Abstract: A tubular side bar and mounting system may have a plurality of separate components that allow the tubular side bar to be mounted to a truck or other vehicle by one person. The system may include one or more mounting brackets that can be mounted to the truck before mounting a tubular side bar. After the mounting brackets are secured to the truck, the tubular side bar is then mounted to the mounting brackets. In this manner, a single person may install the tubular side bar to the truck. To attach the mounting bracket to the tubular side bar, the mounting bracket may be clamped along any point of an elongate channel formed in the tubular side bar to account for trucks with different mounting places. One configuration of the running board can be mounted to different trucks having different mounting places configuration.

Abstract: A magnetic drive and mechanical oscillator system comprising a mechanical oscillator, a coil, a means for providing alternating current to said coil thereby creating a magnetic field within and about the coil, said means including an on-off means and a ferromagnetic material in communication with the diaphragm of the mechanical oscillator and the coil.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention a measuring device compares the current generated by two working sensor active areas and gives an error indication if they are too dissimilar, i.e., the current at one sensor active area differs too greatly from what would be expected from considering the current at the other. Not only can this method detect when one of the sensor parts has not been properly covered with sample liquid, but it can also detect if there is a manufacturing defect in either sensor part or if either has been damaged after manufacture, since even with complete coverage of the working sensor parts, an anomalous current will be generated at the affected sensor part under such circumstances.

Abstract: The present invention is a mechanical oscillator metal loss sensor for use in a corrosive or erosive environment. The elements include a means for mechanical excitation, and a mechanical oscillator with two regions that corrode differently, where the regions are determined to affect specific influences on the resonance parameters, wherein said mechanical oscillator has a resonant frequency, f, and a quality factor, Q. In a preferred embodiment, the mechanical oscillator has the shape of a tuning fork.

Abstract: A system transports a device into a piece of industrial equipment for the purpose of collecting data inside of the industrial equipment. In an embodiment, the industrial equipment is a furnace and the device is an IR camera. The system opens a door covering an opening on the furnace, moves the IR camera inside of the furnace for a short time, the IR camera captures images, and the system removes the camera from the furnace and closes the door.

Abstract: Chimeric gene formed by the DNA sequences that encode the antigenic determinants of four proteins of L. infantum, useful for the serological diagnosis of canine Leishmaniosis and protein obtained, that consists of the prior employment of a cloning strategy. The patent describes the intermediate products generated during the process. A clone is achieved expressed in the protein rLiPO-Ct-Q (pPQI). To this initial vector, by means of the use of suitable restriction targets, DNA fragments are sequentially added that are encoded in other proteins and after each cloning step the correct orientation of each one of the inserts reduces the size of the expression products, the complete nucleotide sequence of the final pPQV clone being determined. A polypeptide is obtained with a molecular mass of 38 kD and with an isoelectric point of 7.37.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a large-way, symmetric multiprocessor system using a bus-based cache-coherence protocol is provided. The distributed system structure contains an address switch, multiple memory subsystems, and multiple master devices, either processors, I/O agents, or coherent memory adapters, organized into a set of nodes supported by a node controller. Each of the processors may have multiple caches. The address switch connects to each of the node controllers and to each of the memory subsystems, and each of the memory subsystems connects to the address switch and to each of the node controllers. The node controller receives commands from a master device and queues commands received from a master device. The node controller has a deterministic delay between latching a snooped command broadcast by the address switch and presenting the command to the master devices on the node controller's master device buses.

Abstract: A process for the destruction of cyanide in an aqueous solution containing an iron cyanide complex wherein the pH of the solution is adjusted to be between 11 and 12 and the solution is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation. The pH of the solution is subsequently reduced to between 8 and 11, hydrogen peroxide is added, and the solution is then reacted absent further radiation.

Abstract: Emissions of halomethyl ethers are controlled by contacting a gaseous effluent stream containing said ethers with a scrubbing solution comprising an alkali metal hydroxide, a lower dialkanolamine and a lower alkylene glycol.

Abstract: 1,1,1-Trihalo-4-methylpentenes, carrying 2-substituents selected from those conjugate bases of Bronsted acids which are leaving groups in beta eliminations, are reduced electrochemically to 1,1-dihalo-4-methylpentadienes, intermediates in the synthesis of pyrethroid insecticides.
