Abstract: Aircraft systems and sensors are monitored by pre-wiring a plurality of mating connectors to each system. Each mating connector has a positive voltage pin, a zero voltage pin and a reference pin. For those systems and sensors that emit zero voltage, the system is connected to the positive voltage pin while a jumper is used to connect the zero voltage pin to the reference voltage pin. For those systems emitting positive voltage, the system is connected with the zero voltage pin while a jumper is used to connect the positive voltage pin to the reference voltage pin. For each system or sensor monitored, there is a voltage comparator having both a positive and a negative input connected with a rear-mounted connector for connection with the pre-wired mating connectors. The rear-mounted connectors have identical pin arrangements with the mating connector for proper connections.
Abstract: A method of administering taurine comprises a filtration medium which contains powdered taurine, a breakable capsule which contains a taurine solution or a spraying mechanism. Squeezing or spraying the filtration medium distributes taurine solution in the filter so that it can be picked up by passing air. Powdered taurine may also be provided in the filtration means so that powdered taurine is introduced into the stream of air. Rupturable capsules containing water or other aqueous solution may also be included in the filtration medium with a person in the environment deciding whether to crush the capsules for a humidified administration of taurine solution, or not to break the capsules for the administration of dry taurine into the air.
Abstract: A support carries a pad of medicine schedules and a pad of medicine display cards. Each medicine schedule has a place for a medication sticker with a picture of the tablet or other medication involved, and space for instructions concerning that medication. Each display card carries multiple stickers of a single medication. An individual sticker can be lifted from the card and placed on the medicine schedule. A physician writes instructions concerning the medicine. The patient is provided with the medicine schedule and thus has a graphic indication of which medicine must be taken and the instructions concerning that medicine.
Abstract: A toy airplane launcher apparatus includes a toy airplane having an electric or rubberband motor for rotating a prop which is rotatably mounted to the airplane. The launcher has a guide rail which slidably carries a rear launcher section which is slidable into engagement with a front launcher section engaged to the front end of the guide rail. Two rubberbands are engaged between the front and rear launcher sections to hold them together and for biasing the rear launcher section toward the front launcher section when the two are separated from each other. The rear launcher section is engagable with the trigger and is either fixed to or detachably engaged with the airplane. When the trigger is moved, the rear launcher section moves quickly along the rail into engagement with the front launcher section. If the rear launcher section is fixed to the airplane, both front and rear launcher sections leave the rail and are launched along with the airplane.
