Abstract:

A firearm carrying case includes a rigid outer housing and a flexible inner shell and pockets defined between the flexible inner shell and the outer housing. The outer housing includes a body having a contoured wall with an engagement portion, a chamber, and an open end. The open end is defined in a first plane. The outer housing also includes an end cap having a contoured wall an engagement portion, a chamber, and an open end. The end cap open end is defined in a second plane such that when the body and end cap are interconnected, an interior cavity is defined. The engagement portions interengage along a line of separation disposed oblique to the longitudinal axis, such that disconnection of the end cap from the body is easier. The flexible inner shell includes a soft wall defining an opening and an interior cavity for receiving the firearm. The inner shell is selectively, cooperatively and slidingly received within the chambers.

Abstract:

A system and method for automatically maximizing the quantity of a fluid which can be placed within a tank car having a maximum product weight based on the lesser of either an industry maximum product weight limit and a maximum calculated product weight at 2% outage. The system includes a magnetostrictive probe having a movable float and a temperature gauge thereon and mounted within a tank car, such that the float is capable of being buoyed by a fluid. The system further includes a fluid pump capable of activation to transfer fluid from a bulk source to a tank car, and a controller coupled wirelessly to the magnetostrictive probe and an input device, and wired to one of either a fluid pump or shutoff valve, such that the maximum product weight is entered to the controller by the input device and the controller activates the pump or shutoff valve to begin addition of fluid to the tank car.

Abstract:

A towel system, assembly, and method enable a user to quickly identify, retrieve, and replace a moisture-absorbent medium. The towel system comprises, in combination, a circular towel, a support structure, and certain fastening structure. The towel is constructed from a moisture-absorbent medium and comprises a circular periphery, an anterior surface, and a posterior surface. The support structure comprises a vertical support surface. The fastening structure has a fastened thickness and is cooperable with the towel and the support surface for enabling a user to removably fasten the towel to the support surface. The fastening structure comprises towel-based and support-based structures. The fastening structure enables the user to removably fasten the towel adjacent the support surface a distance substantially equal to the fastened thickness for preventing contact between the towel and support surface and enabling the towel to hang within an air space surrounding the anterior and posterior surfaces.
