Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to carry two ATVs on a short bed pickup. The platform is designed so that each ATV straddles a side of the bed. ATVs rest almost 10 inches lower than most ATV racks for lower center of gravity and added stability. The wheels drop into an opening that restricts movement from front to back and from left to right. One person can assemble the parts by themselves. ATVs can be driven onto support platform on back of truck on a ramp angled at approximately 30 degrees. Wind resistance is reduced because ATVs are facing forward. Driver can still see behind vehicle through rear view mirror because of space between ATVs. Platform design allows for storage underneath the ATVs. Parts can be integrated for storage in a space approximately 102? long, 24? high, and 24? deep.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing fluid flow and flushing a transmission cooler. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the apparatus is designed to test fluid flow through a transmission cooler and/or clean out debris within a transmission cooler by using heated transmission fluid and air-inject technology.

Abstract: Compositions, methods, and apparatus for use in connection with printing inks, including screen printing inks. The printing ink contains microparticles made of a resinous or plastic material such as polyurethane or polystyrene. In one embodiment, a water-based screen printing ink composition includes 20% by weight transparent polyurethane microspheres having a mean particle size of about 18-25 microns and 5% by weight butyl cellosolve and 10% by weight water is printed using a 160 thread count mesh upon a 59# paper stock. That particular implementation produces a printed article in which the beads stack upon one another to effect a relatively continuous but random pattern of aberrations in the printed ink surface that provide a soft, leathery tactile property and substantially increased mar resistance. The mar resistance obviates the need to separately apply a protective varnish and substantially reduces production and materials costs.

Abstract: A fabrication clean room work station is portable and has a funnel-shaped cleaning area which is connected to a vacuum source through a bottom opening. The work station also has a perforated cover positioned across a top opening of the cleaning area to provide a work surface, a catch screen positioned across the bottom opening of the cleaning area to catch dropped parts, a funnel cover which slides over the cleaning area to enclose it, and a flexible tubing in communication with a port formed in the cleaning area. The port is positioned above the catch screen so that any parts vacuumed through the flexible tubing would be stopped by the catch screen. The vacuum source supplies vacuum at the work surface and at the flexible tubing. The vacuum at the flexible tubing is increased when the funnel cover is positioned above the cleaning area.
