Thwartable bottom link for vertical line
A thwartable link for a vertical fishing line includes a substantially tubularly shaped body having a first end and a second end and first and second opposed side walls extending between the first and second ends. Each of the side walls has an axially extending elongated slot passing therethrough. A knife blade is located within the interior of the tubular body adjacent the first end but facing the second end. The fishing line extends through the slots in the side walls and through the interior of the tubular body. A stop is attached to the line adjacent the first side of the tubular body preventing the line from being pulled through the elongated slot in the first side. A tether extends between the second end of the tubular body and the line. The tether is connected to the line on the same side as the stop means but is spaced therefrom. An elastic O-ring surrounding the tubular body temporarily retains the line adjacent the second end of the tubular member. Applying a tensioning force on the line on the second side of the body causes the line to slide axially in the slots toward the knife blade to be severed by the knife blade. A time release device in the tether disconnects the tether from the tubular member after a pre-selected period of time.

Control method and arrangement for selective catalytic reduction
ActiveUS20130115152A1Simple but effectiveGas treatmentInternal combustion piston enginesEngineeringControl selection
A method for controlling a selective catalytic reduction system (SCR) exploiting a set of predetermined trigger events (101) and a set point for the NOx concentration (102). At the occurrence of a trigger event (104), NOx concentration measurement downstream from the catalyst elements (2) is started (105) and the difference between the measured concentration and the set point is determined (106). If the difference is negative, the dosing of the reducing agent is decreased (107) and a new trigger event is waited for (103). If the difference is positive, the dosing of the reducing agent is increased (108). After system stabilization (109), anew measurement is started (110) and the concentration is compared to the result of the previous measurement (111). If the measured value is below the previous measured value, the same dosing is maintained (112). If the measured value is above the previous measured value, the dosing is decreased with an amount greater than the increase after the previous measurement (113). The invention also concerns an arrangement for SCR.

Folding sidewall assembly for truck beds
InactiveUS20050067849A1Wide loadHeavy loadVehicle with living accommodationItem transportation vehiclesPickup truckEngineering
A pickup truck modification wherein the truck bed is effectively extended laterally by providing opposing, hingedly attached sidewalls. The sidewalls may be selectively positioned vertically or horizontally, and, when positioned horizontally, allow for positioning relatively wide loads. The truck bed is effectively widened as the sidewalls are laterally positioned in weight bearing relation by abutment members which depend from the sidewalls. Loads wider than the truck bed, but not substantially exceeding the additional width created by the laterally extended sidewalls, may be placed on the truck bed with the excess portion of the load supported by the sidewalls. When used in combination with an extendable ramp assembly, loading and unloading of bulky loads is greatly facilitated.
