Abstract: 2-Trifluoromethyl-5-(1-substituted)alkylpyridines are produced efficiently and in high yield from an 4-alkoxy-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-one by a condensation and a cyclization reaction. Both reactions are performed in the same nonpolar solvent without isolation and purification of intermediates.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a novel process of preparing 2'-exocyclic vinylfluoride derivatives of cytidine analogues for use as ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors. The novel process of the present invention utilizes a cytidine derivative as the required starting material and provides the ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor in a more efficient than the reaction sequence. The process is more efficient than the process disclosed by McCarthy et al. in European Patent Application Publication No. 0 372 268 published Jun. 13, 1990, in that it requires fewer chromatographies and results in an overall yield of greater than 25% for the five steps. The present invention further provides the ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor in a four step reaction sequence and results in an overall yield of greater than 35%.

Abstract: A sensor module supplying analog data signals from one of a temperature or pressure sensing element connects to a modular switch system through a D-shaped sensor port in the modular switch housing. The manufacturer and user may modify the standard modular switch system, which includes an internal electrical assembly to be a pressure or temperature switch by applying and removing selected sensor modules. The interconnection between the sensor module and the modular switch system includes particular leads carrying analog data signals and serial digital information signals. These leads are attached to a connector secured to the sensor module substrate. The connector is enclosed in a D-shaped extended portion of a cover which snap fits to an open end of the sensor module base. Mounted on the sensor module substrate are an amplifier, a reference voltage circuit and a non-volatile memory containing calibration data relating to the standardization of output signals from the sensors.

Abstract: A modular switch device includes a housing enclosing an interconnected control module, a display module and a power module. A sensor module supplying analog data signals from one of a temperature or pressure sensing element connects to the control module through a passage in the housing. A user connects his electrical wires and electrical power to the electrical assembly within the housing through an opening. The user can select between AC and DC switched output modules and the presence or absence of a 4-20 milliampere output module by plugging and unplugging same from wells provided in the housing. The manufacturer and user thus can modify the standard housing, which includes an internal electrical assembly to be a pressure or temperature switch and to provide selected output switch characteristics by applying and removing selected sensor and output modules thereto.

Abstract: An alignment control system for lateral irrigators. The alignment control system includes a dampening feature which monitors changes in the lateral displacement of the master and wing of the irrigator relative to each other and based thereon, operates the irrigator to dampen not only the lead-lag oscillations of the wing relative to the master but also the left-wing oscillations of the master about its preferred line of travel. A zero thrust expansion joint is also disclosed which enables the lateral displacement measurements at the joint to be independent of the force of the water pressure in the irrigator tending to push the master and wing apart. The zero thrust expansion joint includes a flexible member whose sides match the cross-sectional area of the pipes of the irrigator. The interior of the flexible member is in fluid communication with the water in the pipes and each side of the flexible member is attached to respective ones of the pipes at the joint.

Abstract: The present invention involves a central pivot assembly for a self-propelled, center-pivot irrigation system. The assembly includes an hydraulic slip ring arrangement, a pivot arrangement, and a support arrangement for the pivot pipe of the irrigation system. The hydraulic slip arrangement includes first and second concentrically positioned rings which permit hydraulic fluid to continuously flow along out and return paths between a stationary source and the moving, pivot pipe. The pivot arrangement of the present invention includes a pivot bar, sleeve member slideably positioned about the pivot bar and fixedly secured to the pivot pipe, and pillow blocks which slideably receive the ends of the pivot bar. This arrangement allows the pivot pipe to move in vertical planes to accommodate the up and down motion of the distribution pipe as it revolves about the central axis of the system.
