Abstract: A set of holes are drilled into a potato in preparation for cooking to provide a multi-holed potato and potato twirls. Apparatus for forming the multi-holed potato has a gang of parallel drills mounted for rotary and reciprocal movement through holes in a pair of plates spaced apart a distance to support the potato therebetween.

Abstract: A golf swing aid (10) has a glove (11) adapted to be worn on the hand of a golfer closest to the intended target. The golf swing aid includes a hand support member (20) and an arm support member (23) mounted within plies of the glove. The hand support member is coupled to the arm support member by a ball and socket joint (29) which limits the backwards flexing of a golfer's wrist.

Abstract: The bottom and side surfaces of a water sports board are textured with dimples measuring four to six thousands of an inch deep and a density of 80 to 160 dimples per square inch.

Abstract: A filter press is provided with filter plates supported vertically in a horizontal row in a frame structure and with filter cloth disposed between the filter plates for treating slurries introduced between the filter plates. The filter press includes bars supported at a height above the filter plates to support the filter cloth, shafts disposed orthogonally under the bars, cylinders to move the shafts toward and away from the bars, and vibrators mounted on the shafts to vibrate the shafts. The shafts are moved to come into contact with the bars, and the vibrators are actuated to make the bars vibrate to drop cake remaining on the filter cloth when the filter plates are opened. The filter press further includes photoemissive and photoreceptive devices for detecting deflection and sinking of the bars due to weight of the cake on the filter cloth, and wash pipes for washing down the filter plates and filter cloth.

Abstract: A device (10) for dispensing animal attractant scents has a case (11) in which are housed a power source (B) and a bottle (25) containing a supply of liquid animal attractant scent. A wick (40) having a heat generating resistor (41) is mounted in the wick and coupled to the power source (B) to heat the animal attractant scent drawn near it by capillary action from the bottle causing it to vaporize rapidly and be dispensed into ambient air.

Abstract: Acetoacetamide is used as an effective formaldehyde scavenger in the manufacture of composition board using a urea formaldehyde adhesive resin and in the manufacture of durable press finished fabrics using a nitrogen containing methylol resin.

Abstract: An apparatus 10 for shielding a personal occupancy space 11 from electromagnetic and geopathic fields has a floor shield 15 and two side wall shields 18 and 20. The shields are made of ferrous, wire mesh screening and are erected so as to traverse all three spatial protected space. The shields are grounded with the use of a wall plug 29 that has two non-conductive prongs 32 and a conductive grounding prong.

Abstract: A container and method of making the same preferably from a single web of flexible material wherein the method comprises placing a V-fold, or modified flat V-fold, in a sheet of such material, creating two subsections whose V-fold members are attached to the respective subsections preferably along a longitudinal fold line. First and second side edge weld lines are made thereby connecting the respective subsections to their own V-fold members as well as those of the opposite subsections. Oblique weld lines then interconnect the point of intersection of the side edge weld lines and longitudinal fold line. The bottom wall is formed by folding the legs inwardly with the endmost portions of which pivoting along a lateral axis of the bottom wall upwardly towards the first and second side edge weld line thereby reinforcing the stress-bearing bottom.

Abstract: A set of holes are bored into a potato in preparation for cooking to provide a multi-holed potato and potato twirls. Apparatus for forming the multi-holed potato has a gang of parallel drills mounted for rotary and reciprocal movement through holes in a pair of plates spaced apart a distance to support the potato therebetween.

Abstract: A crown planing tool 10 has a body 11 formed with a pair of mutually spaced, juxtaposed runners 12 having coplanar bottom surfaces 13 and a hand grip 16 that bridges the two runners to form a channel 17 through the body. A disk-shaped blade 29 is adjustably mounted to the body within the channel.
