Abstract:
A vehicle for conveying material is disclosed. The vehicle includes: an elongate vehicle frame; a hopper with a feed end and a discharge end, wherein the feed end is configured to receive the material; and an elongate material conveyor supported via the vehicle frame with a feed end downstream from the discharge end of the hopper and extending from its feed end to a discharge end. A substantial portion of the elongate material conveyor is configured to pivot about at least three axes, and the elongate material conveyor is adjustable among an inoperative position and plural extended positions.
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, an improved audio equipment is employed. The audio equipment includes a housing, audio circuitry installed within the housing, and a first protective bar flexibly connected to the housing. The audio equipment may also include a handle attached to the first protective bar, a second protective bar flexibly connected to the housing, and/or a connector assembly flexibly connecting the first protective bar to the housing. The connector assembly may include a flexible gasket preferably disposed between the first protective bar and the housing. Also disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing an audio equipment.
Abstract:
A digital wideband node (DWN) (28, 48) is coupled to a remote terminal (RT) (22, 42) that in turn is coupled to a subscriber's telephone line (26, 46). The DWN (28, 48) is configured to (1) pass a subscriber's telephone number signal directly to the RT (22, 42) whereupon a test path (25, 45) is formed with the subscriber's telephone line (26, 46), (2) pass POTS test signals directly to the RT (22, 42) for testing the subscriber's telephone line (26, 46) via the test path (25, 45) and (3) process wideband test control signals into wideband test signals which are conveyed to the RT (22, 42) for wideband testing of the subscriber's telephone line (26, 46) via the test path (25, 45).
Abstract:
Disclosed are 4-sulfide/sulfoxide/sulfonyl-1H-pyrazolyl derivative compounds of formulas (I) or (II): wherein the variables n, R, R1, R2, R3, R3′, R4, R4′, R5 and R6 are as defined in the specification. The compounds are useful for the treatment or prevention of diseases and/or behaviors involving the 5-HT2C receptor.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to an synergistic antimicrobial composition which comprises a mixture of an iodopropynyl compound and a dimethyldithiocarbamate compound, said mixture provided in an amount sufficient to protect a substrate from attack by one or more microbial organisms. The composition can be used broadly in industrial systems and more particularly with substrates such as paints, coatings, plastics, wood and wood composites.
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to pulsed spectropolarimeters for conducting remote, non-perturbative measurements of the local magnetic field, density and temperature fields of a magnetized plasma medium. In one aspect, a pulsed spectropolarimeter includes a light source emitting a polarized light pulse having sufficiently narrow spatial extent at a prescribed wavelength and a light gathering optical system including a light gathering optic having an optic axis directed toward the medium and positioned to collect and collimate a predetermined solid angle of the scattered emission by the pulse in the backward direction, toward the source, while preserving the polarization state of the emission. A proportion of the emission is redirected to a spectrometer detector to determine the spectral distribution of the emission. A second optical collection and spectrometer system collects emission other than backscatter localized to the intersection of the pulse trajectory and the focus of this collection system.
Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with a basket processing apparatus that includes a basket storage portion in a form of a horizontal load rail (2). A plurality of slide storage baskets (4) can be located in series on the rail (2). Each basket is “side loading” and the side loading aperture of each basket can be selectively covered by a slide retaining bar (6). When the baskets (4) are placed on the load rail (2) (e.g. by hooking or clipping the baskets onto the rail), the basket can be moved along the horizontal rail by a basket moving means. The arrangement of the rail and the basket moving means is such that the baskets can be pushed together and move as a “train”. Baskets moved to the pick-up end (12) of the rail can then be removed from the rail and processed. A vertical lift mechanism can be used to remove the basket and transport it to a processing device, for example a coverslipper.

Abstract:
The compound 4-{4-[({3-tert-Butyl-1-[3-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrazol-5-yl}carbamoyl)amino]-3-fluorophenoxy}-N-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide and alternative forms thereof (e.g., salts, solvates, hydrates, prodrugs, polymorphs and metabolites); pharmaceutical compositions which contain them; and methods for treating cancer using them.
Abstract:
A combination product including a mixture of 3-iodpropynyl-N-n-butylcarbamate (“IPBC”) and 2-n-N-butyl-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (“BBIT) for use as a fungicide and growth inhibitor in industrial applications. Combination products of the present invention are effective for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, and exhibit a synergistic antifungal effect against fungi such as, for example, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium funiculosum, Trichoderma virens, Chaetosphaeridium globosum, Penicillium sp., and Caratocystis Pilifera. Methods for using the product in metal working fluids, dry film coatings, in-can preservatives, caulks, sealants leather, wood, rope, cordage, textiles, ink, adhesives and polymeric materials are also described.
