Abstract: A device, system, and method for maintaining temperature control of a distribution item, or of the contents of a distribution item, as the distribution item moves through the distribution network. A container housing an item can include a cooling unit, a heating unit, or both, and control circuitry including a temperature sensor. The control circuitry activates the cooling unit or heating unit as required to maintain the item at a desired temperature or within a desired temperature range.

Abstract: A sensor diagnostic system comprises first, second, and third dosing agent sensors and a control module. The first, second, and third dosing agent sensors indicate whether a dosing agent is present at first, second, and third volumetric levels of a dosing agent tank, respectively. The second volumetric level is greater than the first volumetric level and the third volumetric level is greater than the second volumetric level. The control module selectively diagnoses a sensor fault in at least one of the first, second, and third dosing agent sensors based on the indications of the first, second, and third dosing agent sensors.

Abstract: A control system for an engine system includes a temperature sensor and a diagnostic module. The temperature sensor measures an outlet temperature at an outlet of a cooling system. The diagnostic module estimates the cooling fluid temperature, determines the cooling performance based on the outlet temperature and the cooling fluid temperature, and selectively diagnoses a fault in the cooling system based on the cooling performance and a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An indirect heater for heating air to be used for drying, curing or heating having an enclosure housing a circulation fan, filter bank, heat exchanger module and a burner. The heat exchanger has a bundle of tubes received between a pair of spaced apart headers. A cylindrical burner tube extends through one header and the tube bundle and opens into the other header. The burner flame and gaseous combustion products are discharged into a replaceable sacrificial sleeve that is telescopically received in the burner tube. A fan recirculates the heated gases through the interior of the sleeve, burner tube and the tubes of the bundle to increase heat transfer to the exterior air. The enclosure has a base, two pairs of opposed sidewalls and a top wall overlying the sidewalls. Each sidewall has an inner skin, a framework of trusses, an outer skin and insulation between the skins.

Abstract: A releasable and gas tight sealing apparatus for construction panels of a paint baking oven which relieves the buildup of gas pressure within the oven in the event of an explosion. The apparatus has tongue and groove members and a compressible cord rope received in the groove members. In assembly and during normal use of the oven, the tongue is received in the groove and bears on and compresses the cord rope to provide a gas tight seal. In the event of an explosion, the construction panels are forced outwardly which disengages the tongue and groove members and relieves the buildup of gas pressure in the oven.

Abstract: A cylindrical tube is open at both ends but divided into two portions by a barrier having an aperture therein. Side branches are connected to the tube either side of the barrier respectively, the side branches leading to a pressure transducer for deriving an airspeed indication. One open end of the tube is arranged to face into an airflow so that a pressure difference exists between the two portions, the pressure difference being measured by the pressure transducer through side branches. The barrier may have no aperture, the portions then being connected by a restricted passage disposed between the sides of the portions or between the side branches. The outside air temperature may be derived by the provision of a resistive element within the restricted passage.

Abstract: A recirculating air heater for an oven is fired by a burner and connected with the oven by a return air duct and an outlet duct. The return air duct has two sets of louvers for admitting controlled amounts of return air to a combustion chamber and a burner bypass chamber in the oven. The combustion gases and return air in the combustion chamber are mixed and directed through a catalytic converter before being mixed with the return air in the burner bypass chamber and directed back into the oven. A portion of the gases directed through the catalytic converter are discharged to atmosphere and an equal amount of preheated fresh air is admitted to the heater. The inlet and exhaust ducts are provided with blowers and dampers so that the mass flow rates of fresh air and exhaust air are substantially equal. During oven preheating some of the combustion gases and heated return air are caused to bypass the catalytic converter and flow directly back into the oven.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to HIF-2? inhibitors and methods of making and using them for treating cancer. Certain compounds were potent in HIF-2? scintillation proximity assay, luciferase assay, and VEGF ELISA assay, and led to tumor size reduction and regression in 786-O xenograft bearing mice in vivo.
