Abstract: A process for forming a metallic structure out of a paper shape by coating the shape with a liquid carbonizable resin, curing the resin, baking the resin-coated shape until the resin carbonizes, and metallic plating the structure.

Abstract: A multiple thermocouple comprising a conductive open-cellular foam matrix, a portion of which forms a first pole with a plurality of discrete conductors of a different material from the foam matrix embedded in the foam having a portion of each of the discrete conductors being exposed on the insides of the cells of the foam forming a plurality of thermocouples. The remaining surface area inside the foam's cells not having an exposed discrete conductor thereon can be insulated. A second pole member is provided. Means to contact the discrete conductors in the foam and convey current produced by the thermocouples to the second pole of the thermocouple completes the multiple thermocouple. Such means to contact the discrete conductors may provide the heat to excite the thermocouples or such heat can come from other sources.

Abstract: An ultra-light structure is produced by continuously molding a green sand core, forming a material in the mold pattern in the core which solidifies to form a solidified framework, removing the green sand core and wrapping the resultant solidified framework structure in a material.

Abstract: A system of electro-forming by creating the shape to be electro-formed of a polystyrene or other material. The formed shape is then coated with a carbonizable resin and then carbonized, vaporizing the internal form to create a shell which is then metal-plated to form the desired structure.

Abstract: A coil comprising a carbon filament winding with fused particulate insulative coating therearound and method of producing such carbon filament coil.

Abstract: A toy for use by one or more players utilizing magnetic repulsion and attraction consisting of a casing, a pivotal member rotatably mounted on top of the casing having a plurality of apertures in its periphery into which are inserted one or more pivotal member rods each having a bar magnet rotatably mounted at its end. Extending from the casing below the pivotal member are one or more lower rods each having a bar magnet mounted at its end positioned in such a way that when the pivotal member revolves, the bar magnet on the pivotal member rod passes directly over the bar magnet mounted on the lower rod. When both the pivotal member bar magnet and the lower rod bar magnet have like poles in close proximity, magnetic repulsion will cause the pivotal member to revolve.
