Abstract: A drink sample apparatus having an elongated stick, an indicia of the drink mixture marked on said stirring stick, a small mixture of an mixed drink or oil extract of the same, an edible bond to affix or cover said small mixture of an alcohol drink to said stirring stick that functions to provide a sample taste of a drink or beverage before making the decision to purchase the drink or beverage.

Abstract: A comprehensive and independent unit for the treatment of Effluents or Sewage and the system that uses it. This unit requires little space and it has a high capacity to mitigate effluent parameters. This treatment is performed by means of a single reactor which carries out the electrocoagulation, electro flocculation, electro flotation, electrooxidation and electrohydrolization and it drains in a high performance decanter which is a single container. The unit is composed of a reactor (4) that sends its clotted effluents into a decanter (5) and its foam into a foam collector (6). The decanter (5) is placed adjacent to the foam collector (6) and has the capacity to discharge its foam into the collector (6); the whole process is carried out without the need for any auxiliary recirculation devices.

Abstract: A plurality of dosage-control members are detachably connected to the plunger rod of a multi-dose syringe along two opposing sides of the rod. Each dosage-control member has a cut in which the external diameter of the top rim of the syringe fits to prevent forward and reverse movement of the rod. Removal of one dosage-control member from one of the two opposing sides of the rod permits forward movement of the rod and plunger until the top rim snaps into the cut of another dosage-control member. Flexible salient arms extend obliquely from the rod in one-to-one correspondence with the dosage-control members to prevent reverse movement of the rod.

Abstract: The subject of the disclosure concerns C8 or higher, linear or branched fatty chain (meth)acrylic polymers possibly containing at least one ethylene unsaturation, having a weight average molecular weight Mw of less than 20,000 g/mole, free of sulphur-containing, metallic and halogenated compounds and with a residual monomer content measured by GPC of no more than 10% by weight, preferably no more than 7% by weight. A further subject of the disclosure is the synthesis method and the uses of these polymers.

Abstract: A finless mortar tube made of a superalloy includes, seriatim, a breech end, a beginning taper point, an ending taper point, a lower clamp region, an upper clamp region, and a muzzle end. The nominal wall thickness of the tube is constant from forward of the breech end to the beginning taper point and the nominal wall thickness of the tube decreases from the beginning taper point to the ending taper point. The mortar tube is capable of a substantial increase in the rate of fire compared to conventional mortar tubes.

Abstract: A cooling fin for a mortar tube comprises a plurality of discrete nibs disposed on an external surface of the mortar tube wherein the nibs are arranged in longitudinal rows spaced circumferentially around the mortar tube. Preferably, the number of longitudinal rows of nibs is thirty-six. The nibs have a substantially square cross-section.

Abstract: The invention relates to a syringe for administering multiple doses of a medicinal substance contained therein, consisting of: a cylindrical tube (1) comprising an injection opening (3) and a mouth (2) and a longitudinally-mobile drive plunger (4), and an actuation rod (5) for connecting to the plunger, said rod (5) being equipped with detachable dose-limiting means (6) which project out from the rod such as to exceed the inside diameter of the tube in order to prevent the forward movement of the rod and the plunger inside the tube. In addition, mouth-limiting means (7, 70) co-operate with locking means (8, 60) such as to prevent the reverse movement of the rod. When closed, the injection opening (3) is provided with an elastomer seal (9) which can be perforated with a sharp element.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a demountable tire rim assembly having a spare inner wheel which permits running during the run flat condition. The demountable tire rim includes two complementary annular parts provided with reciprocal threaded coupling members on the perimeter of the annular parts which include threaded and non-threaded sectors which are structurally arranged to secure the annular parts together.

Abstract: A canister vacuum cleaner comprises a base, a recovery tank, and a clean solution tank. The vacuum cleaner can be used for dry vacuuming, wet vacuuming, and can distribute cleaning solution to a floor surface and has means for a fluid distribution system and a recovery system. The clean solution tank can be filled with a cleaning solution for distribution to a floor surface and the recovery tank is used for collecting dry or liquid matter recovered from vacuuming.

Abstract: A finless mortar tube is made of a superalloy. The superalloy is based on one of cobalt, iron and nickel. The finless mortar tube has an integrally formed blast attenuation device. The mortar tube may be 60, 81 or 120 mm. The mortar tube is capable of a substantial increase in the rate of fire compared to conventional mortar tubes.

Abstract: The present invention is an anchoring device for fastening laces which includes a structure having a supporting base and a pair of overlapping throat members which hold sections of the fastening lace. The bottom throat member forms a reel and includes retention ledges which retain a winding section of the lace that is wrapped about the reel. The upper throat member forms a reel having retention ledges which retain a winding section of the lace that may be wrapped about the reel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rim member having an internal support member associated with the rim member. The internal support member includes an outer peripheral surface having an annular groove with the groove having a transverse passageway to permit a tire to be mounted onto the rim member. The transverse passageway consists of two angular positions which communicate through an intermediate section on the internal support member. The invention also relates to a tire construction having an internal rolling surface which engages the outer peripheral surface of the internal support member during the run-flat condition.
