Abstract: A transporter (10) for a length of highway barriers includes a series of barrier transporting units (12), each having at least one pair of wheels (30) positioned to straddle a length of highway barriers, at least one engaging device (36) configured to engage one of the barriers, and at least one lifting device (48) coupled to the engaging device to lift the engaging device and the engaged barriers. Articulating couplings (32) interconnect axially adjacent transporting units to form a train configured to straddle the length of highway barriers such as the train can be moved over a length of highway barriers to be transported. Two tractors (14,16) are connected to the train, one at each end of the train in line with the train to move the train. This transporter can be used by driving it over a length of highway barriers, using the engaging and lifting devices to lift the barriers, and then driving the transporter and the engaged barriers to a new location. The barriers are then lowered and released and the transporter is driven away, leaving the highway barriers at the new location.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for separating methoxyisopropylamine and particularly to an improvement in a process for the recovery of methoxyisopropylamine from the reaction of methoxyisopropanol and ammonia under amination conditions. Water is produced as a byproduct and in the distillation separation an azeotrope is formed which comprises about 14% water and 86% methoxyisopropylamine. The improvement for enhancing separation of the azeotrope comprises initially distilling the mixture of methoxyisopropylamine, methoxyisopropanol and water under sufficient elevated pressure wherein a second azeotrope of water and methoxyisopropylamine overhead and an essentially water free bottoms of methoxyisopropylamine and methoxyisopropanol are formed. The overhead from this initial distillation column is charged to a second distillation column operated at reduced pressure wherein an amine-free bottoms containing primarily water is obtained. The bottoms from the elevated pressure distillation column is fractionated in a product column and product methoxyisopropylamine is recovered as an overhead and methoxyisopropanol as a bottoms. 
     The overheads from the lower pressure distillation column is returned to the feed of the elevated pressure column and all of the methoxyisopropylamine is recovered in this manner.

Abstract: A quasi-resonant diode drive current source provides high power pulsed current that drives light emitting diodes, and the like. The pulsed output current of the quasi-resonant diode drive current source is sensed, and is regulated by a control loop to a level required by the light emitting diodes. In a specific embodiment of the invention, a zero-current-switched full wave quasi-resonant buck converter is described that provides a high amplitude pulsed output current required to drive light emitting pump diodes used in a solid state diode pumped laser. The use of a quasi-resonant converter as a pulsed current source provides a much higher conversion efficiency than conventional laser current sources. This higher efficiency results in less input power drawn from a power source and cooler operation, resulting in a higher reliability current source.

Abstract: Using a plurality of terminal service profiles (TSP) that are selected on the basis of the switching system to which a wireless mobile unit is registered. Each TSP defines the operation of features associated with the wireless mobile unit, and a service profile defines features associated with a directory number shared by a stationary station set and the wireless mobile unit. This allows some features to be associated only with the wireless mobile unit and other features to be associated with the shared directory number. These other features are usable by the wireless mobile unit and any other unit sharing the shared directory number. These other features are performed on a permanent switching system to which the shared directory number is assigned. When the wireless mobile unit is not associated with a stationary telephone station set, different TSPs are selected based on the particular switching system to which the wireless mobile unit is registered. ISDN messages are used to provide those features which should appear to be performed on a permanent switching system as if the wireless mobile unit was registered on the permanent switching system.
