Abstract: A novel electronic transceiver that alternatively performs either as a voltage-to-frequency (V/F) converter or as a frequency-to-voltage (F/V) converter. The transceiver can selectively be operated in either of the two modes by appropriate terminal connections which cause the transceiver to perform in the particular mode desired or necessary. The transceiver includes an analog integrator, a voltage follower, and a charge transfer circuit interconnected and having selectable terminals for external connections whereby the circuit performs selectively in either the V/F mode or the F/V mode.

Abstract: A dispenser container wherein magnetizable needles, tools, or the like, are mounted upon a magnet element secured pivotally to the interior of the container by means of a fabric hinge. The pivoting motion of the magnetic bar is produced by the alternating forward and retracting movements of the cover or closure element for the container whereby the needles move into a substantially horizontal position when the container is closed. When the cover is retracted, the pivoting motion of the magnet induced by gravity causes the needles to move pivotally whereby the freely extending forward portions thereof extend externally of the container to facilitate individual selection.

Abstract: A system and apparatus for separating different types of particulate materials selectively by subjecting a moving mixture of said materials to a combined applied direct current (D.C.) voltage and radio frequency (RF) electric field, thereby causing the particles to become differentially heated in accordance with the respective dielectric constants and loss factors of the various particles. The separation is accomplished as a result of the differential loss of electrostatic charges impressed upon the different types of materials in accordance with their respective physical and chemical characteristics. During this process, there is no permanent or irreversible alteration in the chemical and physical properties of the particulate materials.

Abstract: A carrying bag or tote bag to the exterior sides of which is removably attached a flexible wrap-around element which, on its exterior surface, is impressed or otherwise applied the design of a game board, or the like. The wrap-around element can be detached from the bag and extended flat on a suitable plane surface to form a game board upon which the game can be played. The design of the game board on the wrap-around element serves also as a decorative feature of the bag.

Abstract: The system and apparatus herein incorporate means for effectively and significantly reducing the liquid components of the fuel mixture passing through a cylinder located between the carburetor and the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine. The invention includes a stationary circular array of radially arrayed overlapping slanted spaced baffles or blades located in the fuel stream. Formed or otherwise mounted on the lower or trailing edge of each blade is a radially extending flange or scoop which catches and projects liquid components from the fuel stream through a corresponding aperture in said cylinder and into a collection chamber surrounding said cylinder. The collection chamber contains a reticular, webbed, or porous material for retention and drainage of the excess liquid components. Additional means are provided to restore a desired quantity of liquid fuel to the fuel stream when the engine requires temporary surge or demand power.

Abstract: The system and apparatus herein incorporate means for effectively removing significant quantities of liquid components from the fuel mixture while the latter passes from the carburetor to the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine, and for recovering said liquid components and recycling them through the fuel supply system in order to effect appreciable savings in fuel consumption during operation of the engine. The invention includes means for centrifuging liquid components from the fuel stream into an adjacent collection chamber whence said liquids move continuously into a drain tank which maintains a closed system with the collection chamber. The capture of liquids in the collection chamber may be improved by incorporating a reticular packing therein. Additional means are provided to restore a desired quantity of liquid fuel to the fuel stream when the engine requires temporary surge or demand power.
