Abstract: Automatically processing secure containers housing valuable documents includes receiving a secure container in a secure container processing unit, opening the secure container using an extraction module operatively coupled to the secure container processing unit, removing the valuable documents from the secure container using the extraction module, transferring the valuable documents to an external processing apparatus, and closing the secure container using the extraction module.

Abstract: An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding gasket. The gasket is formed as having a resilient core member of an indefinite length which is sheathed in an electrically conductive fiber mesh member. A thermoplastic member is incorporated within the fiber mesh member for consolidating at least a portion of the fiber mesh member. The consolidation is effective to maintain the integrity of the fiber mesh member at an end of the gasket when the gasket is terminated to a determinable length.

Abstract: Method of terminating at least one end of an EMI shielding gasket having an indefinite length. A resilient core member of an indefinite length is sheathed within an electrically conductive fiber mesh member. A thermoplastic member is incorporated within the conductive fiber mesh member, and then is heated to effect its melting which, in turn, effects the consolidation of at least a portion of the fiber mesh member. The gasket so formed then is terminated to a determinable length having an end through a consolidated portion of the fiber mesh member. The consolidated portion is effective to maintain the integrity of the fiber mesh member at the terminated end.

Abstract: A rotatable holding rack to facilitate the process of cleaning reusable washable cartridge filters, such as those filters commonly used with swimming pool filtration systems. A vertically positioned cartridge filter is securely mounted onto a rotatable wash rack and is held in a stationary mode as the frontally exposed area is washed clean by a hand-held jet-nozzeled water hose. The filter unit is then revolved to the next selected frontal exposure, by rotating a finned circular flat platform to which the filter unit is attached, by redirecting the water-force of the hand-held hose to rotatable platform fins.

Abstract: An apparatus for chlorinating water of a swimming pool. The device includes a main unit that is inserted into a cannister containing water; the main unit including a perforated barrel with a membrane therearound. The barrel containing salt and a gas collection dome fitted on top of the barrel, having a perforated downward shroud containing anode elements connected by wiring to an exterior electric power source; the anode elements extending into the salt and water, and a gas discharge outlet line extending from the dome.
