Abstract: A purge solution for removing water-based dehydrated paint residues from a paint delivery system includes 2-15 total weight percent of a purge concentrate diluted with solvent. The concentrate includes 20-99.5 total weight percent of a C4 alcohol or an alkoxylated C4 alcohol, and 0.5-30 total weight percent of an amine.

Abstract: The construction of an electromagnetic device, such as an electric motor, has a segmented stator with a plurality of stator teeth held in a circular pattern solely by a shell of the motor that has been hot dropped over the stator teeth.

Abstract: A paint-stripping composition comprises, on a weight basis, at least 20% of a benzyl alcohol, together with 5-30% of methylene chloride, 1-10% of hydrogen peroxide and 10-60% of water. The composition may also include auxiliary ingredients such as thickeners, evaporation retardants, surfactants, pH control agents, accelerators, corrosion inhibitors, preservatives, coloring agents, and fragrances.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for preparing tissue samples for DNA, RNA or protein extraction of the present invention includes a reciprocating saw mounted to a frame and connected to a plurality of tissue sample containers containing tissue samples and agitation members. By activating the reciprocating saw, the tissue samples are ground by the agitation members. A control circuit is connected to the saw for controlling the speed and duration of the agitation.

Abstract: A paint stripping composition includes a peroxide, water and an organic solvent. The composition has a near-neutral pH. The solvents may include benzyl alcohol and/or cyclohexane dimethanol, and the peroxide may comprise hydrogen peroxide or urea peroxide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high vibration electrical connector. Included in the connector is a receptacle that is preferably integral with a surface of an electrical component. The receptacle includes a securing wedge and an electrical pin. Also included in the electrical connector is a vibration dampening pad and a plug. The plug includes a fastening bar and a securing notch that engages with the securing wedge when said plug is inserted in said receptacle. The plug also includes a plug cap 105 to help seal the plug from external contaminants.

Abstract: An operator-controlled lever is adapted to actuate a push-pull cable for reciprocating the valve spool of a transmission control. A bracket is detachably mounting on a housing of the transmission control and is threadably mounted on a sheath of the cable. Upon assembly, the cable is first attached to the spool and then the bracket is threaded inwardly against the housing of the transmission control and attached thereto.

Abstract: A steering column is pivotally fastened to a support structure and pivots between an operating position and a transmission locking position. A steering wheel is rotatably supported at the upper end of the steering column while a transmission shift lever is fastened at one side of the steering column and shiftable between a forward speed position, a neutral position and a reverse speed position. A latching mechanism is carried by the steering column and is engageable with one of a plurality of notches formed in a positioning rack secured to the support structure for latching the steering column in the transmission locking position and engageable with another of the notches for latching the steering column in the operating position. A transmission locking member is secured to the support structure and extends towards the transmission shift lever for abutment therewith when the steering column is in the transmission locking position for locking the transmission shift lever in the neutral position.
