Initial cell voltages are reduced by decreasing the resistance of the diaphragm through a degassing procedure prior to or at installation thereof. This degassing procedure involves subjecting the diaphragm to subatmospheric pressure while contacting the diaphragm with electrolyte, said electrolyte being an aqueous saline solution having a surface active agent therein in an amount sufficient to reduce the surface tension below the critical surface tension for wetting the fibers, and increasing the pressure to atmospheric or cell working pressure to force electrolyte solution into the interstices of the diaphragm.

A method and system for configuring information for a distributed computing environment is provided. The method and system comprises providing a job containing a list of tasks to a controller, the tasks including a bootstrap tool and configuration information related to the computer network. The method and system also comprises providing a task to each of a plurality of agents on the distributed computer network, each task being based on one of the tasks of the job. The method and system further comprises executing code by each of the plurality of agents based upon the tasks process, wherein the code provides configuration information for a master process and a plurality of slave processes within the distributed computer network.The present invention allows processes run on a distributed set of computers to be provided with appropriate configuration files without requiring the master node to pre-generate those files ahead of time. Specifically, the invention generates the configuration files on the computers that will host the processes. A special bootstrap tool is run on each machine. This tool provides a unique identifier to each process. Each machine running a slave process sends the master process its address, and the master returns a port number.

A steering system for use in a towing vehicle-steering trailer assembly, wherein all trailer axles are load-bearing and fixed. The steerable trailer includes a sectored radian steering mechanism which comprises a sectored rack-and-pinion mechanism keyed to the towing vehicle fifth wheel plate. The sectored rack-and-pinion mechanism provides a steering output signal proportional to the relative angle between the towing vehicle and the steerable trailer which approaches an asymptote and thus allows the towing vehicle to turn in relation to the steered trailer without generating the steering mechanism output signal.

Image data to be compressed is first converted from the RGB domain into a gamma-powered YUV domain. A wavelet transform then separates image data into high- and low-detail sectors, incorporating a dynamic scaling method, allowing for optimal resolution. The output data from the wavelet transform is then quantized according to an entropy-prediction algorithm that tightly controls the final size of the processed image. An adaptive Golomb engine compresses the data using an adaptive form of Golomb encoding in which mean values are variable across the data. Using variable mean values reduces the deleterious effects found in conventional Golomb encoding in which localized regions of similar data are inefficiently coded if their bit values are uncommon in the data as a whole. Inverse functions are applied to uncompress the image, and a fractal dithering engine can additionally be applied to display an image on a display of lower color depth.

A removable gooseneck for detachably connecting a tractor and trailer utilizes an elongate beam member attached to the hitch of the tractor and having an upstanding frame member depending from a rear end of the beam member. A foot is pivotally mounted at a lower end of the upstanding frame member for engagement with a front end portion of the trailer. A guide pin and link arrangement detachably connects the foot at a front end to the trailer and a locking pin and bushing arrangement detachably connects the rear end of the foot to the trailer at a location spaced from the guide pin and link arrangement. A power fluid ram extends between an upper portion of the upstanding frame member and the foot to selectively cause the foot member to swing upwardly and tilt the trailer downwardly for detachment of the gooseneck from the trailer and swing the foot downwardly to tilt the trailer upwardly for drafting.
