  • Patent number: 9623047
    Abstract: A composition to moderate excessive and potentially harmful gastric acid levels in the gastrointestinal tract of horses is disclosed. The composition includes calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide, which may be in combination with various buffers and other ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium bentonite, sodium sesquicarbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid sources, simple carbohydrates, and/or probiotics. A method of administering the composition is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4515614
    Abstract: A conditioning section of a forehearth is disclosed with sidewall electrodes for Joule effect heating of glass positioned and connected to confine the current and Joule effect heating separately to the side portions of the molten glass flow path therein. Separate circuits, controls, temperature sensors and temperature set point control means are provided for the sidewall electrodes on each side. Glass temperature across the flow path is controlled and can be adjusted by separately controlling the flow of Joule effect current along each side of the flow path through manual or automatic, thermally actuated, controls for each side.

  • Patent number: 4283215
    Abstract: A mold assembly and method for automatically making crown bottom blown glassware wherein a charge of molten glass is shaped into a hollow preform in a parison mold by means of a plunger. The hollow preform or parison is removed from the parison mold and placed in a finishing mold having a bottom forming assembly comprised of an annular member slidably contained in the bottom end of the finish mold and a domed central member slidably mounted in the annular member such that it can be reciprocated from a normally retracted position level with or slightly below the top surface of the annular member to a position above that surface.

  • Patent number: 4227909
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for preventing the formation of blisters in an electrically-heated forehearth that utilizes submerged electrodes connected to either a single or plural phase alternating current source. The electrodes are arranged so that Joule effect heating is effected by passing alternating current through the molten glass with the center tap of the secondary of the power transformer being connected to the positive side of a Direct Current source through a filter, while the negative side of the DC source is connected to a counter electrode, immersed in the glass at a point upstream of the forehearth.With this physical arrangement, the formation of blisters due to free electrons migrating to and collecting on some of the electrodes that are at different potentials than the others is prevented.
