Abstract: A compression garment for selective application for treatment of lymphedema and related illnesses manifested at various locations of the body. The garment includes a pair or series of layers of hermetically sealed material, that can capture pressurized air, when applied therein, and is formed through the patterned sealing of the layers of the garment together, at select locations, to form air pockets that can selectively apply isolated points of pressure to the patient's affected area, without disrupting normal vascular and lymphatic functioning. The garment is design cut, for application to various segments of the body, and applies encompassing pressure over the entire affected area, and includes valves that can allow for the injection of measurable air, to the desired pressure points, or its deflation, after treatment.

Abstract: A method of automatically sorting and placing parts for inspection is described which includes orienting the parts within a feeder and delivering the oriented parts from the feeder to an escapement. Once the parts are delivered, they are advanced from the escapement, one at a time, down a ramp, and caught by a resilient material. The parts are then transferred ring from the resilient material to a parts fixture and positioned for inspection in the parts fixture within ±0.001 inch in a vertical direction and within 0.002 inches in x and y directions, x and y defining a horizontal plane.

Abstract: There is described a method and apparatus for separating two independently modulated co-channel interfering fm carriers. The method involves generating a numerator signal being a function of generating a numerator function and a denominator function, the numerator and denominator functions being themselves functions of the ratio of the interfering carrier to the wanted carrier and of the instantaneous difference between the frequency of the wanted carrier and the interfering carrier, and performing a division process between said denominator function and said numerator function to generate a quotient function and using said quotient function to condition an output circuit.

Abstract: A structure, for example the hold of a ship, having a base surface lined with plastic sheeting having a greater coefficient of expansion than that of the base surface material held to the base surface by a fastening arrangement in which the sheeting is provided with spaced-apart engagable marginal areas bordering aperture means extending from surface to surface of the sheeting. Fastening means includes a metal pin rigidly connected to the base surface and has a shank extending through the sheeting and head means on the pin bearing on the engagable marginal areas. The marginal areas are separated from the shank by an expansion gap to allow movement of the sheeting parallel to the base surface.
