Abstract: Variable bowtie system and method providing half-bows of different colors which can be chosen and combined, even layered, as desired by the user for one wearing, and with a different choice or combination of colors for another wearing. Chosen half-bow units of desired colors are placed on a mounting-stud pair affixed to a neckband, and are removably secured with a retaining collar, which may also be provided in a variety of colors, resulting in a bowtie having the desired color or color combination for a particular wearing, which can be changed upon another wearing.

Abstract: An electrolyte chamber includes a cathode movable in the chamber toward a workpart to machine same and spaced from a wall of the chamber by a transverse clearance space and further includes a sealing piston movable transversely in the chamber in opposite directions toward and away from the cathode to substantially close off or open the clearance space. The sealing piston includes one or more fluid passages extending therethrough such that electrolyte pressure exerted on the sealing piston is substantially balanced in the opposite directions of movement such that unbalanced electrolyte pressure forces do not prevent the sealing piston from closing off the transverse clearance.
