Abstract: A controlled atmosphere workstation comprising a transparent housing (1) having a pair of apertures (21, 22) through which can be inserted the hands of a user. The chamber has a forward part defined at least in part by a pair of opposed side wall portions (7, 10) which converge towards the front of the chamber, in which the apertures are provided. There is a font panel (3) and an upwardly inclined top viewing panel (13). The housing is mounted on a base (2) and contains a gas circulation system which directs filtered gas onto the side walls of the chamber on both sides, and then re-circulates the gas into a gas circulation chamber provided with fans (31, 32) on either side, feeding outlets (27, 28).

Abstract: A patch panel configured for mounting to a network rack, includes: a frame including mounting features at opposite lateral ends for mounting the patch panel to the network rack; a bezel mounted to the patch panel, the bezel including a plurality of outlet apertures, and a plurality of communication outlets mounted in respective ones of the outlet apertures. Each of the outlets includes a plurality of electrical contacts within a plug aperture configured to receive a mating plug. The plug aperture has a generally horizontal axis for receiving the mating plug and further includes a plug latch recess. The outlets are oriented such that the plug latch recess is positioned on one side edge of the plug aperture.

Abstract: An accessory for a conventional fireplace grate that is positioned on top of the fireplace grate and which supports a synthetic firelog thereon. The accessory provides better support for the synthetic log than the grate alone, and the firelog therefore bums longer than if it were placed on the fireplace grate without the accessory. The present invention provides a handy accessory that adapts fireplace grates that are designed primarily for real wood to adequately support synthetic logs.

Abstract: A support for an x-ray cassette which enables an x-ray cassette to be located and moved beneath a patient support surface. The support includes a spade on which an x-ray cassette can be located such as to be positioned beneath the patient support surface. The spade is located on a sliding surface. A handle permits manipulation of the cassette spade over the sliding surface. A raising and lowering mechanism controlled by an operating handle enables the cassette to be raised upwardly to locate closely beneath the patient support surface. An indicator enables the position of the spade to be determined. The indicator is mounted by a post which is engageable with frame to limit the extent by which the spade can be moved transversely in one direction with respect to the patient support surface.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting poultry including a carcass carrying mandrel shiftable into and out of a carcass loading position, a clamp movable toward and away from the mandrel for clamping and releasing a carcass on the mandrel and movable with the mandrel in its clamping condition, and cutters for cutting the carcass on the mandrel at different positions of mandrel movement.

Abstract: A fuse element for a cartridge fuse-link comprises a thin metal wire helically wound about a thin flexible core consisting of an electrically and heat insulating filament. Spaced sections of the winding at opposite ends of the fuse element are metallized so as to short-circuit the turns in these sections. The short-circuited sections are electrically interconnected by the active turns of an intermediate section which constitutes the fusible link. The fuse element is disposed in an insulating cartridge with its short-circuited sections connected to conductive end caps on the cartridge.

Abstract: A lifting platform which is supported from a base by a pair of X-linkages which are of the kind in which the foot of a first arm of the X is pivoted to the base, the foot of the second arm of the X slides on the base and the head of the second arm is pivoted to the platform. The invention is characterized by the head of the first arm being connected through a swinging link to the platform so the platform moves parallel to itself while being lifted.
