Abstract: An automotive engine oil and/or fuel comprising a base stock and an organic polymeric friction reducing additive is claimed. A method of reducing friction in an automotive engine oil and/or fuel by the addition of the organic polymeric friction reducing additive to the base stock is also claimed.

Abstract: A fuel emulsion consists of diesel, water and an emulsifier composition having a hydrophile/lipophile balance value of at least 4. The emulsifier composition comprises a polymeric non-ionic surfactant having hydrophilic and hydrophobic repeating units together with at least one component selected from fatty acid esters or partial esters of polyhydric alcohols; alkoxylated fatty acid esters or partial esters of polyhydric alcohols; and alkoxylated primary alcohols. Preferred emulsifier compositions according to the invention include mixtures of the polymeric non-ionic surfactant with at least two of the components. Especially preferred compositions comprise mixtures of the polymeric non-ionic surfactant with the fatty acid (partial) esters or alkoxylated fatty acid (partial) esters. The emulsifier composition may include an emulsion coupler such as a primary alcohol, e.g. octanol.

Abstract: An encoder reset device and method that allows for an encoder to be reset and/or recharged at virtually any location. A reset device and method of the present invention also allows the reset/charging process to take place simultaneously with the removal of an encoder-equipped device that is being replaced, as a device of the present invention does not require the use of an encoder-equipped device controller to perform the reset/charging process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and systems for isolating hazardous agents and organisms from their handlers and the public. In particular, the present invention relates to modular negative pressure biological containment chambers.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a search report of combined data, the apparatus including a processor, a formatter coupled to the processor, the formatter formatting combined data into text data in a first format and into numerical/tabular data in a second format and storing each in storage, a search module executing on the processor, the search module searching the text data and mapping the located text data to correlated numerical/tabular data, or the search module searching the numerical/tabular data and mapping the located numerical/tabular data to correlated text data and a report module executing on the processor, the report module integrating the located and correlated text and numerical/tabular data into a report.

Abstract: A method and system for distributing multimedia signals to a subscriber from a headend unit using a tap. The multimedia signals are transmitted on a network media as a composite RF and AC signal. A tap is upgraded by with a circuit that separates the AC from the RF signal in the composite signal. The separated AC signal is split in the upgraded tap. The RF signals are split in a circuit on the faceplate of the tap. The AC signal is fed to a power distribution unit which generates an AC output signal that is surge protected, RF filtered and current limited. The split RF signal and AC output signals are fed to connectors on the faceplate. By providing a tap where the AC and RF signal are separated in the same unit, the system can be upgraded with a power distribution unit when AC signals are required to supply power to subscriber equipment.
