Abstract: An apparatus for doctoring a cylindrical rotating surface, comprising a doctor back mounted for rotation about a first axis, and a blade carrier assembly mounted on the doctor back for rotation about a second parallel axis. A doctor blade is removably supported by the blade carrier assembly and is loaded against the rotating surface by a force applied to rotate the doctor back about the first axis. A liquid filled flexible walled tube extends along the second axis between the doctor back and the blade carrier assembly. The blade angle is adjusted by expanding and contracting the liquid filled tube to rotate the blade carrier about the second axis.

Abstract: An assembly is provided that is used to allow a bicycle to have seat height adjustment controlled by the rider while the bicycle is in motion. The seat height is adjustable to suit the needs of the operator. The assembly can include a horizontal lower channel which can be attached to a seat-post or seat-clamp of a bicycle and a horizontal upper channel that can be secured to a bicycle seat. The horizontal upper channel can be attached to the lower channel by four arms and can be raised and lowered by a control.

Abstract: The invention is an adjustable extendible (or telescoping) arm mounted on the shower wall of the typical tub and shower combination having 2 positions, stowed and active. The stowed (or normal/collapsed) position is against the wall, either the front or the rear wall (the nominal 30″ wide wall) of the shower. In the active position the device is positioned against the shower curtain pushing the mid to upper portion of the curtain outboard of the tub area increasing usable space for shower activities. The shower occupant rotates the collapsed arm toward the shower curtain and extends the sections to allow the arm to push the central area of the curtain out producing additional room. A secondary use for the invention is to use the arm to position the wet shower curtain inboard of the tub allowing the curtain to dry rapidly and prevent mildew. The invention is comprised of a flat plate with 2 ears which captivate the arm between them. A carriage bolt passes through holes in the 3 components. A knob with integral threaded nut is screwed onto the exposed threads of the carriage bolt. When tightened the knob produces friction against the arm enabling it to remain fixed in the desired position against the shower curtain. Once friction required for the specific curtain (s) is set by the occupant the invention requires no additional adjustment to maintain the curtain in the desired position.

Abstract translation: 本发明是安装在具有两个位置的典型浴缸和淋浴组合的淋浴壁上的可调节的可伸缩（或伸缩）臂，收纳和活动。 收起的（或正常/倒塌的）位置靠在墙壁上，即前壁或后壁（标称30“宽的墙壁）的淋浴。 在主动位置，该装置抵靠着淋浴帘，将浴帘外侧的中部至上部的上部推出，从而增加了用于淋浴活动的可用空间。 淋浴乘客将折叠的臂旋转到淋浴帘并且延伸部分以允许手臂将窗帘的中心区域推出，从而产生额外的房间。 用于本发明的次要用途是使用臂将湿浴帘定位在浴缸内部，使得窗帘能够快速干燥并防止霉变。 本发明包括一个具有两个耳朵的平板，它们夹住它们之间的臂。 托架螺栓穿过3个部件中的孔。 带有一体螺母的旋钮拧到滑架螺栓的外露螺纹上。 当拧紧时，旋钮产生与手臂的摩擦力，使其能够保持固定在防水浴帘所需的位置。 一旦特定帘幕所需的摩擦力由乘员设定，则本发明不需要额外的调节来将窗帘保持在期望的位置。

Abstract: A universal cross belt sorter system (1) consisting of four major components: a monorail track (26), a drive car (20), multiple cross belt cars (24) and system controls. The drive cars (20) pull multiple cross belt cars (24) along the track (26). The cross belt cars (24) are typically loaded with material, which is then discharged into outlets. An outlet may be a chute, a bin, a conveyor, a truck, etc. Sortation systems are typically used to consolidate material according to selected parameters, such as zip code, customer order, to replenish a specific store and many other identifying information. The cross belt cars (24) are loaded with material at induction areas (3). The types or methods of inducting material onto the cross belt cars (24) range from manual to semi-automatic to fully automatic.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to obstacle array devices (also known as bump array devices) for separating populations of particles by size. Improvements over previous obstacle array devices are realized by causing the fluid velocity profile across gaps between obstacles to be asymmetrical with respect to the plane that bisects the gap and is parallel to the direction of bulk fluid flow. Such asymmetry can be achieved by selecting the shape(s) of the obstacles bounding the gap such that the portions of the obstacles upstream from, downstream from, or bridging the narrowest portion of the gap are asymmetrical with respect to that plane. Improvements are also realized by using obstacles that have sharp edges bounding the gaps. Other improvements are realized by selecting obstacle shapes such that the critical particle dimensions defined by the gaps in two different fluid flow directions differ.
