Abstract: A cable tray system including two or more cable tray sections comprising a first side rail and a second side rail arranged substantially parallel to one another and a floor extending between. The tray system also includes one or more flex-wires for joining the cable tray sections, where the flex-wires can be U— or loop-shaped. Upon exerting tension on the flex-wires, the first and second cable tray sections can move away from one another from a first position to a second position. In addition, the tray system includes a fastening device that removably locks the tray system into the second position.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer-implemented method for deploying a software product to an environment. The method comprises defining an environment lock for the environment, the environment lock being configured to selectively prevent deployment of a software product to the environment. The method further comprises receiving a request from a requesting entity to deploy a designated software product to the environment, determining a status of the environment lock, and either permitting or preventing the deployment of the designated software product to the environment by reference to the determined status of the environment lock.

Abstract: The present invention relates to devices and methods for suspending telecommunication cables, power cables, and other items within a building. According to certain non-limiting embodiments of the present invention, devices for supporting an article are provided. The article may be, for example, one or more telecommunication and/or power cables. According to certain embodiments, the devices comprise a support arm that is adapted to support the article. The support arm is preferably reversibly and adjustably connected to a vertical support. As described herein, the vertical support rests substantially adjacent to a first side of a wall. The apparatus further comprises a horizontal support, which makes contact with at least a portion of the top side of the wall. This horizontal support is, preferably, connected to or integrally formed with the vertical support. In certain embodiments, the devices further comprise a second vertical support, which rests substantially adjacent to a second side of the wall, i.e.

Abstract: A sealed, negative pressurized, high temperature furnace, through which hydrocarbon contaminated soil is conveyed, is operated in the near-infrared heating region at radiation wavelengths between about 0.75 and about 3.0 um. The furnace, rotary sealed at the input and exit ports and maintained at a negative pressure, is in the form of an elongated cylinder, divided into four series-arranged heating zones, each of which is separately fed by a preferably stoichiometric mixture of a combustible gas, preferably propane and air. The flow of the gas/air mixture into each of the heating zones is regulated so that the first zone is maintained at about 2900.degree. F. normally, (3000.degree. F. maximum), the second zone is maintained at about 2900.degree. F. normally, and the third and fourth heating zones are maintained at about 2900.degree. F. normally.

Abstract: An infrared furnace has a housing with insulated walls defining an elongated straight tunnel disposed on a longitudinal axis between an entrance and an exit. A conveyor continuously moves through the tunnel along the longitudinal axis between the entrance and the exit. A first plurality of elongated tubular infrared heating elements are disposed in the tunnel above the conveyor in spaced apart parallel relationship transverse to the longitudinal axis. A second plurality of tubular elongated infrared heating elements are disposed in the tunnel below the conveyor in spaced apart parallel relationship transverse to the longitudinal axis. The housing has insulated walls each comprising a porous insulative inner panel and a non-porous outer panel. At least one of the outer panels is spaced from its associated inner panel to form a plenum chamber therebetween. The insulated walls define an elongated tunnel in which a source of infrared radiation is disposed.

Abstract: An infrared furnace has a firing chamber in which a source of infrared energy is disposed and an elongated envelope transparent to the infrared energy extending through the firing chamber. The envelope has first and second open ends outside the firing chamber. First and second baffle chambers surround the respective first and second ends of the envelope. A product conveyor travels through the furnace via the baffle chambers and the envelope. Gas flow is prevented from the exterior of the furnace into the baffle chambers and from the firing chamber into the baffle chambers. Non-atmospheric gas is supplied to the baffle chambers so as to create therein a superatmospheric pressure which prevents gas flow into the baffle chambers from the exterior of the furnace. The non-atmospheric gas is exhausted from one of the baffle chambers, thereby inducing flow of the non-atmospheric gas from the other baffle chamber through the envelope.

Abstract: Mounting devices are provided for mounting the end portions of a replaceable infrared lamp on the sidewalls of heating chamber formed of a compressed insulation material with sheet metal covers on the outer surface thereof. Each mounting device comprises a ceramic holder having a hollow cylindrical body with a shoulder on the outer end thereof and a bottom wall on the inner end thereof. The bottom wall has a concentric circular opening with diametrically disposed notches. One of the ceramic holders is positioned in each of a pair of opposing holes in the sidewalls with its shoulder secured to the sheet metal cover by a sealant. The lamp is held with its end portions extending through the circular openings in the bottom walls of the ceramic holders so that the metal terminals of the lamp protrude outside the sidewalls.

Abstract: A hazard prevention control circuit is provided for an electric heater having heating coils enclosed in a quartz tube immersed in a tank of solution. A circuit breaker is connected in series with a contactor coil controlling a set of contacts connecting the main lines of a power supply to the heating coils of the heater. Upon sensing a hazard condition, the control circuit causes excess current to flow through the circuit breaker to open the circuit and deenergize the contactor coil so as to open the contacts connecting the power to the heating coils. Transformers are provided for coupling power supplied by the main lines to the control circuit and the contactor coil and for coupling the pulse output of the control circuit to trigger a triac which conducts the excess current through the circuit breaker.
