Abstract: A novel apparatus for the manufacture of high solid content lime and/or cement slurry that can be used in stabilization applications. The novel apparatus uses nozzles directed at a diffusion baffle to insure proper wetting of the lime or cement based material in order to produce a sufficiently homogenous slurry that sufficiently remains in suspension so that it can be used in stabilization applications without the need for additional mixing.

Abstract: A novel method and composition of high solid content lime slurry composed of a lime material and water that can be used in stabilization applications. The lime slurry compound itself is chemically treated, by means of a cellulosic or other thixotropic agent(s) and sucrose to create a thixotropic flow property controlled system wherein the wetted lime material remains in suspension, does not settle out prior to use even without further mixing and maintains suitable temperatures without excessive heat build. A novel apparatus and method for mixing the novel lime slurry is disclosed to insure the exact proportioning of all ingredients and the proper wetting of the lime material.

Abstract: Intelligent resource state memory recall techniques, and associated apparatus and methods, are disclosed. States of one or more video switcher resources in a resource state memory may be recalled to the same or different resources, depending on resource availability at the time of memory recall. A memory recall need not affect an on air signal. The memory may be recalled to recreate a desired program output, as defined in the memory, on a preview output of the video switcher, which leaves a current program output of the video switcher undisturbed when the memory is recalled.

Abstract: Removable cab components and a removable cab assembly for a vehicle. A durable cab assembly is provided, which generally includes a roof, a windshield and a rear panel that is removably attachable to the vehicle. In certain embodiments, the roof, windshield and rear panel are separate components, each separately removably attachable to the vehicle. In certain embodiments, each component of the cab assembly is removably attachable to the roll cage of the vehicle without comprising the integrity of the roll cage. The attachment and detachment of the cab assembly can be carried out manually, by a single person, in a short period of time, without requiring separate tools. The invention is also directed to the windshield, roof and rear panel as individual components adapted for quick attachment/detachment to a vehicle, and a method of attaching or detaching cab components or a cab assembly.

Abstract: Octafluoropropane or perfluoropropane is produced by introducing fluorine into an elongated inner zone surrounded by a porous member which is substantially resistant to fluorine corrosion and introducing a three carbon compound which is propane, a partially fluorinated propane, propene, a partially fluorinated propene, hexafluoropropene or mixtures thereof outside the porous member. When the porous member is metal, a perfluorinated diluent is used. When the porous member is fused alumina, conventional diluents such as nitrogen, or even no diluent may be employed.
