Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device supported by the chassis and configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover, wherein activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle, a body for storing refuse therein supported by the chassis, a first hydraulic pump configured to convert electrical power into hydraulic power, a second first hydraulic pump configured to convert electrical power into hydraulic power, and a motor coupled to at least one of the body or the chassis and configured to drive the first hydraulic pump and drive the second hydraulic pump.

Abstract: This invention provides a new category of inertial sensors (linear and angular accelerometers, gyroscopes, inclinometers and seismometers) called Molecular Electronic Transducers (MET). Unlike other inertial sensors, MET sensors use a liquid electrolyte as their inertial mass. The sensors do not contain any precision mechanical parts or springs, and are relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Abstract: A system and a method for depositing films of a multi-component material by MOCVD utilizes a flash evaporator for providing vaporized reactant material at a high flow rate. The high flow rate enables film deposition to occur at a higher deposition rate that what is possible with conventional MOCVD systems. The system may be a single-chamber system or part of a multiple-chamber system. The multiple-chamber system allows multi-layer structures to be deposited and/or processed in situ.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) ##STR1## in which R and R' are each separately selected from aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, aryl groups and aliphatic hydrocarbon groups substituted by an aryl group, are of value for use in medicaments for the control of free radical induced damage arising from reperfusion injury in tissue, particularly heart damage.

Abstract: A diagnostic test can determine the occurrence of myocardial infarction or the total plasma antioxidant status as a marker of predisposition to such an event, or the antioxidant status of other clinical and non-clinical samples. The test involves contacting a clinical sample in the presence of myoglobin and an oxidant therefor with a compound which reacts in that environment to form a chromogenic species with a characteristic absorption band in the visible spectrum spaced from potentially interfering bands attributable to haem proteins and other blood components.
