Abstract: A rotary screen printing apparatus for delivering coating fluid from the inside of a print cylinder through patterned openings onto an adjacent advancing substrate, having a print cylinder support frame, a drive mechanism for rotatably driving the print cylinder, a resilient suspension device for supporting the print cylinder at high rotational speeds, an adjacent radiant heater for generating heat energy for absorption by the print cylinder, an enclosure substantially surrounding the print cylinder and confining the radiated heat therein, at least one infrared sensor for sensing heat emitted from the print cylinder, and a control circuit for controlling the radiant heat energy from the heater in response to the sensed emitted radiant energy, about a manually controlled set point.

Abstract: A rotary screen printing device for delivering coating fluid from the inside of a print cylinder through patterned openings onto an adjacent advancing substrate has a print cylinder support frame, a ring-shaped major idler having its periphery retained in rolling contact supported by several minor idlers near each side member of the support frame for rotation about the print cylinder's axis, a plurality of swiveling hooked torque rods, slidably mounted for axial movement at spaced intervals around each major idler, having a hooked inner end facing the opposite major idler, and a resilient mounting urging the hooked end toward its supporting major idler, and a pair of end rings, each secured in telescoped relationship inside one end of the print cylinder, with notches being formed at spaced intervals in the inner periphery of each ring for alignment with the swiveling hooked torque rods of a major idler.

Abstract: A continuous separator for a pressurized mixture of fluids of different densities based on a progressively increasing centrifugal force acting on the mixture to successively separate fluids in the order of their densities beginning with the densest fluid. A wide range of fluid volumns and fluid mixes can be efficiently and economically separated.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for increasing the power output of an impeller which is mounted in a stream of free flowing fluid, such as water or air. A portion of the free flowing fluid is received by the impeller and some of the portion leaves the impeller and is caused re-enter the free stream at an angle of intersection of not less than 35.degree. but less than 75.degree.. When designed for operation under water, buoyancy chambers are sized and positioned to negate gravitational stresses and distortions when submerged to thereby reduce cost and improve performance.

Abstract: The specific disclosure provides a safety razor comprising a cap member having a planar skin abutting upper surface defining a first plane for guiding the shaver over skin surfaces while shaving. A blade has a cutting edge at one end thereof in a second plane and extends from beneath the cap member. The first and second planes intersect at an angle of between about 15.degree. to about 25.degree.. A blade seat member is located beneath the blade and has a blade seat surface in contact with the blade and a plurality of spaced elements extending outwardly from beneath the cutting edge.

Abstract: A method of achieving gas induced production of liquid from wells wherein the wells have a production tubing string extending to a production formation wherein such wells may have insufficient gas production for achieving continuous production of liquids from such wells. The method includes establishing a liquid accumulation chamber being located downstream of a gas accumulation chamber and being in communication with the tubing string, while the gas accumulation chamber is in communication with the production formation. Liquid from the production formation is produced by maintaining a condition of predetermined low flow of gas and liquid produced from the production formation. The method includes accumulating a predetermined quantity of liquid within the liquid accumulation chamber during the predetermined low flow condition, while simultaneously accumulating a quantity of gas within the gas accumulation chamber.

Abstract: A low pressure drop adjustable choke has a variably adjustable tapered annular port for metering flow of a fluid. The annular port is defined by a tapered plug extending through a mating, correspondingly tapered seat. The area of the port is selectively varied by axial movement of the plug relative to the seat. The device is mechanically adjustable to a selected flow rate, which may be indicated on a precision indicator.

Abstract: This specification discloses a method and apparatus for plating a surface wherein a conductive anode body is spaced from a cathodic work surface by non-conductive particles carried in the anode body. The non-conductive particles closely space the anode from the cathodic surface, activate the cathodic surface to increase the plating rate, and may be utilized to carry out a honing or burnishing operation on the work surface.
