The rule is intended to help create a safer work environment for drivers, and make it easier and faster to accurately track, manage, and share RODS data. As part of the MAP-21 Act, Congress required adoption of the ELD rule.
The Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Rule applies to most motor carriers and drivers who are required to keep records of duty status (RODS). This includes commercial buses as well as trucks. It applies to drivers domiciled in Canada and Mexico, unless they qualify for an exception to the rule.
All carriers and drivers subject to the ELD rule must use either an ELD or an AOBRD (automatic on-board recording devices compliant with existing regulations) by December 18, 2017. AOBRDs may be used until December 16, 2019, if the devices were put into use before December 18, 2017. Starting December 16, 2019, all carriers and drivers subject to the rule must use ELDs. ELDs must have the capability of either telematic data transfer or local transfer.
Drivers who use paper logs no more than 8 days during any 30-day period. Driveaway-towaway drivers (transporting a vehicle for sale, lease, or repair), provided the vehicle driven is part of the shipment or the vehicle being transported is a motor home or recreational vehicle trailer. Drivers of vehicles manufactured before model year 2000.
The products in this category relate to cold boxes, vaccine carriers and other insulated containers used in the transport and/or storage of vaccines. Questions to consider when choosing an insulated container are summarized in the PQS Catalogue. A list of prequalified products in this category is provided below. Links to the relevant PQS data sheet are also provided.
Manufacturers wishing to prequalify products in this category should contact the PQS Secretariat (pqs...@who.int), noting that new applications must follow procedures as described in the Guideline for manufacturers of insulated containers and coolant packs type water-packs.
Saint-Gobain NorPro has an impressive and lengthy record in the development and commercialization of catalyst carriers utilizing a wide range of materials for countless applications. Our understanding of raw materials and finished properties is unparalleled in the industry.
Our team has the ability to tailor pore structure and customize chemistry. Very close control of calcination conditions is required to produce high phase purity materials such as theta-, chi- and delta-aluminas. Titanias and zirconias are not only high purity, with no other binder materials, but also may be phase controlled anatase and rutile titanias and monoclinic and zirconias. Silica carriers have tightly controlled soda and alumina content. Silica-aluminas may show very high surface areas, while silicon carbide carriers offer exceptional thermal conductivity characteristics. Many mixed oxide materials have been developed as well.
Internal surface area and porosity are critical physical attributes of the carrier and the catalyst relies on a wide range of physical properties being optimized for a particular reaction. We have prepared a Materials Selector that will help you identify a variety of Materials, Surface Area, or Pore Volume selections. The information in these tables represents only some of our extensive capabilities. To view a list of our standard catalyst carriers, please download the brochure under the Related Literature section on this page. If you can't find what you're looking for, please Contact Us.
Catalytic surface utilization is optimized with the tailoring of the pore size distribution -- shifting toward the low or high ends or compacting, where applicable, around a required pore size diameter. The diagram indicates the wide range of pore sizes that may be incorporated into NorPro carriers. Note especially the ability to make materials with bimodal and trimodal pore size distributions that allow a carrier to be tailored to the exact requirements of a particular reaction.
Catalyst system optimization requires a surface area necessary to provide the optimum number of active sites and a pore size distribution to maximize the surface utilization. These optimized variables fix the remaining variable, and this is where Saint-Gobain NorPro's vast experience comes into play -- by tailoring the catalyst carrier to optimum conditions.
Surface area is very important in catalytic reactions. Surface Area is measured as low, intermediate and high and may vary for many products. The degree of variation possible depends upon the material.
Our standard line of high surface area ceramic carriers is only a guideline to our capabilities. We offer a relatively wide range of values for pore volume, crush strength and packing density. Yet, we can hold pore volume tolerances to 0.025 cc/gm, anywhere within the range; this determines crush strength and packing density.
Internal surface area and porosity are perhaps the most important physical attributes of the carrier because they allow active and selective catalysts to be produced. It is recognized, however, that the overall performance of the catalyst relies on a wide range of physical properties being optimized for a particular reaction.
Our catalyst selector tool is designed to help you quickly determine the right carrier for your application. Search below by raw material, surface area, or pore volume to determine which of our carriers will best suit your needs. Not sure what you need?

After you receive and test a sample carrier our team can work with you to co-develop a carrier that meets the specifications needed for your specific application.
Roch Carrier's story, The Hockey Sweater, is a tale of childhood, hockey, and a very disappointing mail-order mix-up. Discover the story behind this account of life in the small village of Sainte-Justine, Quebec, in 1946. What was it like to be a fan of Maurice Richard and the Montral Canadiens in the winter of 1946, and why did Roch Carrier write about this period of his life?
Select The Hockey Sweater to hear a shortened version of this famous story and see illustrations from the book. Select the other titles to listen to Roch Carrier speak about life and hockey in rural Quebec, his admiration for Maurice "Rocket" Richard, the importance of the Eaton's catalogue in his family's life, and how he came to write The Hockey Sweater. Images from historic catalogues and photographs, including photographs of objects in the Canadian Museum of Civilization's Maurice Richard collection, accompany each excerpt.
I remember very well the winter of 1946. We all wore the same uniform as Maurice Richard, the red, white, and blue uniform of the Montral Canadiens, the best hockey team in the world. We all combed our hair like Maurice Richard, and, to keep it in place we used a kind of glue - a great deal of glue. We laced our skates like Maurice Richard, we taped our sticks like Maurice Richard. We cut his pictures out of all the newspapers. Truly, we knew everything there was to know about him.
On the ice, when the referee blew his whistle, the two teams would rush at the puck. We were five Maurice Richards against five other Maurice Richards, throwing themselves on the puck. We were ten players all wearing the uniform of the Montral Canadiens, all with the same burning enthusiasm. We all wore the famous number 9 on our backs.
Then she did what she did whenever we needed new clothes. She started to look through the catalogue that the Eaton Company in Montreal sent us in the mail every year. My mother was proud. She never wanted to buy our clothes at the general store. The only clothes that were good enough for us were the latest styles from Eaton's catalogue. My mother did not like the order forms included in the catalogue. They were written in English and she did not understand a single word of it. To order my hockey sweater, she did what she always did. She took out her writing pad and wrote in her fine schoolteacher's hand, "Dear Monsieur Eaton, Would you be so kind as to send me a Canadiens' hockey sweater for my son Roch who is ten years old and a little bit tall for his age? Docteur Robitaille thinks he is a little too thin. I'm sending you three dollars. Please send me the change if there is any. I hope your packing will be better than it was last time."
That day I had one of the greatest disappointments of my life! Instead of the red, white, and blue Montral Canadiens sweater, Monsieur Eaton had sent the blue-and-white sweater of the Toronto Maple Leafs. I had always worn the red, white, and blue sweater of the Montral Canadiens. All my friends wore the red, white, and blue sweater. Never had anyone in my village worn the Toronto sweater. Besides, the Toronto team was always being beaten by the Canadiens.
My mother had pulled the blue and white Toronto Maple Leafs sweater over my head and put my arms into the sleeves. She pulled the sweater down and carefully smoothed the maple leaf right in the middle of my chest.
My mother sighed in despair and explained to me: "If you don't keep this sweater which fits you perfectly I will have to write to Monsieur Eaton and explain that you don't want to wear the Toronto sweater. Mr Eaton understands French perfectly but he's English and he's going to be insulted because he likes the Maple Leafs. If he's insulted, do you think he'll be in a hurry to answer us? Spring will come before you play a single game, just because you don't want to wear that nice blue sweater."
Air Interface: The cellular air interface is the radio connection between a handset and a base station. There are many cellular network types each with its own air interface standards which as a total set are extremely flexible and primarily communicate with base stations. Note: A number of general threats to the cellular air interface are listed, yet when there's a threat that is specific to a particular cellular protocol (e.g., GSM, CDMA, LTE) that is explicitly listed.
