Abstract: A fuel control system, battle override valve and a method of controlling bypass fuel in a fuel system are disclosed. A battle override valve 30 for an engine fuel system 10 includes a metering valve 50 having a rate limiting function providing for control of a slew rate during an operation of the battle override valve 30. A transfer valve 70 having a manual fuel control operating position and a normal fuel control operating position permits a flow of fuel between the metering valve 50 and the transfer valve 70. The transfer valve 70 is controlled between the normal fuel control operating position and the manual fuel control operating position in order to regulate a flow of fuel during a manual or bypass fuel system 10 operation.

Abstract: A purge air and fuel flow divider module (15) independently directs fuel flow to a plurality of manifolds (25, 27 and 29) and independently purges fuel from these manifolds with air when they are not flowing fuel. A secondary manifold (29) is filled with fuel before flowing metered burn flow to it and fuel flow is apportioned between a primary manifold (27) and the secondary manifold (29) during secondary manifold metered burn flow. Three manifolds are disclosed, a primary manifold (27), a secondary manifold (29) and a start or pilot manifold (25), each containing fuel nozzles (31, 33). A manifold main housing (61) contains a purge valve (41) and two three-way solenoids (37, 39) controlling respectively a secondary transfer valve (43) and a pilot nozzle transfer valve (45). Depending on the requirements, the solenoids position the valves to either provide manifold fill fuel, burn flow fuel or purge air to their respective manifolds.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of reducing cholesterol in animals and food products derived from such animals. The method includes feeding to the animals a low phytate food source so that the phytate phosphorus intake of the animal is reduced.

Abstract: An elastomeric joint seal for architectural structures is provided with a multi-part cover and employs special anchoring hardware at least partially, and preferably entirely, mounted outside of the joint. The preferred mounting hardware comprises channels for receiving anchoring ribs of the multi-part cover. The main portion of the cover spans and seals the architectural joint, and is secured in the mounting hardware by anchoring ribs at each side. Cover strips are also anchored in the mounting hardware, and cover any exposed portions of the mounting hardware. The effective width of the joint is increased, by locating the mounting hardware outside of the joint space, which enables the joint to be designed to a narrower width dimension. The cover strips may be of a different color than the main seal to minimize the sight line.

Abstract: A telescoping wall joint system is disclosed, for connecting adjacent sections of an architectural structure, while accommodating substantial relative movement, such as might result from seismic activity Extended motion is provided in the joint system while avoiding the use of excessively wide components, which are both costly and aesthetically undesirable. A center cover plate, which spans the open space between two adjacent structural units, is received along one or both sides in a tubular sleeve. The cover plate is slidably extendable within a predetermined range in the tubular sleeves to accommodate normal movements of the structural units, such as may result from thermal expansion and contraction, for example. The tubular sleeves themselves are slidably received within fixed housings mounted on the respective structural units.

Abstract: Clumping animal litter compositions comprising particulate attapulgite clay having a moisture content in the range of from about 10 to 23 percent free moisture and a particle size distribution of from about 8 to about 40 mesh, preferably about 10 to 30 mesh. Method of production includes selection of an attapulgite clay having an API yield value of at least 80 barrels per ton and, preferably, kneading and extruding the clay, milling and heating the clay to a temperature not exceeding about 250.degree. F. to reduce the moisture content to about 10 to 23 percent, and screening the product to a mesh size of about 8 to 40 mesh.

Abstract: A baby swing support structure having a front post construction which, in side elevation, defines a scoop or concave shape to provide ready access to a baby from the sides or front. A stabilizing step at the bottom front of the posts provides a stabilizing means for preventing tipping of the support frame when a baby is to be removed, an important safety feature.

Abstract: A hook-on type baby chair intended for use with a tabletop is comprised of a chair, frame assembly and latch means. The frame assembly itself is comprised of (1) a pair of anchor members secured to the baby chair and dimensioned to overlie the tabletop, (2) a pair of vertical arm members extending from the anchor members to a seat portion of the chair and (3) a pair of grip members with gripper feet on one extremity to contact the underside of the tabletop and pivotably attached to the vertical arm members for movement. A latch means is associated with the anchor members and grip members to secure the baby chair to any thickness tabletop, yet allow ready disengagement therefrom.

Abstract: A puzzle is disclosed that is comprised of a plurality of cards that partially overlap each other so that, when completely assembled, the combined exposed portions provide a picture; the non-exposed portions provide areas for assembly information. The matching of the assembly information is a guide to assemble the puzzle. In one form, a card holder can be used to facilitate the positioning of the cards. In another form, the cards simply attach to each other.
