Abstract: An incinerator transport trailer has a chassis and an incinerator receiving and supporting cradle pivotally attached to the chassis for movement relative to the chassis between a travel position in which the cradle is positioned parallel to and extends along the chassis and a raised position in which the cradle extends generally perpendicular to the chassis. A first incinerator engagement is attached to the cradle toward a first end of the cradle for back-and-forth movement along a direction extending generally between the first and second ends of the cradle. A second incinerator engagement is attached to the cradle toward a second end of the cradle. The first incinerator engagement is movable to increase or decrease a distance between the first incinerator engagement and the second incinerator engagement to removably secure an incinerator to the cradle.

Abstract: An adjustable capacity gas incinerator includes a base portion defining a lower chamber through which combustion air can flow from outside the gas incinerator into the lower chamber. A combustion stack extending vertically upward from the base portion and having a wall defining a combustion chamber and a combustion gas exit opening through which products of combustion can exit the combustion chamber. The combustion stack includes a lower stack section and an upper stack section removably joined to the lower stack section and which is removable from the lower stack section to change a combustion capacity of the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A rooftop bracket or bundle jack system features a first unit arranged for fastening to a sloped roof near the peak, and one or more additional link units arranged to hang downward from the first unit. Each unit features supports for a step or platform for workers, supplies, tools, etc. Through this series of linked units, multiple steps/platforms are provided at different heights along the roof without needing to individually fasten each unit down. Hangers on the first unit are slidably adjustable to line up with the rafters or trusses beneath the roof sheathing for secure fastening thereto. Tie-off loops for fall-safety lines are provided on the securely fastened first unit. The step supports are movable between stowed and deployed positions, and detachable from the unit. Connection points for one or more utilities (air, water, electrical) are provided, whereby the system acts as a rooftop distribution point.

Abstract: The invention comprises a vehicle and seating arrangement having a central hub with four sides surrounded by four seats. The seats are arranged adjacent a respective side of the hub and facing substantially parallel to the side of the hub. In at least one embodiment, the arrangement provides access for each passenger to the aisle.

Abstract: A electrochemical sensor comprising a mounting having screen printed array of electrodes located thereon, the array comprising a reference electrode, a counter electrode and a plurality of working electrodes, wherein the working electrodes are each overlaid with an insulating layer of insulating material, the insulating layer having an array of apertures, exposing a respective array of working regions of the working electrodes, and a method of making same by applying screen printing technic, and a method of using same for chlorine determination.

Abstract: An apparatus is used to enhance the standing-surfaces of platform-components of an escalator or a moving walkway which moves in a continuous loop. The apparatus is maintained in a constant position relative to the moving parts of the escalator or walkway such that, while in that constant position, all the standing-surfaces continually pass under the apparatus as a result of the continuous loop of the escalator. When the escalator is in operation, an applicator-means of the apparatus applies a flowable enhancement-material, in situ, to the standing-surfaces of the moving platform-components. The material solidifies thereon to enhance the surface characteristics of the standing-surfaces of the escalator, or moving walkway as the case may be.

Abstract: The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclose a security transformation system which includes an e-mail client, a cipher proxy, a dictionary database and an Internet e-mail system. The system is capable of generating and receiving messages and performing a cipher substitution and encryption of key fields of messages when they are stored at a user's Internet e-mail system. When the messages are received or accessed the system permits deciphering and decrypting the message using a reverse security transformation The preferred embodiments of the method of the present invention comprises steps of generating and receiving messages at an Internet e-mail system, performing a security transformation on said messages, encrypting said messages, updating a cipher dictionary at a cipher proxy, and decoding and decrypting the messages when accessed by a user.

Abstract: A method of determining the presence and level of microorganisms and/or chemicals in samples taken from generally any non-laboratory substance or environment. The method preferably comprises one or a combination of the steps of (a) prescreening for threshold levels of targeted microorganisms and/or (b) confirming the presence of targeted microorganisms or chemicals by mass spectrometry fingerprint analysis.

Abstract: In a method for determining the presence of deletions in nucleic acids, a sample suspected of containing nucleic acid of interest is contacted with reagents including those appropriate for short PCR and primers flanking the deletion sequence. The nucleic acid that has been contacted with this material is amplified and identified. Wild type nucleic acids having long sequences between the sequences that hybridize to the primers are not amplified. Mutant nucleic acids are amplified. Thus, the detection of amplicons signals the presence of nucleic acid sequences having deletions. Contacting the sample with cleavage reagent specific for the deletion sequence cleaves wt DNA but not mutant nucleic acids that do not contain the deletion sequence.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing a charge of a battery. The battery which is to be tested is connected to a device which generates at least one of tactile vibrations or auditory vibrations. A magnitude of a charge of the battery is determined by a magnitude of vibrations generated.

Abstract: A universal suction canister pour spout adaptor for use with suction canisters of various designs to fit onto the internal or external pour spout of various standard suction canisters so that such canisters can receive materials through their pour spouts during surgical procedures. The suction canister adaptor has a series of stepped external and internal diameters sized for engaging the various sized pour spouts of various suction canisters.

Abstract: The present invention relates to adaptive information processing systems, and in particular to associative memories utilizing confidence-mediated associations, and especially neural network systems comprising an auto-organizational apparatus and processes for dynamically mapping an input onto a semantically congruous and contemporaneously-valid, learned response. In particular the present invention relates to such an associative memory system in which provision is made for improving the congruence between an associative memory, by impressing a desired response on an associative memory mapping based on complex polar values.
