Abstract: A scaffold (1) is built up of several spaced apart systems (3) of construction frames (5) present on top of each other, as well as handrail frames (7) that extend between the construction frames. The construction frames (5) have three posts connected together by crossbars, in which the front post (13) is shorter than the other two. The handrail frames (7) are attached to these short posts. Each handrail frame is built up of two post sections (19) with a handrail (21) and a side plank (23) between them. The post sections (19) form half of a lengthwise divided post. The post sections (19) of two adjacent handrail frames thus form one whole post, which can be inserted into the short post (13) of a construction frame (5). As the post sections (19) are part of the handrail frames (7), the handrail frames can be easily attached to the short posts (13) already present at the front of the construction frames.

Abstract: A method for determining pore structure characteristics of hydrophobic porous materials includes placing a test sample of material in the sample chamber of a porosimetry apparatus, creating a partial vacuum and evacuating the sample chamber to remove air, creating a partial vacuum and evacuating the penetrometer and storage vessel above the water level, releasing the vacuum in a controlled manner, so pressure is applied and water in the penetrometer enters the sample chamber and intrudes into pores of the sample, applying a measured amount of intrusion pressure and measuring the change in volume of water in the penetrometer, and determining pore structure characteristics of the sample based on the change in volume of water in the penetrometer. The method further includes an optional step of applying a desired amount of compressive stress on the sample prior to testing. Nonporous plates optionally are used to measure x-y plane pore structure.

Abstract: A power supply for a load control device generates a DC voltage and provides an asymmetrical output current, while drawing a substantially symmetrical input current. The power supply comprises a controllably conductive switching circuit for controllably charging an energy storage capacitor across which the DC voltage is produced. The energy storage capacitor begins charging at the beginning of a half-cycle and stops charging after a charging time in response to the magnitude of the DC voltage and the amount of time that the energy storage capacitor has been charging during the present half-cycle. The charging time is maintained substantially constant from one half-cycle to the next. The power supply is particularly beneficial for preventing asymmetrical current from flowing in a multiple location load control system having a master load control device supplying power to a plurality of remote load control devices all located on either the line-side or the load-side of the system.
