摘要:
A process for the purification of a crude liquid feed stream comprising 1,4-butanediol and a minor amount of 2-(4->hydroxybutoxy)-tetrahydrofuran and/or precursors thereof wherein the process comprises passing the crude feed in the presence of hydrogen in a reaction zone over a heterogeneous liquid tolerant copper catalyst in the liquid phase at hydrogenation conditions and recovering a purified stream of 1,4-butanediol having a lower amount of 2-(4-hydroxybutoxy)-tetrahydrofuran than the crude liquid feed stream.

A modified method for playing Twenty-One involves each player making two wagers—a first wager to play the conventional Twenty-One game and second wager to play a SKINS game feature in which the accumulated total of the second wagers (less any rake to the gaming establishment) is awarded to the player having the highest numerical count on the first two cards without exceeding a numerical count of 21. In the event two players tie with the same numerical count on the first two cards, the SKINS wagers carry over to the next round of play. This carry over feature continues until a single player has the highest numerical count on the first two cards without exceeding a numerical count of 21, in which case that player wins the accumulated SKINS pot.

摘要:
A system for detecting, tracking, displaying and identifying repetitive movement, including a sensor configured to sense movement, and in particular static acceleration, along at least a first horizontal axis, and ideally about a second horizontal axis, with respect to a vertical axis and a processor to generate output signals therefrom for audible and visual display of information that can include movement identification, movement patterns, and to further include elapsed time, start and stop times, breathing patterns, and variations thereof from a reference.
摘要:
A tutorial apparatus is disclosed. The tutorial apparatus is to be operated by a user, and includes a processor unit and a memory unit coupled to the processor unit. The memory unit includes code for allowing the user to enter user-selected study material into the tutorial apparatus, code for forming a problem using the user-selected study material, and code for providing assistance in solving the problem formed using the user-selected study material.
摘要:
A gun case having a waterproof outer shell and an oil impregnated inside fabric liner, and conjoined sidelong and end access openings that allow the gun case to be quickly turned inside out and hung for cleaning and/or drying. Secure fold-over VELCRO® closure flaps are provided for both openings to solidly retain the gun within the gun case and to prevent accidental opening and release of the gun. Padding is disposed between the patterned outer shell fabric and inner liner to cushion the gun as it is transported, and to maintain the buoyancy of the gun case so that it floats even with a gun contained therein.

A monitoring system for determining accurate topology features of a network, and methods of operating the monitoring system, are disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the system creates an accurate topology map of a given network by: obtaining a list of managed network devices; identifying trunk ports, link channel ports, and trunk channel ports; identifying link port and node ports; determining connections between the ports; storing the collected information; and displaying the network topology. Methods are disclosed for identifying link and node ports. In the preferred method, information regarding the devices; including VLAN/backplane information, router ARP table information, device interface information, and physical address information for machines and devices connected to the network is obtained. Also, the ports and/or devices are logically grouped in order to provide more accurate topology information. Source address table timing information is obtained for each device, and a historical database of source table information is kept. Filters may then be utilized on the source address tables in order to provide more accurate topology results. Connections between nodes are also resolved by utilizing sorting methods. Alternative methods are also disclosed for identifying link ports and determining connections between nodes.

Methods and compositions are provided for detecting nucleic acid sequences. In particular, pairs of probes are employed, where the pair defines a substantially contiguous sequence on a target nucleic acid. Each of the pairs has a side chain which forms a stem of the two side chains which non-covalently binds and is capable of forming a cross-link upon activation, when the probes and sample nucleic acid are base paired. Cross-linking of the stems when unbound to complementary DNA is inhibited. Each of the nucleic acids is initially present as single stranded nucleic acid to allow for base pairing, so that the probes bind to homologous target nucleic acid. The assay mixture is activated to provide cross-linking, the double stranded nucleic acid melted, and the process of base pairing, activation and melting repeated, a sufficient number of cycles, to provide a detectable amount of cross-linked probes. To inhibit background cross-linking, the side chains may provide for duplex formation, where a portion of the side chain binds to a different portion of the side chain or the portion of the probe homologous to the target. Also provided are kits comprising reagents, as well as automatic devices, for carrying out the subject method.
摘要:
A cable reel assembly including a mounting frame (19), a cable drum (22) rotatably supported the mounting frame (19) and a drive motor (23) which drives rotation of the cable drum (22). Invention is characterized by the provision of a reeving carriage (35) for controlling movement of cable (29) wound onto the cable drum (22) when the cable is being paid out or hauled onto the cable drum (22) when said cable is being retrieved. There is also provided a horizontally orientated support rail (85A) wherein the reeving carriage (35) is adapted for reciprocatory movement relative to the support rail (85A). There is also provided a vertically orientated endless reeving member in the form of a chain (34) to cause the reciprocatory movement of the reeving carriage (35).

A travel container, system, kit, and method for carrying flowable materials onto a commercial airline are presently provided. The travel container has an outer wall with a top opening and a bottom opening and a maximum fill capacity of 3.4 ounces or at least one measure demarcation on the outer wall. The at least one measure demarcation demarks at most 3.4 ounces of flowable materials in the travel container. The travel kit has a carrier with a volume of at most one quart and is configured to hold and carry each of the travel containers.
