Abstract: The present invention is directed to a child resistant double seam container lid including an adapter ring for securely affixing to the double seam top rim of conventional double seamed containers that will be difficult for children to open, yet readily openable by adults. More particularly, a one-piece, two-piece, and three-piece child resistant double seam affixable container lid is provided having a first piece lid portion first, a second piece adapter ring locking member second piece and optionally a third piece securing unit piece, with rotational alignment indicators, and optional additional integral features such as a liquid measuring cup feature, a liquid tight lid feature, a threaded lid portion, a replaceable double seam container lid portion and a double seam container lid locking member adapter ring securely affixable to the double seam container.

Abstract: A method for hierarchical work scheduling includes consuming a work item at a first scheduling domain having a local scheduler circuit and one or more workgroup processing elements. Consuming the work item produces a set of new work items. Subsequently, the local scheduler circuit distributes at least one new work item of the set of new work items to be executed locally at the first scheduling domain. If the local scheduler circuit of the first scheduling domain determines that the set of new work items includes one or more work items that would overload the first scheduling domain with work if scheduled for local execution, those work items are distributed to the next higher-level scheduler circuit in a scheduling domain hierarchy for redistribution to one or more other scheduling domains.

Abstract: An athermalized optical fiber component assembly including a limiting member, a mounting structure attached to the limiting member, a temperature compensating substrate attached to the mounting structure, and an optical fiber component mounted on the temperature compensating substrate. The movement of the temperature compensating substrate as a function of temperature is constrained by the limiting member. Also, a method for manufacturing an athermalized optical fiber component assembly.

Abstract: A service valve and cap assembly is disclosed. The service valve comprises a valve stem that is inserted into a valve body. An upper portion of the valve body defines a collar selectively formable between a first installation inner diameter to a second retention inner diameter. A service valve sealing cap includes a base portion and a generally annular sealing portion. An annular shoulder is formed on the sealing portion inner diameter, such that the radially inner diameter of the shoulder portion is less than the collar first outer diameter, and is greater than the collar second outer diameter.

Abstract: Benzo or pyridopyridazinones and pyridazinthiones of the formula ##STR1## wherein: X and Y are nitrogen or carbon, provided that at least one is carbon, and Z is oxygen or sulfur;R.sup.1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, heterocyclo, heterocyclo lower-alkyl, heteroaryl, or heteroaralkyl;R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are independently selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl, halo, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl, carbamoyl, lower-alkyl carbonyl, halocarbonyl, thiomethyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano or nitro;or a pharmaceutically acceptable ester, ether or salt thereof, have been found to be useful as an anti-inflammatory, antasthmatic, immunosuppressive, anti-allograft rejection, anti-graft-vs-host rejection, autoimmune disease or analgetic agent(s).

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for preparing 1-butyl-2-[2'-(2H-tetrasol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-ylmethyl]-1H-indole-3-carboxyli c acid and to intermediates useful in such processes. The present invention also relates to a process for deprotecting compounds containing a protected 2H-tetrasolyl group, which process comprises reacting a the protected compound with a Lewis acid in the presence of a thiol.

Abstract: A process for preparing a cyclic amine of Formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is phenyl, optionally substituted by 1 to 3 lower alkoxy groups;R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl; andn is 1 or 2,comprises(1) converting an aminoalcohol of Formula III ##STR2## to a dioxooxathiazolidine of Formula II ##STR3## in which R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and n are as defined above; and (2) reacting the dioxooxathiazolidine of Formula II with an organometallic nucleophile, R.sup.1 M*, wherein R.sup.1 is as defined above, and hydrolyzing the resulting sulfamate salt.

Abstract: A central core unit for ventilating and providing utility connections to peripheral workspaces disposed adjacent at least one electrical terminal, includes a cabinet having walls for enclosing the electrical terminal, a workspace fan mounted in a side wall of the cabinet, the workspace fan being operable to draw air from the workspace into a plenum defined by the walls of the cabinet, an air filter mounted in one of the walls of the cabinet, the air filter cleaning air drawn in by the fan and discharging the air back into the workspace and at least one electrical outlet mounted in one of the walls of the cabinet, the outlet providing connection to the electrical terminal through the cabinet.

Abstract: A fish stringer for temporarily storing captured fish in the water, has a recoil mechanism operatively coupled with the hook-supporting line of the stringer to permit selective extension and retraction of the line in accordance with the needs of the angler. The multiple fish-securing hooks in the stringer are shiftably attached to the line for sliding movement along the length of the latter whereby the hooks may be segregated from recoiled portions of the line. In preferred forms, the recoil mechanism is stored within a housing having a line-accommodating passageway formed therein of a dimension sufficient to preclude the hooks from entering the housing. A retainer clip on the housing holds the hooks in a convenient out of the way position until such time as they may be required for retaining fish.

Abstract: A cabinet having at least two sections, one rotatable with respect to the other, and an upper section having a top slidable in two directions.
