Abstract: A composite of selectively removable layers of silk screen printing ink above a base layer serving as a substrate or receptor surface. The silk screen printing inks have compositions allowing them to be permanent, selectively removed with water and selectively removed with water and detergent as a washing compound. The composite is used for selectively altering the graphic or artistic presentation of a sales or promotional item so as to reveal a hidden message underneath or simply to alter or eliminate all or portions of the presentation.

Abstract: Injectors are disclosed for use in an underoxidized burner having a single or double stage internal combustion chamber for receiving gaseous or liquid fuel such as diesel for mixture with air or oxygen and subsequent ignition by a spark plug. The injector includes feed conduits or tubes for simultaneously conducting air and fuel to a mixing device having a baffle arrangement against which separately injected air and fuel impinge causing a complete air/fuel blending which is ignited, burned and exhausted. The injector may accept effluent gases for mixing with water to produce maximum hydrogen H.sub.2 from fuels. A lamina flow is produced which is folded over and reversed in direction within the combustion chamber.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed herein for reducing engine nitrogen oxide emissions by mixing hydrogen prepared from a portion or all of engine fuel within a simple burner. The apparatus includes an insulated burner having an internal combustion chamber for receiving either a portion of or all the gaseous fuel or liquid fuel for mixture with air and subsequent ignition by a spark plug. The chamber is within a feed preheater assembly. A mixing chamber is included having a series of baffles against which injected air and fuel vapor impinge causing thorough and complete air/fuel blending into a mixture subsequently ignited and burned, and then discharged into the combustion chamber of the engine itself. The pre-heating assembly raises the temperature of the incoming air/fuel mixture via a heat exchanging process with post combusted gases from the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for stimulating capillary growth to form a capillary pool in a predetermined location of a mammal's body. This process creating a capillary pool may be used to introduce effective medications and other therapeutic agents unaltered in bio-availability through the skin which has been thinned to less than three millimeters thick. The capillary pool also permits detection of electrochemical signals from the circulating blood by sensors. These sensors can interpret chemical components of the blood such as oxygen, glucose, sodium, potassium and other elements and can be recorded from the sensor to devices that document chemicals in the blood continuously which is a much improved representation of what is happening physiologically without time restrictions. The capillary pool restores impaired blood circulation, facilitates removal of impurities from the blood, and can serve as a substitute blood supply for vascular-deficient body organs and tissues.

Abstract: A game ball is disclosed herein having an inflatable bladder or shell with selected portions thereof reduced in thickness to provide transparent or translucent patterns separated by increased thickness to provide opaque portions. The interior of the ball is occupied by a breakable liquid illumination device held in a removable housing of transparent or translucent material for conveying illumination from the device to the selected portions of the ball thereby transmitting the illumination exteriorly of the ball for visual observation. The apparatus may include ancillary components, such as hoops or nets, which may support an elongated illumination device so that the visual glow from both the ball and component may be correlated during the play of a game.

Abstract: A game apparatus has a panel with a target area supported on a frame against which a ball is aimed and tossed. The ball covering and the target area include hook and pile fastener materials so that the ball will releasably attach to the target area upon impact. The target area employs hook material while the ball covering includes the pile material. A graphic representation of a target is formed on the target area by applying pigmented ink to selected portions of the hooks and by employing a heat sublimation process to deform selected portions of the hooks along with the pigmented ink to display a particular target representation. The frame may be placed on the ground or may be floated by using buoyant spheres or bulbs secured to the frame.

Abstract: A rotary file is disclosed herein for holding a plurality of photo holders slideably carried on a pair of spaced-apart rings between support members which are mounted on a base by a swivel mechanism. The rings include an extension arm securing each ring to a turning shaft having its opposite ends rotatable through the spaced support members. Each ring includes a space or gap between opposing end segments selectively opened and closed by a closure element such as a movable sleeve or the like. Each photo holder includes openings to receive the rings so as to be slideably carried thereon. Knobs mounted on opposite ends of the turning shaft permit manual rotation of the shaft about a horizontal axis while the photo holders are loosely held on the rings.

Abstract: A conveyor mechanism for transporting trays utilizing a simple, single closed belt loop that is round in cross-section. The belt runs in and over a slider bed in straight sections and/or curved sections, and its upper edge extends above the slider bed so as to be exposed to the bottom of the trays whose weight gives the belt a frictional coefficient of engagement for transporting therealong. Line contact is provided between the transported trays and the topmost edge of the belt on which it is functionally balanced to limit the tipping motion of the load. The belt is kept operative by a motor, and guided in pulleys, slots or guides and guards, and thereby the load in effect "walks along the belt".

Abstract: An adapter system for use with an internal combustion engine flushing apparatus which permits universal connection to the crank case and the lubrication system of a large number of different sizes and types of internal combustion engines. The adapter system comprises a first adapter referred to as a crank case adapter enabling a hose of a flushing apparatus to be connected within the drain plug port of an oil path of the engine. This first adapter is provided with a mechanism to enable the adapter to fit within the drain plug port of substantially all automotive vehicle internal combustion engines without being threadably secured within the drain plug hole. A second adapter set or so called lubrication system adapter set is comprised of a plurality of different lubrication system adapter pieces which individually or in combination fit at the oil filter port leading to the lubrication system of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A self-closing squeeze container. A resilient curved plastic rib of a degree of flexibility which is used to tighten the mouth of the container with a suitable resilient return force of the rib. The rib is fastened to the ends of the mouth to keep the mouth closed under its own tension which can be overcome when the container is squeezed by hand strongly enough to flex the rib but not enough to stretch the mouth. This is done by using the force needed to retain the rib's resistance to being straightened out. Examples are given in collapsible and stand-up flexible containers including flip-top types, smooth-opening types, and audible, including audible-"snap"-action, varieties using the idea.

Abstract: Malonic anhydride and substituted malonic anhydrides are prepared by ozonolysis of the enol-lactone dimers of ketenes. The resulting malonic anhydrides can be hydrolyzed with water to form the corresponding acid, reacted with an alcohol to yield the monoester, or reacted with an amine to yield the monoamide.

Abstract: N-chlorosulfinylcarbamate esters are produced by the reaction of thionyl chloride with carbamate esters having one unsubstituted hydrogen on the carbamate nitrogen atom, preferably in the presence of a hydrogen chloride acceptor. The resulting N-chlorosulfinylcarbamate esters are useful intermediates in the preparation of pesticides having relatively low mammalian toxicity.
