Abstract: A connector that couples a leg of one object to a leg of a second object to prevent relative translation motion between these two objects and that does not transmit substantial vibrational energy between these objects. This connector is attached at a base of each object and is preferably attached to a pad of damping material at the base of each object.

Abstract: This invention relates to water soluble crayon compositions which are comprised of (i) one or more water soluble alkoxylation products and (ii) a coloring agent, and to crayons produced therefrom. This invention also relates to processes for the production of water soluble crayon compositions and for the manufacture of crayons.

Abstract: This invention relates to water soluble crayon compositions which are comprised of (i) one or more water soluble block polymers characterized by an ABCBA structure and (ii) a coloring agent, and to crayons produced therefrom.

Abstract: The gauge has a plurality of laterally spaced pairs of hollowed frustrums. Each pair of frustrums is spaced in accordance with the distance between the lugs comprising standard lug patterns on existing hubs and wheels of automobiles. The hollowed frustrums may be placed over adjacent lugs on the hub of an automobile to determine the actual spacing therebetween. Furthermore, the frustrums may be inserted in adjacent openings in automobile wheels to determine that spacing and thereby enable the user to match a wheel to the hub upon which it fits.
