Abstract: A thermal management circuit board comprises a heat sink, at least one insulating layer and at least one electronic circuit. The heat sink comprises a heat conducting material having tooling holes disposed therethrough and raised portions disposed on at least one surface thereof. The raised portions of the heat sink provide mounting surfaces for heat producing electronic components on a plane above a chemically etched surface of the heat sink. The electronic circuit comprises a prepreg and a circuit material wherein the circuit material is laminated to the prepreg, has a photoresist laid thereupon with at least one circuit image printed thereupon. The photoresist is then developed and the circuit material is chemically etched to define a circuit trace of the electronic circuit. The insulating layer comprises a thermally and electrically resistant material and has apertures disposed therethrough corresponding in size and shape to the raised portions of the heat sink.

Abstract: A raking attachment for an air stream generating device is adapted to direct an air stream generated by air stream generating device into a loosely defined plane. The raking attachment comprises a generally triangular shaped top wall, an opposing triangular shaped bottom face, side walls and an inlet throat with the side walls joined to at least a portion of the top wall and the bottom face wherein the top wall, bottom face and side walls extend longitudinally from the inlet throat. The top wall also extends beyond a terminal end of the bottom face and terminates in an end wall that is disposed at a angle relative to the top wall.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises at least one first fluid passage contiguous with at least one second fluid passage. The first fluid passage is separated from the second fluid passage by a common boundary, the boundary having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is described by a plurality of curvilinear surfaces joined at the ends thereof into a sinuous curvilinear surface and the second surface is described by a plurality of curvilinear surfaces joined at the ends thereof into a sinuous curvilinear surface. The curvilinear surfaces of the first and the second curvilinear surfaces are defined by a portion of an inverse square curve.

Abstract: A window assembly comprising an elongated transparent pane, at least one lighting assembly and at least one opaque covering, the elongated transparent pane having the opaque covering associated with the interior surface thereof and having the lighting assembly mounted adjacent the interior surface of the opaque covering, the opaque covering having at least one aperture disposed therethrough wherein light emanating from the lighting assembly is visible from the exterior surface of the window assembly.

Abstract: An electrical terminal connector has a wire receiving opening disposed through a body member thereof, the wire receiving opening having a defined guiding surface provided on an insertion side of the body member. The defined guiding surface is tangent to the wire receiving opening.

Abstract: A lighting system comprising at least one lighting assembly, the lighting assembly comprising at least one ultraviolet light source, means for separately controlling ultraviolet light source and a mounting base, the mounting base carrying the ultraviolet light source with the means for separately controlling disposed remote therefrom, lighting assemblies of the lighting system mounted upon a portion of the side of a boat wherein the ultraviolet light source comprises an array of point lights.

Abstract: An apparatus for enhancing fuel mileage of internal combustion engine consists of a tube inserted into a fuel line between a fuel storage tank and the engine, the tube having a plurality of electrodes protruding into a fuel passage within the tube. The electrodes are provided with an electrical charge for imparting electrical charges to liquid fuel molecules flowing through the fuel passage of the tube.

Abstract: The Dove-Tail Sizing Stock with Solder Pockets includes the technique of increasing or reducing the size of a circular object, such as a finger ring. The sizing stock includes dovetail shaped ends with pockets of solder on each end. The solder that is inserted into the holes drilled into the dove-tail crevices on each end of the sizing stock is of the same color, karat and hardness as the sizing stock. The sizing stock will be of the same material, color, karat and hardness as the circular object or finger ring to be sized. It will be understood that the foregoing description is for illustration purposes only. Other adaptations and uses of the invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Abstract: A multipurpose sensing system of detecting, qualifying and quantifying a potential threat to national security comprises a multipurpose sensing module associated with each cargo carrying container. The system tracks the instantaneous location of each cargo carrying container with the multipurpose sensing module on board each cargo carrying container sampling the contents thereof for the presence of material selected from the group comprising nuclear, biological and chemical grade weapons material.

Abstract: A daily display is associated with a text display, the daily display comprising a specific Gregorian calendar date, the text display comprising an abbreviated name of a text reference work wherein the text display is associated with the specific Gregorian calendar date to constitute a complete bibliographic citation.

Abstract: A pump suitable for use with contamination-sensitive fluids such as food products or pharmaceutical fluids includes an outer casing containing an internal cavity, the outer casing having an enlarged opening on one end, a second opening on an opposite end, a first inlet port and a first outlet port. The internal cavity has pumping parts disposed substantially within the cavity, the pumping parts comprising end blocks each having a drive and idler shaft support, a drive shaft and an idler shaft, a plurality of pumping wheels, and a center block with an internal cavity defining a pumping chamber. The enlarged opening of the outer casing is sealed by an end cap, an elastomeric seal and a quickly removable industry-standard clamp. The second opening of the outer casing is provided for the drive shaft and is sealed by an elastomeric shaft seal. The pumping wheels are rotationally active with, but not axially retained, on respective support shafts and are substantially free to slide on their respective axes.
