Abstract: The Neal avocado, which is a result of cross-pollination of the Monroe and the Brooks Late varieties, is large, averaging 1½ pounds and about 5½ inches in length, and has overall good eating qualities. The fruit matures and can be picked in February. The fruit is an ovate berry that has a hard shelled, pebbly textured, exocarp that is bright green.

Abstract: The Wheeling avocado, which is a result of cross-pollination of the Monroe and the Brooks Late varieties, is of medium size, averaging 12-16 ounces and being about 4¾ inches in length, and has overall good eating qualities. The fruit matures and can be picked in late February and March. The fruit is an ovate berry that has a hard shelled, smooth textured, exocarp that is dark green.

Abstract: The invention embeds an emulation module in removable media, for use in replicating an operating environment on a laptop or other remote machines. The emulation module prompts the user to capture environmental settings on an originating machine, such as display settings, network settings, input/output, applications, working data files and other parameters on a removable media. The user may then insert the removable media in a compatible reader attached to the laptop or other secondary or host machine, and upon activation of the emulation module reproduce the screen display, applications, data files and other resources on the host machine. When the user is finished working on the host machine, the emulation module may restore the settings of the operating environment on that machine to their preexisting state. Working data may be synchronized between the originating and host machines.

Abstract: A rotary tap changer or switch is rotated by a motor to a plurality of contactor positions by a control system having a cam that rotates to activate limit switches respectively corresponding to contactor positions. The activation of the limit switches causes operation of a relay which, after a selected time delay, operates to discharge a capacitor across the motor to apply dynamic braking and stop the motor. When starting the motor to rotate the tap changer, energization is applied through the limit switches to select rotation in a forward or reverse direction determined with some modification by the shortest distance of rotation to the new selected position.
