Abstract: Fragrance-releasing cartridges for decorative illuminated assemblies of the type having an electrical cord terminated by at least one electrical connector, at least one lighting element, and at least one lighting element socket electrically coupled to the electrical cord and dimensioned and arranged to retain and make electrical contact with a corresponding lighting element. Each cartridge is formed from a molded polymer impregnated with a scented compound that is released at a substantially higher rate while heated by one of an associated lighting element and a discrete, resistive heating element.

Abstract: Provided herein are propylene polymers which are capable of being used as thermoplastic polyolefins just as they emerge from the reactor system described, without further compounding of components which substantially modify the physical properties of the polymers, as such compounding is required of polymers of the prior art. Polymers according to the invention unexpectedly possess both low temperature ductility and high flexural modulus, which properties were related in inverse proportion to one another in the polymers of the prior art.

Abstract: Blends useful as an additive in polyolefin polymers for minimizing the effects of radiation on the physical properties of polymers, which comprises a hindered amine light stabilizer and at least one material selected from the group consisting of: i) amine oxides and ii) hydroxylamines. Various articles of manufacture may be produced using a composition or blend according to the invention, and the physical properties of such articles are less effected by electromagnetic radiation than like-kind compositions of the prior art.

Abstract: A drawing and tracing toy includes a case with a rear wall attached to a frame. A transparent front cover is encased within the frame. A transparent game board with recesses is interposed in between the rear wall and the front cover. A storage compartment lies adjacent to the game board. Play pieces may stored in the storage compartment and moved to the game board via a magnetic tool. A slot is provided on the side of the frame and allows a drawing to be inserted below the game board so that the outline of the drawing can be traced with play pieces on the game board. The case may be locked so that the play pieces do not fall out of the recesses or the storage compartment if the case lies vertically. In locked position, the toy may stand upright via an easel.

Abstract: Stud welding device with an axially displaceable adjusting element (3, 17) for displacement from a front position into a rear position and back, in which a magnetic field and a coil (15) interact in such a way that, when the coil (15) is connected to a controllable current source (41) an axial force is produced in order to displace the adjusting element (3, 17), the movement of which is transmitted to a stud holder (2), characterized in that the coil (15) is rigidly arranged on a hollow body (14) which is connected to the adjusting element (3, 17) and is arranged axially movably in an air gap (13) between a magnetizable core (8) and a magnetizable sheath (10), the magnetic field being conveyed via at least one yoke (9) connecting the core (8) and the sheath (10) while passing radially through the coil (15), the coil exerting on the adjusting element (3, 17) an axial force acting only in one direction as a function of the direction of current during current control.

Abstract: A non-streaking glass cleaning composition comprising, on a weight basis, from about 0.1 to about 1% ethylene glycol monohexyl ether, from about 0.01 to about 0.5% of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures thereof, from about 0.1 to about 7% of an organic cosolvent comprising a mixture of (i) a low boiling point organic cosolvent having a boiling point of less than about 115.degree. C. and (ii) a high boiling point organic cosolvent having a boiling point of from 120.degree. to about 230.degree. C., from 0 to about 2% of a builder, and water, said composition having a pH of from about 3.5 to about 11.5, to provide a non-streaking glass cleaning formulation.
