Abstract: A tine assembly for a cultivator includes a first tine member having a plurality of radially extending non-planar tines. At least two tines on each tine member differ in shape from the remaining tines. The tine assembly may include a second tine member which is shaped like a mirror-image of the first tine member. When assembled on a shaft, the second tine member is off-set from the first tine member so that tines on alternating tine members contact the ground as the shaft rotates.

Abstract: An adjustable mowing and trimming apparatus is presented having a wheel adjust mechanism and trimming assembly. The apparatus includes a housing to which at least two wheels are rotatably mounted at opposite sides of the wheel adjust mechanism. The wheel adjust mechanism includes a pair of wheel brackets having a C-shaped configuration, each of which pivotally attaches to the housing and is provided with an outwardly extending axle for supporting a wheel. A tie rod attaches at respective opposite ends to the wheel brackets. A slotted bracket is attached to the tie rod and movable in response to a movable arm to reorient the wheels on either side of the housing. The trimming assembly is mounted at a front portion of the housing and includes a spindle assembly rotatably attached to a shaft, which is fixedly attached to the housing.

Abstract: A modular container for storing and dispensing liquids which has a body, an upper protecting wall, a lower protecting wall, at least one connector port with a valve, preferably a second connector port attached to a tube that extends upwards into the interior of the body, and a level indicator. The first and second connector ports are attached to the bottom of the body and incorporate a connector and are connected through an opening in the lower protecting wall. The lower protecting walls of the container are such that they have the ability to nest within the upper protecting walls of additional containers, thus allowing two or more containers to be stacked one on top of another. The second connector port which is attached to the tube extending into the interior of the body can be used for the purpose of venting the interior of the body and for cleaning the inside of the container without the necessity of moving or transporting the container.

Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer composition for use in automotive interiors, wallcoverings, upholstery, advertising banners and films and tenting which comprises a major amount of a thermoplastic elastomer or elastomers having a weight average melt index of less than 6, a minor amount of a polymeric elastomer, a flame retardant, a maleated polypropylene, and a filler material.

Abstract: An electrochemical device is designed to conduct a process gas both horizontally and vertically through the electrochemical device, such that problems resulting from mal-distribution of the process gas are substantially eliminated. The structure of the electrochemical device includes a stacked assembly of planar sheets of parallel, integrally connected tubes, wherein the tubes conduct a first process gas horizontally throughout the electrochemical device, passages defined between adjacent stacked sheets conduct a second process gas horizontally throughout the electrochemical device, and novel apertures formed at the connection between adjacent tubes within the sheets conduct the second process gas vertically throughout the electrochemical device.

Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer composition for use in automotive interiors, wallcoverings, upholstery, advertising banners and films and tenting which comprises a major amount of a thermoplastic elastomer or elastomers having a weight average melt index of less than 6, a minor amount of polyolefin, a minor amount of a polymeric elastomer and a filler material.

Abstract: A plurality of nail current collector members are useful in the gas flow passages of an electrochemical device to optimize the active surfaces of the device and to provide structural support. In addition, the thicknesses of cathode and anode layers within the electrochemical device are varied according to current flow through the device to reduce resistance and increase operating efficiency.

Abstract: A method of treating epithelial cell cancer comprising administering to a mammalian patient diagnosed as having an epithelial cell cancer a therapeutically effective amount of 4,5 di-cyclo, disilico, dimagnesium, dialumino, oxyo, trihydrate, or its acetate, sulfate, hydrochlorate, or brominate salts. The composition is synthesized from a naturally occurring non-toxic zeolites, and has a 100% kill rate within 72 hours against buccal mucosa and ling squamous epithelial cell cancers. It is not cytoxic to healthy human cells.
