Abstract: A vapor compression type refrigerator system which utilizes a liquid pump and an eductor to reduce compressor power conmsumption and thereby achieve exceptionally high coefficient performance values. The system is useful for air conditioning or for refrigeration in residential and commerical type buildings and is convertible to heat pump operation.
Abstract: A container for accumulating newspapers for disposal, the container dimensions approximating the dimensions of a standard newspaper, the container having spools of cord or twine disposed within the container, the cord or twine positioned within a guide path across the support tray for the accumulated newspapers such that the weight of the accumulated newspapers causes the support tray to descend within the container automatically dispersing additional cord or twine such that when sufficient newspapers have been accumulated, the cord or twine from the spools is already dispersed in sufficient quantity to permit the operator to bundle the newspapers about their lateral circumference and longitudinal circumference and remove them from the container for disposal.
Abstract: An LED display particularly adapted to be used as part of a design on articles of clothing such as tee-shirts, includes a flexible circuit board to which individual LED dies are secured in desired position. The individual dies are electrically connected to traces on the circuit board and are encapsulated on the board so as to protect the individual dies and connections and so that the encapsulating material forms lenses for the dies. In most instances, the display so formed will be completely covered with a protective layer of covering material having a design thereon and having transparent or translucent means over the encapsulated LED dies so that light given off by the LEDs is transmitted through the layer. Control circuitry is provided to supply power to the LEDs, preferably in a predetermined pattern, to cause them to illuminate.
