Abstract: A servo valve controls the rate and direction of flow of a hydraulic fluid from a fluid power system to impart reciprocating motion to the piston of a hydraulically driven motor. An outer sleeve member of the servo valve has entry and exit ports connected to the source of fluid power and motor control ports connected to the hydraulically driven motor. A slider member is positioned within a cylindrical opening through the sleeve member and includes fluid chambers within the slider for alternating the direction of fluid flowing to the hydraulically driven motor by rotating the slider member. The rate of fluid flow is controlled by the lateral movement of the slider within the sleeve member.
Abstract: In certain applications, such as solderless cable connectors, a set screw is used to provide the connection between two or more current conductors. The set screw should be tightened to no more than a predetermined tightening torque. This is automatically accomplished by providing a section along the length of the set screw that is weakened to a predetermined extent, which causes the screw to break at the section upon attainment of the predetermined tightening torque. Both portions of the separated screw include means for being engaged for tightening or loosening the screw.
Abstract: A lithographic printing plate is prepared from a layer of a photopolymerizable composition comprising an oleophilic macromolecular organic binder and a leachable hydrophilic ethylenically unsaturated compound by exposing the layer and then leaching the compound from the unexposed areas by treating with a suitable developing solvent, preferably water, producing an oleophilic surface. A similar plate may be prepared from a composition containing a hydrophilic binder and oleophilic leachable compound by imagewise exposure and solvent leaching producing an oleophilic surface in exposed areas and a hydrophilic surface in unexposed areas.
Abstract: The mercaptoacylpiperazine carboxylic acid compounds which have the formula ##STR1## wherein R, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 each is hydrogen or lower alkyl;R.sub.1 is lower alkyl;R.sub.2 is hydrogen, lower alkanoyl, benzoyl or ##STR2## m is 0, 1 or 2; n is 1, 2 or 3, the sum of m+n being equal to 1, 2 or 3and salts thereof, are useful as hypotensive agents.
Abstract: A movable amusement toy in the form of a vehicle adapted for pulling, and which is also provided with a seat for a user to push the vehicle with his legs while sitting on the same. The vehicle could also be adapted for pedalling action. A "popper" or ejecting mechanism provides an action or ejecting or "popping" balls or similar objects into a chamber formed by a transparent cover on the toy vehicle during movement. The chamber transparent cover is highly visible to a child as the child rides or pulls the toy. The ejecting mechanism includes a head which is capable of simultaneously popping several of the balls or similar objects from a trough formed beneath the housing and is actuable through mechanical connection to the wheels of the vehicle so that rotation of the wheels during movement of the toy will actuate the mechanism to pop the various balls or similar objects.
Abstract: A photopolymerizable coating composition comprising(1) a nongaseous, ethylenically unsaturated, polymerizable compound,(2) a specified nitroaromatic compound, and(3) an organic, radiation-sensitive, free-radical generating systemis useful for making a positive or negative polymeric image on a substrate.
Abstract: A hairbrush of the cylindrical bristle type in which a brush head carrying the bristles is rotatably connected to a brush handle. The brush head includes a portion adjacent to the handle which is free of bristles having a roughened surface to allow manual control of rotation of the brush head relative to the brush handle. In one form a heating element is included within the brush head.
Abstract: New mercaptoacyl derivatives of 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acids and 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-2-carboxylic acids having the general formula ##STR1## are useful as hypotensive agents.
Abstract: Substituted 2,3-naphthimidazole carbamates are provided having the structure ##STR1## wherein R is lower alkyl, R.sup.1 is hydrogen, halogen or ##STR2## and R.sup.2 is lower alkyl, CH.sub.2 -lower alkenyl, CH.sub.2 -lower alkynyl, phenyl or phenyl substituted with halogen, lower alkoxy, cyano, lower alkyl or trifluoromethyl, and n is 0, 1 or 2. These compounds are useful as anthelmintics.In addition, intermediates and a method of use are also provided.
Abstract: Antiinflammatory 2-substituted-dibenzo[2,3:6,7]oxepino[4,5-d]imidazoles, such as 10-fluoro-2-[(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)sulfonyl]-1H-dibenzo[2,3:6,7]oxepin o[4,5-d]imidazole, useful for treating arthritis and related diseases.
Abstract: A competitive game device which comprises a frame having a rippled playing surface. The rippled surface is formed by a plurality of transversely extending spaced apart recesses separated by arcuately shaped transversely extending ridge portions. The various recesses are assigned scoring values and certain of the recesses also have higher scoring values than other recesses. Each player may have a plurality of balls bearing his indicia. For example, the balls of each player may be a different color. A ramp leads downwardly to the first recess and the players take turns releasing balls down the ramp and onto the rippled playing surface. In a preferred form, the values of successive recesses initially increase; however, if a player's ball goes past the highest value recess, he will get a lower score, by virtue of the ball landing in a lower scoring recess or other area such as a gutter.

Abstract: Utilization of finish and recovery of materials for control of pollution are improved in a tow crimping process wherein an advancing tow of fibers which have been processed in an aqueous bath or series of aqueous baths is uniformly compressed in a confined space under a nip pressure of 600-1,000 lbs./in. to exude solvent-containing water from the tow, the exudate being returned to the last aqueous bath, a predetermined amount of finish is applied to the tow, the fibers are crimped in a stuffing box crimper whereby some of the finish and a small amount of residual moisture are exuded from the tow, the exudate is recovered and removed to a storage container, the exudate is re-applied to the tow at a rate corresponding to the rate of exudation and the crimped tow is collected and then dried.
Abstract: A semiautomatic apparatus for processing the imaged surface of a printing plate. The apparatus includes an enclosed tray in which a plate is processed and a storage tank for processing liquid. In a processing cycle, the tank and tray are moved in timed sequence to transfer the liquid from the tank to the tray and back and to drain subsequently introduced wash water from the tray.
Abstract: A time varying gain amplifier for a side scanning sonar system having a predetermined gain versus time relationship is disclosed. The gain is substantially proportional to the square of the elapsed time measured from the last sonar pulse initiating trigger signal. The amplifier in one embodiment employs a series connection of two amplifiers, each of which has a gain which varies linearly with the elapsed time.
Abstract: A workpiece is held to a supporting surface by a clamp device including a body which is secured to the surface and has a laterally extending inclined slot within its forward end surface. A gripping element is supported for sliding movement within the slot and is retained therein by a screw mechanism which is aligned with the slot and also provides for moving the gripping element within the slot.
