An epoxy coating can be applied to a round surface by keeping the round surface in constant motion, thus defeating the tendency of the epoxy to run off the outer surface of the round object. The process is aided by mechanical equipment that rotates the cylindrical object about its center, while also permitting adjustment of rotational speed.

The truss-supported tool transport apparatus is comprised of a truss-supported tool box and an adapter. The truss-supported tool box has cleat extending from the bottom that are configured to fit over trusses in an attic. The truss-supported tool box includes fasteners on the surface that hold tools securely and compactly which is ideal for working in confined spaces. The truss-supported tool box can be mated with the adapter for working in confined spaces other than attics.

A boiler tube clamp including a first U-shaped midsection configured for pressing against one side of a boiler tube, a first hinge member arranged on one end of the first midsection, a threaded bolt hingedly attached to the other end of the first midsection, and a second U-shaped midsection configured for pressing against the other side of the boiler tube. The clamp further includes a second hinge member arranged on one end of the second midsection and hingedly connected to the first hinge member so that the first inner surface and the second inner surface close toward one another. A lip extends radially out from the second midsection and a jackscrew extends through the lip for adjusting the distance a boiler tube contained by the clamp extends into a boiler through a boiler header.

A Graphic Performance Index (GPI) for increasing performance of graphics in a process control system graphical user interface (GUI). A GUI is built from GUI elements for use on a device. Determining an element load time for each GUI element based a hardware profile of the device permits calculating a total load time of all the element load times of the GUI elements. And the load time is mapped to a GPI scale. Based on the GPI, the GUI elements of the GUI are altered to improve the performance of the GUI.

Graphic performance measurement system

A computer system and method removes or changes graphic content not discernable from the rendering tree stored in memory. The content modified depends on its redraw area in a physical monitor or a pane, which is contained within a layout in a frame. One or more frames are defined as part of a logical monitor. A physical monitor may have one or more logical monitors. Each redraw area is determined and graphic content is modified with different graphic having a memory use less than the original graphic that is determined not to be discernable based on the resolution and zoom information.

A support structure for a tilt cylinder of a machine that controls movement of an articulating implement may include a mounting plate, vertical support plates extending outwardly from a top surface of the mounting plate, and a central and side gussets connected to the top surface of the mounting plate and to the outer sides of the vertical support plates. The gussets assist in transitioning lateral or horizontal forces on the vertical support plates to the mounting plate and the end frame of the machine to reduce fatigue cracking at the points of connection of the vertical support plates to the mounting plate. The support structure may further include first and second lower support plates having top edges spaced from each other and connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate, and bottom edges connected to each other so that the lower support plates and the mounting plate form a triangle in cross-section to further assist in transitioning the forces to the end frame.

A boiler tube clamp including a first portion having a first substantially U-shaped midsection with a first inner surface configured for receiving and pressing against one side of a boiler tube, a first hinge member arranged on one end of the first midsection, and a threaded bolt hingedly attached to the other end of the first midsection, and a second portion having a second substantially U-shaped midsection with a second inner surface configured for receiving and pressing against the other side of the boiler tube. The clamp further includes a second hinge member arranged on one end of the second midsection and hingedly connected to the first hinge member so that the first inner surface and the second inner surface close toward one another. An open slot is arranged at the other end of the second midsection configured for detachably receiving the threaded bolt. A lip extends radially out from an outer surface of the second midsection and arranged adjacent to an edge thereof. A jackscrew extends through the lip for adjusting the distance a boiler tube contained by the clamp extends into a boiler through a boiler header.

A simplified and effective trap for small animals is illustrated utilizing positive linkage means for dislodging or actuating a trip mechanism to permit a cage door to fall by gravity and utilizing a gravity actuated latch for locking the door in lowered closed position.

Animal trap

A lever is pivotally mounted in the back of a cage at the center of the lever and is balanced therein. The lever has a first end in the cage with a tray thereon for bait and a spaced opposite second end movably positioned between a first pair of spaced parallel posts supported a predetermined distance from the back of the cage. A trip rod has a length longer than the distance between the posts and rests on the lever between the posts and the cage. A cord has a first end affixed to the front bottom edge of a trap door hingedly affixed to the top of the cage at the front thereof and a spaced opposite second end affixed to the center of the trip rod. The cord is guided along the top of the cage and around the cross bar in a manner whereby the trap door is held open and when an animal depresses the front end of the lever by taking the bait, the second end of the lever moves upward and knocks the trip rod free thereby slackening the cord so that the trap door is released and closed.
