Abstract: Apparatus for effecting colonic transit having a pad, defining a guide groove to overly the abdomen of a person, a roller, movable along the guide groove to apply pressure progressively along the groove to effect movement of colonic contents along the colon. The guide groove may be defined in a pad or may be defined by ridges extending outwardly of a member such as a pad. The roller may comprise a handle and a roller wheel, with the wheel preferably swivelly mounted relative to the handle.

Abstract: Lock apparatus for a latch assembly comprises a lock cylinder or cartridge inserted via an opening provided in a latch body and retained by a lock bolt thereof to engage a latch assembly spring to prevent disengagement thereof from a stationary catch; the lock cylinder is removable for unlocking by retraction of its bolt, typically by key operation.

Abstract: Intraocular lenses for implanting within natural capsular bags of human eyes have features on distal end portions to prevent movement or sliding thereof relative to fibrosis pockets or tunnels defined about proximally adjacent haptic portions to fixate haptics against dislocation.

Abstract: Hazardous electrical shocks are prevented in an electrical system, such as a swimming pool lighting system having submerged pool lights, by periodically testing for all potential hazardous electrical shock conditions associated with the system and blocking electrification of the system in response to the detection of any shock condition.

Abstract: An electrical connector has separable members for clamping plural conduits for separable circuits for electronic equipment. The members are clamped by a securement member extending through passages in the members and secured by a fastener. A plurality of prongs extend through openings in the members to engage electrical conductors to external circuits.

Abstract: A system for registering a work support pallet on an arm of a printing machine with a screen frame of the machine has spaced-apart rods pivotally mounted on a pallet tool and on an arm of the machine for accurate shuttle movement of the pallet tool and a work support pallet thereon into proximity with the screen frame.

Abstract: A steam condenser has a perforated plate extending transversely in a housing, a pipe extending upwardly from an opening in the plate and having openings in its upper portion, at least one steam inlet, and a deflector adjacent to said inlet extending inwardly of the housing and downwardly to deflect and disburse steam to enhance condensation.

Abstract: Improved laser keratotomy is provided by defining a pocket in a cornea and insertion thereinto of a spatula or cutting blade having thereon reflective or opening means for controlling application of a laser beam to corneal tissue in anterior or posterior pocket walls to control and define areas of ablation of corneal tissue.

Abstract: Health hazards to persons from prolonged exposure to high power fields, and specifically to X-ray radiation in such fields in the etiology of leukemia and other forms of cancer, are eliminated by preventive monitoring to detect corona indicating existence of ionization fields, and by coating cable and support structures with a material comprising low molecular number (Z) elements in carriers such as polymers in amorphous or molded forms to absorb energy and prevent X-ray formation. Shields of relatively high Z elements in polymer bases are provided to confine potential X-ray sources due to arcing at switch contacts.

Abstract: A system for registering a work support pallet on a carousel machine arm with a screen frame of the machine has pivot components on a pallet tool and on the arm for detachable pivotable mounting of the pallet tool relative to the arm for accurate pivotal movement of the pallet tool into proximity with the screen frame.

Abstract: A building frame structure has a plurality of frame members having tubular end portions, and a plurality of connectors of respective types having respective arrangements of lugs oriented and adapted for engagement with frame member tubular end portions for interconnection to assemble the frame structure.

Abstract: A fluid filter has separable upper and lower housing portions releasably joined in assembled relation wherein the lower housing portion closes the open lower end of the upper housing portion to form a fluid inlet chamber in the upper portion communicating with an unfiltered fluid inlet in the lower portion, and removable filter cartridges mounted on the upper end of the lower housing portion within the fluid inlet chamber in the upper portion and internally communicating with a filtered fluid outlet in the lower portion. The upper housing portion is separable from the lower housing portion to uncover the full lengths of the filter cartridges in a manner which facilitates periodic removal and replacement of the cartridges for cleaning or replacement of damaged cartridges and permits close inspection of the sealed ends of the cartridges to assure proper sealing of replaced cartridges to the lower housing portion prior to reassembly of the housing portions.

Abstract: A simulated aircraft piloting device for use as a desk top pen holder or amusement device has a simulated aircraft mounted on a base for movement about simulated pitch, roll, and yaw axes relative to the base, and a simulated aircraft control stick on the base connected to the aircraft for moving the aircraft about its simulated pitch, roll, and yaw axes.
