Abstract: A multi-pot device for facilitating a press fit connection between the device and a plurality of pots or planters, which enables a user to simultaneously and securely use, store, and transport multiple pots. Further, the multi-pot device does not conceal the markings located on the exterior of the individual pots. The multi-pot device comprises a top portion and a side portion. The top portion is further comprised of a plurality of spaced apart openings therein for receipt of the pots. Further, each of the openings is formed by a side that extends downwardly from the top portion, and each side is preferably comprised of a first lip, a first wall portion, a second lip, a second wall portion, a third lip, a third wall portion, a fourth lip and a fourth wall portion, the purpose of which is to form a press fit with the side walls of the pot.

Abstract: An adjustable front sight includes a carrier with a spiral sighting blade mounted for rotation within a base attached directly or indirectly to a barrel. A progression of sight lands is formed along a peripheral surface of the spiral sighting blade. Rotation of the carrier in opposite directions moves different sight lands into a sighting position at varying heights above the barrel for making elevation adjustments.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a MRAM device with a taper comprising the steps of providing a substrate, forming a dielectric region with positioned on the substrate, patterning and isotropically etching through the dielectric region to the substrate to form a trench, depositing the MRAM device within the trench wherein the MRAM device includes a first ferromagnetic region with a width positioned on the substrate, a non-ferromagnetic spacer layer with a width positioned on the first ferromagnetic region, and a second ferromagnetic region with a width positioned on the non-ferromagnetic spacer layer wherein the taper is formed by making the width of the first ferromagnetic region greater than the width of the non-ferromagnetic spacer layer, and the width of the non-ferromagnetic spacer layer greater than the width of the second ferromagnetic region so that the first ferromagnetic region is separated from the second ferromagnetic region.

Abstract: A strike pad for an athletic shoe to be located adjacent the heel portion of the shoe, made of a flexible resilient material comprising a disc-like upper portion having a series of semi-spherical nubs on its upper face confronting the heels of the user, a thin, circular base portion of a larger diameter than the upper disc portion and a generally circular bottom disc secured to the base of the strike pad by a suitable adhesive or the like.

Abstract: New copolyester composition that provides excellent filament spinning and mill/yarn processing of staple fiber into fabrics having combination of excellent pilling performance as well as aesthetics and tactility ("hand"). Preferred fibers have non-round cross-sections, especially multi-grooved and scalloped-oval cross-sections that provide fabrics having outstanding comfort qualities of moisture-management, dryness and comfort, as well as minimal pilling.

Abstract: A new support stand for project boards for supporting various sized project boards at different-angles for hands-off viewing. The inventive device includes a base member with an upper surface, a lower surface, a first end region, a second end region, and a pair of lateral sides. The upper surface includes a first support channel that supports a substantially planar project board inserted within it. The first support channel is located near the first end region. A second support channel may be provided near the second end region to hold a project board at a different viewing angle than when held in the first support channel.

Abstract: A swirler is provided for mixing air from a compressor and fuel from a fuel injector for discharge into a dome of a gas turbine engine combustor. The swirler includes a tubular ferrule for coaxially receiving the fuel injector. A plurality of circumferentially spaced apart swirl vanes are fixedly joined coaxially with the ferrule. An outlet tube is fixedly joined coaxially with the swirl vanes in flow communication therewith for receiving air from the swirlers and fuel from the fuel injector. An annular collar is fixedly joined around the outlet tube and has a convex spherical outer surface. An annular mounting flange for mounting the swirler to the combustor dome has a concave spherical inner surface disposed coaxially around the collar outer surface in a sliding fit therewith to define a ball joint for allowing relative rotation therebetween for self-aligning the fuel injector with the swirler.

Abstract: New polyester composition for new polyester staple fiber that provides fabrics having a combination of excellent pilling performance, aesthetics and tactility ("hand"). Preferred fibers have non-round cross-sections that are retained, especially such non-round cross-sections having multi-grooved scalloped-oval cross-sections that provide fabrics having outstanding comfort qualities of moisture-management, dryness and comfort, along with minimal pilling.

Abstract: Synthetic polyester fiber pillows have improved ticking fabrics of continuous filament polyester yarns, particularly of microdenier, and that may be sanded.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for directly measuring the radially applied, compressive nip load between two press rolls. Matched, low angle ramp plates are connected tensilely by a load strip which supports a strain gauge. The assembly, having less than one inch of nip section thickness, is placed in the subject roll nip and loaded normally. Due to the ramp angle base, the two plates are displaced in opposite directions normal to the radial load. The connective load strip opposes the opposite displacement thereby stressing the strain gauge.
