Abstract: To help hold a trailer bed (16) of a truck (12) steady at a loading dock (14) as the truck is being loaded or unloaded of its cargo, a yieldable vehicle brace (10, 124, 144, 200, 240, 300) exerts a substantial, but limited, reactive force upward against the trailer's rear impact guard to resist the trailer' s downward movement. In some embodiments, the brace holds the trailer bed stationary up to a certain load limit and provides the trailer bed with a controlled or dampened descent when the load exceeds that limit. In some cases, the reactive upward force exerted by the brace increases with the downward velocity of the trailer bed. The reactive force can be created by one or more pressure relief valves (98), Thydraulic fluid passing through a flow restriction (236), a brake (126), a spring (2122), or various combinations thereof. Some embodiments of the brace include provisions for accommodating horizontal movement of the rear impact guard.

Abstract: When driving a switching device with a pull-in coil and/or a holding coil (2), it is advantageous if the current through the coil (2) is approximately constant irrespective of the switching state, pulling-in or holding. In order to avoid current measurement which is complex in terms of circuitry and measurement technology or a complex control unit (8) with core value tables stored therein for the various switching states, the invention provides a control apparatus (1) for a switching device where the control apparatus (1) comprises a pulse-width-controlled switching apparatus (3) which is connected to the coil (2), and a control unit (4), which is connected to the switching apparatus (3) and generates a control signal with an adjustable pulse width, wherein the control unit (4) determines the pulse width of the control signal as a function of the input voltage signal (U) of the control unit (4) in such a way that the control apparatus (1) keeps the current through the pull-in coil and/or the holding coil (2) of the switching device approximately constant. Such a control apparatus is integrated in a switching device. In the method for controlling the current flowing through a pull-in coil and/or a holding coil (2) of the switching device, the input voltage (U) of the switching device is determined and a pulse-width-modulation signal for driving a switching apparatus Is determined as a function of a predeterminable setpoint voltage value (U Sp,soll) of the coil voltage (U Sp), with the result that a switching apparatus (3) keeps the current through the pull-in coil and/or the holding coil (2) of the switching device approximately constant.

Abstract: A user of a personal computing device may see an item that interests him or her and would like to remember the item for future reference. The user captures data of the item of interest and submits the captured data to the memory enhancement service for enhancement and storage. The memory enhancement service submits the captured data to a human interaction task system for enhancement. More specifically, the human interaction task system distributes the captured data to one or more human workers to identify the item subject of the captured data, determine the user's interest in the item subject of the captured data, and provide information regarding the item that may be relevant to the user based on this determined interest. The enhanced data is then stored by the memory enhancement service for subsequent recall by the user and possible use by the user or others.

Abstract: This invention discloses a method for increasing the effectiveness of dextromethorphan (DM) in treating either severe coughing or dermatitis which do not respond to other drug treatments. This method involves the administration, to a patient who is an extensive metabolizer of dextromethorphan and who is suffering from severe coughing or dermatitis, of dextromethorphan along with a second agent that inhibits the enzymatic activity of debrisoquin hydroxylase (also called sparteine monooxygenase, cytochrome P450 DB, and cytochrome P450-2D6). Quinidine is an especially potent inhibitor of enzymatic DM oxidation, but it is not well tolerated by everyone. other antioxidants which are less potent and better tolerated by some patients include quinine, yohimbine, fluoxetine, haloperidol, ajmaline, lobeline, and pipamperone. Since people have major variations in their oxidative enzyme activities, screening tests should be undertaken under the supervision of a physician to select a preferred antioxidant for each particular patient. In tests described herein, patients suffering from intractable coughing or dermatitis which did not respond adequately to any other safe and non-addictive-drugs reported excellent results and virtually complete elimination of their coughing or dermatitis. In addition, the treated patients did not report any adverse side effects such as drowsiness, fatigue, or nausea.
