Abstract: A portable scaffold includes a base or chassis mounted on wheels for site-to-site towing or "man-handled" positioning at a job site. Rising rigidly from the chassis are two masts, spaced apart lengthwise of the chassis. A platform is vertically slidably carried by the mast for selective elevation and descent via power devices. Each mast may be increased in height by the addition thereto of a mast extension that functions as a prolongation of the basic mast. One of the power devices is alternately positionable to function as a temporary source of power for moving the scaffold through short distances. Strap elements are provided for temporarily bracing the masts from a structure being worked on by workmen on the platform.
Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for concentrating particles in a minute area on a solid surface. The method permits the detection of small amounts of analytes by providing for an observable signal in relation to the concentration of particles in the area.
Abstract: A justification system is provided for use in an electrophotographic printer. The justification system comprises a detector which detects the passage of individual segments of a continuous form which are being fed at a predetermined rate. A counter counts the number of main scannings of a laser beam carrying printing information over the surface of a photoconductive drum. A read control is connected to the detector and the counter and controls reading of main information stored by monitoring outputs from the detector and the counter so that printing of each segment always occurs at a predetermined position, synchronously with passage of the segments.

Abstract: A water sports apparatus, for simultaneous practicing of a number of types of water sports, being a container having an inclined floor surface and closable lower supply nozzle. Water shooting upwardly over the floor surface flows over an overflow into a supplementary pool which is subdivided into two regions, between which regions is placed a grate, and preferably, on the downstream side of the grate, a backflow valve. On the end of the inclined floor near the supply nozzle is placed an elevated water container, the water from which enables starting of the supercritical torrential flow, until a water quantity necessary for circulation and having sufficient velocity is returned through a return line from the region of the supplementary pool farthest away from the overflow. The region of the supplementary pool near to the overflow enables the athlete to exit from the apparatus without influencing the supercritical torrential stream in the water container.
