Abstract: An assembly method is provided for a vehicle having an axle assembly. The assembly method comprises fastening a drum brake assembly having a brake spider to a brake flange of an axle assembly and routing electrical lines through the brake spider and the brake flange of the axle assembly. The assembly method further comprises coupling an electric drive motor to an axle of the axle assembly, attaching the electrical lines to the electric drive motor and coupling a wheel hub to the axle assembly. The assembly method further comprises disposing the drum brake assembly inside a chamber of a brake drum portion, the brake drum portion located coaxial to the axle and disposing the electric drive motor inside a chamber of a brake adapter portion, the brake adapter portion located coaxial to the axle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel N,N'-difluorinated diazabicycloalkane derivatives which are useful as electrophilic fluorinating agents, processes for preparing such N,N'-difluorinated diazabicycloalkane derivatives and methods of using such compounds as fluorinating agents. The invention also presents novel N-fluorinated azaazoniabicycloalkane-Lewis acid adduct intermediates which are formed in the processes for preparing such N,N'-difluorinated diazabicycloalkane derivatives.

Abstract: N-fluoro perfluoroheterocyclic sulfonamides of the following Formula I ##STR1## wherein Het.sub.f represents an aromatic perfluoroheterocyclic radical of valency n and each R independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.30 alkyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.14 aryl substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.14 aryl, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl substituted C.sub.6 -C.sub.14 aryl group, are novel electrophilic fluorinating agents. Preferably Het.sub.f is a perfluorinated nitrogen-containing aromatic group, especially pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl or 1,3,5-triazinyl; n is 1; and R is perfluorinated, especially trifluoromethyl.

Abstract: Fluorinated diazabicycloalkane derivative of the following Formula I: ##STR1## wherein n represents 0, 1 or 2; R represents a quaternizing organic group; each R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 independently represents hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, aryl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl-substituted aryl or aryl-substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl and each X.sup.- independently represents a conterion or 2X.sup.- represents a single divalent counterion, are electrophilic fluorinating agents.

Abstract: A simple, inexpensive construction, utilizing commonly available plastic ing, hypodermic needle hub, suture materials and cyanoacrylic glue is provided for subcutaneous implantation within a test animal, one of the generally tubular structure being permanently affixed in communication with a selected portion of the gastrointestinal tract consisting essentially of the small intestines, colon, stomach or gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) of the test animal, with the other end of the tubular structrure firmly located behind the head of the test animal for easy access thereto. This invention, following implantation thereof into a test animal, may be readily utilized for the controlled delivery therethrough of multiple doses of one or more selected liquid materials for direct delivery thereof to the gastrointestinal tract of the test animal.
