Abstract: A method of detecting a combustion chemical in a region and setting an alarm based
on concentration levels of the combustion chemical comprises the steps of: monitoring
the region for a combustion chemical with a sensor having a measurable parameter which
changes in value proportional to concentration levels of the monitored combustion
chemical, the measurable parameter being ambient temperature dependent; generating an
ambient temperature measurement of the sensor; reading the measurable parameter and
ambient temperature measurement; processing the measurable parameter and ambient
temperature measurement readings to generate a temperature compensated concentration
level of the monitored combustion chemical; and setting an alarm based on the generated
temperature compensated concentration level. A fire detector unit for implementing the
foregoing described method is also disclosed.

Title: Composition and method to reduce peroxides in middle distillate fuels containing oxygenates
Inventor: SCHWAB SCOTT D
IPC: C10L1/182
Filed: 2004-10-27
Abstract: A reduction in the formation or presence of peroxides in middle distillate
fuels is obtained through the combination of a hydrocarbon additive
with the fuel. Specifically, the middle distillate fuel is blended with one or
more oxygenates. The hydrocarbon additive includes a polar function group
and a tertiary hydrogen beta to the functional group. Middle distillate fuels
incorporating the additive, the additive itself, and methods using the additive
all retard the formation of or reduce the presence of peroxides in the fuel.
The reduction of peroxides improves the durability of fuels systems elastomers,
enhances fuel stability and color durability, and reduces the formation
of fuel sediment.

Abstract: This invention concerns methods for synthesis and accumulation of fructo-oligosaccharides in seeds of monocot plants by selective expression of a fructosyltransferase gene sequence. Selective expression includes coordination of timing, tissue specific expression and especially subcellular location. Successful transformants utilize sucrose to synthesize and accumulate fructo-oligosaccharides in the plastid of the cell, in established crops, without loss of co-products or concern for yield loss due to degradation during maturation, harvest or storage of the plant. Enhanced fructo-oligosaccharide production will benefit the fructose sweetener industry and add value to grain used for feed.

Abstract: Bekannte Vorrichtungen zur Abscheidung von Flüssigkeit aus einem Gasstrom weisen als Abscheideelemente Zyklone auf, die mit ihrer Achse senkrecht bezüglich einer Anschlußfläche zur Anordnung der Vorrichtung an eine Brennkraftmaschine angeordnet sind. Derartige Vorrichtungen sind häufig in der Zylinderkopfhaube integriert, wobei durch die senkrechte Anordnung der Zyklone wenig Bauraum zwischen einer Motorhaube eines Fahrzeugs und einer Zylinderkopfhaube vorhanden ist. Dieser wird aber besonders für neuere Entwicklungen zur Verbesserung des Aufprallschutzes für Fußgänger oder für mehr Gestaltungsspielraum beim Design benötigt. 
     Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung wird die Bauhöhe der Vorrichtung in Richtung der Motorhaube verringert. 
     Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Symmetrieachse (4) des zumindest einen Zyklons (1) gegenüber der Anschlußfläche (11) unter einem Winkel von ungleich 90 Grad verläuft.

Abstract: There is an electric motor driven drop bolt having a housing which in use is mounted into a doorway frame and has the bolt pivotal therein by a mechanical drive set in a cage disposed at an operative position. The bolt is pivotal between a locking configuration where the bolt extends outward of the housing to engage in an aperture associated with a door within the frame and an unlocked configuration where the bolt is withdrawn to clear the aperture. The mechanical drive includes a screw shaft rotatable by the electric motor to move a roller nut along the length of the shaft whilst engaging a cam surface on the bolt. To obtain fail safe operation of the drop bolt the cage is slidable in the housing from the operative position to a disengaged position so that the bolt is movable from the locking configuration to the unlocked configuration without operation of the mechanical drive.

Abstract: When an attempt to move a projection lens in a horizontal direction (crosswise) in a state where it is positioned on the upper or lower side is made, it can be moved in the horizontal direction (crosswise) up to a certain range. However, a movement restraining convex area 54 in a vertical movable base 5 finally comes into contact with the corner 1c inclined at an angle of 45 degrees in a fixed base 1. After this contact, movement in a leftward or rightward direction and an upward or downward direction which are limited directions is limited. Even if a dial 24 and a dial 34 are rotated in the limited directions under the limitation of the movement, they are slipped, thereby making it possible to prevent a force from being forcedly applied to a driving mechanism.

IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid applying apparatus that prevents an applying roller (1001) from being degraded while contacting with an application liquid for a long time. Specifically, once an applying operation has been completely executed on an applying medium (P), the apparatus stands by for 60 seconds while holding the application liquid in a liquid holding member (2001). When an applying instruction is not given during this period, the apparatus performs an application liquid collecting operation of discharging the application liquid from the liquid holding member (2001). Thus, upon determining that no applying operation has been performed for a certain period after one applying operation has been finished, the apparatus collects the application liquid from the liquid holding member (2001). This avoids immersing the applying roller (1001) in the application liquid for a long time. Therefore, the applying roller is prevented from being degraded by the application liquid.

Abstract: A refrigerant-introducing chamber 12 in a body 10 of a refrigerant relief device and an open-to-atmosphere chamber 17 are isolated from each other by a metal thin film 13. The metal thin film 13 is tightly welded to the body 10. The metal thin film 13 receiving refrigerant pressure is positioned by a Belleville spring 19. When the refrigerant pressure reaches or exceeds a set pressure, the shape of the Belleville spring 19 is inverted to displace the metal thin film 13 toward the open-to-atmosphere chamber 17. A piercing rod 18 breaks the metal thin film 13. Refrigerant from the refrigeration cycle is released into the atmosphere.
