Abstract: An automatic fluid shut-off device for interrupting fluid flow through a fluid supply path in a fluid delivery system. The automatic fluid shut-off device includes: a fluid flow sensor structured and disposed for monitoring fluid flow in a fluid supply path; a control panel housing, a central processing unit, and including a visual display panel, programming buttons, and indicator lights; and either a solenoid actuated fluid shut-off valve or relay that interrupts power to a fluid pump. The fluid flow sensor monitors fluid flow in the fluid supply path and outputs the fluid flow data to the central processing unit. The central processing unit compares the measured fluid flow value with the value preprogrammed for the particular operating conditions or for the particular active zone in a multi-zone fluid delivery system.

Abstract: This invention is a novel document preparation system in which a user is capable of viewing various permutations of a predefined portion of text. With this invention the display of variations in text is performed automatically. This provides a technique by which the developer can more quickly audit the results of his work and on the user's side it permits the user to rapidly see a wide variety of different transactions which is of enormous use to a young associate learning a particular practice area. In one embodiment, the user is provided with a subset of the total number of permutations of a particular portion of text. Various techniques are used to provide only "meaningful" variations of the text, thereby avoiding the need for the user to view what might be an extremely large number of permutations, many of which are of no real import based upon the task at hand.

Abstract: A light, easily-erected, collapsible pet carrier for use inside a motor vehicle such as a station wagon, for confining an animal such as a dog and protecting the interior of the motor vehicle from being soiled by the pet. A collapsible, lightweight frame of interconnectable members supports a flexible fabric cover whose upper portions are of substantially transparent and air-permeable material such as netting. The upper portions of the carrier provide ventilation and additional space for the animal within the motor vehicle, without obstructing rearward vision by the operator of the motor vehicle. A bottom member and lower portions of walls of the pet carrier are of waterproof flexible material.
