Abstract: An engine shutdown valve comprises a housing and a gate movable within a housing between a first position where the air flow through the shutdown valve is substantially unrestricted to a second position where the opening is restricted thereby stopping air flow. The gate is pivotable about an axis. The gate has an extension with a recess which is engageable by a piston movable between a first position where the gate is held in its latched position and a second position out of engagement with the recess so as to allow the gate to move to a position where the air passageway is closed. The gate is movable by a rod attached to the gate lever and which rod is biased by a compression spring mounted within a sleeve. The spring is adjustable to increase or decrease the force on the gate and such adjustment can be accomplished from outside the shutdown without disassembly of the entire valve. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Improved assay methods utilizing stable, enzymatically triggered chemiluminescent 1,2-dioxetanes with improved water solubility are provided. Assays are performed by a capsule chemistry analytical assay method wherein fluid capsules comprising discrete aqueous segments containing either a chemiluminescent dioxetane reagent or an activating agent separated by an oil-based isolating fluid are flowed through a conduit, and subsequently reacted to produce light. The improvement comprises using a dioxetane substituted with two or more water-solubilizing groups disposed on the dioxetane structure to provide the chemiluminescence. Compositions comprising such a dioxetane, a non-polymeric surfactant enhancer and optionally a fluorescer, provide enhanced chemiluminescence and eliminate the problem of reagent carryover when used in assays performed on capsule chemistry analytical systems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A needleless injection site comprising a housing which defines an interior chamber and a central opening which communicates with the interior chamber. The housing further defines a proximally extending dilator projection portion which is co-axially aligned with the central opening and a distally extending adapter portion. The dilator projection and adapter portions define a continuous fluid passage. Disposed within the central opening and the interior chamber is a reseal member which has an elastically openable and closable aperture formed therein. The reseal member normally resides in a first position within the housing wherein the aperture is in a closed configuration. The reseal member is deformable such that the application of distally directed pressure thereto will cause the reseal member to distally advance within the housing to a second position wherein the aperture assumes an open configuration and communicates with the fluid passage. The cessation of the application of distally directed pressure to the reseal member will cause it to resiliently return to the first position wherein the aperture reassumes the closed configuration.

Abstract: Nickel/cobalt, as well as platinum and palladium metal family members are recovered from soil by growing Brassicaceae plants, specifically Alyssum in soil containing nickel/cobalt as well as other metals. The soil is conditioned by maintaining a low pH, low calcium concentration, and the addition of ammonium fertilizer and chelating agents thereto. Nickel accumulation on the order of 2.5 percent or better in above-ground tissues is achieved, which permits recovery of the metal by harvesting the above-ground plant materials, drying, and then combusting the same, to oxidize or vaporize organic materials and recover the metals sequestered therein at 10-20 fold higher concentrations than in the soil, in a form which can be used in conventional Ni refinery or smelting operations.

Abstract: A fork lift truck capacity monitor or alerting device informs operators of the weight on the forks and fork height and alerts operators whenever truck speed is above creep with the forks raised above a collapsed height or whenever the forks are raised above a recommended height for a given load. The alerting device includes a control circuit that receives inputs from a speed sensor, a fork height sensor and a weight sensor and reads a memory storing data correlating load weights with maximum recommended fork heights. A truck icon is displayed on a display panel. A plurality of height zone lamps representing the weight of the load on the forks are arranged in a vertical column over the truck icon and selectively illuminated according to the load on the forks. A plurality of lamps represent the height of the forks with the fork height lamps, which include one lamp positioned to represent a lowered position of the forks and a plurality of lamps equal in number to the height zone lamps and placed horizontally opposite therefrom, being selectively illuminated according to the height of the forks. An alarm signal alerts operators whenever the forks are raised above the recommended height for a given load weight, or whenever truck speed exceeds a predetermined maximum speed and the forks are above the collapsed height. The alarm signal may include a combination of an audible signal, a text message, and a flashing lamp.
