Abstract: A railroad crossing gate electrical control system for moving a crossing gate in up and down directions also provides for raising the gate counterweights in a failure mode. The control system includes an electric motor having a plurality of electromagnet poles and an armature rotating inside of the poles, with armature movement controlling gate movement. There is a motor and snub relay having contacts connected to the armature and the motor poles. A terminal board has movable contacts which are connected to the motor and snub relay and to a relay coil for moving the contacts of the snub relay. A source of power is connected to the terminal board. The movable terminal board contacts control the application of power to the motor and snub relay coil and the motor and snub relay contacts for operating the motor to cause up and down gate movement. There is a maintenance relay having a coil connected through a normally open switch to the source of power.  The maintenance relay has contacts thereof connectable to the source of power and the motor, whereby closure of the normally open switch powers the maintenance relay coil to cause the contacts thereof to directly connect the source of power to the motor to cause the gate counterweights to be raised by armature movement.

Title: Tenebrio antifreeze proteins
Inventor: GRAHAM LAURIE A
IPC: C09K5/08
Filed: 1998-06-25
Granted: 2011-11-15
Abstract: Thermal hysteresis (antifreeze) proteins (THP) that have up to 100 times the specific activity of fish antifreeze proteins have been isolated and purified from the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor. Internal sequencing of the proteins, leading to cDNA cloning and production of the protein in bacteria has confirmed the identity and activity of the 8.4 to 10.7 kDa THP. They are Thr- and Cys-rich proteins composed largely of 12-amino-acid repeats of cys-thr-xaa-ser-xaa-xaa-cys-xaa-xaa-ala-xaa-thr. At a concentration of 55 micrograms/mL, the THP depressed the freezing point 1.6 ~C below the melting point, and at a concentration of 1 mg/mL the THP or its variants can account for the 5.5 ~C of thermal hysteresis found in Tenebrio larvae. The THP  function by absorption-inhibition mechanism and produce oval-shaped ice crystals with curved prism faces.
