Abstract: This pool apparatus functions as a floating platform on the pool that a person can relax or recreated with or set on a solid area to lounge on. The main functions are the timed or manually controlled sprinkler mechanism that is intended to cool a person off while they are relaxing on it, a speaker system that will enable a user to hear sound such as music, optional maneuverability through manual or remote control.

Abstract: An aluminum alloy is disclosed that is suitable for casting and machining cylinder blocks for engines, especially gasoline fuel engines for automotive vehicles. The casting has the strength and wear resistance to piston/seal scuffing for such engines. The alloy comprises, by weight, 9.5 to 12.5% silicon, 0.1 to 1.5% iron, 1.5 to 4.5% copper, 0.2 to 3% manganese, 0.1 to 0.6% magnesium, 2.0% max zinc, 0 to 1.5% nickel, 0.25% maximum titanium, up to 0.05% strontium and the balance aluminum, where the weight ratio of manganese to iron is 1.2 to 1.75 or higher when the iron content is equal to or greater than 0.4% and the weight ratio of manganese to iron is at least 0.6 to 1.2 when the iron content is less than 0.4% of the alloy.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of creating depth images with different depth image scenes being projected at different viewer orientations. At each of the orientations a different perspective series is provided to the viewer. To provide the different depth scenes at the different orientations, different depth content image slices of different depth content scenes are interleaved behind lenticules of a lenticular faceplate. The interleaving of different depth content scenes on an imaging substrate is accomplished by writing to a print file depth images of the different depth content scenes in successive positions prior to driving the printer with the print file contents to record on the substrate. The substrate is then attached to the lenticular faceplate.
