Abstract: An assembly of parts has a first metal part having a first surface having a corrosion resistant surface treatment and a second surface being free of corrosion resistant surface treatment, a second metal part having a third surface having a corrosion resistant surface treatment and a fourth surface being free of corrosion resistant surface treatment. The second metal part defines a recess that defines the fourth surface. The first and third surfaces are in contact. A conductive member is disposed at least in part in the recess and is in contact with the second and fourth surfaces. A sealing member disposed in the recess around the conductive member. A sacrificial anode is mounted and conductively connected to one of the first and second metal parts.

Abstract: A weighing apparatus including a load receiving platform, a dial, and a moving indicator. The dial includes a face bearing various indicia for indicating the weight of a load placed upon the platform. A magnifier is operatively associated with the indicator for magnifying only a limited portion of the face of the dial in proximity to the indicator. A lamp, carried by the indicator, illuminates a limited portion of the face of the dial in proximity to the indicator. A switch actuates the lamp upon placement of a load upon the platform.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for producing foamed articles, such as seat cushions for a riding lawn mower or the like, which method includes the steps of providing a mold having at least two separable, electrically insulated mold sections, which, when positioned together in a molding position, cooperate to define a molding chamber having the shape of the article, providing each mold section with a separate radio frequency electrode, introducing a foamable and heat curable material into the mold cavity, and applying a radio frequency voltage across the electrodes, and thus through the foamable and heat curable material, after the mold sections are positioned together in a molding position. The resultant internal heating of the material rapidly cures the material to a hardened condition and without generating high internal pressure forces inside the molding chamber.
