Abstract: A method and apparatus for transceiving multiple service data from multiple communication services to a SONET/SDH communication system or network is provided. A SONET/SDH universal framer (SURF) bidirectionally provides communication between a SONET/SDH communication port and multiple service communication ports using their native data format. A provisioning register stores provisioning information describing the communication system and the communication ports. A SONET/SDH byte engine processes complex hierarchical SONET/SDH frames storing intermediate states when it changes to process a byte of data of a different STS-1 equivalent frame in a SONET/SDH STS-N frame. A service byte engine processes the multitude of service data formats and generally its intermediate states are restored, processed, and saved when it changes to process a different data stream or a different frame of data of a given service.

Abstract: The invention is a cover for soda and beer cans that attaches to the can using a tab assembly. The cover is provided with a plurality of tabs surrounding the radius of the cover which will mate with the upper lip of beverage cans with a plurality of diameters. The top portion of the cover has an opening that matches the opening of the beverage can. The cover has a pivoting plastic occluder on the top portion of the cover which can be moved from a first position in which it seals the opening of the cover thus sealing the opened beverage can and a second position in which the can is not sealed.

Abstract: Formulations or compositions which are especially suitable to be contained in a water soluble or water dispersible bag containing a water dispersible organic gel. This gel is a continuous system comprised of effective amounts of hazardous product, a water soluble or water dispersible surfactant which contains a non ionic surfactant and optionally an anionic or amphoteric surfactant. This gel further consists of a gelling agent having, when it is solid, a particle size less than 100 microns.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning a tire mold with frozen CO2 cleaning material wherein a portable frame is positioned on a bottom mold of a tire press and has a rotatable frame on which a nozzle support is mounted for swivel action to clean the upper mold half and the lower mold half as the nozzle support is moved radially and circumferentially of the tire mold.

Abstract: A throttle control for an internal combustion engine comprising an electric motor and a motor drive connecting the motor to a throttle plate of a throttle body, whereby throttle plate control is established solely by the electric motor without a mechanical motion-transmitting mechanism between the vehicle accelerator pedal and the throttle plate. The motor is under the control of an electronic microprocessor that responds to a signal indicating that the engine ignition system has been deactivated. A command is sent by the microprocessor at the time of engine shutdown to the motor to actuate the throttle plate to an intermediate position, thereby avoiding throttle plate freezing and avoiding throttle plate sticking at closed throttle due to deposits, such as hydrocarbon deposits, on the wall of the throttle body.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a grain grader has an improved cleaning system utilizing cascades of rollers swingably engaged with a grading cylinder. In a preferred embodiment, a multiple axle roller assembly for dislodging clogged grain in the apertures is suspended from above the cylinder with multiple the rollers swingable in a downward arc to engage the cylinder. Such roller assembly may include a lifting mechanism to raise and lower the assembly for selective engagement with the rotating trammel and to facilitate removal and insertion of cylinders. The roller assembly has a plurality of stages to effectively provide unclogging action without gaps across the entire width of the trammel.
