Abstract:

A system and method for remediating a body of water and collecting suspended and dissolved solids therefrom are provided. The system includes a water-impervious lining positionable in a depression in or adjacent a body of water. The lining and depression define a treatment vessel, which includes a treatment portion, an outlet portion for containing treated water, and an outflow weir between the treatment portion and the outlet portion. Water to be treated is transported from the water body to the treatment portion. An entrapment element is delivered and mixed into the transported water, the entrapment element for capturing suspended and dissolved solids in the transported water and effecting a separation between the captured solids and water cleansed therefrom. The captured solids can be removed from the treatment basin, and the cleansed water can move through a channel in the outflow weir into the outlet portion.

US Classification:

353 30, 353 94, 248157, 5274518

Abstract:

In one example arrangement, an immersive projection system includes an enclosure, and a number of projectors suspended outside and near the upper portion of the enclosure. The projectors project portions of a scene through openings in the enclosure and onto an inside surface of the enclosure. In some embodiments, light emanating from the projectors reflects from one or more mirrors before being cast onto the enclosure wall. The projectors and one or more mirrors may be mounted to a mounting frame that maintains the projectors and one or more mirrors in fixed spatial relationship, and the mounting frame may be mounted on a movable gantry for lifting the mounting frame to the upper portion of the enclosure. The enclosure may be a collapsible dome.

Inventors:

George G. Dewey - Prospect Heights IL
Ronald J. Allen - Geneva IL

Assignee:

Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

B25C 114

US Classification:

173104

Abstract:

In a fastener-driving tool, such as a powder-actuated tool, a nosepiece has an aperture, through which a fastener can be axially driven. A shuttle has a passageway to receive the fastener, as guided by a flexible tube, in a fastener-receiving position of the shuttle. A shuttle-moving mechanism is used to move the shuttle from the fastener-receiving position into a fastener-delivery position. A driving mechanism enables the fastener to be axially driven from the passageway, through the aperture, in the delivery position of the shuttle. A magnet or a spring, such as a torsional spring having an arm to engage the fastener, is used to retain the fastener in a pre-driving position. As a stand-up tool, the tool has a primary trigger and a secondary trigger, which enables the primary trigger to be remotely actuated.

US Classification:

451 41

Abstract:

The present invention generally relates to a process of and apparatus for manufacturing tile mosaics from at least two stone slabs, such as marble or granite slabs. The process comprises the steps of: a) cutting each of the two slabs into a matrix of pieces while maintaining the original orientation of the pieces, b) classifying the pieces of each matrix into two or more sets of pieces, c) intermixing a first set of pieces of one slab with a second set of pieces of another slab while maintaining the original orientation of the pieces, thereby forming the mosaic. The cutting apparatus comprises: a) a platen having a resilient layer for supporting the slab, b) a gantry table saw having a plurality of blades and a rotatable table for supporting the platen, and c) a hold-down rack for securing the slab and platen during cutting. At least two grippers are use to intermix at least one set of pieces from one slab with at least one set of pieces from a second slab to form the mosaic. By mixing the color shades and grain patterns of several different stone slabs, a mosaic having a handset look is achieved.
