Abstract: A golf sandal for providing comfort, stability, and superior traction. More specifically, a golf sandal having an outsole and midsole made of polyurethane, a gap between the outsole and the midsole, a strap having a central portion located in the gap between the outsole and midsole and ends that secure to each other, and a plurality of soft spikes on the bottom of the outsole, wherein each soft spike is the shape of a webbed foot. The soft spikes enable a wearer to have better traction compared to existing golf sandals.

Abstract: Described is a glow plug with a glow pencil that comprises a forward end with a glow tip and a rearward end, a housing in which the rearward end of the glow pencil is arranged and in relation to which the glow pencil is movable in its longitudinal direction, and a bellows that is connected to the housing and the glow pencil. According to this disclosure, it is provided that a forward end of the bellows is attached to the housing and a rearward end of the bellows is attached to the glow pencil.

Abstract: A combustion chamber pressure gauge for an internal combustion engine, comprising a housing tube, a plunger, which is movable in an axial direction in the housing tube under the effect of combustion chamber pressure against a restoring force, and comprising a seal, which is disposed between the plunger and the housing tube, and comprising a sensor for detecting an axial displacement of the plunger. The sensor is decoupled from thermally induced expansions or contractions of the housing tube, in that the sensor is attached to a carrier, which is suspended in the housing tube, and the plunger is movable relative to the carrier under the effect of combustion chamber pressure.

Abstract: Disclosed is a processes for the production of relatively high purity alkaline earth metal oxides, such as SrO, from relatively low purity forms of carbonated or other oxygenated forms of such metals, such as strontium carbonate. The relatively low purity material is exposed to conditions under which at least a portion of the metal contained therein is converted to a salt that is more readily solvated in a provided solvent than the starting material, while at the same time not substantially increasing the solubility of at least one or more of the impurities in such selected solvent. This step is then preferably followed by removal of solid or otherwise un-dissolved impurities from the solution. After the removal step, the solution is preferably exposed to conditions effective to form a relatively insoluble salt of the alkaline earth metal, such as a strontium salt. The insoluble salt is also preferably one that can be readily and effectively converted to the desired alkaline earth metal oxide, preferably SrO.
