摘要： A fuel-fired water heater has main and pilot burners disposed in its combustion chamber. All of the primary combustion air utilized by the main and pilot burners during firing thereof is supplied thereto via an enclosed path extending to the burners from outside of the combustion chamber. A burner clogging detection system is operative to shut down further combustion, upon sensing a condition of the pilot burner flame indicative of a predetermined degree of pilot burner clogging, prior to the main burner being clogged to an unacceptable degree by particulate matter entrained in incoming combustion air being delivered to the main burner. The pilot burner may be mounted on the main burner in a variety of locations thereon.

摘要： A joint coupling is disclosed for connecting sections of conduit. The present joint coupling includes a male connector portion having an inner side and an outer side, having a barb on one or both of the sides. A gasket is received on the male connector portion, and has one or more fins on the side opposite the barb. A female connector portion receives and engages the male connector portion and includes a first side having a lock down lip for engaging the barb and a second side for contacting the gasket fins. The fins bias the connector portions in an interference to create a transverse locking force that securely retains the connector portions. The connector portions can be formed directly on the sections of conduit, or can be formed on a discrete conduit cap or an intermediate coupler, for joining sections of conduit.

摘要： A conveyor system for transporting parts through a plurality of processing areas. The conveyor system has a plurality of motor driven conveyors, each of the conveyors for transporting parts through an associated one of the processing areas. Digital motor shaft encoders are provided for monitoring the speed of the conveyor motors. Motor speed controllers are electrically coupled to the encoders and are responsive thereto, for regulating the speed of the conveyors thereby synchronizing the speed among all of the conveyors. A computer is electrically coupled to one of the motor speed controllers for providing a predetermined conveyor system speed set point. Part detectors are electrically coupled to the computer, for verifying each part's progress along each of the conveyors thereby enabling the computer to track the movement of each part transported along the conveyor system to detect part to part collisions.

摘要： The present invention relates to the discovery, identification and characterization of nucleotides that encode the G protein regulated phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase, a heterodimeric enzyme which produces the intracellular messenger phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate in response to activation of trimeric G protein-linked receptors. This novel protein, comprised of a catalytic subunit, p120, and a regulatory subunit, p101, is found in cells of hematopoietic origin and is involved in immune system responses which cause inflammation. The presence of p101 subunit is largely responsible for the dramatic stimulation of kinase activity in the presence of activated trimeric G proteins. The invention encompasses p101 and p120 nucleotides, host cell expression systems, p101 and p120 proteins, fusion proteins, polypeptides and peptides, antibodies to these proteins, transgenic animals that express a p101 or p120 transgene, or recombinant knock-out cells and animals that do not express the p101 or p120 gene, antagonists and agonists of the enzyme, and other compounds that modulate p101 or p120 gene expression or enzyme activity that can be used for diagnosis, drug screening, clinical trial monitoring, and/or the treatment of inflammatory disorders.
