Abstract: A reversible mechanical-thermal energy cell comprising: reversible intake and exhaust passages respectively leading to and from reversible rotatably connected rotary intake and exhaust volumetric periodically vanishing displacement devices of unequal rates of volumetric displacement, said rotary intake and exhaust volumetric displacements flowably connected by a reversible compression-expansion conduit, said conduit being in thermal communication with a thermal energy reservoir for containing matter subject to thermal change; and a compressible-expandible fluid reversibly traversing from said intake to said exhaust passage via said volumetric displacements and said conduit, said fluid subject to volumetric, pressure and thermal change in said conduit. Applicable in a range including thermal energy storage and retrieval, heating, cooling, cooking, refrigerating, and of fixed installation or portable.

Abstract: An artificial fishing lure having pressure sensing and hydrostatically controlled depth selection and guidance means adapted to cause said lure to seek and hold a predetermined depth in a body of water where fish of a selected species may be expected to be found. The lure is made of buoyant material and comprises a central cavity housing a hydrostatic pressure-sensitive rotary piston. A pair of elevator fins are mounted on the sides of the lure body and move up and down upon rotary motion of the piston in response to changes in water pressure.

Abstract: An artificial fishing lure having temperature sensing and thermostatically controlled depth selection and guidance means adapted to cause said lure to seek and hold a pre-determined thermal stratum in a body of water where fish of a selected species may be expected to be found. The lure is fabricated of buoyant material and comprises a central cavity housing a bimetallic heat-sensitive spiral-shaped thermostatic element therein. A pair of elevator fins are positioned on the sides of the lure body and will move up and down upon motion of the thermostatic element in response to water temperature changes.

Abstract: Upon the premises that carberation does not provide for substantial vaporization of the fuel to be combusted, this invention discloses a fuel vaporizer inserted in the air and fuel passage with liquid droplet feedback via a sieve providing a venturi effect in combination with a flow driven spinning bowl providing a centrifugal liquid return to the sieve for cycling of the liquid fuel until vaporization.
