Abstract: System for flame start-up/shut-down for a hydrogen gas mixture burner. An electrical probe igniter positioned adjacent the gas port outlet. On demand the igniter is actuated to heat and electrically heat a thermal switch. Responsive electronic controls actuate the appropriate valves and circuits for operational start-up. Upon the ignition of the generated hydrogen gas mixture, a second thermal probe is heated by the flame to deactivate the ignition and start-up circuits. After demand the second thermal probe cools and the circuit is restored for start-up again. A safety probe positioned in the flame is quiescent. In the event of demand time shut-down, the safety probe will activate the circuits for restart. If failure to start-up continues for a predetermined time, the safety probe circuit will effect permanent shut-down.

Abstract: A measuring and processing electronic circuit for measuring and visually displaying digitally the horsepower per cylinder selected for a reciprocating engine. Proximity sensors relate the rotation of cylinder by way of the fly-wheel and the crank shaft, to r.p.m. of the engine, and instantaneous position of the cylinder in the stroke. There is also provided a representative pulse for each degree through 360.degree. of the revolution of the flywheel. A pressure transducer is mechanically linked to each cylinder in the engine. A selector switch selects which cylinder's horsepower is to be measured. In arriving at horsepower per cylinder the pressure measurement is multiplied against a volume signal for each degree through the revolution. The resultants for each degree are summed and multiplied against r.p.m. measurement for horsepower per cylinder.

Abstract: The product and process of making an in-vivo body implant pharmaceutical carrier of a resorbable ceramic crystalline structure of interconnecting pores capable of the critical controlled time release of pharmaceutical preparations such as proteins, polypeptides, hormones, and other small molecular weight active materials. The ceramic is comprised of aluminum oxide (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3), calcium oxide (CaO), and phosphorous pentoxide (P.sub.2 O.sub.5) in a controlled weight percent mixture. In the process of making, the mixture is calcined. The calcined mixture is again ground and sieved through screens of two different mesh sizes to obtain desired sizes and mixed with a binder. This mixture is compressed and sintered at a predetermined temperature. The particle sizes of the sieved calcined compound and the sintering temperatures are interrelated to provide a ceramic of a desired pore size for the controlled release of the pharmaceutical.

Abstract: Method for repelling sharks and the like by creating an electric field containing a zone about an anode and/or cathode electrodes submersed in salt water. A voltage gradient of sufficient magnitude to overstimulate the nervous system of a shark has been found. The applied voltage is insufficient to disturb most scaled fish and man. The electric field is determined by considering the free space solutions of Maxwell's electro-magnetic field equations. The d.c. square wave potential is applied to the electrodes for that period of time wherein electron flow from cathode to anode is continued. The square wave potential is maintained only long enough to allow nervecell response in a shark. It is turned on with a frequency near a shark's nervous system's normal frequency.

Abstract: An optical gauging device wherein a laser beam is deflected to produce a bidirectional scan; a measuring portion of the split beam scans an object being inspected while the other portion scans a calibration reticle having alternating opaque and transparent bands. The alternating transmission and occultation of the beam through the reticle is used to generate calibration pulses, each representing a predetermined increment of movement of the calibration beam. The measuring portion of the beam is converted into parallel light beams which in turn are occulted by the workpiece being measured. A series of high and low square wave pulses are generated that are operative to start and stop the count of the calibration pulses. The count of the calibration pulses is directly related to the dimension of the workpiece being measured. A detector pulse enhancement circuit converts the measured signals to an accurate set of timing pulses independent of scan velocity, part size, part composition and interfering noise.
