Abstract: An agility skill game usable for exercise or competitive games comprising a pair of spaced-apart facing frames, each said frame having a multiplicity of retainers regularly disposed thereon and at least one elastic cord movably extendable from the retainers of the first frame to the retainers of the second frame. The cord retainers are disposed upon the frame, typically in a regular array such that the cords may be placed upon differing retainers on the same crossbar to change the lateral spacing between the cords and also to change the distance of said cord from a playing surface.
Abstract: A method for transferring data files between processors in a linked network of computer processors, under applications program control operable in one or more of the processors, wherein a special applications program instruction is devised to cause the executing computer to process a utility program which identifies the data file being requested and transmits a request for such data file to another computer processor holding the data file. The computer processor holding the data file implements a special utility routine in response thereto, to first identify whether the requesting computer processor is authorized to receive the data file, and then transmits the data file to the requesting computer processor.
Abstract: A conveying apparatus for paper products in stream form having two parallel belt elements supported by rollers is made up of individual standardized self-contained prefabricated constructional elements which at least at a side lying in the product flow direction are couplable to a corresponding constructional unit in such a manner that only a single conveyor belt pair is provided which is supported by rollers or rolls and driven by a single drive unit, and at least one constructional unit is constructed for a deflection and/or turning of the product stream.

Abstract: An antiskid attachment for use with an automotive wheel having a tire includes a base plate adapted to be positioned on one side of the wheel. A plurality of spaced-apart ground-engaging band members are mounted peripherally around the base plate in cantilevered manner and are adapted to be positioned on the outer surface of the tire. Each of the band members has a transverse hole formed in the free end thereof. A fastening cord is passed through the holes of the band members for releasably tensioning the band members. Tying means is provided for releasably tying the fastening cord to the outside surface of the base plate with the band members tensioned by the fastening cord.
Abstract: A hose clamp made from a unitary, spring steel band formed into a generally cylindrical configuration. The clamp has a support piece extending radially outwardly from one end of the spring steel band, a slot opening formed in the one end adjacent the support piece and extending a predetermined length in a circumferential direction of the spring steel band, a projecting piece formed at the other end of the spring steel band and fitting in circumferential relationship in the slot opening, and an upstanding tab formed at the distal end of the projecting piece and extending radially outwardly of the spring steel band. With this arrangement, when the spring steel band is deflected to its expanded position, the tab is retained on the support piece so as to temporarily lock the spring steel band in its open or expanded position.
Abstract: A system for controlled humidity tests wherein gas transmission through a barrier may be measured, including apparatus for controllably mixing a dry gas and wet gas, for conveying the mixed gas to a test chamber or chambers for measurement of relative humidity and gas transition through a barrier, including gas transmission conduits having a pressure drop of less than 1 percent of ambient pressure, and including conduit temperature controls to maintain a controlled first temperature in the test chamber or chambers, and controlled higher temperatures in all other gas conduits.

Abstract: In an apparatus for changing the conveying direction of bendable paper products brought up continously in formation said products are clamped in a constraining guide in fixed formation, turned at least partially helically and led at an angle to the feed direction.
Abstract: A cutting knife for a rotary cutting apparatus for multilayer isolated paper products with projections, for example in tooth form, projecting from a base body. The projections are formed as blades or the like displaceable in or on the base body and inclined with respect to a cutting plane; the faces of the blades lying in the cutting plane can be reground.
Abstract: Apparatus for detecting radiation with a light-sensitive radiation receiving tube enclosed in a housing behind a transparent window, the invention including an auxiliary internal light source for testing the optical transmissive properties of the window and including a shielding member between the auxiliary light source and the radiation-receiving tube and a reflective mirror for directing light from the auxiliary light source toward the window for reflection off an external interface surface thereof toward the radiation-receiving tube.
Abstract: An enamelled double pan includes an outer pan member and an inner pan member. The outer pan member has an open top, a peripheral flange formed on the open top, and a handle mounted on an outer side surface thereof. The outer pan member is coated with an enamel layer. The inner pan member has an open top and a peripheral flange formed on the open top. The inner pan member is coated with an enamel layer, and is received in the outer pan member with a space defined therebetween for reserving water. The space is covered at its upper end with the peripheral flange of the inner pan member. A packing is provided between the peripheral flange of the outer pan member and the peripheral flange of the inner pan member. A clamping ring is provided for clamping the peripheral flange of the outer pan member and the peripheral flange of the inner pan member. A water filler aperture is formed in the peripheral flange of the inner pan member for filling the water into the space.
Abstract: The measuring assembly for analyzing electromagnetic radiation comprises the following structural groups arranged one behind the other in the beam path:at least one linear polarizer (2);at least one optically active element (3) of known optical activity, i.e. known frequency response of the rotation of the polarization plane; andat least one analyzer (4) the polarization direction of which has a fixedly set orientation with respect to the direction of transmission of the linear polarizer. The beam issuing from the analyzer (4) is passed through a photosensitive sensor (7,8) to a measuring circuit. The total intensity of the radiation under investigation is determined in various ways by forming a reference signal, namely by direct measurement with the optically active element temporarily removed from the beam path, by neutralizing a partial beam, or by a beam splitting analyzer.

Abstract: A multi-layered puzzle having a plurality of generally transparent layers with each layer having different designs thereon. The puzzle is solved by matching the shape design of each piece and identifying the appropriate layer in the puzzle. The overlaying pieces provide for a three dimensional puzzle especially adapted for puzzles having nature scenes inscribed thereon. The difficulty of the puzzle may further be increased by having one or more layers in contoured relation to each other.
