Abstract: An animal litter comprising a magnesium montmorillonite alone or in combination with other animal litter material.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a medium incorporating melanin for radiation protection.

Abstract: A jogging apparatus having a frame supported by wheels, handle grip means attached to the frame for gripping the apparatus, the handle grip means being moveable in a generally vertical direction with respect to the frame and spring means being connected to the frame and the handle grip means, the spring means resisting the downward movement of the handle grip means with respect to the frame.

Abstract: Amines are injected in hydrocarbon processing units to remove and/or to prevent the formation of ammonium salt deposits. Furthermore, oxygen containing hydrocarbon compounds are injected in hydrocarbon processing units to remove metal compound deposits. The amines and/or the oxygen containing compounds may be injected alone or in combination. Furthermore, the amines and/or the oxygen containing compounds may be used in combination with filming agents that are suitable for corrosion control in such units.

Abstract: A golf cart top roof for stowing golf clubs and other golf accessories is disclosed. The roof structure includes four walls forming a compartment therebetween that houses two sets of tubular members. Each set is adapted to receive a set of golf clubs and other accessories needed by a golf player.

Abstract: Automatic Hydraulic Thruster for hole boring including a mandrel and sleeve forming two expandable chambers with plural wall anchor means annularly disposed about the sleeve responsive to pressure differential between one chamber and the bore hole pressure and three-way valve means for automatically connecting the chambers respectively first with mandrel pressure and bore hole pressure and then vice versa.

Abstract: A wrench having a stationary jaw mounted on a handle, a rigid member releasably attached to the handle and an adjustable jaw disposed on the rigid member, the rigid member retaining the adjustable jaw in an interengageable position with the handle when the rigid member is locked with the handle by a latch.

Abstract: A downhole relief valve connected to a tubing string in a producing well above the packer for controlling the well to prevent excess pressure built up in the annulus and casing damage following a tubing rupture at a point where the flowbore pressure exceeds the annulus pressure. The valve has a housing, fluid communication means between the flowbore and the annulus and a piston mounted within the housing for reciprocating between an open position and a closed position to allow flow in the fluid communication means between the flowbore and the annulus. The piston is biased to the closed position by compressed gas and/or a shear pin and to the open position by the hydraulic force exerted by the fluids from the casing annulus. If the hydraulic force exerted by the fluids from the casing annulus exceeds the forces biasing the piston to the closed position, the piston moves to the open position and fluid from the casing annulus flows into the flow bore and kills the well.
