Abstract: An aquarium water flow control device for receiving a flow of aquarium water from an aquarium and for controlling a flow of aquarium water thereafter from said aquarium water flow control device is provided. The device comprises an outlet capable of allowing the aquarium water to flow therethrough and a tube having an end positioned proximate to the outlet. The tube extends in a substantially upward direction and is capable of supplying air to the outlet when the outlet is covered with aquarium water and while the aquarium water is flowing through the outlet. The outlet is connectable to a hose leading to an aquarium water filtering device which is capable of extracting the aquarium water and air from the tube through the outlet. The aquarium water flow control device also includes a wall which divides the aquarium water flow control device into a first section and a second section.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recycling pure which is disgorged from a plastic injection molding machine. The apparatus has a hopper which is placed below the injection nozzle of an injection molding machine. Purge is released from the injection nozzle and falls into a hopper located on the apparatus. From the hopper the purge is drawn downward by two coacting compression rollers which have the dual function of compressing and forming the purge into a recyclable form. After compression and forming the purge is available for storage or reuse.

Abstract: A light-transmissive decking section for use in a decking assembly for supporting a user while allowing the user to receive light through the decking assembly. The light-transmissive decking section is provided with a light-transmissive top section. The transmissive properties of the light-transmissive decking section increase the aesthetic appeal of the decking assembly and allow the light to be used below the decking assembly for illumination and heat. The light-transmissive decking section may also be provided with a light or a solar panel to alternatively emanate light or generate power from ambient light.

Abstract: A trailer breakaway safety mechanism which brings a trailer to a controlled stop after disengagement with a pulling vehicle. The mechanism consists of a cable which remains attached to the trailer after the trailer has disengaged from the pulling vehicle. As the trailer slows in relationship to the pulling vehicle, the cable activates a breaking mechanism on the trailer. Once the breaking mechanism has been fully actuated, the hook which attaches the cable to the pulling vehicle fails thereby completely releasing the trailer from the pulling vehicle. Steel balls are swaged to the cables so that when the cable is released from the pulling vehicle, a spring lock can engage the balls and prevent the cable from retracting and releasing the actuated brake. After the trailer has come to a complete stop, a screwdriver or other tool may be inserted into the housing of a mechanism to push back the spring lock and release the steel balls which thereby allows the cable to release the trailer brake.
