Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning a smoking vessel including a holding tank, a heating element, a first cleaning circuit, a pump and a secondary tank. The holding tank has a return port, an outlet port and a secondary tank port. The heating element is positioned in proximity to the holding tank. The first cleaning circuit has a first portion in fluid communication with a cavity of a smoking vessel, and a second portion fluid communication with the first and second portions also being in communication with the holding tank. The pump circulates through the first cleaning circuit. The secondary tank is in communication with the secondary tank port of the holding tank and further including a vent.

Abstract: A flexible hose or a tubing having a barrier layer of polyamide 6 having an impact modifier, and/or branched molecular structure, a flexural modulus of 1 to 2 GPa and/or a tensile elongation of 100% or more. The hose may have additional layers such as an HNBR rubber inner tube, an EVM/CPE rubber blend outer cover, a textile or wire reinforcement, or the like. Permeability to ethanol- and methanol-containing fuels is very low. Permeability to B20 biofuels is very low.

Abstract: An apparatus for holding and separating the electrical power cords of multiple barber clippers and other barber accessories. The apparatus includes a central pole, at least one hanger attachment holder attached to the central pole and at least one cord separator attached to the central pole. The hanger attachment holder has at least two hangers attached to the underside or perimeter of the hanger shelf for holding barber clippers and other barber accessories. The cord separator is located under the hanger attachment holder, and has at least two recessed areas along the perimeter of the shelf, with each recessed area aligned with the position of a corresponding hanger on the hanger shelf and acting to gather the electrical power cord of a barber clipper or other barber accessory held by the hanger.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reflector apparatus for reflecting light upon a film set. The reflector apparatus comprises a fire retardant frame formed of a twin wall board made with a block-copolymer polypropylene resin with flame inhibiting properties. A flexible fire retardant sheet is detachably attached with the frame. The fire retardant sheet is constructed of a fire retardant material such as ripstop, ultra bounce, and nugget cloth. Through use of the reflector apparatus, a user can direct the light from a lamp onto the frame and/or flexible fire retardant sheet to be reflected onto the film set, allowing the user to control lighting conditions of the film set. The present invention also relates to a method for reflecting light upon a set using the reflector apparatus described herein.

Abstract: A digital-to-synchro converter accepts digital distance data comprising either a binary coded decimal (BCD) signal or a train of pulses of any desired format. The converter comprises a digital-to-synchro converter whose output represents the distance data that controls a signal generator synchronized to a sinusoidal reference voltage. The signal generator output are pulses representing sample and hold control signals which are applied to a sample and hold circuit. The sine wave is sampled by the sample and hold circuit, and the output is a DC voltage that is proportional to the sine of the desirable synchro rotation angle. This voltage is applied to an analog multiplier for generating the controlling signals which are then amplified before being routed to provide distance measurements at the synchro receiver.
