Abstract: A restraining member for use with a vehicle restraint for releasably securing a parked vehicle to an adjacent structure is disclosed. The restraining member is pivotally mountable to the vehicle restraint, and is shiftable between a retracted position in which the restraining member is disposed within the recess, and an extended position in which the restraining member is positioned to engage the ICC bar of a parked vehicle. The restraining member comprises a base pivotally mounted to the carnage, a crown, and an offset shank interconnecting the base and the crown. The crown, the shank, and the base each have inner edges, which cooperate to define an open, substantially tetragonally shaped, area sized to receive the ICC bar. The crown and the shank define an engagement portion which is adapted to receive and engage a wide variety of ICC bar sizes.

Title: Fluid pressure reduction device
Inventor: GETHMANN DOUGLAS P
IPC: F16K47/02
Filed: 1998-01-28
Granted: 2005-09-27
Abstract: A fluid pressure reduction device with low noise generation. A stack of annular disks (30a, b, c, d) with fluid passageways formed of inlet slots (36), outlet slots (38), and interconnecting plenums (40).  Selectively stacking and orienting the annular disks along with an asymmetric slot pattern creates the desired fluid passageways without creating an uninterrupted axial fluid flow path. High recovery inlet stages are in fluid communicating series with low recovery outlet stages and the combination provides a high performance fluid pressure reduction device with low noise generation.

Title: Process for epoxidation of propylene
Inventor: CHANG TE
IPC: B01J38/64
Filed: 1998-06-29
Granted: 2009-02-24
Abstract: Propylene is converted to propylene oxide in a highly efficient liquid phase process wherein temperature and pressure are both increased over the course of the epoxidation, which is preferably conducted in a continuous mode of operation. The catalyst used is a heterogeneous catalyst such as titanium silicalite or titania-on-silica. The oxidizing agent is an active oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide or an organic hydroperoxide. When the desired yield of propylene oxide can no longer be maintained, the catalyst is replaced or regenerated. Regeneration by washing the catalyst with a hot solvent containing a source of ammonium or alkali metal cations is highly effective, especially where the catalyst is a titanium-containing zeolite.

Abstract: In a security system, a method and apparatus for two-way frequency hopping communications between the control panel and each peripheral device which maintains channel synchronization through the assignment of fixed beacon frequencies for the transmission of synchronizing data. The use of frequency hopping provides high immunity to jamming and interference, reduced occurrence of multi-path phenomena, and allows for transmissions at a much higher output power than conventional fixed-frequency communications, to thus increase the effective range of the peripheral devices while providing effective and reliable two-way communications between the control panel and the peripheral devices. The invention also provides a large number of channels, which allows for actuators such as sirens, strobes and line seizing devices to be wireless in addition to sensors. The invention provides a high immunity to signal jamming, interference from other wireless systems and miss-detection due to multi-path phenomena; reduces opportunities for collision between peripheral transmissions; and eliminates the redundant emission of peripheral transmissions to reduce RF traffic in the vicinity of the system and extend the life of batteries used in the peripheral devices.

Abstract: A screw-type, in-ground anchor device for anchoring an above-ground upright. A generally cylindrical drive shaft includes an upper cylindrical housing portion constructed of 1/4-inch rolled steel with an inside diameter sized to match the outside diameter of the upright. A conical portion connects the upper housing portion to a lower tip portion.      The surface of the conical portion has a slope of less than 20 degrees, and preferably in the range of 5-10 degrees. A set of screw threads (flightings) are attached to the tip portion and have a diameter that is approximately equal to or less than the diameter of the upper housing portion. The flightings operate in soil to screw the anchor device into the ground when the device is rotated. The conical portion outwardly compresses the soil that is disrupted in the wake of the flightings. Since the flightings have a diameter approximately equal to or less than the diameter of the upper housing portion, soil surrounding the drive shaft is not disrupted. Therefore, the outward compression of the soil creates a tightly compressed soil shaft having the same diameter as the housing portion.

Abstract: A form of child-proof package for tablets and similar pharmaceutical products, features a blister pack with at least one blister which is closed off by a push-through type foil lid, the blister serving the purpose of accommodating the tablets. For the purpose of removing the tablets, the push-through type foil lid of the blister pack lies against a wall part and with respect to that can be displaced by sliding from a closed position to an open position so that, when in the open position, the blister with the tablets lie in line with openings in the wall part and the tablets can be pushed through the openings. The blister pack is arranged between a rear wall part and a front part, and the wall part with the openings lies between the rear wall part and the foil lid. The blisters can be displaced by sliding from the closed position to the open position into opening slits and the openings in the inner wall part are covered over by a tear-off strip which is arranged in the rear wall part and can be separated from it along a line of weakness forming a longitudinal slit.
