  • Patent number: 8066950
    Abstract: An improved exhaust system and catalytic converter element for a diesel engine wherein the improvement comprises: holding means for restricting the movement of catalytic converter elements in an overhead exhaust manifold; an improved catalytic converter element having at least one retaining rod extending through the catalyst substrate and/or having at least one retaining lip projecting into the substrate; a stabilizer projecting from the cover for the element insertion slot for receiving an end portion of the catalytic converter element to restrict the movement of the converter element in the exhaust manifold; perforated flow distribution elements provided upstream of the catalytic converter elements; and/or vertical coupling manifolds which each receive exhaust from a pair of engine cylinders and then deliver the combined exhaust stream to a separate one of the inlet openings in the bottom of the overhead exhaust manifold.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6715603
    Abstract: A dental care kit assembly having a plurality of operative components such as one or more dental floss assemblies and a cleaning implement located within separated areas or compartments of a container. The container has a substantially flat, predetermined, reduced size configuration, closely corresponding to the size of a conventional credit card thereby enabling it to be conveniently carried on the person of a user. The reduced size container and the various components contained therein may be structured to be disposable after a single or a limited number of uses or alternatively may be of a more permanent structure capable of being used over a more extended period of time.

  • Patent number: 6467706
    Abstract: A process for recovering thermoplastic polymer particles from an expanded thermoplastic polymer material includes grinding the expanded thermoplastic polymer material in a grinding chamber under elevated temperature while feeding ionized gas through the grinding chamber during the grinding. An apparatus for recovering the thermoplastic polymer particles from the expanded thermoplastic polymer material includes a grinding chamber into which the expanded thermoplastic polymer material is introduced, the grinding chamber having grinding components therein, one or more inlet passages at a bottom potion of the grinding chamber for entry of ionized gas, and optionally also for entry of hot gas, and one or more outlet passages at a top portion of the grinding chamber for exit of gases from the grinding chamber.
