Abstract: A post having particular utility for use in a highway sound barrier wherein a number of posts are set along the highway to support acoustical panels. Each post is made of reinforced precast concrete having side channels to mount the acoustical panels. The posts are supported on poured concrete footings having a tapered depression in the top surface which is reinforced by a surrounding array of closed loop reinforcing rods. The post is inserted in the depression and bonded thereto by a quick setting grout.

Abstract: A film movie projector and table lamp are combined so as to serve as a lamp, a projector, or both. A table lamp is supported on a support tube extending upwardly from the lamp chamber of the projector. The lamp can be wired to utilize the internal power supply of the projector by means of specifically designed electrical connectors.

Abstract: An air handler mounted on the wall of a confinement building for poultry and livestock to control the amount and direction of makeup air. A curved baffle is mounted on an open bearing within an opening in the building wall. Pivotal and rocking motion of the baffle directs air to all parts of the building including the side wall supporting the air handler.

Abstract: An anti-hijacking and anti-theft vehicle security protection system is designed to permit, in the anti-hijacker function, the hijacker to drive off with the vehicle but within about two minutes the engine will be partially disabled to permit maneuvering the vehicle out of traffic to the side of the road. A few minutes later, the engine will be totally disabled and signalling devices can be activated. The system employs two overlapped timers under control of a sensor relay. A reset button under control of an authorized user can deenergize the sensor relay to return the system to normal. Also included within the design is anti-theft protection for an unattended vehicle which can be selected to function in any one of 3 conditions, one condition being the anti-hijacking function. In the second condition, operation of the vehicle is first partially disabled and then completely shut off. In the third condition, the vehicle cannot be started, and hazard lights and alarm are activated.

Abstract: A ready-made fabric sack with an elastic string around the periphery of the sack opening to be placed over a transfer cylinder in a printing press. When placed over the transfer cylinder, the inherent resiliency of the fabric and string causes the sack to envelop the cylinder to provide a resilient fabric surface which prevents smearing and streaking of wet printed sheets.

Abstract: A soft mat for placement on the bottom of a file cabinet drawer to maintain the stored files in an orderly upright position. The upper surface of the mat is provided with a series of spaced, parallel ridges defining grooves which receive edge portions of the files.

Abstract: An on-site refrigerant reclamation system connectable to an operating refrigeration or air conditioning installation periodically removes small batches of the contaminated refrigerant to separate out the contaminants. A storage tank provided with an electric heater receives the contaminated refrigerant and through a distillation process drives off the refrigerant in a pure state and returns it to the installation. A control system is provided to enable automatic operation.
