Abstract: A method for attaching plastic nets to non-woven blankets without use of adhesives is disclosed. The net is positioned adjacent the non-woven blanket and then the strands of the netting are vibrated causing surface fibers of the blanket to surround the strands and hold the net to the blanket without the use of adhesives.

Abstract: A control system for adjusting the pressure applied to fluid-controlled brake actuating mechanisms in response to predetermined variations in wheel speed and rate of change of wheel speed brought about by the application of fluid pressure to the wheel brake actuating mechanisms. Signals proportional to the angular velocity and rate of change of angular velocity of a selected wheel are employed to control the sequence and duration of the energization and de-energization of the solenoid valves in a modulator valve assembly. The incremental decrease in wheel velocity from the time said deceleration threshold is reached, at which time a gradual adjustment of brake line fluid pressure is effected, is monitored to determine when a continuously-variable reference increment of wheel speed .DELTA. v has been exceeded, at which time a sharp reduction in brake line fluid pressure is effected. This continuously-variable reference increment .DELTA.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for treating industrial waste water wherein suspended material and cyanides which are ordinarily dissolved in the water are treated simultaneously to reduce the time of treatment and provide a more economical and effective treatment.

Abstract: A lamp assembly including a connector enabling mounting of the lamp assembly in an aperture in a wall by insertion from either side without the use of tools. The connector defines a cavity for receiving the lamp, and is tapered in both directions from a transverse annular mounting groove. The connector is also split or slotted longitudinally to enable radial compression during insertion into an aperture. Lamp leads are mechanically and electrically connected to connecting pins or to insulated wires by being press-fitted in crimped splices which are interference-fitted into portions of the connector cavity.

Abstract: An atomiser having a tapered pump chamber in which a valved lipped piston is slidably mounted, the piston being compressed radially inwardly by the tapered pump chamber to ensure a tight seal between the valve and its valve seat.

Abstract: Fibrous web structures in which the individual fibers are uniformly felted in random orientation are produced by projecting a stream of solids suspended in air toward a moving porous collection surface. The fibers are maintained in a controlled condition uniformly dispersed in air during transit from the nozzle to the porous collecting surface and before the stream of air has spread to the point of disrupting the uniform fiber dispersion, the fibers are felted and collected on the porous support while air is continuously passed through the support to insure no gravity free fall of fibers. Liquid or dry adhesive binders may be incorporated into the structure at any convenient stage of the process but preferably before the web structure is formed on the moving support.

Abstract: A method and means for inserting pins into predetermined locations of a printed circuit; said means are carried along by an adhesive strip and after removal of the latter, the foremost pin drops into horizontal registry with a pusher member urging it into vertical registry with a funnel-shaped member brought over the desired location of the circuit while a pneumatic circuit operating for each pin insertion drives said foremost pin through the funnel-shaped member into said location.

Abstract: A coil is encapsulated in a symbol formed of cast epoxy for display on the exterior of an automobile. The coil is connected to and forms part of a security system which is actuated by the inductive coupling of a keying circuit to the encapsulated coil. Two threaded metal rods are partially embedded in the epoxy symbol to enable mounting on the exterior of an automobile.

Abstract: Golf clubs are provided with polyurethane inserts on the striking face. These golf clubs have been found to have advantage over standard golf clubs in that a golf ball hit with these clubs travels a greater distance, all other conditions being equal.

Abstract: A computerized control system for receiving information concerning the operating parameters in an electrical furnace, and for controlling the feeding of corrective and additive charge to the furnace, for controlling the position of the electrodes, and for controlling the power consumed by the furnace. The system includes a discharge hopper for the selective discharge of solid materials to electric smelting furnaces. The hopper comprises a transit part and a reservoir part. Because of its physical construction, the transit part will empty before the reservoir part, but when the transit part is empty the contents of the reservoir part will follow automatically.

Abstract: The combustion by-products in the effluvium of an internal combustion engine are treated in a magnetic field to remove electrons from the atoms of the combustion by-products which may thereafter be removed from the effluvium preferably by means carried within the confines of a second magnetic field. In the preferred embodiment, the combustion by-products are mixed to enhance commingling of the by-products of combustion prior to treatment in the magnetic field.

Abstract: An improved chart carrier for a recorder permitting use with a take-up spool for relatively long periods of time, and without the take-up spool for shorter periods of time, a cylindrical enclosure being employed for rolling and enclosedly retaining the used portion of the chart in a predetermined portion of the chart carrier.

Abstract: Circuitry operative to monitor input signals indicative of seat occupancy and seat belt usage from each of four different stations with a single, multiplexed detection circuit coupled through gating circuits to four antennae, each of which is associated with a particular station. A seat belt monitor circuit receives signals indicating seat belt usage produced by a seat belt switch associated with a particular station. Another monitor circuit receives the output of the detection circuit indicating seat occupancy and the output of the seat belt monitoring circuit indicating seat belt usage and processes this information to provide a warning control signal in response to either (1) one or more signals indicating only seat occupancy or only seat belt usage, or (2) unrelated signals indicating seat occupancy and seat belt usage, or (3) related signals indicating seat occupancy and seat belt usage but occuring in an improper sequence.

Abstract: An improved blower blade for electric motors is disclosed. The blower blade comprises from about 50 to about 75% polypropylene, from about 5 to about 10% glass fibers and from about 15 to about 45% inert filler.

Abstract: Packaging in the form of a carrier for holding and carrying a plurality of containers such as cans, bottles, jars and the like is disclosed. The carrier comprises at least one packaging band which completely encloses a plurality of containers arranged in at least one row while incompletely enclosing the periphery of any individual container. At least one carrying band is associated with the at least one packaging band to provide means for grasping and lifting the container package. Several combinations of enclosed rows, each containing a plurality of containers, are disclosed along with appropriate carrying bands.
