Abstract: “The present invention is a method and apparatus that allows individual competing, as well as complementing suppliers, vendors, service providers, purveyors, and other types of sellers as companies, individuals, or as any other entity, controlled design and publication of print media advertising and outreach. The present invention allows for standards or guidelines to be set by print media and then automatically applied in the creation of advertising or outreach presentations.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus that allows competing as well as complementing suppliers, vendors, service providers, purveyors, and other types of sellers internal inventory management as well as controlled design and publication of presentations for external near real-time interactive access to buyer-centered presentation, sales, distribution, and confirmation systems as well as other traditional media advertising and outreach. The Automated Media Presentation Generator including a Publication and Placement Control Engine, integrates a Distributed Sales and Inventory Control structure with Processing and Communications Resource Saver, and further provides a Reservation, Access, and Verification System replacing traditional ticket and confirmation methods.

Abstract: A supply canister is partially filled with a refrigerant circuit additive fluid which is partially evacuated, said refrigerant circuit additive fluid is comprised of a combination of a binding azeotrope of methanol and cyclohexanone with a drying agent, a metal sealant and a rubber rejuvinating compound in a single container. Additive fluids from the canister may be placed into the refrigerant circuit of an air conditioning system by (1) connecting the canister to the circuit after it has been emptied and vacuum pressure created therein, (2) connecting the canister to the refrigerant circuit suction line during system operation, or (3) connecting the canister to the suction line with the system off, to thereby force refrigerant from the circuit into the canister, and then starting the system to cause the vacuum pressure in the suction line to draw the contents of the canister into the refrigerant circuit.

Abstract: The invention presents a method for conditioning and texturing of lapping plate surfaces used in high precision lapping, the conditioning and texturing is achieved without the use of free abrasive particles and slurries through use of a conditioning ring having a hard bound abrasive particle layer. The conditioning ring is contacted with the lapping plate surface, both rotating in the same direction but at different RPMs resulting in grooved microprofiles of the lapping plate surface. The invention provides a lapping process using the conditioned and textured lapping plate surface along with free abrasive particles carried in the grooves in combination with glycols and citrates for ABS generation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a readily disposable hazardous chemical and medical waste protection wear suitable for human use through utilization of a breathable, stand alone or combination laminant utilizing polyvinyl alcohol sheet material which is water soluble at various temperatures providing disposal of the stand alone or outer coating of a laminate material if utilized with reusable protection wear. The polyvinyl alcohol stand alone provides the wearer with comfort through having a MVTR rate of at least 450 grams/meter squared per 24 hours. In addition, a combination of polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylidene chloride provides a readily disposable splash suit which is most suitable for a variety of chemicals while yet being readily disposable ie. the PVA being readily soluble in warm water and the PVDC being dispensable in water and being biodegradable.

Abstract: A pumping unit apparatus is provided for operating a well pump having sucker rod drive which is reciprocated from an uppermost position to a lowermost position, the apparatus having a base, a support structure mounted on the base, a member mounted on the support structure for pivotal movement about an axis and means connected to the member for pivoting said member between the two positions. Belting and pulley combinations mounted on the member and connected to the sucker rod provides rod string positioning to the rod string uppermost position when the member is on one position and a lower position when the member is in another position; a counterweight mounted on the member for movement with said member is provided wherein the counterweight is positioned relative to the axis so that the force of gravity acting on the counterweight applies a greater torque to the member when the rod string is in its uppermost position than is applied when the rod string is in its lowermost position.

Abstract: A breathable non-woven fabric having barrier capabilities to biological liquids comprised of at least one non-woven layer bonded to at least one surface of a thermoplastic microporous film, the non-woven composite fabric providing a barrier to passage: (a) of biological liquid when the composite fabric is subjected to contact with synthetic blood under the dictates of testing procedure ASTM ES21-92; and (b) to viral penetration when the composite fabric is subject to contact with .phi.X174 bacteriophage suspension at a titer of 10.sup.3 PFU/mL for 5 minutes with no applied pressure, 1 minute at 13.8 kPa (2.0 PSIG), and 54 minutes with no applied pressure while maintaining a moisture of vapor transmission rate of greater than about 450 grams per square meter for 24 hours at about 75.degree. F.

Abstract: A method for enhancing the growth of plants and fruits produced by such plants through contacting the plants during growth periods with effective amounts of vanadyl compositions. These methods include composition's application rates, time of application and other plant conditions such as stress, moisture levels and other growth variables in order to achieve enhanced fruit yields.
