Abstract: A hydraulic capstan to pull electric or communication wire through conduit or open trenches over long distances from a stationary position. The capstan is powered by a hydraulic motor. An operator can activate the motor from inside the cab of a vehicle to turn the capstan. The rope attached to the wire is wrapped around the capstan. When the rope is pulled tight on the turning capstan, the rope comes on one side and off the other side, pulling the wire load.

Abstract: A fabricated tape assembly for bonding of steel locating hinge washers to a hinge assembly to facilitate doors-off/door-on processing through an automotive trim shop. The adhesive bonding system cures during the cathodic electro-cost primer bake cycle. The adhesive maintains an intimate, positive contact with both metal surfaces ensuring adequate bonding performance and maximized bonding surface area during a defined heat or bake cycle.

Abstract: A wire straightening and cut-off process and machine which feeds, straightens, and cuts wire, and which uses a servomotor in dual mode. In a continuous mode, short wire parts are cut at a high cut-off rate. In an intermittent mode, long wire parts are cut wherein each cut is triggered by a signal.

Abstract: A game skinner device having a winch and a roller deposed at opposite ends of a main support. The main support is adjustably secured to the hitch of a vehicle. The game skinner device does not support the weight of the game.

Abstract: A washable window shade having a support mechanism similar to that used on mini-blinds which may use a single drawstring which proceeds down through the middle of the shade and goes through the middle of the bottom flat member. The shade includes a plurality of horizontal stiffening members.

Abstract: Disclosed is a speaker with a built-in direct current motor for selectively generating sound and vibration, which includes: a speaker part, a direct current motor part, and a frame. The speaker part has a yoke having a hole formed at the center thereof, a first ring-shaped magnet mounted on the top surface of the peripheral portion of the yoke, a ring-shaped upper plate mounted on the top surface of the first magnet, a vibration plate fixedly mounted to the top surface of the upper plate at the circumferential end thereof, and a generally cylindrical voice coil attached to the bottom surface of the vibration plate.

Abstract: A positive lock-out adapter device which is interposed between the shifter of a vehicle and the transmission housing. The device positively prevents shifting into 5th gear and reverse.

Abstract: In a multiple phase system for supplying power from an AC source to nonlinear loads, a device for substantially eliminating currents in a neutral wire. The device includes a completely-passive parallel resonant circuit having three passive electrical branches connected in parallel tuned to a third harmonic frequency of the AC source. The three branches comprise a first branch consisting of a capacitor, a second branch consisting of a reactor, and a third branch consisting of a resistor. The resonant circuit is connected to the neutral wire.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of piston machines, mainly those that include a mechanism without any connecting rod for converting the reciprocating movement of the pistons into a rotating movement of the output shaft. This invention essentially relates to a piston machine that includes a mechanism without any connecting rod and that comprises the following members: a body (1) with a plurality of cylinders (2); a plurality of pistons (5) with piston rods (6); sliding members (13) formed on the rods (6); a plurality of guides for the sliding members (13), each connected to the body (1) and capable of displacing the corresponding sliding member (13) along the axis of the corresponding cylinder (2); two coaxial cranked shafts (7) mounted in the body (1); and a crankshaft (10) mounted between the cranked shafts (7) and having its main journals (11) connected to said cranked shafts (7) while the rod journals (12) are connected to the corresponding piston rods (6).

Abstract: A method of using microwave-induced dielectric polarization to enhance the diffusivity of a liquid or a supercritical fluid mobile phase in chromatography, while having essentially no effect on other physical properties of the mobile phase.

Abstract: A method for determining illness, progression to death, and timing of death of a biological entity, in which whole body measurements of electrical impedance and composition of the biological entity are taken and recorded at predetermined intervals of time for providing initially measured values and serially measured values, and then the initially measured values are compared to normal values and to the serially measured values to determine hallmarks or characteristics of illness, progression to death and timing to death of the biological entity.

Abstract: Indoor/outdoor casual furniture are made from solid-state components all fabricated from a single sheet of polymer material. The furniture can be safely placed outdoors without risk of rot, mildew, or weathering. The method allows for interchangeable bench and chair backs.

Abstract: A paper binding fastener having two members which are secured together with ratchet-like catch teeth and which can be released by a component carried on one of the fastener members. The invention preferably provides a male member and a female member each having catch members which are moveable radially so as to engage and disengage the catch members and with at least one of the male and female members carrying an axially displaceable member which when axially moved as manipulated by a user urges the catch members radially to release the catch members from engagement and thus permit separation of the male and female members.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cosmetic article having an improved dispensing structure, which compactly combines liquid cosmetic product with an applicator used for applying the liquid cosmetic product.

Abstract: Apparatus for removing excessive heat which has built up in a garage, including vents, movable louvers connected to each vent, exhaust fans, and a fan motor. The fan motor may be controlled by a manually-operated switch or a thermostat.
