Abstract: A system to overcome the visual aberration of spherical automotive rear view mirrors, related to the distance between vehicles, requires no measurement or mathematical skills. The system includes means for visually determining the curvature of a mirror, and templates for the proper placement of etched film strips which frame a safe return target area on the mirror. This target area is an indicator of when a vehicle seen in the mirror is at a safe distance behind the vehicle with the marked mirror.

Abstract: An improved ladder leveler which is made up of inner square bar and outer square tubes which slidably move axially in relation to each other vary the degree of extension. Locking the same by the insertion of a cotterless pin through aligning holes provided the inner bar and outer walls, the outer walls of said square tubes having ladder rung brackets which are spaced to accommodate ladder rungs; the leveler being fastened to the ladder and ladder rungs locked in place by the threaded engagement of a formed threaded pin which extends through the rung brackets and secured with a hair pin to engage a stile bracket which engages the ladders stile.

Abstract: An improved expresso coffee maker comprising an upper cylindrical container 2 threadably engaged onto a lower truncated-cone container 1, said lower container having a coffee basket assembly 3 in which a cylindrical coffee holder 4 is centered with a piston 5 sliding inside, said piston has apertures 6 to allow passage of water and steam and to create differential pressure above and below the piston, which forces the piston to compress the coffee grounds during the brewing process. The water extract of the coffee grounds passes through inverted funnel 15 and it is collected into the upper cylindrical container.

Abstract: Wiper for guide rails for linear motion systems which incorporates two inverted "L" shaped plates bonded to a flexible elastomer pad. The metal plates having a gap therebetween to permit the wiper to be flexed over the guide rails.

Abstract: An easily removable transparent guard for channel bed presses which includes a transparent vertical member with support means which are affixed to the channel bed by two spring loaded lineally adjustable members which extend over and interlock with the channel bed.

Abstract: Delineation of the centerline of a bed by incorporating visible and tactile decoration into the centerline of form fitted bottom sheeting.

Abstract: A vascular graft which incorporates a flexible shunt to significantly reduce the time that blood flow to vital organs and extremities is interrupted during removal of diseased sections of a blood vessel.

Abstract: A method to improve infusion and diffusion of local anesthesia into the gum surrounding a decayed tooth by the application of ultrasound vibration to the hypodermic syringe and needle as local anesthesia is being injected into the gum.

Abstract: A waterproof flexible glove with extended sleevelet with releasably lockable cuff fastenable to a shirt or blouse sleeve, having reservoirs on the fingers and palm which act to retain cleansing solutions by the surface tension of the cleansing solutions and methods of manufacture.
