An axial resistance sheathed heater is presented. The axial resistance sheathed heater includes a retaining sheath having a first end and a second end and a resistance wire completely disposed within the retaining sheath. The heater further includes a first conductor rod partially disposed within the retaining sheath and extending beyond the first end of the retaining sheath, the first conductor rod in direct electrical communication and direct mechanical communication with the resistance wire; and a second conductor rod partially disposed within said retaining sheath and extending beyond the second end of the retaining sheath, the second conductor rod in direct electrical communication and direct mechanical communication with the resistance wire. The resistance wire, the first conductor rod and the second conductor rod comprise a circuit achieving a power to voltage rating of about 5000:24.

An efficient, long lasting identification and trail light that is suitable for marking trails and objects for nighttime identification includes a translucent housing with an internal cavity. A folding tack is mounted on the housing and is movable from a folded away storage position to an extended position for temporarily tacking the housing to an object. An electrical control circuit with a battery are suitably mounted within the cavity. A light is mounted on the housing and is connected to the control circuit. A photocell is connected to the control circuit to actuate battery power to turn on the light in darkness to identify an object or illuminate a trail.

A system and method for assigning taxability codes to purchases, and processing tax invoices, by company groups. A user, identified to one of a group of companies, inputs a requisition. Tax code and tax location are identified in a front end process applicable to the object of the requisition and converted into a converted tax code and tax jurisdiction and fed to a back end processor. Responsive to converted tax code and the tax jurisdiction for the corresponding company group, the back end prepares a purchase order which is transmitted to a supplier. Responsive to an invoice from the supplier and company group and tax code indicia from the purchase order, the back end processes and selectively pays, short pays, or rejects the invoice.
摘要:
Fuel cartridges for delivering fuel to a fuel consuming device, such as a fuel cell, are provided. Valves for use on cartridges or devices may include one or more internal seals that prevent fuel flow except when a valve is connected to a properly coupled corresponding valve and a seal between the two vales is established. Cartridge housings may include venting to maintain pressure equilibrium. A flexible or deformable fuel reservoir may be used with a pressurizing system that causes fuel to flow from a cartridge to a device independent of orientation.

Compositions comprise a flagellin component or a Toll-like Receptor agonist component that is at least a portion of a flagellin or a Toll-like Receptor agonist, wherein the flagellin component or Toll-like Receptor agonist component includes at least one cysteine residue and whereby the flagellin component or Toll-like Receptor agonist component activates a Toll-like Receptor 5 or Toll-like Receptor. Compositions comprise a flagellin component that is at least a portion of a flagellin, wherein at least one lysine of the flagellin component has been substituted with at least one arginine, serine and histidine, whereby the flagellin component activates Toll-like Receptor 5. Compositions can further include an antigen, such as an influenza antigen, a flavivirus antigen, a pathogen-related antigen, a bacterial capsular antigen and a carrier protein. The compositions are used to stimulate an immune response and a protective immune response in a subject.

A femoral head resurfacing apparatus includes a cap of hemispherical shape and stabilization structure (e.g., one or more non-shear fixation bars) that inserts into slots cut into the femoral head, so that the cap remains substantially immovable other than due northerly. A method of resurfacing the femoral head of a hip joint includes removing longitudinal slots or holes of bone in the femoral head, and attaching a hemispherical cap to the head, the cap having non-shear fixation bars or other stabilizing structure for mating engagement with the slots or holes.

The present invention relates to a gaseous fluid generation system, a columnar heating device, and a method for generating a gaseous fluid. In one embodiment, the gaseous fluid generation system includes a reservoir-less columnar vessel having a liquid fluid inlet and a gaseous fluid outlet and at least one resistive heating element contained within the columnar vessel. The columnar vessel is oriented such that the gaseous fluid outlet is elevated with respect to the liquid fluid inlet. In one embodiment, the gaseous fluid generation system includes at least one resistive heating element having a power density selected to heat a fluid selected from the group consisting of a liquid fluid, a saturated gaseous fluid and a superheated gaseous fluid. In one particular embodiment, resistive heating elements of the columnar vessel have a power density selected to heat both a liquid fluid and a gaseous fluid.

A glove box hook apparatus is provided for attachment to a glove box door which closes against a dashboard in a vehicle above the floor of the vehicle. The glove box hook apparatus includes a stop member, a flexible suspension member connected to the stop member, and a hook assembly connected to the flexible suspension member. When a bag is hung on the hook assembly, the bottom of the bag can rest on the floor of the vehicle, but, with the handles of the bag being hung from the hook assembly, the bag is prevented from falling over and the contents therein are prevented from spilling out of the bag. In general, the stop member has a relatively large thickness. The flexible suspension member has a relatively small thickness, and the stop-member thickness is large enough to prevent the stop member from moving through a clearance between the closed glove box door and the dashboard.
