Abstract: An anti-theft vehicle brake including a lockable restraining hub coupled to a wheel. The lock's default state being engaged and preventing rotation of the wheel. The lock including a solenoid bolt controlled through the communication of authenticating information sent from a transmitter and recognized by a receiver, triggering the disengagement of the bolt from the restraining hub allowing rotation of the wheel.

Abstract: Water-in-oil invert emulsions containing no surfactant are formed by simple mixing of water with organopolysiloxanes containing all of aralkyl, long chain alkyl, and hydrophilic groups. The surfactant-free water-in-oil invert emulsions have a wide variety of uses, for example in compositions for surface care, antifog coating compositions, cosmetic compositions, and hair care compositions.

Abstract: A lighted post includes a stanchion and a light assembly. The light assembly includes a body, with a light emitting surface, and a light source that is coupled to the body. The light assembly is adapted for coupling to a power source for powering the light source. When powered light from the light source is directed into the body and is directed from the body through the light emitting surface. The light assembly is mounted to the stanchion, with the body being located in a light transmitting opening provided in the stanchion, such that the light emitting surface faces outwardly from the stanchion to thereby direct light outwardly from the stanchion.

Abstract: A method and rotational mask scanning apparatus for exposing a plurality of images on a workpiece, include a rotatable mask having a pattern of image segments thereon, an optical system for projecting the image segments onto the workpiece, and a device for at least one of rotating the mask and for moving the workpiece so as to continuously expose a plurality of regions on the workpiece with the pattern of image segments.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating particulate or powdery material from an entraining gas includes a housing defining a closed chamber having an inlet for the material and gas, an outlet in the lower region of the housing for separated material, an outlet for filtered gas and a tubular filter disposed between the inlet and gas outlet and mounted such that the gas must pass through the filter to reach the gas outlet. A first washing device is provided for introducing a washing liquid into the chamber and washing the interior of the housing and the filter, and a second washing device is disposed in an upper region of the filter and includes nozzles connected to the end of a liquid supply pipe which extends coaxially or concentrically within a back flow gas supply pipe.

Abstract: An integrated circuit and a method of altering such an integrated circuit (e.g., during final testing of the circuit) are such that the method can be used to program a circuit, wire around defective portions of a circuit, or otherwise permanently alter a circuit by employing a directed energy source such as a laser to sever electrical paths in an upper layer of metallization in an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit comprises a laminated upper metallization layer, the upper layer(s) of which laminate are removed from the laser-alterable lower layer at selected locations in the metallization layer to provide laser-alteration sites in the circuit. In a preferred embodiment, the upper metallization layer comprises a two-layer laminate including an upper, relatively thick layer of an aluminum/silicon alloy and a lower, relatively thin layer of titanium nitride.
