Abstract: A device or method for flaring nylon or plastic tubings while on a tube-bending fixture, without the necessity of flaring in the assembly process so the tube can be inserted with a coupler or connector. A first embodiment includes a tapered post having a bi-metallic spring mounted thereon. A second embodiment includes a tapered movable piston for forming the flare in the tube.

Abstract: A method for detecting the presence and severity of illness, the effectiveness of treatment interventions, and the ability to change treatment to be more effective or aggressive, to optimize outcomes, to limit morbidity and mortality, and to illustrate a patient's prognosis, including the steps of using whole body impedance analysis to measure a patient's resistance, reactance, phase angle, and related electrical values at a healthy baseline, and thereafter in relation to the patient's complaints, evaluating temporal or progressive nature of negative values or diminution of the measured values of resistance, reactance, phase angle, and related electrical values over time.

Abstract: A method and system for coating a glass contacting surface with a thermal barrier and lubricious coating. The system uses a novel exterior surface mixing tip device wherein oxygen is supplied through a predetermined portion of one supply line, and a predetermined gas is supplied through a predetermined portion of another supply line enveloping the first predetermined portion.

Abstract: The present invention provides a circuit arrangement to convert fixed, or grounded resistors, to floating resistors. In particular, the circuit arrangement provides for the coupling of active electrical resistance devices to provide a relatively high value electrical resistance between two non-grounded nodes of the circuit arrangement in the order of Giga-ohms. The invention further provides for the magnitude of the floating electrical resistance to be determined by the magnitude of electrical current supply thus providing a means to select the magnitude of the floating electrical resistance by selecting by selecting the magnitude of electrical current supply. The circuit arrangement requires relatively few active devices and consumes a relatively small amount of electrical power in operation.

Abstract: A well shut off device for completely sealing off a flowing well. The resilient center seal member is sandwiched between upper and lower face plates. A group of fastening members holds together the face plates and the central seal member for urging the central seal member into intimate sealing contact with the well casing of the well and with the couplings when the fastening members are tightened.

Abstract: A hydraulic capstan to pull electric or communication wire through conduit or open trenches over long distances from a stationary position. The capstan is powered by a hydraulic motor. An operator can activate the motor from inside the cab of a vehicle to turn the capstan. The rope attached to the wire is wrapped around the capstan. When the rope is pulled tight on the turning capstan, the rope comes on one side and off the other side, pulling the wire load.

Abstract: A fabricated tape assembly for bonding of steel locating hinge washers to a hinge assembly to facilitate doors-off/door-on processing through an automotive trim shop. The adhesive bonding system cures during the cathodic electro-cost primer bake cycle. The adhesive maintains an intimate, positive contact with both metal surfaces ensuring adequate bonding performance and maximized bonding surface area during a defined heat or bake cycle.

Abstract: There are provided a file structure for preventing edition and deletion in the Internet, a variety of computers and computer application media, an advertising method using this file structure and a system adapted for this method, which is capable of providing various information items such as music, music video, movies, games and programs together with advertisements free to users through the Internet, a super fast communication network, a dedicated line network, or a general communication networks, and preventing an information file provided to the users from being reproduced if any one of the information, advertisement and header is edited or deleted.

Abstract: A wire straightening and cut-off process and machine which feeds, straightens, and cuts wire, and which uses a servomotor in dual mode. In a continuous mode, short wire parts are cut at a high cut-off rate. In an intermittent mode, long wire parts are cut wherein each cut is triggered by a signal.

Abstract: A game skinner device having a winch and a roller deposed at opposite ends of a main support. The main support is adjustably secured to the hitch of a vehicle. The game skinner device does not support the weight of the game.

Abstract: Disclosed is a speaker with a built-in direct current motor for selectively generating sound and vibration, which includes: a speaker part, a direct current motor part, and a frame. The speaker part has a yoke having a hole formed at the center thereof, a first ring-shaped magnet mounted on the top surface of the peripheral portion of the yoke, a ring-shaped upper plate mounted on the top surface of the first magnet, a vibration plate fixedly mounted to the top surface of the upper plate at the circumferential end thereof, and a generally cylindrical voice coil attached to the bottom surface of the vibration plate.

Abstract: A washable window shade having a support mechanism similar to that used on mini-blinds which may use a single drawstring which proceeds down through the middle of the shade and goes through the middle of the bottom flat member. The shade includes a plurality of horizontal stiffening members.

Abstract: A positive lock-out adapter device which is interposed between the shifter of a vehicle and the transmission housing. The device positively prevents shifting into 5th gear and reverse.
