Abstract: The recessed light fixture has an adjustable structure enabling it to be rotated in relation to the ground located beneath it or other reference level so that it is level, while it remains attached to a support structure. The recessed light fixture includes a cover and a light assembly contained within a housing. The light assembly is attached to the housing using retention members that are positioned within elongated receiving slots located on the light assembly. The receiving slots allow the light assembly to be rotated within the housing. Further, the receiving slots enable the light assembly and cover attached to the light assembly to be repositioned without having to reinstall the housing.

Abstract: The machining head for machining valve seats comprises a driving system, a housing, a carriage feed assembly, a cutting tip mounted on the carriage, and a counterweight assembly. The driving system rotates a machining head on a spindle axis, and further provides independent vertical translation of each of a driving arbor and a spindle, both of which are independent of the rotation of the spindle. The carriage has both forward and backward feed capability for moving the cutting tip radially inward or outward as it cuts. Vertical movement of the arbor is converted into force for moving the carriage by a cantilever pivoting around a fixed point. The counterweight assembly, linked to the arbor by a second cantilever, counterbalances the shift in weight caused by the movement of the carriage in order to maintain dynamic balancing as the machining head rotates.

Abstract: The transformer box connector comprises a plurality of terminal blocks and a terminal block retainer with a hinged cover mounted on a housing. The terminal block retainer has a plurality of insulating ribs that act as partitions. Terminal blocks for receiving at least one electrical wire are mounted within the spaces between each insulating rib. Each terminal block is mounted to the terminal block retainer by a planar member that extends from its base. A fastening member, which provides an electrical connection from the wire secured in the terminal blocks to the transformer, extends from the planar member and can be configured as a fastening screw or a fastening post. The fastening member provides means for attaching the terminal block to the terminal block retainer and to the transformer housing. The hinged cover may include openings for access to set screws in the terminal blocks.

Abstract: The in-ground, or “well light”, fixture comprises a hollow cylindrical housing, a bezel and lens mounted at the upper end of the housing, and a lamp assembly comprising a watertight lamp enclosure containing a lamp and reflector. The lamp enclosure is secured by support brackets which extend downward from the bottom portion of the bezel to provide three-axis adjustability of the lamp. An optional mounting ring is attached at the upper end of the housing to form a flange to facilitate stable placement of the well light in the ground as well as providing an attractive frame around the fixture. The lens is retained at a shallow angle within the bezel to permit water and dirt to run off of the lens surface.

Abstract: The tool comprises a body having a top portion within which is formed a generally U-shaped notch with a width and depth that are much larger than the diameter of the wire to be handled. The sides of the notch are outwardly tapered so that the notch is wider at its top. All edges of the notch are smoothed and have a radius such that there is no binding of the wire onto the tool. The design of the tool allows the wire to easily slip across the bottom of the notch without binding. The lower portion of the cylinder comprises a concentric bore for receiving a pole or other lifting device.

Abstract: The outdoor lighting comprises a stem, a socket disposed in the top of the stem for retaining a halogen lamp, a socket housing, a diffuser lens and a reflector top. The socket housing has a lower cylindrical portion having a first inner diameter for fitting over the outer diameter of the upper part of the stem, a second cylindrical portion having a second inner diameter larger than the first inner diameter adapted to closely fit over the outer diameter of the cylindrical diffuser lens. The lower cylindrical portion of the socket housing has a slot extending upward from its bottom edge with a width greater than a diameter of a locking screw that is screwed into a bore in the side of the stem.

Abstract: The cutting tool for machining valve seats comprises a driving system, a spindle assembly, and a system controller. The driving system provides rotational movement and vertical movement for the spindle assembly which is controlled by the system controller. The spindle assembly further comprises a spherical sheath providing capability to align a spindle to any valve seat orientation, the spindle for rotating a universal cutting blade, a machining head attachable to the spindle, a tool holder carriage for holding the universal cutting blade, and a pinion feed driving assembly or set of connecting rods for controlling the cutting radius of the universal cutting blade. The pinion feed driving assembly is driven by a servo motor which moves the spindle vertically and independent from the vertical movement of the spindle assembly and the rotational movement of the spindle. The system controller includes memory and programming for controlling the operation of the universal cutting blade.

Abstract: The cutting tool for machining valve seats comprises a driving system, a machining head, a pilot, a depth gauge, and a system controller. The driving system provides rotational movement and vertical movement for the machining head which is controlled by the system controller. The machining head further comprises a pinion feed driving assembly and a universal cutting blade. The pinion feed driving assembly causes the cutting radius of the cutting tool to decrease as the machining head rotates. The pilot is attached to the bottom of the machining head to provide a means for centering the cutting tool. The depth gauge is disposed on the driving system and is electrically connected to the system controller. The depth gauge measures the distance between a valve seat and the cutting blade. The system controller includes memory and programming for controlling the operation of the cutting tool. An operator can input the parameters that define the geometry of the valve seat profile.

Abstract: Combinations, called matrices with memories, of matrix materials with remotely addressable or remotely programmable recording devices that contain at least one data storage unit are provided. The matrix materials are those that are used in as supports in solid phase chemical and biochemical syntheses, immunoassays and hybridization reactions. The data storage units are non-volatile antifuse memories or volatile memories, such as EEPROMS, DRAMS or flash memory. By virtue of this combination, molecules and biological particles, such as phage and viral particles and cells, that are in proximity or in physical contact with the matrix combination can be labeled by programming the memory with identifying information and can be identified by retrieving the stored information. Combinations of matrix materials, memories, and linked molecules and biological materials are also provided.

Abstract: A hands-free adapter for interfacing a mobile phone handset with an existing audio system attaches to the handset by means of the accessory connectors that are generally located on the bottom or back of the handset. The adapter modulates the received audio from an in-coming call with a pre-selected FM or AM carrier frequency, and broadcasts the resulting, low power signal to the antenna of a receiver of the existing audio system, which may include a home stereo system, a portable stereo system, or a vehicle radio. The receiver is tuned to the carrier frequency used by the adapter so that the in-coming audio from the mobile phone can be heard over the audio system speakers. For Radio Data System (RDS)-capable radio receivers, a processor is provided within the adapter to generate channel data, which is then transmitted with the carrier signal. The RDS-capable radio receives the RDS signal and automatically tunes itself to the selected channel.

Abstract: Pre-fired ceramic substrates are elected according to the desired electrical performance of the filter. If necessary for enhanced performance, the surfaces of the substrate may be lapped to assure that their top and bottom surfaces are parallel and their surface finish is smooth. The top surface of a lower layer is coated with a conductive film using thick film techniques then patterned to define the filter trace pattern. For precise dimensional control, photolithographic techniques may be used. The bottom and the sides of the lower layer are coated with the same conductive film. A seal glass which has a coefficient of thermal expansion which is matched as closely as possible to that of the ceramic substrate is screen printed onto the top surface of the lower layer. The top of the upper layer is screen printed with the conductive film and the bottom of the upper layer is coated with the seal glass. The upper and lower layers are bonded together by clamping them together and firing the seal glass.
