A method and apparatus is disclosed that uses an arithmetic circuit for adding numbers represented in redundant form to subtract numbers received in redundant form, including numbers received from a bypass circuit. The method includes generating a complemented redundant form of at least one number supplied to the arithmetic circuit in redundant form. It also includes providing an adjustment input to the arithmetic circuit to augment a result produced through the arithmetic circuit to generate a valid outcome in redundant form of a subtraction operation. A carry-save adder structure is used in one preferred embodiment of the current invention to perform a subtraction operation A−B, where B is a number represented by one of its valid carry-sum redundant representations. In order to perform the subtraction operation, each of the carry bits and each of the sum bits in a redundant representation of B are complemented and supplied to the carry-save adder. Then a result is corrected by adding an adjustment of three. This adjustment value is incorporated into the result through the carry-save adder circuit. Thus the circuit produces a valid redundant representation for the subtraction operation A−B.

An electric blanket connectable to a power source is provided. The electric blanket includes first and second heating wires connected in series and a monitoring wire positioned therebetween. The monitoring wire is engageable with at least one of the heating wires in response to a predetermined temperature. The cutout interconnects the heating wires to a power source. A monitoring circuit triggers the cutout so as to disconnect the heating wires from the power source in response to engagement of the monitoring wire with one of the heating wires.

Apparatus for protecting an occupant of a building from flying debris from a frangible structure such as a window or the like, in the event of an explosion or other blast. The apparatus comprises a protective louver system disposed adjacent the building structure. The louver system comprises a plurality of louvers that are movable from an open position to a closed position wherein they form a protective barrier covering the building structure. A louver closing device is operatively connected to the louvers and is operable to move them to the closed position in the event of an explosion or other blast. The louvers are provided with locking portions so that they are interlocked when in the closed position and displaced inwardly by an explosion or other blast. Reinforcing cables may be positioned adjacent the inner surface of the louver system to support the louvers in the closed position when they are displaced inwardly by the explosion or other blast.

The additive concentrate comprises: (a) a lubricating oil; (b) a lubricating oil soluble sulphurized alkaline earth metal hydrocarbyl phenate modified by incorporation of from greater than 2 to 35% by weight based on the weight of the composition of either (i) at least one carboxylic acid having formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R is C.sub.10 to C.sub.24 alkyl or alkenyl group and R.sup.1 is either hydrogen, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group or a --CH.sub.2 --COOH group, or an anhydride, acid chloride or ester thereof or (ii) a di- or polycarboxylic acid containing from 36 to 100 carbon atoms or an anhydride, acid chloride or ester thereof, the composition having a TBN greater than 300. A process for making the foregoing additive concentrate is disclosed. A finished lubricating oil composition containing the foregoing additive concentrate is also disclosed.

A header frame for a display system which is easily and quickly erected without tools and which is collapsible to a compact shape for packing, storage, and transport. The header frame is disassembled to only four portions for packing, storage, and transport, i.e., two frame portion assemblies and two elongate connector assemblies. Each of the frame portion assemblies comprises a plurality of members joined to be U-shaped when the header frame is erected and hingedly connected to be collapsible compactly so that the members are parallel to and lie alongside each other. Thumbscrews are provided for detachably attaching the connector assemblies to the frame portion assemblies so that tools are not required for erection or disassembly of the header frame.

A new and improved combination bumper and spare tire carrier is disclosed adapted to be affixed to a tailgate of a vehicle without inhibiting the operation of the tailgate. The subject carrier includes a bracket member which projects rearwardly from the vehicle. A generally planar frame is pivotally connected to the bracket member at a point offset from the hinge of the tailgate. A planar attachment plate is provided, having one end thereof slidably received within channels formed in a pair of spaced apart guide members attached to the frame. The upper end of the attachment plate is connected to the upper edge of the tailgate to define a telescoping configuration. By this arrangement, the tailgate and the frame may be simultaneously moved between the open and closed positions. In the preferred embodiment, a pair of bumper segments are provided and disposed on either side of the frame. The bumper segments and spare tire combination define a relatively continuous bumper configuration. A tow package can also be provided with the carrier.
