Abstract: The different advantageous embodiments provide a method for identifying changes in data sets. An ending version for a data set is received. A beginning version for the data set is identified. The ending version for the data set is compared with the beginning version for the data set. A number of differences is calculated between the ending version and the beginning version. A data structure is created that identifies the number of differences between the ending version and the beginning version.

Abstract: A low emission multiple sealing system for a floating roof liquid hydrocarbon storage tank is provided. The sealing system utilizes a double sealing arrangement in addition to, in a preferred embodiment, a conventional weather seal. The double sealing arrangement includes two functionally independent generally toroidal shaped sealing elements positioned one above the other and filling the annular gap between the floating roof and the inner surface of the storage tank. In order to provide for increased sealing efficiency and to eliminate the deleterious effects of wind and other ambient conditions, the double sealing elements are configured having effective vapor sealing efficiencies and are separated from one another a distance which will maximize the runback, to the tank, of liquid left on the inner storage tank wall during diurnal contraction and/or on liquid hydrocarbon unloadings.

Abstract: A guard rail device for attachment to a large wheel diameter vehicle. The guard rail device is attached in each side of the vehicle and comprises:A horizontal guard rail extending from about the rear of the front wheels to about the front of the rear wheels of the vehicle and extends substantially within the plane of the rear and front wheels of the vehicle. The guard rail device is positioned at such a height that when the vehicle is traveling across a road surface the guard rail does not touch the road surface. The guard rail device further has height adjustable attachment members for attaching the guard rail to the vehicle. When the vehicle is traveling across the road surface and an object collides into the side of the vehicle the guard rail prevents the object from falling under the large diameter rear wheels of the vehicle.
