Abstract: The present invention provides a pre-packaged kit and a method for creating unique multi-toned custom patterns or camouflage on a surface, and in particular the surfaces of a firearm. The multi-toned custom patterns or camouflage are created by separating or peeling off pre-cut stencil/templates from sheet or roll stock adhesive backed masking material and applying the stencil/templates to a surface. The surface is subsequently sprayed with coatings, finishers and sealants. Additional layers of stencil/templates are then added and sprayed with various colors or tones of coatings, finishers and sealants to complete the desired effect on the firearm surface.

Abstract: A drain valve assembly having a stem which can be inserted into a crankcase or other fluid reservoir, wherein the stem is connected to a housing which encloses a sealing barrel movably secured and sealed in the connected stem and housing, and wherein the sealing barrel can be manipulated in a single direction from the exterior of the assembly to open or close a fluid passage through the assembly. An end cap may also be provided tethered to the housing for sealing off the fluid passage. Selected movement of the sealing barrel in the connected stem and housing may also be used to control the volume and flow of fluid through the fluid passage.

Abstract: A set trigger assembly that enables a user of a firearm with a trigger, return spring plunger, and a return spring plunger spring to modify the trigger mechanism on-demand to reduce the trigger pressure required to fire the firearm by enabling the user to retract the return spring plunger and then return the return spring plunger to its initial position by insertion of a lever which is used to apply force to a return spring plunger so as to force the return spring plunger away from the trigger.

Abstract: This invention provides a cable guide (10) capable for securely routing a plurality of cables (C), such as fiber optic cables (C). The cable guide has at least two fastening units (12), an optional guide unit (14), and a flexible connector (16) for providing a spaced apart connection for the units, and the space (17) may be utilized for exiting one or more cables (C) from a bundle of cables restrained by the cable guide (10). The invention also includes supports or standoffs and joinder clips for securing and routing cable guides on a chassis, printed circuit board or other surface, as desired.

Abstract: A walking stabilizer equipped to combat the effects of akinesia paradoxica by employing a novel method and device to regulate and actuate a projection instrument which generates a pattern perpendicular to the user's direction of travel. The regulating and actuating device comprises a two pole series switch circuit configuration in tandem with the walking stabilizer's novel dual action braking mechanism. The projection device is only operable when the user concurrently selects its use and when the walker stabilizer is free for movement or in contact with the patient.

Abstract: The present invention provides an exhaust chamber system, comprising a stationary propeller type blade assembly with a nose cone within or adjacent to an expansion chamber, to create a vortex that swirls exhaust gas towards the outlet. The resultant vacuum within the exhaust chamber aids in scavenging an internal combustion engines exhaust gases, and in reducing system back pressure The exhaust chamber maintains the sound level of the exhaust within acceptable limits, while delivering improved horsepower, torque, and/or fuel efficiency over standard and other performance mufflers.

Abstract: A breast prosthesis fabricated from silicone and characterized by an outer shell shaped region and an inner shall-shaped region wherein the inner region is profiled in the form of rings arranged concentrically around the mamilla. The rings may be formed bellows-like adapted to be pushed toward one another when pressure is exerted on the prosthesis. Annularly shaped recesses and beads may be arranged between the rings. The inner region may consist of lower density silicone gel having a firmness of lower penetration value but firmer than the outer region. Preferably, the outer region is slightly thicker above the manilla than below the manilla, and may have a third shell shaped region arranged between the outer and inner shell shaped regions. A recess can be provided in the lower part of the prosthesis to define an air cushion for permitting silent release of air from the prosthesis responsive to pressure applied against the prosthesis.

Abstract: A clamp for securing a printed circuit board on a cathode ray tube, in which the clamp has a split ring with overlapping jaws and teeth on each end of the jaws, wherein the jaws and teeth are adapted to engage and hold the clamp on the cathode ray tube, and wherein the clamp has an stand-off which is adapted for removably securing a printed circuit board on but spaced apart from the cathode ray tube. The split ring may be connected to but independent from the standoff so that movement of the clamp will not affect the position of the stand-off.

Abstract: The present invention provides a needle guard comprising a base having a needle well to guide the point of a needle into the patient and, at the same time, for confining the pointed end of a needle within the walls of the needle well until the needle is inserted into a patient. The base is connected by at least a connector to a handle. The connector is constructed to allow the needle to be pushed beyond the needle well thereby exposing the needle. The connector also limits the extent to which the needle can be retracted. This prevents the needle from being pulled past the needle well as the needle is extracted from the patient. As a consequence of the construction, the point of the needle is substantially maintained within the needle well, except when the needle is inserted into the patient.

Abstract: This label has a printing head (1) which may be stationary or mob vale along a guide (2), a ribbon (3) bearing a printing medium, a ribbon pay-out spool (4), a ribbon tale-up spool (5) driven by a stepper motor (6), a control device (8) that governs the printing head (1), and a means for controlling the advance of the ribbon, (3). Said means for controlling the advance of the ribbon (3) comprises a device (7) for detecting the spin of the pay-out spool (4) and sending a signal to the control device (8) that reports on the spinning of the pay-out spool (4) when the stepper motor (6) makes the take-up spool (5) spin at a certain rate. The invention also includes a method for using this label printer for multiple label printing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heater for an electric central buffer coupling in which at least one heating element (3) is placed in a recess of the coupling head (1) and is covered toward the outside.
