Abstract: The present invention comprises a multi-component mattress comprising a pillow top detachably connected to a mattress core. The mattress core comprises a plurality of hydraulic cylinders, liquid impervious covers for the cylinders, a variety of foam cushions positioned on top of the so-encased cylinders, a resilient edging holding the cylinders in place and defining the outer perimeter of the mattress core, a moisture barrier, and a cover encasing the core members. Upon assembly, water is added to the cylinders. A unique feature of this mattress is that it is manufactured and sold in knock-down, ready-to-assemble form. This provides for compactness in shipping, ease of handling, and a substantial reduction in consumer cost. The mattress is used in combination with a planar support platform which also is disclosed.

Abstract: A process for recovering thermal values and organic materials from solid carbonaceous fuels, i.e., bituminous coals and lignites, by contacting such fuels with waste foul condensates, known as black liquor, from pulping operations thereby to solubilize thermal value containing organic materials therefrom and simultaneously provide a use for the heretofore considered unusable black liquors, the disposal of which up to now has presented both an economical and ecological problem.

Abstract: A process for recovering oil from oil containing masses and formations by contacting such oil bearing masses with waste foul condensates, known as black liquor, from paper and pulping operations, thereby to free the oil present or bound up in such masses and simultaneously provide a use for the heretofore considered unusable black liquors, the disposal of which up to now have presented both an economical and ecological problem.
