric material. Significant cost savings can thus be achieved.

A snow removal or ground-surface cleaning apparatus that is pushed or pulled by a prime mover. The apparatus has a drum array that includes rows of triple-stepped blade-like fingers distributed evenly around a drum array. These fingers are stiffly flexible and can cleanly and efficiently pick up snow and debris from uneven ground surfaces.

The invention relates to a device for mixing and dispensing a pasty mass, in particular a bone cement, comprising a cartridge that is open or can be opened on two ends and has a mixing element and a feed plunger arranged in it, whereby the feed plunger, in a starting position, is arranged in the region of a first cartridge end, the mixing element is arranged on a mixing rod, the mixing rod extends through the feed plunger into the inside of the cartridge, the mixing rod and the feed plunger and the cartridge together form a tight connection that seals the cartridge inside of the device with respect to the exterior, whereby the feed plunger is arranged on the mixing rod and such that it can move in the cartridge in axial direction and whereby at least one clamping jaw is arranged on the feed plunger in appropriate manner such that the clamping jaw can be pressed onto the mixing rod by means of a locking element such that the mixing rod can no longer be shifted with respect to the feed plunger. The invention also relates to a bone cement system comprising a device of this type and a method for producing a cement mixture, in particular of a bone cement, having a device of this type or a bone cement system of this type.

A network equipment testing method and system is proposed, which is designed for use with a network system based on a server-client architecture for implementing a data transmission reliability testing procedure concurrently on one or more pieces of network equipment, and which is characterized by the utilization of a universally acceptable and recognized network testing standard for performing a data transmission reliability testing procedure. This feature allow the test results to have universal acceptance and recognition, and also allows the data transmission reliability testing procedure to be implemented with less human resource and equipment cost than the prior art, so as to allow the use of network equipment in enterprise to be more cost-effective

A door, especially an aircraft door, is first closed, for example manually. Then the door is first latched by a latching mechanism and locked by a locking mechanism. The latching mechanism and the locking mechanism are operatively connected through respective force transmitting couplings to a common drive in such a way that the latching mechanism is first moved to establish a latching position. Then, with a delay, the locking mechanism is moved into a locking position by the same drive to establish a latched and locked position.

A multipoint injector for a turbomachine according to which any risk of fuel coking is eliminated is disclosed. The multipoint fuel which is liable to stagnate inside the circuit thereof is cooled uniformly, due to the formation of continuous baffles which each communicate with at least one separate circulation channel and of which the peripheral baffles open out into a fuel admission chamber arranged in a zone diametrically opposing the circulation channels and which communicates with the injection nozzle for pilot fuel in order to achieve uniform supply and cooling of the injector.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating baseball strike zone detection. In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a method includes transmitting radar pulses by a phased-array of transmitting antennas in a radar beam pattern, detecting reflected radar pulses of the transmitted radar pulses at multiple receiving antennas, calculating multiple positions of a projectile based on detecting the reflected radar pulses, determining whether an incursion through a three-dimensional strike zone characterized by batter-specific settings has occurred based on the multiple positions, and providing an indication of the incursion determination for presentation to a user.

The invention relates to the technical field of solar utilization and particularly relates to a comprehensive utilization system of concentrating solar photovoltaic generation and water purification. The system consists of a condenser, a dirty water tank, a clean water tank, a combined receiving device for supplying electric energy and treating dirty water to supply clean water, pipelines for connecting the dirty water tank, the combined receiving device and the clean water tank, a water pump for driving the dirty water to enter the combined receiving device to be treated, and an electrode lead for outputting electric energy generated by a condensation solar battery in the combined receiving device. The system provided by the invention utilizes the condensation solar battery to efficiently respond the wave band of sun light to generate power, and simultaneously reuses the ultraviolet wave band of the sun light to treat the dirty water, so that the solar energy can be economically, efficiently and comprehensively used. Furthermore, the problem that generation efficiency is decreased due to temperature rising of the condensation battery, which is caused by radiation in a non-response range or a low-efficiency response wave band, can be avoided; more energy sources can be obtained at the same cost of the condensation system, so that the energy cost is reduced.
