Abstract: A hermetic pressure connector which provides a pressure-tight, electrically conductive connection through a hole in a bulkhead. The connector includes a transverse support member having a high pressure side and an opposite low pressure side. A passage extends through the transverse support member between the opposite sides. A conductor pin having an axial portion extends through the passage. An insulating sleeve surrounds at least the axial portion of the conductor pin, thereby electrically insulating the transverse support member from the conductor pin. A molded connected body surrounds at least a central portion of the conductor pin at least at one of the high and low pressure sides to thereby mechanically support the conductor pin in the passage. The molded connector body is directly sealingly engaged with the conductor pin, the insulating sleeve and the transverse support member.

Abstract: An air diffusing vacuum transport belt including a first perforated layer and a second non-perforated layer is provided for transporting image carrying substrates without vacuum belt induced image defects. The first perforated layer includes a top surface and a bottom surface, solid areas, and perforated hole areas interspersing the solid areas for directing pressurized airflow from the top surface through to the bottom surface. The air diffusing vacuum transport belt also includes a second non-perforated layer formed over the top surface of the first perforated layer and covering the solid areas and the perforated hole areas. The second non-perforated layer has an inner surface positioned over the top surface of the first perforated layer, and an outer surface for uniformly supporting substrates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device which prevents an automobile engine starter from engaging once an engine is running by using the running engine vacuum to cause the starter circuit to open.

Abstract: A spill container advantageously adapted for use in conjunction with a conventional aquarium is provided. The spill container comprises a receptacle for receiving leaking fluid, and a flexible water-proof compartment for receiving a flow of fluid from the receptacle. The receptacle comprises a containing wall defining a hollow fluid-trapping vessel, an inlet opening for receiving the leaking fluid, and an outlet opening connecting the receptacle to the flexible water-proof compartment.

Abstract: An article of manufacture is disclosed for cleansing the skin with improved effectiveness. A soft, flexible web having a low density wiping zone works in concert with a lipophilic cleansing emollient to remove soil from the skin with improved effectiveness. The lipophilic cleansing emollient reduces dehydration of the soil and weakens the soil-skin adhesive forces while the low density wiping zone of the web entraps and thus removes the soil from the skin.
