Abstract: A Utility Carry All for transporting numerous spray bottles in connection with a fluid handling or transporting central container having a handle positioned for balanced transport. The Utility Carry All includes a number of bottle neck size adapter inserts that fit into numerous longitudinal bottle mount openings positioned along the sides of the central transporting container and allow a user to insert a specific adapter size for a particular size spray bottle neck size. The adapter inserts snap into place and can be removed or changed to different bottle sizes. The utility carry all is provided with numerous bottle neck adapters so that the carry all can be customized by the user to carry desired bottles.

Abstract: An improved process for the vapor phase nitration of methane comprising delivering preheated (1000.degree.-1250.degree. F.) methane at a flow rate of not less than 20,000 SCFH into a reaction chamber of 3.334 inches in diameter maintained at about 950.degree. F., delivering nitric acid into the reaction chamber through a plurality of orifices perpendicularly mounted with respect to the methane flow, whereat the nitric acid vaporizes, mixes with the methane and reacts therewith, and exiting the reaction mixture after a reaction time of 30 to 250 milliseconds and recovering nitromethane from the reaction mixture.

Abstract: A control system for operating the ram vertically movable in and out of a glass mold. The control system for operating the ram includes a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic fluid reservoir, and a hydraulic cylinder which is interconnected to the pump and to the reservoir. A vertically reciprocal piston is positioned in the cylinder. Valve means control the flow of hydraulic fluid from the pump and reservoir to the chambers defined on opposite sides of the piston. The operating system includes a first control of hydraulic fluid and fluid pressure to the first chamber and from the second chamber for rapidly lowering or permitting free fall of the ram towards the mold by action of gravity and a second control means of the fluid pressure on both sides of the piston to reduce the speed of the ram to pressing speed and finally to a fixed pressing position.
