Abstract: A bath water heater and circulator-purifier apparatus that removes microorganisms and other organic substances found in bath water and maintains the temperature of water at a given level without changing water.An apparatus according to the present invention comprises a removable filter for filtering bath water pumped up from a bath tub, a heater for heating the pumped up water, a temperature sensor for controlling the heater, an ejector for ejecting the filter and heated water into the bath tub with air bubbles having a cleansing and skin-stimulating effect and a container for adding to the bath water a water purifying agent having an effect of separating and agglomerating organic substances as well as an effect of sterilizing and deodorizing bath water and suppressing generation of steam.

Abstract: A nut adapter to be formed to hardly twist a pipe welded to a cap nut clamping fluid joint or eliminate the twist of the pipe when clamping the cap nut of the fluid joint, and a fluid joint having the nut. This nut holds a thrust bearing at a position of the nut, corresponding to the surface of the nut for pressing a sleeve when clamping the nut so that, when an unreasonable force is applied, the nut and the sleeve rotate together so as not to transmit a rotary torque to the pipe.

Abstract: An anode riser assembly for an anode means comprising an anode riser means and polymeric means substantially adhered to the anode riser to minimize the ingression of electrolyte means to the anode riser. The anode riser means is made of a film-forming metal and, preferably, does not have a myriad of intercommunicating voids therein. The polymeric means, preferably a polyester material having affixed thereto the trademark Mylar (a trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc.) which is chemically inert to the action of the electrolyte means and has high dielectric strength, substantially adheres to and follows the surface contour of the anode riser means to provide an interface therebetween into which is minimized the ingression of electrolyte means adapted to be cooperatively associated with the anode means. The anode riser assembly is especially adapted for use with anode means in either a dry or wet electrolytic capacitor.The invention also contemplates a method of making the anode riser assembly.

Abstract: A driver member rotates at a constant speed through and past 360.degree. and a driven member responsive to the rotation of the driver member rotates at an increasing or decreasing speed during a major portion of the 360.degree. rotation, there being a means maintaining the driver and driven members in engagement during and past 360.degree. rotation.

Abstract: A permanent magnet is carried by two sections of a hub, the sections being bonded together by welding.

Abstract: Ag-CdO type material suitable for use as an electrical contact material in a switching device such as a circuit breaking device is disclosed. The material contains Ag and CdO with an oxide of Sn and an oxide of an additive metal selected from Mg, Ca, or mixtures of oxides of such additive metals. The additive metal appears to form an oxide of the metal earlier during oxidation of the material than either the Sn or Cd thereby acting as a nucleating site for the formation of the oxides of the Sn and Cd. The oxide of the metals appears to tend to grow as a mixture of the oxides of the additive metal, Cd and Sn. This material has good high temperature properties, undergoes oxidation of the oxidizable constituents at a high rate and has a fine oxide particle size.The method of making the Ag-CdO type material.

Abstract: Chromate radicals are used in a capacitor electrolyte comprising a polar organic solvent containing an ionizable salt in order to improve the elevated temperature properties, shelf life and storage life of electrolytic capacitors.
