Title: Slidable room assembly
Inventor: YOUNG JAMES SR
IPC: B60P3/34
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: A slidable room assembly (20) comprises a vehicle body (22) having an opening formed in an exterior wall, and a reciprocable slideout unit (24) or compartment (26) in the opening and slidable between a retracted position and an extended position. Sliding movement of the slideout unit is controlled by means of a drive mechanism which includes either one or two endless cables (62, 64). A plurality of sheaves (100), rotatably mounted on the slideout unit, define a path for the endless cable or cables. This path includes a pair of parallel longitudinally extending courses disposed on opposite sides of the slideout unit. Anchors (8) attached to respective longitudinally extending courses of the cable(s) and to adjacent portions of the vehicle body, effect relative reciprocation between the slideout unit and the vehicle body. Sliding movement of the slideout unit may be either motor driven or manually powered.

Title: Process for the removal of mercaptans
Inventor: PUTMAN HUGH M
IPC: C10G45/32
Filed: 2000-07-03
Abstract: A process for treating a full boiling range naphtha is disclosed in which th e mercaptans and diolefins are removed simultaneously in a debutanizer distillation column reactor (10). The mercaptans are reacted with the diolefins to form sulfides which are higher boiling than the C4 and lighter portion of the naphtha which is taken as overheads (5). The higher boiling sulfides are removed as bottoms (8) along with any C5 and heavier materials.  The bottoms (8) are preferably taken to a splitter (20) where a portion is taken as overheads and a heavier portion is recovered with the sulfides. Thi s reduced volume of naphtha may be hydrogenated to convert the sulfides to H2S  and diolefins, which may be hydrogenated to olefins and alkanes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de détection d'une variation dans  DOLLAR (i)GHI qui est efficace en tant qu'indicateur du dysfonctionnement de GH chez un individu. Ce procédé comprend les étapes consistant à comparer les échantillons test renfermant une séquence de nucléotide du gène humain  DOLLAR (i)GHI provenant de l'individu avec une séquence normalisée connue pour être celle du gène humain  DOLLAR (i)GHI. Une différence entre la séquence de l'échantillon test et la séquence normalisée indique la présence d'une variation efficace en tant qu'indicateur du dysfonctionnement de GH (appelé par la suite  </= variant de  DOLLAR (i)GHI >/= ). L'échantillon test est prélevé chez un individu présentant les caractéristiques suivantes: (i) défaillance de croissance, définie en tant que schéma de croissance [décrit par une série de mesures de taille; Brook CDG (Ed) Clinical Paediatric Endocrinology 3rd Ed, Chapter 9, p141 (1995, Blackwell Science)] qui, quand il est introduit dans une représentation graphique normalisée de la taille [Tanner et al Arch Dis Child  DOLLAR u(45) 755-762 (1970)], prévoit une taille adulte pour l'individu qui est en dehors de la plage des tailles adultes cibles estimées pour l'individu, l'estimation étant fondée sur les tailles des parents de l'individu.
