Abstract: The invention is directed to a railway car for the transportation of semi-trucks. The railway car may have an interior defined by a support surface for the trucks, a pair of upstanding sidewalls, and a roof. End doors may be located at each end of the railway car for selectively permitting access to the interior thereof. The horizontal width at the ends of the railway car may be selected to permit the trucks to be loaded into the interior of the railway car.

Abstract: A door edge protection assembly for installation on a railcar. The railcar has a side wall, a roof rail running substantially horizontally along the top of the side wall, a roof extending upwardly and inwardly from the roof rail, and a plurality of decks for supporting vehicles thereon. The door edge protection assembly includes a door edge protection member for cushioning impacts between a vehicle door edge and at least one of the side wall, the roof rail, and the roof. In the preferred embodiment, the door edge protection assembly also includes a clip for supporting the deformable door edge protection member in the interior of the railcar. The clip lockingly engages the roof to provide positional stability of the deformable door edge protection member relative to the roof rail and roof.

Abstract: A process for aseptically processing a milk based infant formula includes the steps of adding citrate ions to the formula at a concentration of at least 128 ppm and adjusting the pH to be at least 6.8 before subjecting the formula to a temperature of at least 132.degree. C.

Abstract: A method of separating phosphorus from condensed skim milk and from whey protein involves exposing the respective starting material to alumina particles while the starting material has a pH in the range of about 6.0 to 6.5. The alumina particles may be conditioned prior to use by exposing the particles to a solution containing a sulfate moiety. Both batch and continuous methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A shock-activated lock for attachment to a cabinet that prevents the cabinet door from opening in the event of an earthquake. The lock includes a slotted engaging member attached to the cabinet door, and a lock housing attached to the cabinet frame that contains a ball that normally rests on a raised shelf. The engaging member extends into the housing when the door is closed. In the event of an earthquake, the ball falls into the slot in the engaging member, preventing the engaging member from withdrawing from the housing, thus preventing the cabinet door from opening.
