I went to http://www.vulcraft.com/engineers/information/ and found a document titled "Concentrated Loads on Joist Chords" which states "SJI conducted research and determined that loads up to 100 pounds placed between panel points have a negligible effect on the overall performance on the joist"
This is quite a usefull little document when you are supporting light suspended ceilings or mechanical equipment!
