Abstract: A fender mounting assembly includes a backing plate and a branch. The backing plate is configured to attach to a slip wall to mount the fender mounting assembly to the slip wall. The branch is configured to hold a fender a predetermined distance away from the slip wall. The branch extends from the backing plate and includes a first section and a second section. The first section has a first end and a second end. The first end is attached to the backing plate. The second section has a third end and a fourth end. The third end is attached to the second end of the first section. When the fender mounting assembly is attached to the slip wall in an upright position via the backing plate, the second section of the branch extends downwardly from the first section of the branch.

Abstract: A surgical mask provides a wide range of wearers with a good fit and improved comfort, facilitates proper use of the mask, and reduces or eliminates fogging of eyewear, as compared with typical masks. The mask may include a pair of ties that are joined to the upper, central, and lower parts of either side of the body of the mask with the assistance of restraint members. The mask may also include a sealing member that reduces or eliminates gaps between the wearer's face and the upper part of the mask by forming a seal between the wearer's face and the mask in use. In addition, the mask may include a barrier panel that reduces or prevents the wearer's breath from escaping through the mask and rising to the wearer's eyewear.

Abstract: There is provided a synchronization procedure built to gather customer multi-function printer (MFP) usage and to verify and aggregate gathered data and associate it with a customer and child sites associated with the customer. The aim of this procedure is to ensure that the client has been billed/credited properly and the services provider receives the monies that it is due.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a system for monitoring device status and for forwarding service notifications to customers. The system broadly comprises a first module for downloading and storing e-mail alerts from the customer's servers, a second module for interpreting the alerts and storing the alerts for action, and a third module for creating service calls and sending e-mail notifications.

Abstract: A fuel supply system including a filter removably securable within a filter housing mounted within a fuel tank and a pump removably securable within a pump housing mounted within the fuel tank and interconnected by a pipe. The filter housing includes an inner housing rotatably mounted within an outer housing. Alignable inlet openings and outlet passageways are formed in the inner and outer housings. A removable plug for closing an access opening to the inner housing includes lugs for engaging mating recesses in the inner housing such that rotation of the plug rotates the inner housing relative to the outer housing for rotating the inner housing between an aligned and misaligned orientation relative to the outer housing to control the flow of fluid through the filter housing.

Abstract: An improved protective garment in accordance with the principles of the present invention provides an improved interface between a glove and sleeve of the protective garment. An improved protective garment in accordance with the principles of the present invention is easily incorporated with the protective garment and economically cost effective to implement and use. An improved protective garment in accordance with the principles of the present invention provides an impervious partial sleeve having a surface exhibiting non-adhesive friction when in contact with dry glove materials.

Abstract: A method of controlling the compounding of a prescribed admixture, the method performed by a computer under control of a computer program, the method including: inputting the prescribed admixture; determining if a concentration of the prescribed admixture is within an allowed range; and if the concentration is within the allowed range, choosing which of at least two of the following compounding setups to employ (i) a high and a low flow compounding setup for the prescribed admixture, (ii) a low flow compounding setup for the prescribed admixture, and (iii) a high flow compounding setup for the prescribed admixture.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the compounding of pharmaceutical parenteral admixtures is disclosed. The apparatus preferably comprises a computer that contains a memory for storing instructions for operating the apparatus and for controlling compounders that prepare a prescription admixture, with the memory including data relating to a plurality of the pharmaceutical components that may be transferred to prepare the prescription admixture, and data concerning the operating characteristics of the compounders that the apparatus is adapted to control. The apparatus determines the order of admixing by general rules of admixing and by categorized compatibility groups of components, so that the number of rinses that must be done are minimized.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of immunology and provides immunoprotective compositions and methods for preparing such compositions from transgenic plant cells. The present invention also relates to the field of protein production (e.g., the recombinant production of enzymes, toxins, cell receptors, ligands, signal transducing agents, cytokines, or other proteins expressed in transgenic plant cell culture) and provides compositions comprising these proteins.

Abstract: A method is provided for vehicle stability control of a vehicle where the vehicle includes a slip control braking system that applies independent braking pressure to respective vehicle brakes of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes a steering system for applying steering intervention for stability control. The method includes detecting a split-mu braking condition and applying a steering assist torque to the steering system. A determination is made whether a steering wheel angle condition is within a predetermined threshold. An aggressive braking strategy is applied if the steering wheel angle condition is within the predetermined threshold, else applying a non-aggressive braking strategy.
