Abstract: Control system for sea turtle lights uses regulated lights, based upon satellite generated day signals and non-regulated lights. A user programmable timer permits the user to set time of day lighting operations. A seasonally fixed timer, fixed with a governmentally approved sea turtle season permits activation of the regulated lights. Outside of turtle season, non-regulated lights are used. The user turns ON and OFF the lights daily. An integrated lighting control system includes a central control unit having the user programmable timer and the seasonally fixed timer and the receiver with a processor and memory which generates lighting commands. A controllable light selector switch receives the lighting commands via a wired or wireless network. The method controls lights affecting sea turtles, which lights are subject to governmental regulation and seasonal operation. All light controls are further based upon the user set time of day and day of week lighting times.

Abstract: A macerator for reducing solid paper pulp products such as bedpans has a housing that is closable by a lid provided with an internal spray. An agitating blade is mounted to rotate within the housing about an axis of rotation inclined to a longitudinal axis of the housing. The agitating blade has two cutting edges inclined in different directions. High hydraulic shear between the agitating blade and the internal wall of the housing is produced on liquid within the housing. The axis of rotation may be offset from and may intersect the longitudinal axis of the housing.

Abstract: In the continuous vacuum forming of articles from a fibrous slurry, e.g. from paper pulp, a plurality of two-piece hinged moulds are mounted on a transport apparatus 1 which transports the moulds stepwise in a loop. The internal surfaces of the moulds are defined by wire gauze of mesh 107,109 and the moulds are connected to a source of suction.The moulds, with the suction applied, are moved through the fibrous slurry contained in a tank 43, whereupon fibres are deposited on the mesh 107,109, much of the water being drawn off by the suction. The mould passes through a drying station, where warm air is sucked through the mould, further drying the article.The transport apparatus 1 is movable pivotably about an axis 6 by means of a fluid-operated ram 25. At the top of the path, the mould and the article therein are lowered onto a pin 61, a plurality of which are situated on an endless conveyor 59.

Abstract: Known perfume dispensing materials such as those which comprise paper or ceramics have been found to affect adversely the odor of the perfume they dispense. Vermiculite appears to overcome this disadvantage when used in a perfume dispensing material.
