Abstract: A VCR player tape cartridge reinsertion device for automatically reinserting a conventional tape cartridge back into a tape input slot in a conventional VCR player after the conventional tape cartridge has rewound and been partially ejected therefrom so as to allow the conventional tape cartridge to automatically record continuously without the need for an endless tape. The device includes a platform, a motor, an upright shaft, and at least one arm. The platform is positioned in close proximity to the tape input slot. The motor is disposed in the platform and has a shaft that extends vertically upwardly therefrom. The upright shaft is vertically-oriented and operatively connected to the shaft of the motor for rotation therewith.

Abstract: Novel method and apparatus for utilizing, in the mining of subterranean sulphur by the Frasch process, the heat of water that has accumulated underground above at least a part of said subterranean sulphur from previous mining operations comprising subterraneanly recycling said accumulated underground water downwardly to contact and heat additional solid subterranean sulphur. In one embodiment further heat is added to the accumulated underground water. For example, pressurized, superheated drive water generated above ground is subterraneanly commingled with said accumulated underground water in a jet pump or ejector to further heat it and to recycle it subterraneanly.
