Title: Anti-tip arrangement for a mobile storage system
Inventor: KEATON WILLIAM R
IPC: A47B53/02
Filed: 2003-02-05
Abstract: An anti-tip arrangement for a mobile system, such as a mobile storage system, in which a movable member is mounted to a rail arrangement. The anti-tip arrangement includes an anti-tip member which is pivotably mounted to the movable member for movement between an operative position and an inoperative position. The anti-tip member has a hook section that is engageable with art engagement surface of the rail arrangement, for preventing tipping of the movable member relative to the rail arrangement. The anti-tip member further includes a retainer section and a tab section that extend in opposite directions from the pivot axis about which the anti-tip member is pivotable. The tab section extends laterally front the pivot axis, and is engageable by a user to enable the user to pivot the anti-tip member to the operative position. The retainer section is offset from the tab section, and is adapted to receive a releasable retainer member, such as a retainer pin, which maintains the anti-tip member in the operative position. The offset of the tab section from the retainer section facilitates the ability of the user to manipulate the anti-tip member for movement to the operative position while engaging the retainer pin with the retainer section.

Title: A fuel injection system and method of operation for a gaseous fuelled engine with liquid pilot fuel ignition
Inventor: MARK RANDALL T
IPC: F02M53/04
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: A pilot fuel injection valve is provided that is mountable in a cylinder head of an engine and is operable to inject a liquid pilot fuel directly into a combustion chamber. The pilot fuel injection valve comprises a cooling system to keep the pilot fuel at a temperature that is lower than the lowest initial boiling point for the pilot fuel that occurs inside the fuel injection valve. The pilot fuel injection valve further comprises a thermally insulated nozzle so that it's outer surface is not cooled by the cooler cylinder head and the cooler pilot fuel held inside the fuel injection valve whereby the nozzle's outer surface can be heated to a temperature that is not significantly lower than the final boiling point of the pilot fuel so that a significant amount of pilot fuel does not condense on the nozzle surface during engine operation. When a gaseous fuel injection valve also has a nozzle disposed inside the combustion chamber it too can be thermally insulated to allow it to maintain a surface temperature during engine operation that is not significantly lower than the final boiling point of the pilot fuel. The method cools the pilot fuel inside the pilot fuel injection valve to prevent or reduce the partial vaporization of pilot fuel inside the nozzle orifices and in other parts of the fuel injection valve. The method further comprises thermally insulating the nozzle so that when the engine is running, the surfaces that come into contact with pilot fuel within the combustion chamber maintain a surface temperature that is not significantly lower than the final boiling point of the pilot fuel.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, probes, and nucleic acid sequences for the systematic identification of sporulation genes in spore forming bacteria. A probe comprises a nucleic acid sequence able to form a detectable hybrid with highly conserved regions of the spoOA gene of certain spore forming bacteria Bacillus and Clostridium bacteria species, said nucleic acid sequence being unable to form a detectable hybrid with genetic material of non-spore forming bacteria. Amplification of a portion of the spoOA gene from the cellular DNA of a spore forming bacteia by a polymerase chain reaction using such probe, primer or nucleic acid sequence as one member of a primer set results in the generation of a detectable 346-365 nucleotide long DNA product. One disclosed method comprises a) combining a tagged or labeled probe with a sample, b) hybridizing the probe to the target spore forming bacteria spoOA gene; and c) detecting the hybridized product.
