Abstract: The present invention relates to a food fryer. The food frying apparatus generally comprises two sections: a frying section and an oil removal section. The frying section houses and/or heats oil for frying the food, and the oil removal section is operable to reduce the oil content of the food. Exemplary embodiments of the invention comprise a basket well that is configured to be movable between a cooking section and a spinning section. The basket well may be configured to comprise a bearing surface and a basket well gear. The fryer device may further comprise a frame that comprise a bearing configured to interface with the bearing surface. Further, the fryer device may comprise a rotational motor that comprises a spinning gear configured to interface with the basket well gear. The fryer device may also comprise a drawer configured to be slidably removable from the fryer device. The fryer device may also comprise a retrofit fryer device configured to be adaptable to pre-existing fryer devices.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a food fryer. The food fryer comprises a frying section where the food is fried in oil and an oil removal section where the oil content of the food is reduced. A basket located within the apparatus contains the food and is movable between the two sections. At least one motor is operable to remove oil content from the food and to move the basket between the two sections, and a controller communicates with the motor and other elements of the apparatus to facilitate the frying of the food. Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide methods for minimizing a cooling rate of the cooked food to prevent oil from gathering in the center of the cooked food and to increase the desirability of the cooked food. A cover that is sealably connected to the food frying apparatus aids in maintaining a temperature in the frying and oil removal environments that is higher than room temperature.

Abstract: A portable water container includes a body defining a reservoir, a replaceable filter housed in a storage compartment of the body, and a connection assembly. The assembly connects a water supply source to the filter. Pressurized water from the water supply source flows under pressure through the filter and into the water reservoir through an outlet port in the storage compartment. The body is configured to store the connection assembly when not connecting the water faucet to the filter.

Abstract: An airbag module is disposed in the vehicle seat as an anti-submarining airbag module that includes an inflator, or a connection therefor, a tubular airbag, the two free ends of which are folded over at least once transversely relative to the longitudinal direction of the airbag to form loops, and wherein inserted into the loops of the airbag is a clamping member, by means of which the two layers of the folded-over parts of the airbag are brought into contact, to seal the airbag at least partially in a gastight manner.

Abstract: An airbag module has at least a housing and an inflator. The inflator is pushed into a securing device on the housing in a longitudinal direction of the inflator. A first longitudinal end of the inflator abuts against an abutment on the housing. A securing element is inserted into the housing behind a second longitudinal end of the inflator and abuts against the second longitudinal end.

Abstract: Airbag module, in particular disposed in the vehicle seat as an anti-submarining airbag module, comprising an inflator or a connection therefor, a tubular airbag, the two free ends of which are folded over at least once transversely relative to the longitudinal direction of the airbag to form loops, and wherein introducible into the loops of the airbag is a clamping member, by means of which the two layers of the folded-over parts of the airbag are brought into contact, to seal the airbag at least partially in a gastight manner.

Abstract: A method of folding an airbag of an airbag module includes the steps of: arranging the airbag and a base plate on a receiver of a folding device, with the airbag secured to the base plate, and stretching the airbag out. In order to make the device low-cost and to give a reliable procedure, a central portion of the airbag remote from the base plate is secured to a holding device of the folding device, and the airbag is stretched out by pulling the secured central portion by a movement of the holding device relative to the receiver.

Abstract: An airbag for an airbag module is a section of a seamless continuous tube, at least partly gastight with the free ends of the tube closed and in its inflated state essentially maintains its original volume and its original length. An airbag module includes the airbag and an airbag inflator, which is or can be connected with the airbag. The tubular airbag may be installed in either a seat cushion or seat back of a vehicle seat to act as a barrier to a seat occupant sliding out of the seat when the airbag is deployed.

Abstract: An airbag module has at least a housing and an inflator. The inflator is pushed into a securing device on the housing in a longitudinal direction of the inflator. A first longitudinal end of the inflator abuts against an abutment on the housing. A securing element is inserted into the housing behind a second longitudinal end of the inflator and abuts against the second longitudinal end.

Abstract: A sealed, modular downhole antenna for measuring electrical characteristics of wellbore fluids and formations. An antenna includes a thin-walled curved metal tube, which houses coil of a length of conductive wire. The wire may be insulated by an insulating coating, as well as a filler that resides in the tube. The tube includes a coupling gap, to facilitate coupling electromagnetic energy through the tube, to and from the conductive wire. The tube also has a wall opening, for ends of the wire to attach to an adapter-connector. The adapter-connector includes suitable features for modular connection to an electrical cable, electrical connectors, or other electrical equipment. Features of the invention may be provided to ensure that such connection is resistive to the high pressures that are often encountered downhole. In this respect, the tube may be also coated with a sealant layer, to hermetically seal the tube, coupling gap, and junction between the adapter-connector and the tube.

Abstract: An operator's cab for mobile earthworking machines such as drilling rigs, cranes and the like has interchangeable cab doors. One of the doors is flat or planar to reduce the exterior dimensions while the other is expanded or bulged to provide greater interior cab space when operating conditions permit. A hydraulic interlock system restricts certain machine operations when the bulged door is positioned to interfere with movement of other parts of the earthmoving machine.

Abstract: This dust control system is mounted on a drill tower. A housing with an open bottom is used for drawing air into the housing. A side air outlet is used for drawing the dust and chips from the housing to a skimmer. The housing is provided with a pair of longitudinally separated flexible seals with central holes adapted to flexibly receive the drill bit and drill string. The dust hood is movable longitudinally with respect to the drill tower so that the dust hood may be adjusted to a predetermined height above the top of the hole. The hood may be swung from a position aligned with the drill bit and drill string to a position laterally spaced from the side of the drill tower and vice-versa.
