Abstract: This invention is a power distribution system and backup power supply that includes a distinctive arrangement of electrical charging and power distribution circuits and batteries in a compact housing that mounts on utility light and electric poles. The device provides backup power using AC power line feed, and comprises of AC/DC converters for providing regulated rectified DC current for charging batteries, power detection and monitoring circuits to determine battery state information including current, voltage and temperature, and regulated AC power or DC power to an electronic device (i.e. wireless router). The device provides electricity to an electronic piece of equipment in event of normal power cycling or an unforeseen power outage. The device includes a housing that provides protection from environmental elements such as solar, wind and temperature cycles, and is easily attachable via a unique clamping arrangement to a variety of street light and electric pole designs.

Abstract: An aqueous superabsorbent polymer precursor composition that includes a superabsorbent polymer precursor prepared by polymerizing alpha,beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers in the presence of inorganic metal salt catalyst, and an optional metal ion containing crosslinking agent, and a method of making an absorbent article that includes contacting a mesh with a slurry that includes cellulose fibers to form a wet fiber mat, removing water from the wet fiber mat, contacting the wet cellulose fiber mat with the aqueous superabsorbent polymer precursor composition, and drying the mat.

Abstract: An internal memory uses a resource identifier to identify which functional program from an external memory is to be loaded into an overlay space of the internal memory. In executing a program statement of a main program to perform a particular functional operation without identifying a corresponding functional program, a prelude stored in a prelude space of the internal memory provides a resource identifier for the functional operation. The resource identifier identifies a corresponding functional program to perform the particular functional operation and the identified functional program is then loaded into the overlay space to be executed.

Abstract: A dockleveler having a lip that can be both moved between a pendent inoperative position and an operative position and moved from a retracted to an extended position. This feature allows the lip to be partially extended during an end load so that the lip engages a portion of the vehicle bed and does not contact the load. The dockleveler further includes a barrier that is resiliently mounted to provide a cushioning effect when impacted by material handling equipment. This feature reduces the likelihood of damage to the barrier and/or dockleveler, and further reduces the chance of disrupting a load carried by the material handling equipment.
