Abstract: A video amusement game terminal for a gaming system for playing a game providing the illusion of skill. A game processor provides a video game presentation in response to player control wherein a prize award is disclosed through presentation of achievement by the player of a designated objective. The presentation provides to the player the illusion that the prize award is determined by player skill in achievement of the designated objective.

Abstract: A frameless goggle construction including an elongated lens structure having opposed ends formed of a generally planar, semi-rigid, transparent sheet of plastic deformed about its minor dimension to be configured as a simple curve with convex and concave sides. The sheet rigidity is such that the lens structure may flex to move the ends closer to or further from each other and the periphery of the concave side mounts a layer of soft resilient cushioning material of substantial thickness adapted for cushioned contact with and conformance to the face of a wearer of a goggle. An elongated strap is connected to the ends of the lens structure to secure the goggle to the head of the wearer and to provide a face conforming force to the lens. The lens structure is antifogging and formed of a non-rigid spacer sandwiched between inner and outer lenses with air flow passages formed in the spacer and inner lens.

Abstract: An electrical cable assembly includes a plurality of spaced strip conductors within a supporting body of dielectric material with a contact element for each conductor, all of which are supported in a single housing. Each contact element includes a penetrating end having a plurality of tangs for piercing the dielectric material and a contact mating end, which includes a tubular body having a plurality of deflectable fingers that have free ends adjacent the penetrating end of the contact element.

Abstract: Aqueous compositions for the wetting and rewetting of contact lenses and especially silicone, silicone copolymer (gas-permeable) and soft contact lenses are provided that include a preservative system. The preservative system includes trimethoprim, and benzyl alcohol as an adjuvant bactericide and optionally a salt of EDTA. The use of preservatives which are known to cause eye irritation and lens discoloration such as thimerosal, sorbic acid, potassium chloride and chlorhexidine is eliminated. Wetting and re-wetting compositions which incorporate the preservative system and include thickening and wetting agents are also provided. The wetting and re-wetting solutions can be instilled directly into the eye during contact lens wearing periods and are especially useful for wetting silicone, silicone copolymer and soft daily and extended wear contact lenses.

Abstract: Aqueous compositions for the ambient temperature or cold disinfection of soft contact lenses during non-wearing periods is provided. The composition includes water and a disinfectant composition comprising an effective amount of trimethoprim for killing bacteria, usually between about 0.05% and 4.0% by weight of the total aqueous composition and an effective amount of benzyl alcohol as agent to and adjuvant bactericide, usually between about 0.50% and 5.0% by weight of the total composition and optionally a salt of EDTA. A method is provided for treating the lenses to kill bacteria associated with the lenses.

Abstract: A tool for forming a folded pastry from rolled-out dough. The pastry tool includes a frame having an edge for cutting the dough, the cutting edge being formed in the shape of the peripheral outline of a pair of circles intersecting at two points. The two points of intersection define a line along which the dough, cut out by the tool, may be folded. Further, one of the circular sections of the frame is made larger than the other of the circular sections to allow that portion of the dough formed by the larger of the circular frame sections to overlap the smaller circular section of dough while accommodating a filling therebetween. The pastry tool also includes a sealing flange extending inwardly from said frame a distance above the cutting edge to simultaneously seal and trim two layers of dough.

Abstract: Preservative systems which may be incorporated into aqueous compositions for the daily cleaning of silicone copolymer (gas-permeable) and soft contact lenses are provided. The preservative system may comprise solely trimethoprim. Adjuvant bactericides may also be present, such as a salt of EDTA, sorbic acid, ascorbic acid or benzyl alcohol. One suitable cleaning composition which incorporates the preservative system includes three types of detergents. The cleaning composition is effective in removing both proteins and lipids and calcium from the surfaces of soft contact lenses and aids in preventing deposits from forming and binding to the lenses.

Abstract: An automatic application program generator capable of being used with microcomputers having relatively small memory storage capacities. The novel features of the automatic program generator of the present invention relate to its ability to (1) create application programs quickly and efficiently; (2) operate directly from information formatted onto the display screen of the computer; (3) build its own internal machine language or syntax from the information formatted onto the screen; and (4) operate without program language or syntax input from the operator.

Abstract: Imaging films and film-forming compositions are provided which include a reducible tellurium compound, a reductant precursor, a source of labile hydrogen incorporated in a matrix. The reductant precursors are of the formulae ##STR1## where Y.sub.1 is alkoxy, Y.sub.2 is chloro or alkoxy and Y.sub.3 is hydrogen, chloro or alkoxy.Methods are provided for synthesizing the reductant precursors.

Abstract: Preservative systems which may be incorporated into aqueous compositions for the wetting and re-wetting of contact lenses and especially silicone copolymer (gas-permeable) and soft contact lenses are provided. The perservative system includes trimethoprim, a salt of EDTA and sorbic acid or ascorbic acid as adjuvant bactericides. The use of preservatives which are known to cause eye irritation, such as thimerosal, benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine is eliminated. Wetting and re-wetting compositions which incorporate the preservative system and include thickening and wetting agents are also provided. The wetting and rewetting solutions can be instilled directly into the eye during contact lens wearing periods and are especially useful for wetting silicone copolymer contact lenses. A method of wetting silicone copolymer lenses is also provided.

Abstract: Preservative systems which may be incorporated into aqueous compositions for the daily cleaning of silicone copolymer (gas-permeable) and soft contact lenses are provided. The preservative system includes trimethoprim, a salt of EDTA and an adjuvant bactericide that is either sorbic acid or ascorbic acid. One suitable cleaning composition which incorporates the preservative system includes three types of detergents. The cleaning composition is effective in removing both proteins and lipids from the surfaces of soft contact lenses and aids in preventing deposits from forming and binding to the lenses.

Abstract: Used oil is rerefined utilizing borohydride reducing agents. The borohydride reducing agent contacts the used oil in an aqueous solution, for example. Contact with the borohydride reducing agent may occur before, during or after distillation or evaporation of the used oil. The disclosed method reduces the concentration of carbonyl compounds and metals and reduces the corrosion characteristics of used oil.

Abstract: A compactor particularly for junk vehicles, has a flatbed supporting a pair of opposed, hinged compaction doors. Each door has a linkage hydraulically operated to open and close the door for compaction of the vehicle against the flatbed. A winch disposed on the front of the compactor has its tow line extending beneath the doors and connects to the end of the vehicle opposite the flatbed to progressively advance the vehicle over the flatbed for compaction by the doors. A sequence control circuit is also provided which automatically opens and closes the compactor doors and automatically operates the winch to sequentially advance segments of the vehicle into the compactor. Additionally, the compactor can easily be made portable facilitating its transportation from one location to another.
