Abstract: A process for use in the final stages of purification of sewage water in which the effluent is placed under pressure by a pump and forced through a filter. Part of the effluent is sampled and chlorinated by a chlorine gas injector and then reintroduced into the lager body of effluent. The entire mixture is held within a detention chamber in order to allow the chlorine to dissipate, and then pumped out into a natural stream through a pipe in which air bubbles are injected in order to replenish the oxygen level.
Abstract: An apparatus for eliminating noise and vibration from compound bows comprising a fluid filled tube mounted horizontally to the bow body having a cylinder mounted within the tube, and a tuning rod or wire mounted within the cylinder. The vibrations from the bow travel down the tuning wire within the cylinder and are absorbed by the fluid within the tube.

Abstract: An apparatus for clamping and holding objects, on which work is to be performed, that can be operated by downward pressure of the workman's foot. The apparatus consists essentially of two jaws in a horizontally adjacent position. The lower jaw is rigidly fixed. The upper jaw is pulled down against the lower jaw by a vertical bar that is affixed to the upper jaw. The downward force is supplied by two springs. The spring force may be overcome by exerting foot pressure downward against a lever which is pivotally affixed to the vertical bar and is pined at its mid section to a rigid bracket.
Abstract: A method of producing calcium chloride granules of a specific size from a calcium chloride and water solution in a completely closed environment by controlling the rate of fall of a specific size of solution droplet through an up-current of hot, dry gas.
Abstract: A process of teaching the use of keyboards thereby enabling keyboard operators to produce large quantities of printed material in a much shorter time at higher accuracy. The process instructs keyboard students to associate printed material with four specific finger movements rather than keyboard memorization, thereby securing proficiency for keyboard students in as little as four hours rather than the usual six to thirty six weeks.
Abstract: A game designed to aid in fostering personal relationships using a board, a pair of dice, several stacks of question and command cards, a timer, a box of laxatives, and several other related objects. The purpose of the game is to force the fostering of personal knowledge between couples through the forced answering of random questions dealing with personal relationships upon certain random occurrences.
Abstract: A vessel for pleasure or cargo transportation in which the vessel is born by a special flotation method comprising a plurality of circular floats that are designed to be rotated at high speed in such a way that the vessel skims across the water riding on the crests of the waves. The vessel is powered primarily by jet pumps in such a way that the vessels may be linked as a train, each successive jet pump taking advantage of the residual effect of the preceding jet pump. It is also powered by a vector sail system. A special laser alignment system is employed, for maintaining alignment, when the vessels are linked in a train.
Abstract: An apparatus for mounting visual images or image producing devices onto the valve stems of inflatable tires, and more specifically, a valve stem mounted reflector having a lens, a reflective element and a forcible removable system of mounting.
Abstract: An apparatus for use in audio monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration in general, and as an aid in blind nasal intubation, as well as other procedures requiring the monitoring of carbon dioxide in which carbon dioxide is measured by a carbon dioxide monitor, the carbon dioxide monitors output is used as the control voltage of a voltage controlled oscillator, and the output of the voltage controlled oscillator is amplified, delivered to a speaker, and thereby produces an audible tone whose pitch is directly proportional to the level of carbon dioxide being monitored.
Abstract: A portable, artificial putting green capable of being deployed over a variety of surfaces, so constructed as to take on the shape of the underlying surface on which it is placed.
