Abstract: Rigid polyurethane foams are made using a polyol component that includes toluene diamine-initiated polyols containing specified levels of oxyethylene groups. Foams made from these polyols have low k-factors and excellent demold expansion values.

Abstract: An offset assembly for a circuit breaker includes at least one two plane member having a first plate and a second plate. The first and second plates are joined at an edge and extend generally perpendicular to each other. The second plate is structured to be coupled to the quick disconnect and the first plate is structured to be coupled to the circuit breaker terminal so that the second plate is not aligned with the centerline of the circuit breaker terminal.

Abstract: A multiple-hole terminal lug is for a circuit breaker including a load terminal and a conductive terminal extension coupled thereto. The multiple-hole terminal lug includes a mounting portion and a receiving portion having a plurality of receptacles for electrically coupling a corresponding plurality of electrical cables to the load terminal. Secondary mounting holes in the mounting portion align with primary mounting holes in the terminal extension in order to receive fasteners therein and secure the multiple-hole terminal lug in a first or second mounting configuration sloping upward or downward with respect tot the longitudinal axis of the terminal extension.

Abstract: A shutter assembly for a shuttered bus assembly is provided. The shuttered bus assembly is coupled to a circuit breaker housing assembly. The circuit breaker housing assembly is structured to enclose a circuit breaker assembly. The circuit breaker assembly is structured to move generally horizontally in and out of the circuit breaker housing assembly. The circuit breaker assembly has a plurality of finger connectors extending generally horizontally from the back side of the circuit breaker assembly. The shuttered bus assembly has at least one pair of conductors which extend toward the front of said housing assembly. The finger connectors are structured to engage the conductors. The shutter assembly includes a mounting assembly and a door panel. The mounting assembly is structured to be coupled to the housing assembly.

Abstract: A system for correcting the effect of radome aberration on line-of-sight signals indicating target position. The aberration is in fact dependent upon both operating frequency and ‘angle-of-look’ and the essence of the present invention is to separate the corrections appropriate to each of these factors. The apparent line-of-sight signals are subjected to a frequency dependent amplification the result being used to address a store of error correction data. The apparent line of sight signals are also used to address a second store of error correction data and the two sets of correction data are added into the apparent line-of-sight signals to give true line-of-sight.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for terminating a connector (12) to a circuit board (16) by coupling multiple contacts (28) of the connector to multiple areas of the circuit board, which leaves one face (52) of the circuit board free of holes so surface mount circuit components (22) can be mounted on that face of the circuit board. A termination adaptor (14) is provided that includes an insulative frame (64) with multiple through passages extending between its opposite faces, and multiple intercontacts (62) each lying in one of the passages. Each intercontact has a resilient beam (76) that projects slightly beyond a first face (70) of the termination frame, so when the termination frame is pressed against first face of the circuit board that has traces (80) on it, the beams resiliently press against the traces. Second ends (74) of the intercontacts form clamps that receive projecting ends or tails (30) of the contacts of the connector and clamp to them. The assembly avoids the need for solder connections.

Abstract: Assay method for the detection of nucleic acid sequences in homogeneous solution. The method comprises the use of fluorescence polarisation to detect hybridisation of a fluorescent nucleic acid probe or to detect fluorescent primer extension products. Assay kits for use in the above methods.

Abstract: A method of analyzing and apparatus for analyzing materials comprising subjecting a sample of the material to a non-homogeneous magnetic field having a predetermined time-dependency with respect to the sample such that a localized volume of the sample is subjected to a field the time dependent variation of which is unique with respect to the remainder of the sample. The sample is irradiated with radio-frequency energy to cause gyromagnetic resonance in the sample, and electrical energy produced by gyromagnetic resonance in the localized volume is measured.
