Abstract: A boat that can be rowed, sailed and motor driven, and has a pair of parallel elongated pontoons and a normally above-water boxlike structure which serves to connect the pontoons, to provide a cockpit for the crew, and to provide a third hull for supplemental flotation when needed. A pair of parallel structural panels form opposite sidewalls of the cockpit and each extends down through the middle of the adjacent pontoon to its keel. The cockpit deck structure connects the panels and covers the part of each pontoon between the panels. The part of each pontoon on the other side of the adjacent panel forms a ledge along the outer side of the boat which is helpful in climbing out of the water into the boat.

Abstract: A dog harness having two straps down opposite sides of the dog is modified to add reachably attachable and detachable supply carrying means by use of hook and loop connections between the straps and a pair of sheets mounting pouches for carrying supplies. An additional sheet mounting additional pouches extends over the back of the dog behind the harness and is detachable attached by hooks and loops between the rear strap and a margin of the additional sheet where the rear strap overlaps said rear margin.

Abstract: An exhaust fan draws air and entrained tobacco through delivery pipes from a tobacco feeder to the respective dischargers of a group of cigarette making machines, where the tobacco is screened out and the air passes on through exhaust pipes. When a discharger is to release tobacco to its making machine the feeder stops delivery of tobacco to that discharger and, after a delay to clear the delivery pipe, a valve bypasses the air around the discharger so that a constant air flow is maintained. The feeder supplies tobacco in a separate and independently controlled stream to each discharger, and has oscillating vanes to separate and keep the tobacco moving.

Abstract: Compression molding of elastomer to form an annular sealing lip bonded to a sintered polytetrafluoroethylene line over the lip, and to bond the elastomer to an annular metal case for the seal. The mold elements, anchoring the inner margin of the liner preform during molding, slide against each other for concentric alignment, bend the metal case to control back pressure on the elastomer being applied to the liner, and form a thin annular link of elastomer between the seal formed in the mold and the excess elastomer to be trimmed from the seal.

Abstract: A floating chair moves forward, turn or drifts under control of a pair of on/off switches connecting a rechargable battery to power a pair of sump pumps which jet water from the rear of a pair of elongated floats supporting the chair. The battery is in a float which is behind the chair and extends between the elongated floats. A buoyant roller beneath the floats enable the unit to roll on dry land.

Abstract: Golf tee having successive contrasting color stripes around most of its length to help a golfer to determine at a glance how many of the stripes are exposed above the ground in which the tee is set, and thereby determine the height of a golf ball on the tee above the ground. The stripes are arranged in repeated sequences of two or more different colors in each sequence.

Abstract: Engine energized by an external heat source and cooled by an external cooling source, driven by a closed body of gas contained in chambers of variable volume and passages connected thereto, and operating on a Carnot cycle. The apparatus of the engine also has heat pump capabilities.

Abstract: Apparatus for operating needle to inoculate the web of a bird's wing. An arm rocks a needle holder back and forth between a serum container and web positioner, along a path which causes the needle holder to move substantially vertically into and out of the container and web positioner. Gears cause the needle holder to pivot on the arm in response to pivotal movement of the arm, so that the needle points downwardly throughout its movement.

Abstract: Protection of rechargeable battery in power system by placing it in insulated chamber under temperature control of thermoelectric devices operated by the power system to pump heat out of the chamber or by the battery to pump heat into the chamber.

Abstract: Bird's neck vaccine injector has fixed tubular guard around an injection needle. The guard is adapted to have a bird's neck pulled against it by pulling loose skin from the neck, and to have the pulled skin drawn over the projecting end of the guard and pressed against the guard so that the needle may be advanced to pierce the skin next to the projecting end of the guard and then inject vaccine into the cavity resulting from pull on the skin.

Abstract: Generating centrifugal action by forcing a stream of petroleum fuel admixed with water along a fixed spiral path, separating the inner and outer portions of the stream, settling out the water in the outer portion, and recombining the two portions less the settled out water. This is particularly useful in a fuel line from which most of the fuel is continually recirculated to the fuel tank.

Abstract: Apparatus having spaced rollers in a frame, and a handle on the frame for drawing the frame laterally across a grid covering a bed of hot coals. Lateral movement along the grid causes the rollers to rotate and thereby counter rotate hot dogs on the rollers while the heat from the coals passes between the rollers to grill the hot dogs.

Abstract: A recreation vehicle cabinet has a table leaf extensible across the center aisle and a pair of seats swingable about the front corner posts of the cabinet into and out of the cabinet interior.

Abstract: Cold rolling metal strip with a rolling lubricant of petroleum solvent mixed with polyalkylene glycol. Where a sump collects said rolling lubricant after use for reuse in such rolling, also using mixtures of such components to lubricate parts of the rolling mill where leakage of the parts lubricants could be collected in the sump.

Abstract: The expression of characters in Chinese, Japanese or Korean languages in a directly readable code suitable for input through a small keyboard into an information processor. Output is in the input code or the equivalent conventional ideographic characters. The code uses arrangements of pronunciation signs and determinative signs in an order derived from the conventional stroke orders of the respective characters. The determinative signs are derived from a selected group of conventional radicals and are used to differentiate among homonymic characters.

Abstract: Spaced overlapping louver panels on a vibratory horizontal deck levitate and convey particles moving across the deck as they are dried or otherwise treated by gas blown between the panels. The panels have flanges where they overlap, and flat central areas sloping upwardly in the direction of particle flow. Multiple superimposed decks can be used with the particles on them moving horizontally in alternating directions.

Abstract: Worn rubber-like coating around a printing roll or the like is resurfaced by bringing a regrinder with spaced abrasive belts to the place where the roll operates, and operating the belts to regrind the roll as it is rotated by its operating drive. The regrinder moves along a rail parallel to the roll axis during regrinding, and has mechanism to move the belts into position to begin grinding.
