Abstract: A mechanical coupler that separates at a pre-determined ambient pressure.

Abstract: A container connector for interconnecting a pair of shipping containers to n essence form a single container of a larger size. There are to be utilized a plurality of these container connectors to secure together a pair of shipping containers. Each container connector comprises a grab bar and a position bar. Interconnecting the grab bar and position bar are a pair of threaded bolts. The threaded bolts are to be operable independently so that the position bar can be located at a skewed angle relative to the grab bar during installation of the container connector. Once the grab bar and the position bar are correctly installed, the bolts are rotated to cause the position bar to be moved in an outward direction from the grab bar to cause the grab bar to tightly engage with the side wall of a pair of aligned openings formed within the shipping containers which are located in a closely spaced, almost abutting, relationship.

Abstract: Supercorroding magnesium alloys that operate like galvanic cells and react apidly and predictably with seawater to produce heat and hydrogen gas. The alloys are formed by a mechanical process that bonds magnesium and noble metal powder particles together in a strong electrical and mechanical bond. The alloy powders can be compacted and sintered to form barstock, etc., suitable for making self-destructing corroding links.

The alloy powders can be sintered to form barstock, etc., suitable for self-contained corroding links.

Abstract: Micro electrochemical cells which utilize an intimate mixture of active and assive metals are reacted with seawater for producing heat and hydrogen gas for use as a heat source, energy source, or buoyancy generator for use in remote areas.

Abstract: A wear resistant and impact tolerant plow blade comprising a plurality of ternate layers of wear resistant and impact resistant materials. Each layer extends from the leading edges of the plow blade rearwardly and is fabricated of a homogeneous material. Each layer has substantially parallel sides and abuts an adjacent layer or layers to form a substantially seamless plow.
