Abstract: An assembly and method for storing a reductant, including ammonia, for use in the treatment of NOx in an exhaust stream, is disclosed. The assembly comprises a cartridge having an interior space, a disk formed from compacted reductant adsorbing/desorbing material contained within a heat transfer material, and, an expandable element positioned within the interior space of the cartridge for receiving a plurality of disks within the interior space of the cartridge. The expandable element or conduit may also be used to charge or recharge the adsorbing/desorbing material with ammonia.

Abstract: A cutting apparatus for slicing bakery products. Two circular cutting blades powered by respective motors are relatively positionable toward and away from each other in a cutting station. One cutting blade may be shifted to remove it from the cutting station when making cuts using only the other blade.

Abstract: A guidepost device to be located and positioned in a garage, or other vehicle-parking area, which is arranged to be engaged by the vehicle being parked, the device including a support-base member having an elongated flexible rod secured to the support base at one end and an indicator mounted to the opposite free end of the rod, the indicator being positioned to indicate a reference point for the driver of the vehicle. The indicator can be provided by an illuminated sphere or by a flat reflector.

Abstract: A replaceable guide post of the type generally used as a road marker and the like, wherein a flexible tubular post member is provided with a mounting-base structure that is arranged to be secured to a ground surface such as a roadway. The base structure comprises a support-base member adapted to receive and engage a lower flanged portion of the tubular post and a retainer collar member, which is positioned over the base member and the lower portion of the guide post, thereby clamping the post therebetween and affixing the base member to the ground surface. An alternative arrangement thereof further includes a removable mounting-ring member provided with a central opening having the peripheral design of the particular tubular post to be employed therewith.

Abstract: A guidepost for roadways or the like comprising an elongated tubular member formed from a flexible plastic material having a substantially "T"-shaped, cross-sectional configuration throughout the length thereof, the forward or front wall being relatively flat across its face and integrally formed, with sinusoidal-shaped side walls and a semi-circular rear wall defining the base of the "T"-shaped configuration, the forward wall having affixed adjacent one end thereof a reflector member. The lower, inner tubular section includes a filler core to provide and maintain its cross section below the ground line, the lower terminating end of the guidepost including a base member defined by an annular flange member.
