Abstract: The present application relates generally to the field of pharmaceutical production and more specifically to methods of synthesizing an intermediate for producing prostacyclin derivatives, such as Treprostinil. The compound according to Formula 1 is an intermediate in the synthesis of prostacylin analogs. The present invention provides an efficient method for synthesizing a Formula I compound. Although, synthesis of a Formula 1 compound by direct allylation of a meta-substituted arylaldehyde which was protected as an imine has been carried out, gas chromatography analysis showed the obtained product to be a mixture of three components, namely, a Formula I compound and a mixture of its positional regioisomers depicted herein as compounds (A) and (B). While this process simplified synthesis of a Formula 1, the obtained product contained the desired Formula I compound as well as undesired regioisomers. In an attempt to improve yields and eliminate undesired side products, the present inventor undertook a study to develop an alternate methodology for synthesizing a Formula I compound,

Abstract: A plurality of industrial vehicle operating parameters are observed and evaluated to monitor drivetrain(s) of the vehicle to determine whether a traction motor has become decoupled from its drivetrain, i.e., a dynamic gearbox failure. If a dynamic gearbox failure is detected, a static test is performed while the vehicle is stopped to confirm the failure. Drive capabilities of the vehicle are restricted if the dynamic gearbox failure is confirmed by the static test while full drive capabilities are enabled if not. A parking brake test is performed by applying each mechanical brake that is attached to a traction motor or a driving wheel and then individually controlling the traction motors in accordance with an operator's travel request such that each motor produces enough torque to rotate the motor if the brake its respective drive wheel is functionally degraded. The torque is applied in the direction of the operator's travel request so that any movement of the vehicle due to inadequate mechanical braking will not be unexpected by the operator.
