Abstract: The present invention relates to antistatic polymers containing a mixture of a thermoplastic resin and about 8-20% by weight of conductive partially carbonized chopped linear carbonaceous fibers. The chopped carbonaceous fibers have a carbon content of about 70-85% by weight and an electrical resistivity of about 10.sup.-2-10.sup.3 ohm-cm. The composite has a surface resistivity of about 10.sup.4 -10.sup.10 ohms/square. These intermediate surface resistivities make the composite an excellent choice for use with plastic parts that come into direct contact with electronic components and circuitry.

The method preferably utilized a biomarker which is the polyclonal antibodies of a peptide representing amino acids 28 to 43 of the 5.alpha.-reductase type 2 isozyme.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a textile structure and method of making thereof which is useful for fire blocking a structure and insulating it from sound and heat. The textile structure includes at least one composite having three layers which are placed upon one another to form top, middle and bottom layers. The middle layer is a densified matt or batting having at least 10% by weight of carbonaceous fibers. The top and bottom layers are less densified matts or battings which have at least 10% by weight of carbonaceous fibers. Multiple composites may be secured together for increased protection against fire, sound and heat.

Abstract: A device for cleaning the wiper blades of a vehicle windscreen wiper, wherein the device has the form of a self-adhesive flat foil strip which is intended to be affixed to the outside of the windscreen of the vehicle in the region of the path swept out by the wiper blade. The side of the strip which faces outwardly when the strip is affixed to the windscreen presents at least two smooth, sharp-edged rectangular ribs of rectangular cross-section which extend continuously along the full length of the strip and which are spaced from one another and from the respective edges of the strip.

Abstract: This invention relates to an overhead transparency storage and presentation pocket. The pocket has two sheets of material that are welded together along two mutually adjacent edges. Alternatively, the pocket is a folded sheet of material welded along one edge. Attached to the upper or lower sheet is at least one colored and light-permeable or light-dampening flap, which is intended to color the light gap which otherwise normally occurs when presenting an overhead transparency of known standard size with the aid of an overhead projector.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a rotary machine, such as a motor or a pump, which works with a fluid in the form of a gas or a liquid. The rotary machine comprises a housing, an annular passageway arranged in the housing, and at least two rotor-driven blades which run in the annular passageway and which are movable radially in the rotor. The passageway includes a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet and a constriction located therebetween in the passageway. The radial movement of the blades is guided forcibly past the constriction. Each blade is pivotally connected to a counterweight arranged on an arm. The arm is pivotally journalled on the rotor between the counterweight and the pivotal blade connection.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a wobble-hinged metal fitting suitable for adjustable motor vehicle seats, and more particularly, for back seat gears. The fitting includes two hinged brackets connected together by an eccentric, a carrier and shaft running therethrough. Each bracket contains an internal gear and an external gear associated with the internal gear. The eccentric is positioned next to one of the gears and is turnably connected to the shaft. The eccentric includes means for compensating play in the seat which consist of an eccentric part having a receiving inlet, at least one rolling body, at least two jamming planes and at least one spring. The spring is positioned such that it pressures the rolling body to come in contact with the jamming plane on one side and the gear on the other side. The carrier is positioned such that when the rolling body is in a locked position, an initial turning movement of the shaft results in the release of the locked rolling body before the eccentric starts to move.

Abstract: A wall structure for interior sound and thermal insulation of rooms. The wall structure comprises at least one insulating member (26a, 26b, 26c) and fastening profiles (10, 28) consisting of metal.

One portion of each L-profile is intended for installation to floor and ceiling respectively and the other for installation in an area between the insulating sheet of the member and its support sheet.

Abstract: The instant invention provides a method and apparatus for simulating a game of chance in which the player or players play a proactive role and in which the player may verify the probity of the device once play has been completed. This involves generating a sequence consisting of a finite number of hidden playing cards or numbers, randomizing the sequence and displaying the sequence in a predetermined arrangement. The improvement broadly includes enabling a player or players to select, and reveal if required, as many of the hidden playing cards or numbers of the arrangement sufficient to enable completion of the game, and revealing all of the playing cards or numbers of the arrangement only after the game is completed by the player or players.The revealing improvement more specifically includes two (2) major variants: 1.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of purifying gases which are polluted by hydrocarbons and the like in an apparatus having two reactors. Each reactor contains a catalyst bed, a ceramic bed and a border layer located between the two beds. The polluted gas is forced to stream alternately through the first reactor and the second reactor (clock-wise streaming) and the second reactor and the first reactor, respectively (counter clock-wise streaming). The purification of said gas occurs when the hydrocarbons in the gas are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water in the catalyst beds. The temperature of the gas streaming through the upper portion of the reactors is measured.
