Abstract: An incandescent lamp is provided with a phosphor coating on its lamp envelope. The phosphor coating alters the spectral distribution of radiation emitted by the lamp and acts as a diffuser. In one embodiment, the phosphor coating absorbs radiation at wavelengths below 500 nanometers and emits radiation at wavelengths above 500 nanometers to provide an improved bugfoiler lamp. In another embodiment, the phosphor coating absorbs radiation in the ultraviolet, violet and blue wavelength range and emits radiation at longer wavelengths that more effectively stimulate the human eye.

Abstract: An adjustable rotary slip clutch comprising a driving portion, a driven portion, an annular cavity defined between the driving portion and the driven portion, a plurality of friction clutch elements of generally conical configuration mounted within the annular cavity, at least one of the friction elements mounted to the driving portion for rotation therewith, an at least one of the friction elements mounted to the driven portion for rotation therewith, and an arrangement for sealing the cavity to maintain lubricant therein.

Abstract: There is described an improved apparatus for producing filaments from a high melting point material by forming a pendant drop at the end of the material and engaging the drop with a rotating heat extracting member (e.g. copper disc). The improvement to the apparatus comprises a pair of heating components to heat the material to a temperature immediately below its melting point and thereafter heat only the end of the material to the melting point. The result is a vibration free pendant drop suspended from the rod's end. A method for making the filament is also described.

Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for making solid filamentary elements from a pendant drop of a high melting point material (e.g. hafnium, zirconium). The improvement constitutes providing a protective layer in the form of a thin film on the circumferential edge of the casting wheel prior to engagement of the drop and release of the elements. The layer material serves to reduce heat flow from the drop material to the wheel as well as prohibit bonding of the drop material thereto. The preferred layer materials are aluminum, carbon (e.g. graphite), boron nitride, and borosilicate glass.

Abstract: A multilamp flashlamp assembly capable of emitting highly intense audible and visual signals and particularly adapted for alarm situations. The assembly utilizes percussive flashlamps which operate in conjunction with a respective plurality of pyrotechnic devices located about the assembly's transparent housing. Each device provides an audible signal in response to the energy received from the respective lamp when the lamp is fired.
