A hanger loop of rope material provides for the suspension of innumerable articles in various industries, but is particularly well suited for use in underground mining, where it may be used to support electrical cables, pneumatic and hydraulic lines, air ventilation ducts, etc., above the floor of the mine drift. The hanger loop is preferably formed of a braided synthetic fiber which has been trea...

L'invention concerne une méthode de gestion d'une file d'attente de paquets reçus d'une pluralité de sources comprenant les étapes suivantes: - stockage du dernier paquet reçu (LC) à une adresse de réception (RAd) dans une mémoire tampon (BU), - établissement pour ce dernier paquet reçu (LC) d'une estampille temporelle (TSTP) représentant le temps théorique de sa sortie de ladite file d'attente. L...

The invention relates to primer-specific and mispair extension assays for identifying gene variations, such as in different genotypes or subtypes of a given genotype. The assay includes extending a nucleic acid sequence from a patient sample with extension products of the primer, characterizing the extension products, and comparing the extension products with known nucleic acid sequences of variou...

An ostomy pouch (10) includes a front wall (12) provided with a comfort layer (16) and a vent (22). An apertured cover layer (24) is secured to the front wall (12) through the comfort layer (16) to define a chamber for a filter element (28) and to provide a smooth surface to which can be applied an adhesive sticker. The cover layer (24) includes a plurality of apertures (30), and the flow rate thr...

A diagnostic driveline vibration analyzing tool for measuring and characterizing the torsional vibrations in a vehicle driveline. An electronic control unit and sensor cooperate to measure speed fluctuations occurring between the passing of adjacent teeth of a rotating gear. These time measurements are the basis for displacement, velocity and acceleration calculations which, combined with drivesha...

An apparatus for controlling voltage-charge controlled power semiconductor devices in converting electric power comprises members (18-25) adapted to detect selected parameters describing the function of the power semiconductor device through the connection to the power semiconductor device. The apparatus has also means (26) adapted to compare the value of the selected function parameters detected ...

Methanol emissions in the CO2 vent from a synthesis gas unit in an ammonia or hydrogen plant are reduced by contacting raw synthesis gas from a low temperature shift converter with recycled stripped condensate to absorb methanol. The synthesis gas is treated in a purification unit to form the CO2 vent of reduced methanol content. The condensate from the contacting step is steam stripped to form a ...

The moped has a load platform divided into front and rear sections joined together by a pair of hinges. The rear stem part of the platform is joined to the rear platform section by two hinges. The platform floor is used as a footrest and can be removed from the platform. A fixed stabilizer strut extends between the platform side walls and also acts as a stop for the backrest. - The two side walls,...

A hand-held electric sealer used for sealing a plastic bag or the like, including a casing, a sealing mechanism, a press bar, and safety means. The sealing mechanism has a heating wire, which produces heat for sealing the plastic bag or the like when turned on. The safety means controls the heating of the sealing mechanism, and stops the sealing mechanism from being triggered accidentally.
