A multisection blade for a wind turbine includes a hub extender having a pitch bearing at one end, a skirt or fairing having a hole therethrough and configured to mount over the hub extender, and an outboard section configured to couple to the pitch bearing.

A document shredder is provided with a transport system that holds and transports paper, and a shredding system that shreds the paper while rotating at a circumferential speed higher than a transporting speed of the transport system, wherein, a part of elements constituting the transport system is in common with a part of elements constituting the shredding system and a point of action of the transport system is placed substantially at the same position as a point of action of the shredding system, with respect to a paper transporting direction, and alternatively, the shredding system is arranged successively from the transport system. Since this shredder is assembled in such a manner that a part of elements constituting the transport system to hold and transport the paper is in common with a part of elements constituting the shredding system, it is possible to be downsized. Furthermore, since the points of action are provided independently from the transport system, it is possible to enlarge the speed ratio between the paper transporting speed and the rotating speed of the shredding blade, whereby the paper entirely up to the end can be shredded with reliability, by only onetime passing of the paper.

A fastening mechanism for fastening eyewear, such as spectacles or clip-on lenses, to clothing has a first and second clips pivotally connected by a pivot. The first clip has jaws is for gripping the eyewear on extremities of pivotally connected respective first and second jaws thereof. The second clip has jaws is for gripping the clothing on extremities of pivotally connected respective first and second jaws thereof. The pivot connects the first lever of the first clip to one of the levers of the second clip, and is situated generally longitudinally opposite the extremities of the first clip, thereby permitting the clips to be freely pivoted relative one another by gravity to suspend the jaws of the first clip, and thereby the eyewear, below the pivot. The jaws of the first clip have cushions which abuttingly contact the eyewear when gripped by the jaws of the first clip.

Described herein are synthesis schemes and methods for producing silicon based nanostructures and materials, including compositions and methods for synthesis of silicon-based nanowires and composites from three-component and four-component liquid silane/polymer inks. Materials and methods for producing silicon based micro and nanofibers that can be used in a variety of applications including material composites, electronic devices, sensors, photodetectors, batteries, ultracapacitors, and photosensitive substrates, and the like.

The present invention provides for replacement of conventionally-used metal electrodes in NEMS devices with electrodes that include non-metallic materials comprised of diamond-like carbon or a dielectric coated metallic film having greater electrical contact resistance and lower adhesion with a contacting nanostructure. This reduces Joule heating and stiction, improving device reliability.

A molecular-based switching device and method for controlling charge transport across a molecule. The molecular-based switching device includes a molecule having first and second nodes in between which destructive quantum interference restricts electrical conduction from the first node to the second node in an off-state, a first electrode connected to the first node and configured to supply charge carriers to the first node, a second electrode connected to the second node and configured to remove the charge carriers from the second node, and a control element configured to reduce coherence in or alter charge transport paths between the first and second nodes so as to reduce existing destructive quantum interference and permit flow of the charge carriers from the first node to the second node. The method applies an electric potential between the first and second electrodes, controls coherence in charge transport paths between the first and second nodes so as to maintain or reduce destructive interference between the first and second nodes of the molecule, and injects charge carriers from the first electrode into the first node and collects the charge carriers from the second node at the second electrode when the coherence is controlled to reduce destructive interference.

The present invention provides improved beadlet formulations useful for inclusion in dietary supplements customized for improving and maintaining ocular nutrition. In particular, the improved beadlets comprise DHA (docosahexaenoic acid); rosemary and/or its components; and excipients.

A work vehicle includes a hydraulic stepless speed changing apparatus and a gear type speed changing apparatus operable to receive output from the hydraulic stepless speed changing apparatus to convert it into a plurality of stages of speed. A return oil passage connected to a high-pressure side circuit of the hydraulic stepless speed changing apparatus is connected to a hydraulic tank. The return oil passage incorporates an unload valve and a throttle valve, between which an operably coupling mechanism is provided. This operably coupling mechanism switches over the unload valve to an unload condition in response to an operational displacement of a brake operating member for operating a brake to its braking side.

A transporting device which transports a belt-shaped base material by considering a longitudinal direction of the base material as a transporting direction, includes a first driving roller which transports the base material in the transporting direction; a second driving roller which is disposed to be closer to a downstream side of the transporting direction than the first driving roller, and transports the base material in the transporting direction; an inter-roller transporting path which is provided between the first driving roller and the second driving roller, and through which the base material is transported in a state where the base material is suspended in a direction of gravity and bent; and a tension applying portion which suctions a bent part of the base material from a lower side in the direction of gravity, and applies tension to the base material on the inter-roller transporting path.

To provide a sheet transporting device which can control sheet transport also with respect to plural kinds of tab sheets different from each other in terms of a tab position in a vertical direction with respect to a transporting direction without increasing the cost. In case of switching back the tab sheet, a timing for the switch back is controlled in accordance with a timing at which the sheet sensor detects a front end of the tab sheet.

An inking unit of a rotary printing press includes a film roller. The film roller has a structured outer surface that has a Shore D hardness ranging between 80 and 90 and a stochastic surface. The stochastic surface is incorporated into the outer surface of the film roller by peening.

A folding wheel transport assembly for a header of an agricultural harvester is disclosed as is a method for moving a wheel of such assembly from a transportation position to a harvesting position. The assembly is attachable to a header frame and includes a wheel, a wheel axle support member carrying the wheel, a linkage connected to the wheel axle support member, and an actuator for moving the linkage and the wheel from a transportation position to a harvesting position. The wheel axle support member is pivotably connected to the linkage whereby the wheel pivots inwardly toward the header frame as the wheel moves between the transportation and harvesting positions.

The present invention provides zinc complexes for use in methods of providing zinc to subjects in need of treatment. The invention further provides improved dietary supplement formulations for improving and maintaining ocular nutrition. In particular, the improved dietary supplement formulations comprise the zinc complexes described herein, antioxidant vitamins, minerals and excipients.

The present invention relates to a cross-linked PEG polymer coating that is hydrophilic, lubricious, and resistant to adsorption of biological matters including proteins and cells. The coating is created using plasma glow discharge polymerization of organic compounds with a formula R(OCH₂CH₂)_nOH, where R is an alkane group with 1-4 carbon atoms and n=1-6.
