Abstract: A pneumatic tire may include a floating reinforcing layer disposed between a body ply and the sidewall of the tire. The reinforcing layer may extend from a point beneath the rim flange of the wheel to a point just above or below the maximum section width of the tire. By adding stiffness to the sidewall region at and above the rim, the reinforcing layer enhances the durability of the tire without sacrificing ride comfort.

Abstract: Failure tagging may be provided. A plurality of tests may be initiated on a program module and output resulting from the plurality of tests may be received. The output resulting from the plurality of tests may be determined to comprise at least one failure. The at least one failure may comprise an unknown failure or a known failure. Results of the plurality of tests indicating the failure may be transmitted. In addition, a request to stop one or more of a plurality of computers on a failure may be received when one of the plurality of computers encounters the failure. In addition, the program module may be transmitted to the plurality of computers configured to run tests on the program module. The one of the plurality of computers may be stopped on the failure when the one of the plurality of computers encounters the failure identified by the request.

Abstract: Evidence is presented that inflammation and injury involves activation of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) in the newly recruited mononuclear phagocytes (MNP). XOR has been shown to be increased predominantly in the MNP that increase rapidly in the lungs of rats that develop acute lung injury (ALI) following intratracheal cytokine insufflation. XOR was recovered from the MNP largely converted to its oxygen radical generating, reversible O-form, and alveolar MNP exhibited increased oxidative stress as evidenced by increased nitrotyrosine staining. Cytokine insufflation also increased alveolar cell apoptosis. A functional role for XOR in cytokine induced inflammation was demonstrated. Tungsten and allopurinol decreased MNP XOR induction, nitrotyrosine staining, inflammatory cell infiltration, and alveolar cell apoptosis. Transfer of control or allopurinol treated MNP into rat lungs and confirmed a specific role for MNP XOR in promoting lung inflammation.

Abstract: A mattress and a method of manufacturing a mattress are disclosed. The mattress includes a mattress core, a side rail joined to the mattress core by a one or more adhesive patches, optionally a deck applied over an area of the mattress core and joined to the mattress core by adhesive patches, and an upholstery layer defining a sleep surface applied over the deck or the mattress core and joined to the deck by adhesive patches. The adhesive patches have a bonding strength sufficient to maintain a relative position between the various mattress components at least during assembly of the mattress. The upholstery layer is permanently secured to the side rail by, for example, sewing or stapling.

Abstract: A neutron absorbing coating for use on a substrate, and which provides nuclear criticality control is described and which includes a nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and gadolinium alloy having less than about 5% boron, by weight.

Abstract: An asymmetrical wrench and fastener system comprising radially extending splines having opposing surfaces whose inner ends are inclined by different amounts with respect to a radius intersecting the respective inner ends to alter the torque between the tightening and loosening directions. This configuration makes it either easier or harder to loosen the fastener than it was to tighten it, depending on the amount the opposing surfaces of the splines are inclined.

Abstract: The present invention features a cleaning implement, such as a mop, that may be used for cleaning a floor. The mop of the invention typically includes a mop head and a handle pivotally connected to the mop head. The mop head also includes means for securing a mop media, typically a flexible disposable cleaning sheet, to the mop head. The mop may be passed over the floor with one side of the cleaning sheet presented for cleaning the floor. The mop head may then be inverted with the other side of the cleaning sheet presented for further cleaning of the floor.
