Abstract: A boat dolly apparatus includes a first base assembly which includes a first end portion and a second end portion. A first wheel assembly is connected to the first end portion of the first base assembly, and a second wheel assembly is connected to the second end portion of the first base assembly. A second base assembly is connected to the first end portion of the first base assembly. A clamping assembly is connected to the second base assembly for connecting the second base assembly to a boat, and a post assembly is connected to the second end portion of the first base assembly. The second base assembly is connected to the first base assembly at a right angle. The first base assembly and the second base assembly are contiguous to a first plane and are in the shape of a letter T. The first base assembly includes a first adjustable member connected to the first wheel assembly and a second adjustable member connected to the second wheel assembly.

Abstract: A hydro-carpet apparatus for providing for downstream containment and recovery of contaminants of oil spills and the like resulting from overflows when making a transfer of such oil materials between a floating vessel and storage means, with the transfer occurring after the vessel is brought substantially adjacent to the dock surface, in which the hydro-carpet is removably maintained in compact form, e.g.

Abstract: The present invention relates to photography and, more particularly, to diffusion transfer process photographic film units which comprise a photosensitive element adapted to provide, by diffusion transfer photographic processing, selective dyde image recordation of incident actinic radiation as a function of the point-to-point degree of photosensitive element exposure, which film unit includes a plurality of essential layers including a photosensitive silver halide layer having associated therewith dye image-forming material which is diffusible during processing as a function of the point-to-point degree of silver halide layer exposure to incident actinic radiation and a layer adapted to receive image-forming material diffusing thereto; means for applying an aqueous composition therebetween, said composition comprising 0.1-10%, by weight, of a viscosity increasing polymer comprising carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose. Optionally, said composition also includes titanium dioxide in a ratio of 1 to 10 g.

Abstract: In the manufacture of filled tube rods the ends of the rods are sealed with a solid organic film volatilizable at welding temperature to provide a contaminant free weldment. The organic film is preferably a sealant composition containing pyroxylin (nitrocellulose), ether, and absolute alcohol as principal ingredients, and dried by very rapid means, i.e., infrared heating.
