A glove retained by retaining enabled to be donned onto a hand by: providing gloves GR in which a cuff edge 8D of a glove palm side part is formed to be offset closer to the glove fingers compared with a cuff edge 8U of a glove back side part; hanging the gloves GR by engaging an upper portion of the glove back side part located in the vicinity of the upper cuff edge 8U and above the lower cuff edge 8D, with the glove cuff being directed upward and the palm side part with a lower cuff edge 8D being placed in front; opening the cuff of the foremost one of the gloves to an extent sufficient to enable the hand to be inserted therethrough; and applying a force to the glove to disengage the glove after inserting the hand through the opened cuff from above.

Disclosed is an optimized process and apparatus for more efficiently and economically carrying out the liquid-phase oxidation of an oxidizable compound. Such liquid-phase oxidation is carried out in a bubble column reactor that provides for a highly efficient reaction at relatively low temperatures. When the oxidized compound is para-xylene and the product from the oxidation reaction is crude terephthalic acid (CTA), such CTA product can be purified and separated by more economical techniques than could be employed if the CTA were formed by a conventional high-temperature oxidation process.

A tape measure is disclosed which has a spooled measuring blade mounted via a rotatable connection within a casing. The blade is extended from the case via an opening for use. The blade can be braked with respect to the opening by operation of braking means. The braking means are operable via a switch which has a length greater than the radius of the fully spooled blade. The switch is located and sized so that the brake can be engaged or disengaged by a user's hand without changing grip. The brake is a cam brake rotatably connected to the switch via a push-pull member.

A method of recovering carbon dioxide from a synthesis gas stream generated within a facility having a synthesis gas reactor, a water-gas shift reactor and a steam generation system for generating steam for the synthesis gas reactor and for export. After the synthesis gas stream is passed through at least one process heat exchanger of the steam generation system located downstream of the water-gas shift reactor, the temperature of the synthesis gas stream is increased while simultaneously adding steam to the synthesis gas stream. Thereafter, the synthesis gas stream is added to an absorption system having an absorption zone utilizing a solvent to absorb the carbon dioxide and a regeneration zone to disengage the carbon dioxide from the solvent and thereby regenerate the solvent. Heat is transferred from the synthesis gas stream to the regeneration zone to promote disengagement of the carbon dioxide from the steam and such that between about 40 percent and about 90 percent of the carbon dioxide originally present in the synthesis gas stream is recovered. The temperature of the synthesis gas stream can be increased and steam can be added thereto by mixing superheated steam with the synthesis gas stream. Alternatively, a synthesis gas stream can be introduced into a saturator utilizing a water stream that undergoes indirect heat exchange with a low pressure steam stream.

A loader includes a receiving section for receiving a FOUP (front opening unified pod), an opener for transporting substrates out of the FOUP, and a transport robot for transporting the FOUP between the receiving section and the opener. When the opener transports the substrates out of the FOUP, the FOUP is placed on a holding table. The holding table is formed with a notch permitting a transport arm of the transport robot to pass through vertically. Thus, the downward passage of the transport arm with the FOUP held thereon through the notch allows the direct transfer of the FOUP from the transport arm to the holding table. This reduces the time required for the FOUP transfer operation, to provide a high throughput, thereby providing a substrate transfer apparatus capable of achieving a high throughput.

A multi-coupler assembly for a work vehicle includes a first bank of fluid connectors, a second bank of fluid connectors configured to matingly engage the first bank of fluid connectors along a coupling axis, and a coupler mechanism coupled to the first bank of fluid connectors. The coupler mechanism is controllable to bring the second fluid connector bank into mating engagement with the first fluid connector bank. A breakaway feature is integrated into the coupler mechanism. The breakaway feature facilitates controlled disengagement of the first fluid connector bank from the second fluid connector bank along the coupling axis during a breakaway event, such as when an implement inadvertently detaches from the work vehicle. The breakaway feature may permit controlled disengagement of the first and second fluid connector banks without requiring movement of the coupler mechanism.

An easily removable fire sprinkler head paint cover to be temporarily installed over and around a fire sprinkler head so as to prevent paint or other finishing materials from coming into contact with a fire sprinkler head and to allow for uniform and systematic painting or finishing of walls or ceilings in which fire sprinkler heads are installed.

A materials pushing or moving blade for use with heavy equipment vehicles, for example, a bulldozer or loader, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for moving snow, specifically a snow moving blade having a reinforcing gusset for strengthening the extended sidewalls of the snow moving blade.
