Abstract: A digital remote pyrotactic firing unit for the controlled selection and ignition of a pyrotactic device. An operator manually selects a specific output channel, which generates a Binary Code Decimal signal. The binary code decimal signal is received by a remote ignition circuit unit that is connected to the pyrotactic device and generates an ignition signal from being energized by an enabling firing circuit.

Abstract: A laceless shoe fastener adapted for usage with a conventional shoe having eyelets utilizing the first and second closure flaps. Securing straps extend from each of the closure flaps and pass through eyelets. The fastener fabric of the hook and pile type cover the bottom of the first flap and top of the second flap and the securing straps to securely hold the first and second closure flaps and securing straps together when engaging together.

Abstract: A method for use and application comprising a power denture washer having a washing container for housing the denture with a removable sealable lid. Disposed within the lid is a denture cleaner storage compartment with a removable sealable top cover. Disposed in the bottom of the washing container is a drain. The methodology includes placement of the denture within the container, rinsing under flowing water, adding the denture cleanser matter, inverting and filling with water and letting the denture soak and inverting the washing container to drain the liquid out and rinsing the denture under a stream of water.

Abstract: In association with a conventional truck box, trailer or enclosure having a rear door communicating with the sides, top and bottom of the enclosure, a hollow holding sleeve is secured to the inside of the door with a securing plate fastened to one side of the enclosure and a locking plate to the other side. The plates include apertures which are aligned with the hollow holding sleeve and the locking plate communicates with the exterior of the enclosure. A locking bar extends through the aperture of the locking plate and the hollow holding sleeve and into the aperture of the securing plate. A locking device is mounted onto the locking plate to securely hold the locking bar in place. When the locking bar is in place, movement of the door is prohibited and the door can not be opened.

Abstract: A mobile livestock intensive care unit for providing intensive medical care to animals. The Unit provides administration of controlled temperature intravenous and subcutaneous fluids and medicines with external heat to the animal and the monitoring of specific bodily functions. The unit includes a restraining area for housing the animal with folding sides to permit access to the animal. The front of the unit is supported by two wheels with the rear being supported by two legs. Handles extend above the legs to permit the rear of the unit to be lifted and moved about on wheels to a desired location. A control cabinet is positioned above the restraining area and includes a temperature controlled fluid/medication chamber for the storing and administration of temperture controlled fluids and medications. A control chamber, adjacent the fluid/medication chamber, controls and monitors the operation of the unit and houses necessary bodily functioning monitoring equipment.

Abstract: In association with a subsurface drainage/irrigation tile system, a head control stand is provided to selectively control the flow of water through a drainage/irrigation tile system and in turn control the depth of the water table. An actuating unit which includes a water level sensor floating on the surface of the water table is disposed within a riser pipe which extends upward from a subsurface drainage tile. A valve disposed within the drainage tile is connected to the water level sensor and opens upon the sensor raising in response to a raising in the water table which allows water to flow through the valve and subsequently closes the valve upon lowering of the water table.

Abstract: An insulating window system is provided wherein a window track is secured on a frame outlining the window. The window track includes a pair of spaced jaws defining between them a channel with a semi-oval cross-section. A glazing frame having a base member with two outwardly extending arms for engaging the inside surface of the jaws, and securing the frame arm to the track. An insulating strip extends between the arms and fills the space not occupied by the arms when they engage the jaws within the channel. The glazing frame includes a pane holder which includes the base section of the jaws and a face section overlaying the back and connected thereto by an end section, all forming a glazing channel into which the glazing pane sets.

Abstract: A tiltable supporting wheel chair having a tilting mechanism with front support wheels which pivot downward and outward engaging the floor and raising the front of the wheelchair and tilting it backwards. The tilting mechanism further includes a cross-frame pivotably attached to the frame of the wheelchair and activated by movement of an arm attached to it. The arm is controlled by a rod leading to a pivotal plate which is connected to a lever on the side of the wheelchair by a linkage. Upon movement of the lever, the linkage rotates the plate, moving the arm and cross-frame to extend or retract the front wheels. A locking mechanism prevents accidental movement of the level. Rear supports extend behind the wheelchair and engage the floor upon the front wheels being pivoted to their furthest point forward.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for the absorbtion and effective minimization of shockwaves and increased pressures occurring in and flowing backward from the combustion chamber in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine. A pair of plates are disposed about the intake manifold include a partial tear-drop shaped circumferential chamber disposed therein communicating with the manifold into which flows the shockwaves and regions of the high pressure air-fuel mixture.
