  • Patent number: 4253634
    Abstract: A mounting system for an electric motor or the like utilizing three, one piece motor mounting brackets made of formed wire and secured to the motor at intervals therearound. The outer ends of the brackets are adapted to be bolted to a support, and the inner ends of the brackets may either be snapped into place on the motor or welded or otherwise rigidly attached to the motor. In certain embodiments of the mounting system, the brackets may be rotated relative to the motor so as to be folded adjacent to the motor for compact packaging of the motor for shipping and may be extended for mounting the motor on the support, and in other embodiments, the brackets may be shipped separately from the motor and then readily installed on the motor prior to installation of the motor.

  • Patent number: 4233360
    Abstract: Collagen, available from domestic animals, is freed of noncollagen proteins, glycosaminoglycans and lipids by enzymatic treatment with a proteolytic enzyme to yield a product which is soluble in dilute acidic aqueous solutions (collagen in solution--CIS). The naturally occurring collagen is modified by removal of certain terminal peptide chains, which are described as telopeptides. The modified collagen, so derived, is described as atelopeptide collagen. Native collagen is immunogenic, while atelopeptide collagen is nonimmunogenic or possessed of a negligibly low level of immunogenicity.The collagen in solution is then treated according to a specific regimen under conditions whereby the collagen slowly separates from solution while exposed to mild shear forces. This procedure results in the formation of a fibrous precipitate composed of regularly ordered fibers of collagen possessed of a ropelike structure. These resulting aggregates are referred to as native fibrous micropolymers (NFM).

  • Patent number: 4210175
    Abstract: A fluid injection assembly of a type designed to inject fluid into a flowing stream of liquid at a predetermined, adjustable rate without the assistance of an outside power source other than the line pressure of the flowing stream itself. The assembly includes a casing having the fluid to be injected disposed therein and at least partially contained by a flexible membrane. Liquid from the flowing stream is partially disposed in fluid communication with the interior of the casing so as to flow in surrounding relation to a portion of the flexible membrane whereby pressure exerted thereon will aid in dispensing of the injection fluid therefrom. An open end of the dispensing line for the injection fluid is disposed within the flowing stream so as to create a negative pressure further aiding in removal of the fluid from within the casing. A liquid flow rate meter is provided so as to give a constant, visual indication of the rate of flow of the liquid into which it is desired to inject a fluid.

  • Patent number: 4210686
    Abstract: A multiple-layered, autoclavable, flexible plastic sheet comprises (a) at least one first layer consisting essentially of 30 to 90 percent by weight of a block copolymer having thermoplastic rubbery characteristics and having rubbery olefin blocks and blocks of a polystyrene; and from 10 to 70 percent by weight of a polyolefin derived principally from at least one of propylene, ethylene and 4-methylpentene-1, said polyolefin having a Vicat Softening Temperature of about 120.degree. C.; and (b) at least one second layer consisting essentially of a polyolefin derived principally by from at least one of propylene, ethylene, and 4-methylpentene-1 and being of semi-crystalline characteristics to exhibit low permeability to water vapor, the first and second layers being bonded together in alternating arrangement.

  • Patent number: 4179169
    Abstract: A facade for enclosing data processing apparatus or similar equipment. The facade is designed to be a free-standing unit, enclosing completely a multiple-component data processing assemblage. However, the facade can also be utilized in conjunction with external structural members, such as existing walls, to enclose the assemblage. The facade is easily assembled and disassembled by available field personnel, but has sufficient structural integrity to provide protection for the enclosed equipment assemblage and to prevent casual entry into the interior. In addition, the facade has sufficient apertures to permit disapation of heat generated by the high circuit element density utilized in the modern data processing apparatus. The facade is arranged to permit easy access by the maintenance personnel to the interior of the facade.

The modified collagen, so derived, is described as atelopeptide collagen. Native collagen is immunogenic, while atelopeptide collagen is nonimmunogenic or possessed of a negligibly low level of immunogenicity.The collagen in solution is then treated according to a specific regimen under conditions whereby the collagen slowly separates from solution while exposed to mild shear forces. This procedure results in the formation of a fibrous precipitate composed of regularly ordered fibers of collagen possessed of a ropelike structure. These resulting aggregates are referred to as native fibrous micropolymers (NFM). Once the regimen or procedure is completed, and the fiber mass has been formed, the fibrous micropolymers may be freed of salt, taken up in a different solution or modified. For example, cross-links may then be introduced to stabilize the fibers.

  • Patent number: 4090749
    Abstract: A self-aligning bearing is held against a plurality of seats by a spring retainer having an opening in it, the annular edge of the opening in the spring retainer forming a second seat for the bearing. The retainer has a plurality of tabs formed along its periphery. A plurality of receptacles are provided, each receptacle including a closed bottom, open mouth channel which is sized to receive the tabs. The retainer is positioned by flexing the tabs and rotating the retainer into the channel. A unique lubricating system constructed from oil retentive material is provided for lubriating the bearing.
