Patent number: 6988524Abstract: A tire, and an apparatus and method for forming a tire. The tire may either be a tubed or tubeless tire, and is filled with a mixture of virgin rubber and small rubber pieces. Preferably, a machine grinds the core of used flatproofed tires, or pieces thereof, into a finely communicated pulverulent. The pulverent is mixed with liquid virgin flatproofing material, such as a polyurethane. An injector introduces this mixture, into the core of a tire, typically through a valve. The core of the tire is preferably substantially filled with this mixture. The injector may take the form of one or more elongated screws and the mixing may occur as the ground rubber is being conveyed by the screw.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2001Date of Patent: January 24, 2006Assignee: PC IndustriesInventor: Charles A.

Patent number: 4950169Abstract: A universal connector of the "D"-type for use on the ends of cables connecting electronic equipment, the connector permitting ready customizing for particular applications. A circuit board is inserted, in one embodiment within the hood shield of the "D"-type connector that has a terminal strip for the mechanical joining of wires of the cable. This circuit board also has junction points for being joined, as by soldered connections, to pins of the connector, and fuse links joining the terminal strip and the junction points. In another embodiment, the circuit board and its components is within an auxiliary body, with this auxiliary body being connected to the "D"-type connector via pigtail cable. The connector is customized by electrically destroying (blowing) selected fuse links by passing current therethrough whereby the remaining fuse links form selected circuit paths between the pins of the connector and the cable.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1989Date of Patent: August 21, 1990Assignee: PC Industries, Inc.Inventors: Fred L.
