20110109061 | SLIDING HITCH ASSEMBLY - Examples of sliding hitch assemblies, and locking mechanisms therefor are disclosed. Sliding hitch assemblies include a pair of slide rails slidably supporting a fifth wheel. Each of the slide rails in turn includes a driving position locking pin that selectively locks the fifth wheel in a driving position, and a maneuvering position locking pin that selectively locks the fifth wheel in a maneuvering position. A cam member is slidably mounted inside each slide rail, and includes a first cam surface that unlocks the driving position locking pin when the cam member is in a first position, and a second cam surface that unlocks the maneuvering position locking pin when the cam member is in a second position. The fifth wheel is mounted on a pair of downwardly facing U-shaped members slidably supported on the slide rails, and a wear block is interposed each slide rail and a corresponding one of the U-shaped members. An adjustable element may be moved relative to the corresponding one of the U-shaped members to stay adjacent the one of slide rails as the wear block wears during use. | 05-12-2011 |
20110230085 | TRAILER JACK WITH ELECTRICAL PLUG STORAGE - A plug storage assembly mounted to a jack. The jack may be used for raising and lowering a trailer through use of an electric motor configured to actuate the jack, with power supplied to the motor by a cord with a plug, the plug having a plug body and a distal end. The plug storage assembly is configured to support the plug with the distal end of the plug covered so that the plug is protected from environmental conditions. | 09-22-2011 |
20130099464 | Sliding Hitch Assembly - Sliding hitch assemblies including a rail assembly, a support assembly disposed upon and configured to translate between at least two positions along the rail assembly, a hitch head assembly mounted on the support assembly, and a translation lock mechanism including a locking assembly coupled to the support assembly and configured to selectively lock the support assembly in one or more of the at least two positions on the rail assembly, and an actuating assembly configured to actuate the locking assembly, where the actuating assembly is operably coupled to the locking body by an anti-binding assembly. The support assembly may be disposed upon the rail assembly via a glide block that includes a composite material. | 04-25-2013 |

20120216965 | WINDOW ELEMENT FOR A SIDE DOOR, IN PARTICULAR A REAR SIDE DOOR, OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A window element for a side door of a vehicle has at least one frame element including a guide and defining interconnected first and further window portals. A side pane is guidable by the frame element along the guide between a position closing the window portal and at least one position releasing the first window portal. The window element has a window web by which a frame part of the frame element is covered, at least in some regions. The frame part spatially separates the first and further window portals, and has a side pane held rigidly on the frame element. The further window portal is covered by the side pane that is held on the frame element, at least in some regions, with at least one plastics material, via which a screwed connection to the window web and/or to a door carcass of the side door is formable. | 08-30-2012 |

20090082584 | PROCESS FOR INITIATING A HIGHLY SELECTIVE ETHYLENE OXIDE CATALYST - A process for initiating a highly selective ethylene oxide catalyst is provided in which the highly selective ethylene oxide catalyst is operated first as a ‘standard’ Ag-based catalyst (e.g., a catalyst that contains only silver and alkali metal, especially cesium). Moreover, the inventive initiation procedure is more efficient when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the feed is higher than 6 vol. %, and even more efficient when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the feed is higher than 10 vol. %, of the feed mixture during the initiation period. | 03-26-2009 |
20110152549 | PROCESS FOR INITIATING A HIGHLY SELECTIVE ETHYLENE OXIDE CATALYST - A start-up process for epoxidation of ethylene is provided. The process includes initiating an epoxidation reaction by reacting a feed gas composition in the presence of an epoxidation catalyst at a first temperature of about 180° C. to about 210° C. The first temperature is increased to a second temperature of about 230° C. to about 290° C., over a time period of about 6 hours to about 50 hours, while simultaneously adding a sufficient concentration of moderator so that the amount of moderator adsorbed on the catalyst after achieving the second temperature is from about 10 to about 50 g/m | 06-23-2011 |

20080306291 | START-UP OF HIGH SELECTIVITY CATALYSTS IN OLEFIN OXIDE PLANTS - A method to achieve a controlled start-up temperature of an expoxidation process which exceeds the maximum achievable temperature of the epoxidation reactor relative to using an external heat source. The method of the present invention employs an oxidation reaction within the reactor to bring the temperature of the reactor to a temperature that is suitable for conditioning a high selectivity catalyst. The method of the present invention includes first bringing a reactor including a high selectivity catalyst to a first temperature using the external heat source to the reactor, while staying within the reactor design limitations and maintaining a gas flow to the reactor that is within 25 to 100% of the design rates. Once the reactor has achieved the first temperature, at least an olefin, e.g., ethylene, and then oxygen are introduced to the reactor feed gas. The olefin and oxygen concentrations are adjusted to have a heat of reaction that will allow raising the reactor gas flow to 100% of design and then have sufficient heat of reaction to raise the reactor temperature to a second temperature which is greater than the first temperature and greater than the temperature of the reactor achievable by the external heat source. | 12-11-2008 |
