Patent number: 5288177Abstract: Various silicone materials, which have a low order of toxicity to fish, birds, and wildlife; and which slowly degrade to carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide in the environment, may be used to treat local soils to make them permanently oleophillic. These soils can then be used to minimize, consolidate, and clean up oily spills. Because local soils are used and only minor amounts of chemicals are required, the cost of cleanup is drastically lowered while response time is much quicker.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1992Date of Patent: February 22, 1994Inventors: Richard H. Montgomery, Ramon E. Bisque, John W. Ryan

Patent number: 4753035Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of crosslinkable silicone materials to coat botanic seeds, seedlings, meristematic tissue and plant embryos for their protection and to promote germination. The crosslinkable silicone materials are coated onto the seeds, seedlings, meristematic tissues or plant embryos and crosslinked to cure them. The silicone coatings of the present invention on the surface of the seeds, seedlings, meristematic tissues or plant embryos provide antifungal protection and can be used to carry entrapped plant adjuvants to the site of germination. The crosslinked silicone coatings are permeable to water vapor and oxygen and allow sunlight to pass through to the germinating seed.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1987Date of Patent: June 28, 1988Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: John W. Ryan, Donnie R. Juen

Patent number: 4200287Abstract: An improved remotely controlled miniature vehicle, more particularly an electrically driven miniature car of the type operated on a track-way having contact strips through which power is supplied to the driving motor of the vehicle. Improved remote control is provided for controlling the miniature car for changing one lane to another. The front wheels are steerable by actuation of a steering post. The driving motor is mounted to move physically in response to additional driving torque applied through a gear train to the rear wheels. Mechanism is provided whereby the physical movement of the driving motor actuates the steering mechanism to turn the front wheels for changing from one lane to another. Provided in one form of the invention is a member having rollers that can contact a side wall of the track for positioning the front wheels and steering post to pre-determine the direction of turning in response to physical movement of the driving motor.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1978Date of Patent: April 29, 1980Assignee: Ideal Toy CorporationInventors: John W. Ryan, James D. Moore

Patent number: 4155197Abstract: A toy vehicle is provided for use in a toy vehicle game including an endless track defining at least two parallely extending vehicle lanes in which two or more toy vehicles are adapted to be operated. The toy vehicles each include a reversible rotary drive motor and a transmission operatively engaged between the motor and two drive wheels for rotating one or the other of the drive wheels in response to the direction of rotation of the drive motor, thereby biasing the car against one or the other of the side walls of the track to guide the vehicle along its path of travel in one or the other of the lanes. The track includes electrical contact strips which supply power to the drive motor of the vehicles through current collectors mounted thereon.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 1977Date of Patent: May 22, 1979Assignee: Ideal Toy CorporationInventors: Janos Beny, James D. Moore, John W. Ryan

Patent number: 4073088Abstract: The subject doll includes a body, a head rotatably mounted on the body, and a pair of arms having hands formed thereon being articulatedly mounted on the body. A drive mechanism is located within the body for simultaneously rotating the doll's head through a predetermined angle to face towards one side of the body and for moving the arms from a first raised position wherein the hands are spaced from one another at about the level of the shoulders of the body to a second position wherein the hands are positioned adjacent each other near the midriff of the body. When the doll is positioned on a play surface, on its midriff with the doll's hands in their first position, the movements of the doll's head and its hands to their second position will cause the center of gravity of the doll to shift. The doll will then tip over in a direction opposite to the direction in which the doll's head faces in its turned position and thus roll over on its back.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1976Date of Patent: February 14, 1978Assignee: Ideal Toy CorporationInventors: Janos Beny, John W. Ryan, Edward Snyder, III

Patent number: 4023424Abstract: The derailleur is mounted inboard as respects the bicycle frame. It is aligned with the rear drive sprockets. The take-up cage carrying sprocket wheels over which the slack part of the chain passes is carried on an actuating rod or stem, which engages a positioning means which provides for positive transfer of the chain from one drive sprocket to another, and for positive alignment of the take-up means and drive chain with individual drive sprockets. The positioning means is in the form of overlying plates, having overlying slots configurated to positively guide the stem carrying the take-up cage to assure the positive transfer of the drive chain, and positive alignment with individual drive sprockets.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1975Date of Patent: May 17, 1977Inventors: John W.
