Abstract: A hydrocarbon fluid containment article having a wall with a surface that is wetted by hydrocarbon fluid. The surface includes an anti-coking coating. The anti-coking coating includes a copper salt, a silver salt, or a combination thereof. A gas turbine engine component including a wall having a first surface and an anti-coking coating on the first surface of the wall that is wetted by hydrocarbon fluid. The anti-coking coating including a copper salt, a silver salt, or a combination thereof that prevents the formation of gum or coke on a surface thereon. Methods for reducing the deposition of thermal decomposition products on a wall of an article are also provided.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first cable contact with a mating surface and a retaining surface, a housing, a retaining device, and at least one groove. The housing defines a first passage for receiving the first cable contact, a second passage for mating with a portion of a second cable contact, and an opening which extends to one end of the first passage. The retaining device is mounted in the first passage and engages with at least a portion of the retaining surface of the first cable contact to detachably retain the first cable contact in the first passage. The groove is formed in the retaining surface of the first cable contact. The opening in the housing is in communication with the groove.

Abstract: A spring loaded electrical connector system includes a socket contact, at least one biasing element, and a pin contact. The socket contact extends along a first axis and has a base and a plurality of tines which extend out from the base and are arranged around the first axis to define a passage with an open end The biasing element biases at least one of the plurality of tines towards the first axis. The pin contact detachably engages in the passage with the at least one of the plurality of tines biased by the biasing element.

Abstract: A spray unit attachable to a door which ejects a spray into a room when the attached door is in the open position. The device is in the form of a bracket which holds an aerosol spray can in the erect position. A spring-biased knob that may be pushed downwards is pivotably mounted in the bracket directly over the center push button of the attached aerosol can. A wire rod which passes through the bracket is pivotably mounted to the door jamb near, not on, the hinge line of the door, with a bent section of the rod located to press upon the knob and cause the aerosol can to spray when the bent section slides over the knob when the door is opened.
