Abstract: A bottle identifier includes a substantially circular, disk-shaped main body constructed of a resiliently flexible plastic material. The main body includes an outer peripheral edge, top and bottom substantially flat surfaces adapted to receive identifying indicia, a substantially circular opening defining an inner peripheral edge and adapted to receive the neck portion of the bottle, and a slit extending from the inner peripheral edge to the outer peripheral edge. The slit provides opposing end portions that are resiliently movable apart from another during attachment to and detachment from the neck portion of the bottle. The opening has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the flange of the bottle so that the main body may abut against the flange when the main body is removably attached to the neck portion of the bottle.

Abstract: A switching system is provided that automatically turns on automobile headlights when the windshield wiper is turned on. Two embodiments are provided: one using relays to perform the switching function, and one using digital logic. A third embodiment allows for the addition of multi-speed windshield wipers and fog lights. When the windshield wipers are set to low speed, the headlights are automatically turned on. When they are set to high speed, the headlights and fog lights are automatically turned on.

Abstract: A magnetic tape drive has swing arm tensioning devices with two rollers. During normal operation, the tape passes between the two swing arm rollers and a fixed roller. During automatic threading, a pneumatic trough formed by the base casting and an opening in the bottom of the base casting transports tape for threading.
