Extractions: Home Site Map Living Ontologists INTRODUCTION "My aim in this paper is to help lay the conceptual and methodological foundations for the study of realism. I come to two main conclusions: first, that there is a primitive metaphysical concept of reality, one that cannot be understood in fundamentally different terms; and second, that questions of what is real are to be settled upon the basis of considerations of ground. The two conclusions are somewhat in tension with one another, for the lack of a definition of the concept of reality would appear to stand in the way of developing a sound methodology for determining its application; and one of my main concerns has been to show how the tension between the two might be resolved. The paper is in two main parts. In the first, I point to the difficulties in making out a metaphysical conception of reality. I begin by distinguishing this conception from the ordinary conception of reality (§ 1) and then show how the two leading contenders for the metaphysical conception - the factual and the irreducible - both appear to resist formulation in other terms. This leads to the quietist challenge, that questions of realism are either meaningless or pointless (§4); and the second part of the paper (§§5-10) is largely devoted to showing how this challenge might be met. I begin by introducing the notion of ground (§5) and then show how it can be used as a basis for resolving questions both of factuality (§§6-7) and of irreducibility (§§8-9). I conclude with some remarks on the essential unity of these two questions and of the means by which they are to be answered (§ 10)."

Help Title: Gate valve for use with vacuum equipment Document Type and Number: United States Patent 4238111 Link to this page: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4238111.html Abstract: A gate valve is provided for use in conjunction with vacuum equipment in which a gate assembly is opened and closed, for example, by a pneumatic cylinder. The gate assembly is enclosed in a valve housing, and aligned openings are provided in the opposite walls of the housing. The gate assembly is moved by the pneumatic cylinder between an open and closed position with respect to the openings. The gate assembly includes a gate which is mounted on a carriage, and the carriage is moved by the pneumatic cylinder between a first position in which the gate is open, and a second position in which the gate is closed. A feature of the gate valve of the invention is that when the gate is open, a smooth bore is provided through the valve aperture with electrical surface conductivity for short-circuiting stray radio frequency electric currents.

Extractions: Release No. 1919 / December 3, 2003 On December 3, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil injunctive action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that the principal executive officers of Styling Technology Corporation ("Styling"), including its former chairman and CEO, Sam Leopold, and its former CFO, Richard R. Ross, engaged in an extensive financial fraud between 1997 and 1999 by inflating the company's reported earnings in its filings with the Commission. The Commission's Complaint also alleges that two of the company's auditors engaged in the fraud by recklessly causing their accounting firm, Arthur Andersen LLP, to issue an unqualified audit report on Styling's 1998 year-end financial statements and by failing to object to false and misleading statements in Styling's 1999 first and second quarter reports. The Commission also alleges that Styling's fraudulent accounting practices continued through the first two quarters of 1999, when the company improperly booked millions of dollars of sales. In June 1999, it charges, Styling attempted to cover up its fraud by writing off $5.1 million of uncollectible accounts receivable and attributing the lost revenue to a strategic business decision.

Extractions: Tugboat Arthur Foss, Kirkland Washington. Photo by James Delgado, 1988 The 1889 tug Arthur Foss , ex- Wallowa , is a preserved historic vessel owned and maintained by Northwest Seaport Museum, Inc. of Seattle, Washington. Arthur Foss is moored at Kirkland, Washington on Lake Washington at the Moss Bay Marina. As built in 1889 and launched as Wallowa , the vessel was 111.6 feet in length with a 23.9-foot beam, a 11.6-foot depth of hold, and a 15-foot draft. Wallowa was registered at 225 gross tonnage and 127 net tonnage. [1] Built of Douglas fir, the tug's wooden hull was heavily built with 8- x 7-inch double-sawn frames, wooden knees, 4-inch thick outer hull and ceiling planking, treenail-fastened. The 15-inch thick keel was built with a 2- 1/2-inch thick ironbark shoe, and the hull above the turn of the bilge is sheathed with 1-inch thick ironbark. The tug's form then, as now, was of a "typical" form for this type of craft prior to the Second World War. In 1927, one author explained that while there were slight differences in design and powering
