Abstract: The method of human body suspension, that includes providing an upright door, and a support body clamped to the door; straddling the door by extending human legs generally transversely at opposite sides of the door; providing grips operatively connected to the support body to project outwardly at opposite sides of the door, and manually grasping the grips to exert force acting to suspend the human torso and legs which remain straddling the door and extending transversely during suspending of the torso and legs.

Abstract: A mucous gathering device, comprising an elongated rotatable stem having a longitudinal axis, and a rotary headpiece carried at an end of the stem for angular flexing as the stem rotates, the headpiece having a face sized for presentation to the cervix entrance as the head rotates about an axis angled relative to the stem, the face having associated flexible means for gathering and retaining mucous proximate the cervix as the headpiece rotates, and a flexible rotary probe carried by the headpiece, the probe projecting forwardly and centrally relative to associated means and defining edges spaced apart to gather and propel mucous toward the headpiece in response to probe rotation in an opening defined by the cervix.

Abstract: Load storage enhancement apparatus for a truck having a rear storage platform or bed, the combination comprising two extension walls that have generally horizontally stored positions over the platform and generally upright extended positions projecting above opposite sides of the platform, framework attached to the walls in their upright positions, the framework including members extending laterally and supported by the walls at locations spaced both lengthwise and widthwise of the upright walls, the members blocking tilting of the walls, and mechanism resisting pivoting of the walls in upright positions. Elongated carrier structure is adjustably movable between extended position over a truck cab, and retracted position over the truck bed, to be locked in either or both of such positions. Carrier structure guides on the walls move with the walls between upright and lowered positions.

Abstract: A drum lug assembly, comprising, in combination first and second lugs attachable to the outer side of the drum shell, the lugs interconnected and defining aligned bores, and a receiver for a tensioning rod floatably coupling to at least one of the lugs.

Abstract: Apparatus for quick screening for vaginal moisture pH level as related to a pre-selected pH level, comprising a manipulable element including a probe insertible into the vagina, at least one pH indicator on the element, the indicator characterized as producing a color which corresponds to pH level of vaginal moisture contacting the indicator, and a local comparison zone on the element having a color corresponding to a predetermined pH level, and positioned and shaped for quick color comparison with the color of the indicator after indicator contact with vaginal moisture. A test site for vaginosis may also be located on the probe, in non-interfering relation with said indicator and/or said zone.

Abstract: A fruit picket apparatus with a motor operated cutter which can be mounted on a pole consists of a basket unit and a cutter assembly; the cutter assembly having a knife which is mounted on a motor which connects with a wire/conductor loop; which includes a switch which can be closed by the stem of a fruit to be picked; the basket unit having a basket which can hold and protect fruits; the basket unit having a compartment which can house the motor of the cutter assembly; the basket unit having a device to be clamped on a pole or a rod; the basket unit having a compartment which can house at least a battery and a portion of the wire/conductor loop of the cutter assembly.

Abstract: A method for reducing or substantially eliminating oxides of nitrogen from an effluent gas stream, that includes providing a source of ultraviolet radiation with a precise wavelength, adding ammonia or an ammonia based reagent to the effluent stream, upstream of the ultraviolet radiation source, controllably operating the ultraviolet radiation source to irradiate the effluent stream flowing in the duct and substantially reducing or eliminating oxides of nitrogen by promotion a reaction of ammonia with the oxides of nitrogen to produce N2 and H2O, and also thereby destroying any surplus ammonia. This process can also be modified to oxidize carbon monoxide and VOC's to CO2 and H2O.

Abstract: In apparatus to convert cryogenic fluid to gas, a vaporizer having passages to pass the cool or cold cryogenic fluid in heat transfer relation with warming gas flowing downwardly through the vaporizer, structure extending below the level of the vaporizer to receive the downwardly flowing gas and to re-direct it to discharge to atmosphere, the structure including ducting configured and sized to enhance the down flow and discharge rates of the gas, whereby the temperature of the discharged gas is maintained above the level that would exist in the absence of the ducting, and potential fogging at the discharge is reduced.

Abstract: A knife includes a cartridge, a blade carried by the cartridge, a holder supporting the cartridge so that the blade projects from the holder, a shield for the blade, carried to be displaced relative to the holder and blade to expose the blade, for cutting. The cartridge includes a stem, and there are first side openings in the holder, and spring arms with catches thereon presented at opposite sides of the holder, via said side openings, to be manually pushed oppositely inwardly to allow slide out removal of the stem from the holder, there being additional manually graspable side openings sunk in opposite sides of the holder and spaced apart in a first direction, away from said shield, first side openings, and blade, the catches carried by the stem to protrude outwardly within two of the first side openings sunk in opposite sides of the holder.

Abstract: Apparatus to convert LNG to gas, comprising a vaporizer having passages to pass the cool or cold LNG in heat transfer relation with warming gas flowing downwardly to discharge in multiple directions, and flow control means to control discharge of the gas flow in selected direction or directions, as a function of wind direction.

Abstract: Apparatus for quick screening for vaginal moisture pH level as related to a pre-selected pH level, comprising a manipulable element including a probe insertible into the vagina, at least one pH indicator on the element, the indicator characterized as producing a color which corresponds to pH level of vaginal moisture contacting the indicator, and a local comparison zone on the element having a color corresponding to a predetermined pH level, and positioned and shaped for quick color comparison with the color of the indicator after indicator contact with vaginal moisture. A test site for vaginosis may also be located on the probe, in non-interfering relation with said indicator and/or said zone.
