A system includes a form panel positioning apparatus for positioning an elevated form panel of a concrete form. The apparatus may include at least one positioning subassembly providing positioning of the form panel in at least one direction, and may include a first positioning subassembly with a first clip to clip onto an element of a concrete reinforcement structure, a first support rod engageable with the first clip, and a first positioning plate positionable on the rod adjacent to the form panel to support the form panel on the rod. The system may include a second positioning subassembly for positioning the form panel such that the form panel is supported in two directions, such as substantially vertical and substantially horizontal directions.

Apparatus and method for supporting an elevated form panel

A rebar positioning device with opposite ends for positioning adjacent to a form face of at least one form panel may include a support rod having opposite ends and an outer surface, with at least a portion of the outer surface being threaded. At least one bar clip may be movably mounted on the support rod. An orientation of the at least one bar clip on the support rod is adjustable, and a position of the at least one bar clip on the support rod is adjustable.

Adjustable rebar positioning device

Techniques are described that relate to various aspects of converting the mechanical energy of instrument strings to digital representations for use in a variety of applications.

Fret scanners and pickups for stringed instruments

A reinforcement bar positioning device may comprise an elongated main member having a longitudinal axis, with the main member defining a pair of apertures spaced from each other along the longitudinal axis. The positioning device may also comprise at least one securing member mounted on the main member and configured to secure a reinforcement bar in one of the apertures of the main member.

The present invention provides a method and system for scheduling service appointments based on service reminders sent based on the estimated mileage the vehicle. The mileage of the vehicle can be estimated based on the age of the vehicle, or it can be based on the last known mileage of the vehicle and estimating the additional mileage using average vehicle mileage statistics. The mileage of the vehicle may be estimated based on actual vehicle history, and may be adjusted based on the characteristics of the vehicle, the driver, or the geographic location of the vehicle. Service reminders sent to a recipient include a link to a scheduling server. The scheduling server provides a scheduling page allowing the recipient to view and select from available service time slots at the service shop.

Method and system of managing service reminders and scheduling service appointments using mileage estimates

An improvement in a method of bonding copper and a resin together wherein a copper oxide layer is formed on the surface of copper by the oxidation of metallic copper, the copper oxide layer is reduced to metallic copper with an aqueous reducing solution containing at least one amine borane represented by the general formula: BH,NHRR&prime; (wherein R and R&prime; are each a member selected from the group consisting of H, CH,, and CH,CH,), and the metallic copper is bonded to a resin. According to the improvement, a reducing stabilizer is added to the reducing solution in an amount sufficient to decrease consumption of the amine borane during reduction to a level less than that consumed in the absence of the reducing stabilizer during the course of the copper oxide reduction process, wherein the stabilized reduction process is initiated in a reasonable time and the metallic copper layer resulting from the stabilized reduction process is resistant to acid attack. Examples of such reducing stabilizers include thio-containing (&mdash;C(&boxH;S)NH,) compounds, triazole-containing (C,H,N,) compounds, isoxazole-containing (&mdash;C,HNO) compounds, thiazole-containing (&mdash;NCS&mdash;) compounds, imidazole-containing (&mdash;NCN&mdash;) compounds, and sulfone-containing (&mdash;SO,H) compounds.

Method and composition for amine borane reduction of copper oxide to metallic copper

A composition for reducing a copper oxide layer to metallic copper so as to facilitate bonding a resin to the metallic copper is disclosed. The composition is an aqueous reducing solution containing a cyclic borane compound. Examples of such cyclic borane compounds include those having nitrogen or sulfur as a ring-forming member, such as morpholine borane, piperidine borane, pyridine borane, piperazine borane, 2,6-Iutidine borane, 4-methylmorpholine borane, and 1,4-oxathiane borane, and also N,N-diethylaniline borane.
