Abstract: An improved implementation of a 2×4 divider formed from a bridge junction is described. The bridge junction uses parallel and series connections of coaxial lines to eliminate impedance transformers that are normally required in a 2×4 power divider. In a preferred embodiment, the bridge junction is comprised of UT-085 coax transmission lines, 20 gauge twin lead wire and SB-805-61 ferrite beads with ½ turn windings to provide a wide bandwidth, compact, high power and rugged arrangement.

Abstract: A supplemental, overflow-catching shell 10 for a common oil or fuel filter 14 which surrounds the body of the filter 14 and captures otherwise lost oil or fuel upon removal of the filter 14 from a motor or other machinery. The shell 10 may be made of a rigid material and may have a flange 12 at its top of flexible, resilient material like rubber. The shell 10 may also be made of a flexible material and may be open at the top and closed at the bottom or may be open at both ends with a flexible, resilient-cincture sealing band 16 at the bottom and a flexible flange 12 at the top.

Abstract: A machine for washing paint tools based on a vertically elongated square box of rigid transparent plastic comprising a housing (10) and a gasketed housing lid (12). Housing (10) is about sixty centimeters high at the back and about forty-two centimeters high at the front. The other two sides are about forty-two centimeters high for about half their distance from front to back then rise sharply to meet the back at its top. Bottom of lid (12) conforms to top contour of housing (10). Lid (12) is hinged at the top of the back side of housing (10), and has a handle (18) and seat (20) on its front side. On the front of housing (10) is a vertically adjustable roller handle seat (22) held perpendicular to the side of housing (10) by two seat guides (24) each in the shape of a square tube with two adjacent sides missing and closed ends.
