Methods and systems for organizing and conducting a computer-implemented simulation to support an exercise are disclosed. The method includes a processor receiving, via a first GUI prior to the simulation, configuration data representing at least: (a) organizational nodes, (b) organizational pathways, (c) interorganizational relationships, and (d) one or more first events that change the interorganizational relationships. The processor generates a framework of the simulation based on the configuration data, receives user input via a second GUI during a first period of time in the simulation to dynamically change the product flow allocation of the organizational pathways in response to the first events, determines one or more second events based on the user input to dynamically change the interorganizational relationships differently from the first events, and automatically updates the interorganizational relationships of the framework of the simulation in response to applying the second events in a second period of time following the first period of time.

A singulation conveyor is described. The singulation conveyor includes multiple rollers, for example, a first roller and a second roller. In some example embodiments, the first roller can be of a first roller cross-sectional profile and the second roller can be of a second roller cross-sectional profile. The first roller cross-sectional profile can be defined by a sleeve mounted around a circumference of the first roller and a dowel positioned between the sleeve and the first roller. Further, in some examples, the first roller cross-sectional profile can be different from the second roller cross-sectional profile. Furthermore, according to some examples, the first roller and the second roller can be configured to be rotated based on a first rotation pattern and a second rotation pattern respectively, to cause singulation of a shingled item.

A conversion assembly for transferring an item from a first tray to a second tray. The conversion assembly includes a paddle assembly, a first tine assembly comprising one or more tines coupled to a first rotating shaft, and a second tine assembly comprising one or more tines coupled to a second rotating shaft. The first tine assembly is configured to facilitate emptying the item from the first tray onto the paddle assembly and the second tine assembly is configured to facilitate moving the first tray to a second conveyor while the item remains on the paddle assembly. The first tine assembly alters an orientation of the second tray to a position to receive the item from the paddle assembly, and wherein the paddle assembly is configured to move the second tray and the item back onto a first conveyor.

Implementing application specific management policies on a content addressed storage device is disclosed. In one embodiment, each data object stored on the content addressed storage device is associated with one of a plurality of data sets. A corresponding data set specific management policy is associated with at least each of a subset of said plurality of data sets. The applicable data set specific management policy is applied to the data objects of each data set with which a corresponding data set specific management policy has been associated.

A content addressed storage device configured to maintain content address mapping is disclosed. A data object to be stored on the content addressed storage device and a local data object identifier by which the data object is known to the sending source are received from a sending source. A content address to be associated with the data object on the content addressed storage device is determined based at least in part on the contents of the data object. The data object is stored on the content addressed storage device in a storage location associated with the content address. A mapping that associates the local data object identifier with the content address is maintained on the content addressed storage device.

A protective tool for assisting in field dressing a deer, the tool having a protective shield of a convenient width and contour to be slid thru an incision made thru the belly skin of a deer just forward of the pelvic crest and hence into and thru the pelvic cavity between the inner surface of the crest and the colon, whereby the crest can then be sawed thru longitudinally along the crest without danger of the saw cutting into the colon or adjacent viscera and releasing meat damaging fluids.

A bowstring archery bow breech structure having a trigger for releasing the drawn bowstring solely by the physical action of the shooter, wherein a spring mechanism is provided which functions to impart a lost motion action to the pull at a preselected drawstring pull force, wherein the trigger is designed to be pulled by the shooter in an axial direction during the lost motion action and as the result of the lost motion movement of the shooters hand rather than by any independent manipulation of the trigger by the shooter fingers, and wherein the keeper structure is formed with a unique configuration of a shoulder and peg for holding a keeper loop and the bowstring in a more axial position with respect to the arrow axis during the non-firing and the bowstring release stages, and wherein shoulder means is provided for holding the pulled bowstring without the use of a keeper loop.

Archery bow breech device

An archery bow breech structure having a bowstring keeper and a trigger for releasing the drawn bowstring solely by the phyiscal action of the shooter, wherein a spring mechanism is provided which functions to impart a lost motion action to the pull at a preselected drawstring pull force, wherein the trigger is designated to be pulled by the shooter in an axial direction during the lost motion action and as the result of the lost motion movement of the shooters hand rather than by any independent manipulation of the trigger by the shooter fingers.

A breech device for assisting in drawing and releasing an archery bow string, the device having an elongated body, a trigger pivotally mounted on the body and extending generally upwardly beyond the top of the body, a latch arrest roller on the trigger and having an arc segment, a latch arm pivotally mounted at one end on the body and having a latch point at its other end, the latch arm being pivotal for engaging its latch point with the arrest roller within the arc segment and preventing pivotal rearward movement of the latch arm in its firing direction until the trigger is manually, forcibly, rearwardly pivoted toward its firing position, a bowstring keeper on one end of the latch arm whereby tension applied to the keeper by drawing of the bowstring will tend to pivot the latch arm in a direction tending to forcibly maintain engagement of the latch point with the arrest roller, and wherein the keeper has a non-typical large bowstring contact area.
