Abstract: A color coded safety belt or harness to be worn by a person to protect the person from a fall and the method of making and using the belt or harness. The belt or harness is formed of first fibers of a predetermined first color, e.g., optical yellow, and also includes at least one color coded indicator fiber woven therein to indicate the year of the manufacture of the belt or harness. The indicator fiber is of a second color which contrasts with the color of the belt or harness fibers to enable the user of the belt or harness to determine if the belt or harness had been produced more than a predetermined number of years before so that a decision can be made by the user of whether or not to discard the belt or harness due to its age. The second color of the indicator fiber is a predetermined different color than the first color, and is changed in successive years, without repeating the second color.

Abstract: Microcode is loaded into, for example, a processor or I/O module within a computer system without manually halting and restarting the computer system. In other words, microcode can be loaded into the computer system dynamically while data processing continues from the processor or I/O module states just prior to the microcode load with no major interruption to the user. A microcode image is loaded into a processor which is already executing one or more tasks. A request to load microcode into the processor is received. The processor is signalled to suspend task execution. After the microcode image is transferred into the processor, the processor is signalled to resume task execution.

Abstract translation: 微代码加载到例如计算机系统中的处理器或I / O模块中，而不用手动停止并重新启动计算机系统。 换句话说，微代码可以被动态地加载到计算机系统中，同时数据处理从处理器或I / O模块继续在微代码加载之前状态，而不会对用户造成重大的中断。 微码图像被加载到已经执行一个或多个任务的处理器中。 接收到将微码加载到处理器中的请求。 发出处理器以暂停执行任务。 在将微码图像传送到处理器之后，处理器被通知以恢复任务执行。

Abstract: A system and method of use for attaching a safety rope to an elevated portion of a tower, e.g., an electric power transmission tower, so that the rope extends along the tower's leg from the elevated portion to a lower portion, e.g., the ground, to enable a worker may be secured to the rope by a safety device, e.g., a rope grab, to protect the worker from a fall. The system comprises an air rifle for shooting a projectile having a light weight flexible filament secured to it over the elevated portion of the tower, the safety rope, and plural rope-retaining gates. Once the projectile has been shot over the tower to carry the filament over the elevated portion the safety rope is connected to the filament and pulled over the elevated portion of the tower. The safety rope is then secured in place extending vertically between the elevated portion and the ground. Plural gates are mounted on the tower's leg at spaced locations therealong to hold the safety rope close to the tower leg so that it cannot flap or blow around in the wind. A worker can then attach a safety device on the rope and climb up the tower, while being protected from a fall therefrom.

Abstract: A rope grab for protecting a worker at an elevated position from a fall. The rope grab is disposed on a vertically extending safety line and is connected to the worker by a lanyard. The rope grab includes housing having a pivotable actuator mounted thereon. The actuator includes an serrated extension for engaging the safety line. A rupturable capsule containing an indicating liquid is located in the housing. The actuator is connected to the lanyard to secure the worker to the rope grab and is pivotable upon a downward pull thereon to move the serrated extension from a first position to a second position. When the serrated extension is in the first position it engages the safety line slightly to permit the rope grab to be slid therealong. When it is in the second position it tightly engages the safety line to preclude the device from being slid along said safety line, and causes the automatic rupturing of the chamber, whereupon the indicator liquid flows onto a portion of the rope grab and a portion of the safety line. The actuator is also arranged to be moved to a third intermediate position wherein the rope grab is precluded from sliding along the safety line but the capsule is not ruptured.

Abstract: A plurality of test cells in a cuvette is optically measured while the cuvette is manually moved through a sensing light beam. The cuvette is exposed in an open channel exposed to ambient light and is manually moved through the sensing light beam at an arbitrary rate. Abrupt changes in the optical density sensed by the beam are used to trigger the storage of the light beam intensity as an accepted measurement. The abrupt change is determined by comparing the currently read optical density of the cell against a predetermined moving average of previously read optical densities. A modulated sensing beam is received by a photodetector and converted from an analog to a digital signal by a fast A-to-D converter. The output of the A-to-D converter is coupled to a central processing unit which also includes as its input a bar code reader reading from a optically coded strip such instructions which are necessary to describe the number of cells, the test to be determined and other processing or reporting information. Abrupt changes in optical density caused by the passage of the edge of a cuvette cell triggers the generation of an accepted measurement from which an enzyme immunoassay test is performed.
