Abstract: A single switch is utilized within a common ground line to control the current flow through a plurality of loads, whereby power to all of these loads may be interrupted by opening the system ground return so that power can be supplied to a particular component of the circuit, a microprocessor, to the exclusion of all remaining components by the operation of a single switch.

Abstract: A frequency matched signal conduit apparatus wherein a micro-strip feed fabricated onto a material consistent with long vacuum life applications, such as ceramic or other crystalline materials, is used with a vacuum vessel signal interconnect, electrically connected to the micro-strip feed, comprising thermally resistive, electrically conductive material that provides high thermal isolation and low signal loss, for electrically connecting the micro-strip feed network to a device to be cooled.

Abstract: When operating a work vehicle such as a backhoe or wheel loader, it is frequently desirable to utilize auxiliary work equipment with the vehicle such as a pallet fork and a loading bucket. In the course of such operation, it is generally necessary to move the vehicle from one site to another, which requires movement of the auxiliary work equipment as well as the vehicle. The present invention provides a convenient coupling system for securely attaching a second work implement, such as a loading bucket, to a first work implement, such as pallet forks, for transportation purposes so that the connected auxiliary work equipment can be readily transported by the work vehicle from site to site, which is especially important when moving the vehicle over uneven and rough ground or surfaces.

Abstract: A rotomolded hydraulic oil tank includes an integral dividing baffle which strengthens the tank structure, and diverts and slows returning oil for better air removal and oil mixing. This occurs by positioning the dividing baffle so that the top of the baffle is just below the oil level in the tank so that returning oil must flow a greater distance around the baffle at a reduced velocity thereby increasing the time the oil is in the tank before exiting the tank through the tank suction. The lower velocity of the oil and the increased passage time allows air in the returning oil more time to float to the surface of the oil in the tank.

Abstract: An ejector blade carriage mounting system for connecting the ejector blade carriage to the ejector blade in a manner to accommodate variations in the fabrication of a truck body in which the ejector blade is utilized by connecting the ejector blade carriage to the ejector blade through a tri-pod arrangement of mounting bolts which incorporate shims and spherical seating washers to compensate for such variations and to ensure true axial loading of the connecting bolts. A fourth connecting bolt is provided to help lock the assembly in the desired position once the spacial accommodations have been effected.

Abstract: A non-rebreathing facemask removably securable onto a connector which is attachable directly to an aerosol medication system, illustrated for example as an aerosol cloud enchancer for use in respiratory therapy, or an oxygen delivery system. The connector to which the facemask is secured functions in cooperation with the facemask to provide a valving system for discharging a patient's expiratory air outside of the medication or oxygen delivery system, while permitting the patient to smoothly inhale inspiratory air.

Abstract: An article of furniture which may be configured in the form of a crib, a youth bed, or an adult bed, wherein a crib structure is produced through the employment of a rear panel, a right side panel, a left side panel, a front panel and a first mattress support frame. The front panel comprises of a stabilizer bar and a gate. The gate is movable to permit greater access to the confines of the crib. The gate may be in the form of a "swing" gate or a "drop" gate. The crib is convertible to a youth bed by rearranging and/or eliminating components forming the gate and stabilizer bar. The gate or stabilizer bar may be arranged to form a roll bar to prevent a slumbering toddler from rolling off of the edge of the mattress, and when pivotally inverted, eliminate the roll bar and function to provide increased stability. The stabilizer bar may be removed and reattached to the youth bed at alternative locations, where the same is substantially concealed while providing increased stability for the youth bed configuration.

Abstract: A removably securable locking device especially suitable for use with the loading door of a railroad freight car whereby the rotatable door handle which latches the door in a closed position is secured against unauthorized movement by a two-piece locking device wherein a handle securing portion of an insertion piece encircles a part of the door handle, and then telescopes into a receiving piece which engages a portion of the door gear box such that upon securing the two pieces of the locking device in telescoped engagement, the door handle is locked against movement until the two pieces are moved out from each other a distance sufficient to release the door handle from engagement.
