Abstract: A rear housing has a vertical bore for receipt of a bicycle fork tube and a horizontal bore for receipt of a movable piston slightly longer than the length of the horizontal bore. A front housing has a concave rear portion cooperating with a concave front portion of the rear housing to form a gripping enclosure for a bicycle handlebar. Threaded bores in the front housing are aligned axially with threaded bores in the rear housing so that tightening down on the front housing to the rear housing with threaded bolts causes the handlebar to be gripped tightly and the movable piston is urged backwardly to tightly hold the fork tube.

Abstract: A wheel cover is constructed to include an inner cap for covering a vehicle wheel, the inner cap having back mounting lugs for fastening to a wheel rim. The inner cap has a plurality of through holes and a plurality of stub barrels around the through holes protruding inwardly. An outer cap is adapted to cover the inner cap, the outer cap having a plurality of cylindrical mounting rods protruding inwardly and inserted into the through holes of the inner cap. A plurality of screws equipped with a washer is fastened to the mounting rods of the outer cap and a compression spring surrounds each mounting rod and is mounted in each stub barrel between the inner cap back wall and the washer.

Abstract: A multi-layered concave basin is formed for mounting in an opening in a wash stand. The basin is made from pliant woven twigs with successive bottom layers of a first clear epoxy, a clear fiber cloth and a second clear epoxy and a top layer of a third clear epoxy to create a basin impervious to water under pressure from a wash basin spigot.

Abstract: A guide bushing for a coring reamer having a tapered member with its largest diameter at its first end so that the guide bushing frictionally engages an internal surface of the reamer with a line contact. The guide bushing has a passage sized to slidably receive a guide pin. In use, the bushing advances in the proximal direction within the coring reamer along a guide pin while the excavated bone enters the passageway through the reamer. A storage package specifically designed for the reamer assembly is employed to remove the excavated bone from within the reamer. The package has a closed distal end and an open proximal end closeable with a cap. With the coring reamer received in cantilevered fashion through a central opening of the cap of the tube, and with an adapter that couples the coring reamer to a handpiece installed, a wrench is placed over the adapter and turned while the user grips peripheral surfaces of the cap to prevent rotation of the coring reamer.

Abstract: The apparatus is connected by tubing to a patient. The apparatus has a manometer on one side in communication with an entrance port conveying ambient air to the patient. A spring loaded cap is depressed to block air inspired by the patient and cause such air to move a diaphragm in the manometer so that the inspired negative air pressure of the patient can be recorded. As soon as the cap is released a spring opens the entrance port to continue normal flow of ambient air to the patient.

Abstract: A top vinyl layer, a bottom vinyl later and side vinyl layer are all heat welded together along peripheral edges. A heated blanket has a vinyl strip attached to its peripheral edges and such vinyl strip is heat welded to the top vinyl layer.

Abstract: A pressure compensated plug connector is provided for making an electrical connection under water. The connector includes a plug part provided with contact pins, a socket part having a casing for receiving a plurality of female contacts. A front plate is also included in the connector having a number of openings which correspond to the number of female contacts employed therein. The casing has at least one pressure compensating bore for compensating pressure between an inner space of the casing and the surrounding environment. A membrane separates an outer space communicating with the pressure compensating bore from an inner space filled with a non-conductive fluid surrounding the female contacts.

Abstract: This invention relates to window films and more particularly to a low haze colored window film wherein coloration of the window film is effected with a pigment. The invention further is concerned with a process for the manufacture of the pigmented window film. The window film of this invention is pigmented with a pigment having small particle size wherein the particles are coated with a resin binder which encapsulates the pigment particles. The encapsulated pigment particles are blended into an adhesive which is compatible with the resin binder which is used to encapsulate the pigment particles. The resulting adhesive is used to secure one or more film layers of a composite window film structure together. The resulting films have haze levels which approximate the haze levels of dyed window films. The window films of this invention have outstanding light stability.

Abstract: A flow sensor with a tube through which flows a medium to be measured and a housing comprising a lower shell and an upper shell and receiving electronics with unions provided with a flow bore communicating with the tube and which are received in recesses made in facing sides of the lower shell and upper shell, wherein the unions have an outer part, an inner part and a central piece, the inner part of both unions is provided with a blind hole concentric to the flow bore, and in which are mounted the ends of the tube, and the central piece is constructed cylindrically with a reduced diameter compared with the parts of the unions, and the lower shell and upper shell are in each case provided with a semicylindrical portion receiving the central piece of the unions.

Abstract: A video camera system employs a standard flood lamp housing enclosing a video camera, an AC powerline encoder, a power supply and a single conductor screw-in type AC electrical fitting. The video camera is surrounded by a plurality of white infrared light emitting diodes for illuminating the environment in front of the video camera in low and no light situations. The AC electrical fitting engages an AC screw-in type receptacle. The video camera captures a video signal. The encoder modulates the video signal upon the AC powerline. A video signal decoder located at a remote location receives the modulated signal over the AC powerline, demodulates the signal and directs its output to a video monitor. The video monitor coupled to an AC outlet common to the powerline scheme in which the video camera is connected displays the captured video signal.

Abstract: A guest operated front desk processing station is all contained in an upright stand alone housing. The housing contains a touch screen and keyboard for guest inputting information, and a signature pad in an upper portion. The housing front face contains a credit card swipe device for scanning a credit, debit or brand card, a slot for dispensing a receipt from a printer inside the housing and a key slot for dispensing a key card generated by a key making device within the housing. The housing front face also contains a slot for accepting various currency denominations and a slot for dispensing currency change. The processing station is connected by a network data cable to a Property Management System.

Abstract: A first and second housing joined together and rotatable with respect to each other, each housing having a conduit integral with an exterior wall, the conduits each having passageways leading to an internal portion of the respective housings. An internal edge of each housing mounts a heat-moisture exchange material having a transverse opening axially aligned with the passageway of the closest conduit. The passageway in the respective conduits are offset permitting passage of air to and from the patient through the heat-moisture material. The housings are rotated with respect to each other to axially align the passageways in the two conduits to permit passage of aerosol medicine through the exchanger without passing through the heat-moisture material.
