Abstract: A decorative feature for a transparent surface is disclosed. The decorative feature for a transparent surface includes a plurality of decorative elements. Each element includes a main body having at least one substantially planar first portion or lens which at least partially allows the transmission of light. The decorative elements are interconnectable to form an assembly and the installed assembly includes a plurality of layers of lenses. The plane of each lens is substantially parallel to the plane of the transparent surface.

Abstract: A lathe base assembly is disclosed that decreases vibration and increases thermal stability in a lathe utilizing either a cast iron or composite base. Two separate pairs of rails mounted offset from each other are provided for mounting a secondary spindle and a tool turret, respectively. Vibration from the tool turret caused by the machining operation is thus isolated from the secondary spindle (and vice-versa). If a second tool turret is provided with the lathe, a third separate pair of rails can also be provided for mounting the second tool turret to increase vibration isolation. If a cast iron base is provided, cavities can be provided in the base for filling with a vibration damping material, such as a polymer composite. Alternatively, the base can be constructed from a composite material, and especially a polymer composite.

Abstract: An indexing tool turret assembly is disclosed including a rotatable indexable turret tooling plate having mounted thereon stationary as well as live tooling. A single drive motor is utilized in order to perform indexing as well as to drive the live tooling. A plurality of live tools can be simultaneously mounted on the turret tooling plate and the single drive motor is selectively engageable with each of the live tools so that only one of the plurality of live tools is driven at a given time. The selective live tool drive train includes an axially movable drive shaft and bevel drive gear for selectively engaging the driven bevel gear of the desired live tool. The axially movable shaft assembly includes a mechanism for adjusting the backlash between the driving and driven bevel gears when these gears are engaged with one another.

Abstract: A substantially Y shaped split intake manifold is disclosed and also a method of connecting this manifold having fuel-air outlet conduits to a plurality of internal combustion engine cylinder inlet ports. The method comprises the steps of applying a layer of high temperature resistant rubber sealant that remains flexible upon curing to the two outlet passages or conduits of the split intake manifold for forming gas-tight seals between the two outlet passages of the manifold and the associated two inlet ports of the two cylinders of the internal combustion engine and allowing the sealant to cure in situ to adhesively bond to the two outlet passages of the manifold.

Abstract: A hospital patient medication record card system which includes a medication card mounted to a back support that in turn has a guide member affixed to its bottom edge. The guide member has markings, generally hour numerals, which generally indicate times related to the administration of medication for the patient. A marker member slidably mounted to the guide member can be selectively positioned over the numeral which indicates the time of the administration of the medication.

Abstract: A lawn edger having a motor (14) arranged with a vertical axis of rotation, a fan and cutter assembly (15) within a hollow frame (11), cutting blades (17) being below the fan blades (16) and extending not only radially outwardly from the axis of rotation but also axially downwardly so that they slope towards the cutting edges, and cutting is affected over a small segment of the periphery of the cutting blades, for example, by tilting the lawn edger to one side.

Abstract: This roller rocker is designed to change the valve lifter rocker arm leverage of an engine to increase the engine's performance. Primarily, it consists of a sliding pushrod seat, and a threaded Allen bolt is threaded into an opening in the sliding pushrod seat for traversing the seat in an opening in the body of the rocker arm. The design also includes a locking ring to retain the bolt, and an Allen set screw is received in the arm to lock the Allen bolt in its setting.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine characterized by the production of medium to large, red-colored seedless grapes that mature in late September, approximately nine weeks later than ‘Flame Seedless’ (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine characterized by the production of medium, green-colored seedless grapes that mature in early July, approximately four weeks earlier than ‘Thompson Seedless’ (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine characterized by the production of large, red-colored seeded grapes that mature in early September, approximately six to eight weeks later than ‘Flame Seedless’ (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine characterized by the production of medium, red-colored seeded grapes that mature in early September, approximately two to three weeks later than ‘Red Globe’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,787) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct grapevine plant named ‘Sheegene 25’, characterized by the following unique combination of characteristics: ‘Sheegene 25’ a cultivar developed as a table grape having berries that are large, red, and seedless. The large berries are approximately 7 g each naturally and without girdling or application of plant growth regulators. Harvest is during August when maturity reaches 17-22° brix.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine characterized by the production of medium, green-colored seedless grapes that mature in late August when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct grapevine plant named ‘Sheegene 27’ is described herein. The claimed variety was developed as a table grape and for raisin production, having uniform medium-sized, green, globose, seedless fruit weighing approximately 3 g each and having a crisp texture and neutral flavor. Harvest is in late-July to mid-August.

Abstract: ‘Sheegene 101’ is a new grapevine plant with novel characteristics that include good fertility and naturally loose bunches. The berries produced by ‘Sheegene 101’ are black and seedless with a crisp texture and no detectable seed traces. The berries produced by ‘Sheegene 101’ are large, weighing 7-8 g/berry on average, and are harvested in late August.

Abstract: ‘Sheegene 102’ is a new grapevine plant with novel characteristics that include medium-large, red seedless grapes that mature in late August to September.
