Abstract: The invention relates to a two piece juicer which can be assembled by hand. This comprises one section which holds a horizontal pin which, when properly aligned with the other section which carries an extension to accept the pin, results in a pivot enabling closing and opening the respective parts.
Abstract: This invention relates to a tuneable spring/mass dynamic energy absorber with air pumps connected so that the floats become essentially stationary while energy is absorbed at a high rate. The system has a large mass ratio (water mass/float mass) and low float buoyancy rate which combine to preclude float resonances above and below the absorber frequency.
Abstract: The invention comprises rockable piece of furniture comprising side pieces, the bottom edges being irregular curves serving as rockers, a seat located therebetween, plus a back comprising a step and slide section, the side piece rockers being provided with ears to limit the rocking action, said side pieces being shaped at the top to accommodate the arms and hands of an occupant.
Abstract: A new method and apparatus for storing and delivering the electrical energy used to drive high powered, gas discharge laser devices which require transverse electrical excitation utilizes high voltage commercial storage capacitors and the optimum electrical characteristics and cost advantages of planar electrical transmission lines.

Abstract: A downdraft woodburning stove in which there is improved combustion, heat transfer and combustion regulation comprising novel air inlet circulation, grate construction and automatic control of (1) temperature of exhaust gases and (2) of combustion air, and (3) the supplies of both primary and secondary air to a plurality of combustion areas.
Abstract: This invention relates to improving the internal combustion and internal use of fuel in reciprocating engines, and more particularly to reciprocating engines which are compounded in order to effect extension of the expansion event of the four-event work cycle of such engines and which are enabled especially thereby to receive and use, for the furtherance and prolongation of the combustion process, secondary air inducted by such engines or made available by external means, said air being directly applied to the engine's working medium after the original ignition of each fuel/air charge or any equivalent thereof, and during the power-producing period in which that working medium expands.
Abstract: This invention relates to improving the internal combustion and internal use of fuel in reciprocating engines, and more particularly to reciprocating engines which are compounded in order to effect extension of the expansion event of the four-event work cycle of such engines and which are enabled especially thereby to receive and use, for prolonging and substantially improving the combustion process, secondary air inducted and compressed by secondary cylinders of such engines, said air being subsequently applied directly to and into the engine's working medium after the original ignition of each fuel/air charge or any equivalent thereof, and during the power-producing period in which that working medium expands in two coacting cylinders.
Abstract: A thermostat control to change the setting of a thermostat to a preselected point and automatically to return the thermostat to the original setting after elapse of a preselected time interval.
Abstract: This invention relates to improving the internal combustion and internal use of fuel in engines, and more particularly to engines which are compounded in order to effect extension of the expansion event of the four-event work cycle of such engines which are enabled especially thereby to receive and use, for the furtherance and prolongation of the combustion process, secondary air made available by such engines and/or other means as specified hereinafter, and separately applied to the said combustion process particularly after the ignition of each fuel/air charge or any equivalent thereof.
