Abstract: A solder sleeve for connecting a wire to another wire or to a terminal device is formed from an alloy comprised of 42 percent tin and 58 percent bismuth that has a eutectic melt point of approximately 138° C. The wire receiving portion, at least one side of the solder sleeve is in the form of a hollow tubular member that is extruded so as to lack a longitudinal seam, the opposing side may be in one of many forms. A thermochromic dye is mixed in with a flux layer located on a portion of the outer surface of the solder sleeve, the dye designed to change from a first color to a second color at the same temperature as the melting point of the alloy. The solder sleeve may be held within a heat shrink tube.

Abstract: Apparatus for separating gases and liquids comprise a vessel adapted to receive a mixture of gas and liquid and consisting of an upper tank (1) and a lower tank (2) which are interconnected by a plurality of tubes (3, 4, 5). A first one (3) of these tubes is centrally located in the upper wall of the lower tank (2) and the remaining tubes (4 and 5) are equi-spaced on either side of the central tube (3) and are also located in the upper wall of the lower tank (2). A gas/liquid mixture is introduced into the upper tank (1) via an inlet nozzle (8) and baffles (9) aid in separating liquid. The separated gas can be collected from an outlet (12) while the liquid passes down the tubes into the lower tank (2). The level of liquid in the lower tank is adjusted so that the liquid extends up into the tubes (3, 4, 5).
