Axial seal elements (60, 61) are provided at the rotor tips and trailing tips of the rotors respectively. Circumferential axial edge seals (59) are also provided to interconnect the axial seals. The seals engage sealing plates (30) on each axial side of an engine housing (29) so as to effect the combustion chambers. Fuel inlets and ignition means are provided at suitable locations, as are exhaust means.

Abstract: There is provided an internal combustion engine (10) having a housing (11,12,13) and a rotor arrangement (21,22,34) which is mounted for oscillating rotary movement within the housing. The housing provides at least one compression chamber (14) and at least one associated compression chamber (30) and the rotor provides piston means (23, 36) for each chamber. The rotor also has internal passage means for effecting selective communication between the compression and combustion chambers.

Abstract: An animal repellent formulation particularly suited to deer and geese, and a method for warding off the animals from a vegetated area. The formulation is an admixture of water, Rosemary oil emulsion and mint oil emulsion. Additional agents can be added, such as a thickener, white distilled vinegar, salt and dry eggs. The formulation can be applied to a support medium, such as clay or a length of rope, and then associated with the vegetation to be protected. The formulation can also be formed into a viscous composition and used in containers near the vegetation to be protected.

Abstract: An arrow is provided with a head that will take game in a more humane way and without long suffering. This new arrowhead is a dual powder-charged multiple-strength powered projectile that is activated after a delayed interval. As a result of the unleashed power caused by this activation, the arrowhead's bullet housing point will just flare out and the cases will induce powerful venting to rupture the vital organs nearby, or it will flare out and separate itself from the rest of the housing, the tissue anchored arrowhead causing damage by its path forward. Because all this action occurs inside the game's body, it is silent but gravely stunning to all organs. The result is on the spot drop and expiration, with minimal suffering and positive retrieval.

Abstract: A deer repellent formulation and method for warding off a deer from a shrub or plant. The formulation is an admixture of water, eggs, adhesive and animal blood. Hot peppers can also be added to the formula. The formulation can be applied to a support medium such as clay or a length of rope and then associated with the vegetation to be protected.

Abstract: A filter apparatus having a filter bag subassembly for collecting contaminating material. The filter bag sub-assembly includes five diametrically and axially-spaced bags and an integral collar. The five spaced bags form five spaced chambers and the integral collar has a stepped shape forming five cylinder support portions for the five spaced bags.

Abstract: The disclosed invention is an apparatus for the distillation of liquids. The apparatus has a plurality of vertically-stacked, parallel disks which are rotated. The liquid to be distilled is introduced into the center of the disk stack and migrates by centrifugal force as a thin film across side 1 of each disk. During migration, the more volatile portion evaporates from side 1 and condenses on side 2 of a neighboring disk. Energy requirements for distillation are provided by heat transfer from side 2 to side 1. The apparatus is substantially adiabatic in that vaporization and condensation occur without external supply of heating or cooling.

Abstract: A smoke generator wherein vaporative properties of a liquid smoke agent are activated by a heated air flow through a venturi with the vacuum created in the metering venturi controlling the flow of smoke producing liquid to the heated air. The smoke generator includes an air compressor, a heater, a metering venturi, a side venturi pipe, a smoke fluid reservoir, and a support.

Abstract: A radiation dosimeter for preparing a dosage map of a specific rotary canister of a blood radiating machine. This dosimeter includes a sandwich assembly of a first panel and a second panel and a gamma ray-sensitive film disposed therebetween, for mounting temporarily in the canister during gamma ray dosage and canister rotation.

Abstract: A filter apparatus having a bag filter subassembly for collecting contaminating material. The bag filter subassembly includes a bag filter unit and an integral collar. The bag filter unit has an outer layer having mesh of selective strand size and selective pore size to give added strength to the bag.

Abstract: A single-use syringe for covering its needle after injection of a medical preparation. The syringe has a barrel and has a non-reversible shield for covering the needle. The shield has an inclined interior shield tooth of resilient material, and the barrel has a coacting inclined exterior row of teeth of non-resilient material, whereby the shield tooth locks behind a barrel tooth when the needle is covered and the shield cannot reverse its travel.

Abstract: A fire fighting trainer for use in training fire fighters is provided. The fire fighting trainer includes a structure having a plurality of chambers having concrete or grating floors. Each chamber contains one or a series of real or simulated items, which are chosen from a group of items, such as furniture and fixtures and equipment. The trainer also includes a smoke generating system having a smoke generator having a smoke line with an outlet for each chamber. The trainer also includes a propane gas flame generating system having at least one propane gas pressure controller and a gas line with a burner control and one or more single element or multi-element burners for each chamber. The trainer has a main control panel for regulating the flame generating system and the smoke generating system and for controlling the fire, or fires, and smoke in each chamber.

Abstract: A protective wound bandage which allows for the body's natural epitheliazation process to be enhanced by the function of said bandage in the following ways. A non-stick surface is provided to make contact with the wound. An absorbent pad is provided for body fluid drainage. The skin adhesive surfaces of the flexible plastic strip which can be made to any dimension, in combination with the pad act to protect and cohesively and coherently bind the wound edges together. The removably, reattachable, tear tab provides the ability to regulate and monitor oxygen flow to the injury site. The pad, in either the standard or perforated form acts to protect against shock and also acts as an medicant delivery system. The bandage acts as a medicant delivery system and is also simultaneously, variably, oxygenatable. The bandage is engineered to operate in either the dry or medicated versions.
