Abstract: A nuclear fusion reactor includes a geodesic-shaped reaction chamber having at least j planar faces, where j equals 2, 6, 8, 12 or 20 and j conical plasma injectors (CPIs) for creating circular rings of neutral plasma. Each CPI includes a conical inner cathode electrode disposed coaxially within a hollow conical outer anode electrode, the space between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode forming a converging conical plasma channel for creating circular rings of neutral plasma, the converging conical plasma channel accelerating the plasma fuel into a converging plasma ring that comes to a focus at the center of the reaction chamber. The angle between axes of adjacent CPIs defines a CPI face angle, the angle defined by the converging conical plasma channel at its apex defining a CPI convergence angle, wherein the CPI convergence angle is approximately half the CPI face angle.

Abstract: Disclosed are food articles comprising microcapsules as delivery devices. Methods of preparing such food articles are also disclosed.

Abstract: A maskless, direct write electron lithography apparatus for accurately and simultaneously writing plural sub-micron patterns on a silicon substrate employs plural parallel electron beams with precise X-Y mechanical translation of the substrate to provide low cost, high throughput integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. Plural compact micro electron gun assemblies arranged in a I×J rectangular grid each simultaneously expose one IC pattern on the substrate, with each electron gun assembly including a K×L array of individually controlled electron guns emitting K×L electron beams. The regular, small spacing between electron beams in each array, i.e., approximately 1 mm or less, requires a correspondingly small X-Y translation of the substrate to write the entire wafer. Each electron gun array includes plural AC blanked cathodes and DC biased plates having plural aligned beam passing apertures.

Abstract: A pushout mechanism is disclosed for transferring bottles from a deadplate of an I.S. machine section to a conveyor. The pushout mechanism has a finger assembly including inner and outer pockets and is pivotally displaced, when the finger assembly is at an advanced position, from the deadplate and to a conveyor. Each of the inner and outer pockets includes an air directing structure such as a jet for directing air to hold a bottle located within the pocket against the pocket. A first pressurized air supply which includes a first control valve supplies pressurized air to the air directing structure of the inner pocket and a second pressurized air supply means including a second control valve for supplies pressurized air to the air directing structure of the outer pocket.

Abstract: An H-28 machine is a glassware making machine having a plurality of glass making sections which rotate about a vertical axle. The complete process takes one revolution. Individual section mechanisms are controlled by electronically setable cams on a central timing drum and whenever two mechanisms sequentially occupy the same space in a section, machine speed is determined and the cam settings are checked to make certain that the mechanisms will not interfere.

Abstract: A neck ring mechanism of an H-28 glass forming machine is operated by a neck ring lever which is pivotally supported and controlled by a cam roller which is displaced along a timing cam. To precisely define the timing of the lever, the lever is displaceable relative to a sleeve which is secured to the shaft and a control knob operating through an adjuster plate assembly adjusts the axial location of the lever.

Abstract: A bottom plate for an H-28 machine is secured to a post which is received within a hollow stud and sits on a ball bearing supported within the stud. The post which has an annular groove cooperates with a plurality of locking pins which can be held in operative relation with the post groove or released by a rotatable collar.
