Abstract: A wheel trolley assembly that enables easier and more efficient tire rotation is provided. Various service stations, one of which includes the wheel trolley assembly, are arranged sequentially one after the other by means of a series of conveyor means, each positioned in a manner which allows them to rotate independently of one another, while at the same time facilitating the transfer of vehicles from one station to the next. The wheel trolley assembly and series of independently-moving conveyors greatly increase the efficiency and speed of vehicle service, thereby increasing the volume of vehicles which can be serviced as well as customer satisfaction levels.

Abstract: A heat and sound barrier panel comprising an upper pane (1) with downward flanges (4) to its four sides and a lower pane (2) with upward flanges to its four sides (5) separated by insulating rods (3) of sufficient height to leave a gap (6) between the upper (4) and lower (5) flanges with the gap (6) hermetically sealed with a perimeter film (7) and the enclosed space evacuated to less than 1 Pa.

Abstract: A vacuum panel using internal or external bracing strips to provide a substantially flat sound barrier capable of very high sound rejection independent of frequency.

Abstract: A device for releasably fastening up to four adjacent slab corners to a support wall or ceiling. The device is positioned at a common point of adjacency of a number of slabs. A locking disk having a quadrant notch is rotatively mounted orthogonally to the surface of the slabs, and engages or disengages slots cap in the thickness of the slabs according to the angular orientation of the disk. The device is capped by a decorative rosette having an appendage projecting loop bracket shaped and dimensioned to accommodate a bud vase. The device is particularly indicated for fastening slabs used to cover adjacent funerary crypts.

Abstract: A CM system for the defense of aircraft against missile attack leverages nanocrystal technology to provide safe and reliable protection. The CM system generally includes one or more ground-based laser emitter subsystems, one or more ground-based Doppler-sensitive radar subsystems, an aircraft-based nanocrystal dispenser subsystem, and an engagement control subsystem that governs the operation of the CM system. In response to the detection of a missile within an attack envelope, the engagement control subsystem instructs the dispenser subsystem to release nanocrystals into an area proximate the aircraft. In addition, the engagement control subsystem instructs one or more of the laser emitter subsystems to direct an excitation signal at the dispensed nanocrystal “cloud” to thereby cause the nanocrystals to emit infrared radiation that approximates that of jet engine exhaust.

Abstract: In apparatus for coulometric analysis provision is made for an automatic change of electrolyte in the event of certain forms of analytical failure.

Abstract: Apparatus for coulometry comprises (a) an instrumentation amplifier acting as a differential to single-ended potential convertor having high input impedence, (b) means for feeding (a) with the potential between the sensor and reference electrodes of a coulometric cell and (c) and differential potential input amplifier fed by (a) and by means for setting the output of (c) to zero, the phase shift of the apparatus being less than 90.degree..

Abstract: A process is provided for freeing cellulose fibers from lignocellulosic material, which comprises subjecting particulate lignocellulosic material to irradiation at a frequency within the range from about 10 to about 300,000 MHz (megahertz), at an intensity of at least 0.5 megajoule per kg. of material, applied in a short pulse having a duration of at most 0.1 second, at such an intensity the water present in the lignocellulosic material is rapidly and even explosively vaporized, and disrupts or destroys the natural structure of the lignocellulosic material, thereby freeing the fibers substantially without deleterious effect upon the length or strength of the fibers.
