Abstract: An electrical contact modifier is configured to allow the use of a “single-element” medium base light bulb in a three-way lamp holder/switch. The device allows the three-way switch to replicate the “OFF-ON” functionality of a standard one-way light switch.

Abstract: A method and system is described of adapting a three way lamp socket to be able to utilize a plurality of “single-element” light bulbs.

Abstract: An electrical contact modifier is configured to allow the use of a “single-element” medium base light bulb in a three-way lamp holder/switch. The device allows the three-way switch to replicate the “OFF-ON” functionality of a standard one-way light switch. The apparatus may be implemented as a single-socket bulb extender, or alternately, a device that is concealed within the lamp holder body and/or attached to the base of a one-way “single-element” light bulb.

Abstract: There is shown and described an apparatus which can be used to reduce the fat content of parts of the human body.

Abstract: A method of a ceramic fibre lining to a furnace comprises forming strips of fibre by making transverse cuts through a ceramic fibre blanket in which the axes of the fibres are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the blanket, said cuts being made at an acute angle to the major faces of the blanket, and arranging the strips on the furnace wall to be lined with a thus cut face against the said wall. The invention provides also furnaces lined according to said method and prefabricated lining modules having a backing and a lining made according to said method.
