Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, an architecture is provided for a data processing system that processes data for a service provider itself or a client of a service provider as in the case of a third party processor. The elements of the architecture can be managed separately. For example, the architecture can be organized around eight subject areas, such as account, party, communication point, presentation instrument, rules, balances, transactions, and product. Relationships between each of the subject areas as well as between sub-types of each subject area can be established to provide flexibility in the management of the data.

Abstract: A degradation device for degrading tires includes an enclosed chamber (3) providing an annular housing space for a tire (1) to be treated. A microwave generator is connected to a wave guide (18) for splitting the generated microwave energy into arms (20 and 19) which are provided with outlets which will direct the energy both externally and internally of the annulus of the housing space. The microwave energy will cause the tire to break down into constituent parts. The chamber (3) is reciprocated and rotated with respect to the tire so that the microwaves will be projected relatively evenly through the tire. An inert gas is introduced into the chamber at (29), to limit the possibility of combustion or oxidation of degradation products created by the process. Volatile gaseous products of the process are drawn off through the exhaust pipe (26). Solid degradation products are created and are removed at the end of the process.

Abstract: A mobile pizza kitchen utilizes a pickup truck with a camper shell that covers the cargo bed. A radiation type intermittently operated oven and refrigerated case are located in the bed and covered by the shell. A clutched AC generator is installed under the hood of the truck and is driven by a serpentine belt connected to the engine. The electricity from this generator is used to power the oven, refrigerated case and other equipment. One type of oven that is suitable for this mobile pizza kitchen utilizes quartz halogen lights which produce ultraviolet and infrared radiation. In order to cook pizza, the driver must exit the cabin of the vehicle and open the tailgate and the rear door of the shell. Cooking occurs while the vehicle is stopped. The oven and the case are vented to atmosphere to prevent overheating of the rear compartment. The engine of the truck is left on while cooking so that the generator can produce electricity for the oven and the refrigerated case.

Abstract: The invention provides segments of HSV-1 and HSV-2 glycoprotein B which include antigenic epitopes in the gB amino-proximal region that react with human antibodies in a type-specific manner, and epitopes in the gB carboxy-proximal region that cross-react with HSV-1 and HSV-2 antibodies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cable protection system, and in particular to a cable protection system used to channel and protect cables or flexible pipes such as computer network cables, power cables, fiber optic cables, and hydraulic or pneumatic control lines laid within a cavity.The cable protection system comprises a sheet (10) of non-metallic material which may be shaped to form a channel. The cable protection system is adapted to fit between spacing bars (18) in a false floor, wall or ceiling.

Abstract: An improved hammer tool (20) for a boom mountable power hammer (14) for use in demolishing a work surface (12) of concrete and the like. The hammer tool (20) includes an elongated cylindrical body (22) having a first end (24) and a second end (26). The first end, (24) has a shank (28) of a size and shape to be received into the commercial power hammer (14). A hammer head (30) includes a top (32) and a bottom (34). The top (32) connects the hammer head (30) to the second end (26) at a transition section (38). The bottom (34) includes a convex shaped radial striking face (40), which is a portion of a sphere having a center (54) within a portion of the body. In use, the shank (28) and a portion of the body (51) containing center (54) is received and supported within the power hammer (14). The hammer head (30) is raised and lowered to make striking contact with the work surface (12) in a number sufficient to demolish the work surface (12).
