Abstract: A display (3), conventionally used for only displaying a control state of a control unit (2), is used as a main unit for data communication, and performs conversion of the communication protocol governing data communication between control units (2) or between a control unit (2) and a data processor (7). Therefore the control units interlockingly operated in a control system (1) can be used exclusively for I/O control which the control units (2) primarily perform, thereby lightening the burden on the control units (2). Though there are a large number of types of communication protocol, it is unnecessary to take into consideration the type of communication protocol governing control units (2) and data processor (7) and the man-hours taken to write a software is reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming a threaded fastener using a pair of thread rolling dies wherein each one of the pair of thread rolling dies comprises a body portion having a longitudinal axis. A plurality of primary thread rolling die threads, are disposed upon a working face of the body portion and are oriented at a predetermined angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the body portion. These primary rolling die threads form a plurality of primary threads, upon a blank member during a thread rolling process, the primary threads being successively formed upon the blank member at first predetermined spaced positions. A plurality of sets of auxiliary thread rolling die threads are disposed upon the working face of the body portion at positions transversely interposed between the plurality of primary thread rolling die threads form a dual set of second, auxiliary threads upon said blank member during said thread rolling process. The distances through which material portions of the blank member utilized for forming the primary threads need be moved is minimized and mining the dimension of the dies.

Abstract: A sweep removal tool includes a pair of claws with angled surfaces conforming to the top edge of the sweep stem to locate the tool and help distribute sweep removal impact forces. A retainer depressor centered below the claws moves the retainer to a release position and slides between the angled surfaces during sweep removal. The depressor shape assures desired tine contact, even when the sweep is at an extreme position in the range of possible mounted positions, while preventing damaging contact as the depressor moves relative to the retainer during sweep removal. A curved surface extends between the claws and the depressor and facilitates free pivoting of the tine about the claw contact points to depress the retainer. The tool bottoms against the sweep when the depressor is moved to the release position to prevent retained damage from removal impact forces.

Granted: 2016-12-13
Abstract: A microbial adherence inhibitor in the form of fowl egg antibodies is disclosed, along with the method of making it and methods of using it. The inhibitor functions by substantially preventing the attachment of adherence of colony-forming microorganisms in the respiratory tracts of host animals and humans. The colony-forming microorganisms include Pasteurella multocida, Mannheimia haemolytica, Haemophilus somnus and Haemophilus suis. The inhibitor is made by inoculating female birds with the immunogens from colony-forming microorganisms, harvesting the eggs which contain antibodies to the immunogen, and separating the yolk and albumin from the shells of the eggs. The yolk and albumin contents are administered to animals or human by distributing the contents directly or introducing the contents entrained in air.
