Abstract: A lamp used in photography and television comprising a housing having a filter cavity into which an optical element provided with a handle can be introduced, the housing having first and second shafts situated between two sidewalls of a holding device and extending in a longitudinal direction of the housing and bridging the filter cavity, the handle of the optical element is provided with first and second recesses which are arranged to engage the first and second shafts, respectively, the first shaft being surrounded by the first recess of the handle to allow the optical element to swing about the first shaft from a working position, in which the optical element is located within the filter cavity, into a second position in which the optical element is removed from the filter cavity and the second recess engages the second shaft, and a locking mechanism is provided for retaining engagement of the second recess with the second shaft when the optical element is in the second position.

Abstract: A light fixture assembly having both AC and DC lamps, as well as AC and DC power receptacles that is capable of operating from either an AC source or a DC source. A 110-volt AC lamp, as well as a 12-volt DC lamp are provided within a reflector housing. The reflector housing has a mask that fits onto the reflector housing. An insulating handle that contains a switch that controls AC power to the AC lamp provides insulation and improved gripping ability for a user. An electrical cord provides electrical current for both the AC and DC lamps. The electrical cord has a pair of adapters, that are compatible with first, a 110-volt AC outlet, for providing power to the AC lamp. Secondarly, the other adapter is compatible with a receptacle used for an automobile cigarette lighter, for providing power to the DC lamp.

Abstract: A lighting system having a light source is disposed inside the reflective inner surface of a reflector. The longitudinal profile of the reflector is a continuous curve comprised of four substantially circular arcs and a parabolic segment. A first arc lies nearest the source. A second arc having a radius of substantially 1/2 (1+.sqroot.5) times the radius of the first "continues" the first in the sense that the arcs have the same slope at their point of contact. Likewise, a third arc having a radius of substantially 1/2 (1+.sqroot.5) times the radius of the second continues the second arc and a fourth has a radius substantial 1/2 (1+.sqroot.5) times the radius of the third. The parabolic segment continues the fourth arc and completes the profile. Internal and external reflecting means may be provided to further align and direct the exiting light.

Abstract: A low profile fuel injection rail assembly for supplying fuel to a plurality of electromagnetic fuel injectors on an internal combustion engine. The fuel rail assembly is characterized by a plurality of fuel sump chambers defined by linearly spaced apart nodular rail sections which are connected in series by a plurality of tubular rail sections having cross sectional openings of reduced size. Each sump chamber surrounds an injector socket recessed into the bottom of the rail or an injector receptacle recessed into the top of the rail. Fuel is supplied to the injectors through inlets in the sockets or receptacles. Fuel supply and return fitments are mounted at one end of the rail along with means for connecting a fuel pressure regulator having two coaxial fuel passageways.

Abstract: A heat exchanger capable of use as a counter-flow heat exchanger comprises a series of conduits for a first fluid, the conduits being arranged in panels that are spaced apart. The intervening spaces are traversed by a second fluid, and surface-extending elements are located in such spaces, each surface-extending element comprising a sheet from which portions have been pressed out to define a number of knuckles that are located in heat-transmitting contact with a conduit panel on one side of the space. At least some of the knuckles may be secured to the conduit panel.
