Abstract: An exhaust treatment device includes a dosing and mixing assembly having a wire mesh puck. A retaining arrangement holds the mesh puck and maintains the mesh puck in an axially compressed state. The compressive force may be sufficient to inhibit rotation of the wire mesh. A peripheral side of the wire mesh is allowed to float while edges of the axial ends are trapped between at least two stop members of the retaining arrangement.

Abstract: A container comprising a body including a floor having two sides and two ends, a front side wall appended to the floor along one side of the floor, a rear side wall appended to the floor along a second side of the floor to lie opposite the front side wall, first and second end panel support flaps appended to the front side wall, third and fourth end panel support flaps appended to the rear side wall, right and left end flaps appended to the floor at each end respectively, and first and second tab receiving apertures extending through the floor adjacent the points of appending of the first and second end panel support flaps respectively, a left-side end panel separately formed from a material unconnected to the body and positioned to lie at one end of the floor between the front and rear side walls and formed to include a left-side pocket receiving the first and third end panel support flaps therein and having at least one stacking tab insertable into the first tab receiving aperture, and a right-side end pane

Abstract: A system is provided for converting representations of year. The system includes a database which stores a representation of year in either a two-digit format or a four-digit format. A processor, coupled to the database, converts the representation into the other of the two-digit format or the four-digit format if the represented year falls within a floating window of years. If the represented year does not fall within the floating window, the processor rejects the representation.

Abstract: A paperboard tray is provided with sidewalls forming a T-shaped beam. Optional corner posts may be provided to further increase the stacking strength of the tray. An optional cover may also be employed to provide a sealed container assembly.

Abstract: A vehicular muffler has a body with endcaps mounted on opposed ends thereof. The body has an outer wrap and an inner wrap. The outer wrap is sheet metal having opposed edges overlapping each other to form a closed figure. The opposed overlapping edges are an outer edge and an inner edge. The inner wrap is sheet metal having opposed margins overlapping each other. The opposed margins are an inner margin and an outer margin. The inner margin has a portion adjacent to the inner edge. The outer margin is positioned between the inner margin and the outer wrap to form a gap between the terminus of the outer margin and the terminus of the inner edge.
