摘要： A system for dynamic currency conversion is provided. The system includes a bank identifier system determining whether currency conversion is available for a card-issuing bank of a presented card, such as by comparing a bank identifier from the card with a list or table of participating banks. An exchange rate system determines whether an exchange rate has expired, such as an exchange rate associated with the foreign currency of the card-issuing bank. The card holder is presented with an option for selecting a foreign currency transaction after it is determined that currency conversion is available for the card-issuing bank and that the exchange rate has not expired, such that the card holder does not need to see such information unless foreign currency processing is available.

摘要： A storage system is provided comprising a rail mounted to a surface. A cabinet is supported on said rail. At least one engagement member engages the rail to suspend the cabinet from the rail. The cabinet is supported at an angle relative to the surface. An adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the position of the engagement member relative to the rail for adjusting the angle. A method of mounting a cabinet on a surface is also provided comprising mounting a rail having a flange on a surface. A cabinet as described herein is suspended from the rail by the engagement member. The adjustment mechanism is moved towards or away from the surface to adjust the angle of the cabinet.

摘要： A means of measuring and monitoring skeletal growth rate using a plasma analyte, amino-terminal C-type natriuretic peptide (NT-CNP). Plasma NT-CNP concentrations reflect the potential for further growth of the immature skeleton. Measurement of plasma NT-CNP in a subject, when related to the mean of an appropriate age and gender matched set of control subjects, provides an index of the severity of a growth disorder not otherwise available and facilitates diagnosis in children with undetected osteo-chondrodysplasias or other intrinsic disorders of the growth plate. The invention also provides a means of detecting and monitoring potentially harmful effects of drugs and other factors on skeletal growth long before they are evident using current methods in clinical practice.

摘要： A storage system comprises a base unit, one or more self supports, a drawer assembly, and one or sore stops. The base unit includes a pair of opposing sidewalls. The one or more shelf supports are adapted to be removably carried by the opposing sidewalls to define one or more storage locations. The drawer assembly includes a base shelf and a drawer slidably carried by the base shelf. The base shelf is configured to be removably supported on the shelf supports within the one or more storage locations. The one or more stops are adapted to be removably carried by the opposing sidewalls opposite the base shelf from the shelf supports. Thus, the stops retain the base shelf in engagement with the shelf supports even when the drawer is loaded and pulled partially out of the base unit during use.

摘要： A duplex stainless steel alloy has been provided which contains in % by weight:--C max. 0.05--Si max. 0.8--Mn 0.3-4--Cr 28-35--Ni 3-10--Mo 1.0-4.0--N 0.2-0.6--Cu max. 1.0--W max. 2.0--S max 0.010--Ce 0-0.2the remainder being Fe and normally occurring impurities and additives. The ferrite content is 30-70% by volume, balance austenite. The steel alloy is very suitable in the environments that exist at the production of urea, in which it may advantageously replace the austenitic steels used so far.
