Abstract: A vehicle includes a cabin interior, a dashboard located in the cabin interior, and a desk supported on the dashboard and movable between a stowed position on the dashboard and a deployed position extending outward from the dashboard, the desk comprising a plurality of interconnected panels having arms configured to engage a track to bend around at least a portion of the dashboard, and wherein the desk operably moves along the track when moved between the stowed position and the deployed position.

Abstract: A method for providing access to multi-file related tasks with version control is provided, including: receiving, through a task interface application executed by a client device, a command to open a task for processing by a local tool application on the client device, the command to open the task further identifying a specific version of the task; responsive to the command to open the task, transmitting, from the client device over a network to a server, a request for a plurality of files associated to the specific version of the task; receiving, by the client device over the network from the server, the plurality of files associated to the specific version of the task; initiating, by the task interface application, opening of the received plurality of files by the local tool application for editing on the client device.

Abstract: A method includes: implementing a first asset management system at a first site; implementing a second asset management system at a second site; processing a first set of changes to a first copy of a task stored by the first asset management system; processing a second set of changes to a second copy of the task stored by the second asset management system, the first and second copies of the task being synchronized; receiving, by the second asset management system from the first asset management system, the second set of changes; receiving, by the first asset management system from the second asset management system, the second set of changes; applying merge rules to the first and second set of changes at the first site and the second site, to generate first and second copies of a new version of the task stored to the first and second asset management systems.

Abstract: A version control system implemented on at least one server computer is provided, including: a database that stores a plurality of tasks, each task having one or more versions, each version of a given task having files that are associated thereto; a server process that manages versioning of the tasks; wherein responsive to a request to check-out a first version of the given task, the server process retrieves and serves files associated to the first version of the given task; wherein responsive to a request to check-in the previously checked-out first version of the given task, the server process generates a second version of the given task, and receives and stores files in association with the second version of the given task.

Abstract: A portable appliance testing apparatus includes a water tank and a pump configured to draw water from the water tank and pressurize the water within a piping assembly. The apparatus further includes a pressure regulator switch coupled to the piping assembly to enable control of the pump based on a pressure within the piping assembly. The apparatus also includes at least one appliance connector coupled to the piping assembly to enable attachment of an appliance thereto.

Abstract: A tow hitch that detects movement between a towing vehicle and a load and adjusts the braking forces of the load brakes proportionately to the movement, is disclosed. Said tow hitch comprising a load tow member selectively engaged with a vehicle tow member, a one or more sensors connected to the load tow member, and at least one of the one or more sensors is disposed between the vehicle tow member and the load tow member when the load tow member is engaged with the vehicle tow member. The at least one of the one or more sensors is in electronic communication with the load brakes, whereby the at least one of the one or more sensors senses movement between a load member and a vehicle member when the load tow member is engaged with the vehicle tow member and adjusts the braking forces of the load brakes.

Abstract: A beam clamp is formed with a pair of opposing plates having a central horizontal slot. A hook is pivotally attached between the plates such that a load can be attached to the hook. The hook further includes an upright that is configured to abut a vertical portion of an L-beam or similar structure. In use, a horizontal flange of an L-beam is received within the central horizontal slot while a vertical flange of the L-beam is retained by the upright.

Abstract: An adapter plate allows mating a spin-on cartridge filter to a Wm. W. Nugent & Company™ compact filter base and bracket assembly. A medial channel is configured to receive a medial O-ring and the peripheral channel is configured to receive a peripheral O-ring. The first face further defines four threaded bolt holes spaced apart to received four bolts extending from the compact filter base and when rotated in a clockwise direction draw the medial O-ring in the medial channel into sealing contact with an aperture boss extending from the base. and the peripheral O-ring in the peripheral channel into sealing contact with a shoulder extending from the base such that there is formed a manifold sealed by the cooperation of the medial O-ring in the medial channel contacting the aperture boss and the perimeter O-ring in the perimeter channel contacting the shoulder.

Abstract: A spinner tool has a shaft that is receivable in a rotation-imparting device, such as a hand-held drill. The shaft carries mounts in which the shaft rotates. Gripper elements are mounted between the mounts for radial movement relative to the shaft. The shaft is configured to move the gripper elements away from the shaft away from the shaft upon rotation of the shaft. This movement of the gripper elements causes the gripper elements to engage the interior surface of a hollow-cylindrical element in which the tool is inserted, so that the hollow-cylindrical element rotates together with the shaft.

Abstract: A remote server managing multiple client computers at a customer site communicates with a server at a service provider site. A proxy gateway at the remote server allows communications through a network to the server at the service provider site. Remote monitoring of the multiple client computers may be performed at the server at the service provider site through a central monitoring console.
