Abstract: The present invention relates to a sanitary glass holder for supporting a glass in an upside down position and comprises an annular base with a plurality of generally equally spaced legs extending inwardly from said base towards the center thereof. Each leg includes a concave upper support edge just inwardly of the annular base for receiving the lip of an upside down positioned glass. Still inwardly of the concave support surface, each leg extends upwardly and joins together with the other legs thereat to form a knock off protector such that when the glass is supported about the glass holder of the present invention, the knock off protector extends generally upwardly into the glass.

Abstract: This invention relates to the method of producing a flexible, life-like model of physiological organs. These models are produced by injecting under pressure for a predetermined time a settable material such as silicone. The organ is then digested in a solution leaving a solid fabricated model. A multi-layered mold is fabricated around the solid model and once formed, is disassembled to remove said model. The mold is then reassembled and after proper coating is filled with liquid wax or similar material which is permitted to solidify. The mold is again disassembled and the wax model removed. The surface of the wax model can then be polished and otherwise cleaned prior to dipping in a settable liquid such as silicone which allows a build-up coating to be applied to such wax model. The thus coated model is then placed in boiling water or other environment to melt out the core to form a hollow casting by the lost wax technique.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a torsional shear wave generator for producing clean horizontally polarized seismic shear waves that can be utilized in investigating the earth's subsurface. Basically the torsional shear wave generator of the present invention comprises a hollow elongated shaft having a plurality of circumferentially spaced vanes radially projecting therefrom. Secured to a top portion of the shaft, as normally positioned in the ground, is a loading arm that extends generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said shaft. In some cases, the central shaft is not necessary if the vanes can be joined by other means such as welding.

Abstract: A coating of urea-formaldehyde resin is removed from spun fiberglass with an aqueous phosphoric acid solution. The fiberglass product is subsequently rinsed, dried and chopped for reuse.

Abstract: The present invention entails a multi-channel fishscope that includes an expandable microprocessor unit that is adapted to receive echo profile signals from one or more transmitter-receiver modules and through voltage comparatory networks generating an output video signal that is directed to a CRT of a television monitor. There the echo profiles are transformed into signature traces on the TV monitor that represent fish or other target objects. By the provision of a search/scan module with timing control provisions, the depth of the traces is scaled onto the TV monitor in order to indicate depth and relative position.

Abstract: The present invention entails a branch averaging pitot system for sensing differential pressure within a system of air or gas and providing a differential flow signal to a flow transmitter forming a part of the air monitoring system of the present invention. The branch averaging pitots include an array of shrouded total pressure pitots strategically spaced about the cross sectional area of an air receiving duct assembly and down stream from a honeycomb type air flow straightening section. In addition, an array of static pressure pitots are also provided, and wherein the respective static and total pressure pitots are communicatively connected by separate manifolds internally within the air receiving duct assembly. Openings in the pitots are relatively small (0.030 inches to 0.060 inches), and said transmitter is adapted to continuously direct a flow of purging air therefrom back to and through the pitots in order to keep them open at all times.

Abstract: This invention is a device for jump training of sport participants and features a double beat board mounted at converging angles from vertical to give a smooth, effective repeating bounce to a tethered ball. The beat board as well as the ball can be vertically adjusted and the tether of the ball can be extended against a suspended weight system. The entire trainer is compact, simple to operate, and effective for its intended purpose.

Abstract: The present invention entails a chlorinator having a chlorine tank and a mixing tank and an inlet water line for receiving water from a source and dividing the water into two flows, one flow being directed into the chlorine tank while the other flow is directed into the mixing tank. Water directed into the chlorine tank is directed through chlorine so as to form a chlorine-water solution that is in turn directed to the mixing tank where this solution is mixed with water to form a final chlorine-water solution. This final chlorine-water solution can then be directed through a system of water lines to sterilize and disinfect the same. For convenience, the chlorinator is preferably built in an assembly form and is adapted to be interconnected within a water system such that the same can be interconnected between a source of water and the respective system of lines to be disinfected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel heating system for an engine comprising a cylindrical fuel chamber having a heating line extended centrally through the same and communicatively connected to the engine cooling system. Provided on opposite ends of the fuel chamber are inlet and outlet gas ports that allow fuel to be directed to and into the fuel chamber where the same is heated by the fluid of the engine cooling system passing centrally through the fuel chamber via the heating line. As the fuel is heated up to approximately 160 degrees farenheit, it is then directed from the outlet gas port directly into the carburetor of the engine.

Abstract: This invention is a yarn tension device for use on textile creels and similar adaptations. A plurality of individual tension devices are formed from an aluminum alloy and are secured to a bar which in turn is mounted on the creel. Not only is the warping of brackets holding the tension devices eliminated, but also static electricity is bled off thus eliminating the precipitator effect which causes a build-up of wax and lint through the magnetic attraction of static electrical charges. Further a means is provided for preventing the tension balls or bearings from being removed from the devices during the threading of yarn therethrough.
