Abstract:
Disclosed are electrode compositions that produce high strength and/or high impact toughness weld deposits that exhibit reduced potential for hydrogen cracking. Also disclosed are the compositions of various high strength and/or high impact toughness weld deposits that exhibit reduced potentials for hydrogen cracking. Related methods of arc welding the noted electrodes are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A welding flux formulated for pipe welding or one-side welding applications including a gas releasing agent, a high melting compound and a low melting compound. The welding flux is particularly formulated for limited pass welding applications which exhibit high impact strength, good slag detachability, low weld metal hydrogen and nitrogen absorption, and facilitates in the formation of smooth and consistent weld beads.
Abstract:
Tool implements are provided for use in manipulating of target substrates and materials, such as soil, plant or vegetable matter, and other materials. The tools include a body portion, a retaining strap and an aperture formed therebetween. All or a portion of one or more fingers of a human hand may be inserted through the aperture. When the user manipulates the tool implement, the retaining strap assists in retaining the users hand in close contact with the body member. The tool implements provide reinforcement and stability to the user's hand. The tool implements also provide one or more of a variety of tools that extend from the user's fingertips for manipulating target substrates. The tool implements also shield all or a portion of the user's hand from direct contact with the target substrates and materials, and in some embodiments, further protect the user's hand from being soiled.
Abstract:
Conformable design templates and methods for making and using the same are provided for rendering a design on or through all or a portion of a substrate, such as, for example, a pumpkin, other large fruit or vegetable, artificial replicas of the same, and other compliant substrates. The conformable design templates are particularly useful for facilitating the etching or carving of pumpkins and similar vegetables and replicas thereof for display as decor, and more particularly as holiday decor items. The conformable design templates include conformable sheets that are reversibly adherent when contacted with a substrate, such as when contacted with the surface of a substrate.
Abstract:
A liquid cosmetic product retail unit includes a container and a plurality of dispensers disposed in the container. The container is dimensioned to fit onto a shelf in a retail store and includes a base, a lid and a plurality of receptacles formed in at least one of the base and the lid. A method for offering for sale a liquid cosmetic product is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A software application, system of using the application, and distributed computer network comprising the application, are provided for managing professional services projects. Professional services practices typically employ distributed proprietary applications which complicate the ready transfer of data between and among applications. The database of the present invention is preferably built on an ODBC-compliant platform, such as Lotus Notes, and operates in conjunction with an SQL and Cold Fusion servers. Data is secured from other applications by the SQL and/or the Cold Fusion servers, depending on the format in which the data is maintained in the other applications, and supplied to an ODBC-compliant database, from which the data is accessible by the user.

Abstract:
A Halloween safety light glowstick having a symbolic long bone shape comprising a hollow shaft body that encases a glass ampule containing a chemiluminescent substance. A light is produced when the ampule ruptures in response to a bending of the plastic shaft body. Two locking arms that outline an articular joint member of a bone lockingly engage the glowstick to a costume. The articular joint member comprises a plug component that can be removed from the shaft body to provide access to the interior and to connect the shaft body to others, essentially extending a length of the lit body portion. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
