Abstract: A device for a warning or barrier gate and methods that use the device can include a first arm section that includes a tenon and an arrangement of apertures through the tenon, and a second arm section that includes a mortise and an arrangement of apertures through the mortise. The apertures can align, and fasten together, to form at least part of an arm assembly for the warning or barrier gate. Manufacture of the device can occur in the field during installation of the warning or barrier gate. The device can be reciprocated 180 degrees from a closed position perpendicular to a roadway to an open position that rests parallel to the roadway.

Abstract: A device for pivoting a navigation light and methods that use the device can include a mount assembly with an attachment for attaching the device to a structure. A pivot assembly can be supported by the mount assembly, with the pivot assembly mechanically coupled to a drive element such that a drive of the drive element pivots a navigation light to one or more operating, service, or hold positions.

Abstract: A device for pivoting a navigation light and methods that use the device can include a mount assembly with an attachment for attaching the device to a structure. A pivot assembly can be supported by the mount assembly, with the pivot assembly configured to pivot the navigation light to one or more operating, service, or hold positions. A brake pin with an end sized and shaped to fit within an indentation of a disc of the pivot assembly can secure the pivot assembly against rotation when the second end is accommodated by the indentation.

Abstract: A controlled dynamic radiant (CDR) oven uses a dynamic heating method to reproduce food material changes that occur during the frying process without immersing the food in oil. The CDR oven includes a conveyance system for moving food along a radiant frying path having various heating zones. The conveyance system includes individual food portion carriers. Radiant emitters, for example IR emitters, are located behind a spatter screen in each heating zone and to each side of the radiant frying path. Different heating zones utilize different radiant emissions to achieve various heat fluxes and heat profiles, for example, mimicking that of an oil immersion frying heat profile. The radiant frying path can be optionally oriented along a substantially vertical axis to minimize the oven footprint. The CDR oven also can be combined with refrigeration/freezer unit and a payment and dispensing system for vending of food product.

Abstract: The invention describes a method of manufacturing a color cathode-ray tube having a color selection electrode attached to a plurality of support studs distributed about and affixed to an interior surface portion of a faceplate panel. The manufacturing steps include: attaching a plurality of support means, each of which includes stud-engaging means, and at least one of the stud-engaging means comprising a washer having a stud-receiving aperture therethrough, to the color selection electrode; positioning the color selection electrode within the faceplate panel with the stud-engaging means positioned on the support studs; and, then, welding the washer to the support means.
