Systems and methods for detecting a missing coalescing element in a CV system are described. In some arrangements, the described systems and methods prevent the assembly and/or re-assembly of the CV system without an appropriate coalescing element positioned within the CV system housing (e.g., during a coalescing element service operation). In some arrangements, the coalescing element depresses a spring-loaded component of a shaft that provides flow of bypass gases to the CV system. If the spring-loaded component is not depressed, significant restriction is introduced to the CV system, and an on-board-diagnostic system may detect high-crankcase pressure through existing crankcase pressure sensors and de-rate the internal combustion engine. In other arrangements, a spring-loaded mechanism within the shaft prevents a housing cover (e.g., a lid to the housing of the CV system) from being repositioned when a coalescing element is not installed within the housing.

Disclosed is a method for protecting a tree from insects by injecting the tree with a fungicide and/or an antibiotic, and applying a composition to the surface of the tree, said composition comprising water, an insect repellent, an antihistamine, and an insect poison.

A method is shown for manufacturing a polyethylene jacket of the type used in pre-insulated piping systems. A mandrel is first coated with a brittle polymeric coating. A melt profile of polyethylene is then extruded onto the mandrel and spirally wound to produce adjacent windings. The adjacent windings make contact to form a finished jacket which is in engagement with the brittle coating. After the jacket has set, an external compressive force is applied to the tubular member thus formed sufficient to crush the internal brittle coating, thereby freeing the polyethylene jacket from engagement with the mandrel. The jacket can then be removed from the mandrel.

A vehicle hitch positioning apparatus and method for positioning a vehicle hitch over a trailer ball accurately, without the problems of lifting and positioning the vehicle hitch manually. The vehicle hitch positioning apparatus includes a base plate having a first hole through which the trailer ball is inserted, the base plate being attached to the vehicle by the trailer ball; a guide plate connected to the base plate and made to be in alignment with the base plate, the guide plate having a second hole through which the trailer ball is inserted, and the guide. plate guiding and supporting the trailer hitch into position over the second hole; and a movable catch for holding the guide plate in an apart position from the base plate. In operation, after the base plate is fixed to the vehicle using the trailer ball, the vehicle hitch is guided and positioned over the second hole by the guide plate, the movable catch is moved in a predetermined direction to release and drop the guide plate such that the trailer ball is inserted through the second hole and the guide plate drops and aligns with the base plate, and the vehicle hitch is securely positioned over the trailer ball.

A telescopic sight, mount and actuator therefor is provided for a long gun or other weapon capable of projecting a missile therefrom along a trajectory path in predetermined orientation relative to the weapon. The actuator and mount include coacting components whereby elevation adjustment of the telescopic sight relative to the weapon and focusing of the telescopic sight enables the optical axis of the sight, at any given focused range, to intersect with the point along the trajectory path of the missile at the same range distance from the weapon. The actuator includes an operator portion closely adjacent a handgripped area of the weapon whereby the operator portion may be readily adjusted as the weapon and telescopic sight are brought to bear and focus, respectively, on the target.
