Abstract: An air-filter assembly is adapted to be used with a velocity stack of a carburetor of an internal-combustion engine of an automobile. The air-filter assembly includes a generally hollow air-filter member defining an open face, a closed face, and a side connected to and extending between the open and closed faces of the air-filter member. The closed face and side define an air-inlet end, an air-discharge end disposed opposite the air-inlet end, and an air filter arranged between the air-inlet and air-discharge ends. The air-inlet end is adapted to permit air to flow therethrough from exterior the air-filter assembly. The air filter is adapted to remove impurities entrained in the airflow and permit the filtered air to flow therethrough. The air-discharge end is adapted to permit the filtered air to flow therethrough into the velocity stack.

Abstract: A crutch cushion, a crutch cushion kit and crutch system that includes the crutch cushion. The crutch cushion includes a body having rear, front, right side, left side, top and bottom surfaces, and a hollow chamber proximate to the bottom surface. The top surface slopes downward from the front surface to the rear surface. The right and left side surfaces each have a substantially concave shape. The bottom surface has an oblong opening proximate to and dimensioned to be smaller than a dimension of the hollow chamber.

Abstract: A wave energy conversion system converts wave energy within a wave medium into electrical energy. The wave energy conversion system includes a base substantially connected to a wave-medium floor, a tidal platform connected to the base and a tidal float connected to the tidal platform. An axle is connected to the tidal platform with an inductive coil positioned within the axle, such that an axis of the inductive coil is parallel to the axle. A magnetic sleeve includes a magnetic sleeve opening, such that the axle passes through the magnetic sleeve opening. A float member is connected to the magnetic sleeve. A wave moving through the wave causes displacement of the float member, causing the magnetic sleeve to move relative to the inductive coil and generate electrical energy within the inductive coil.

Abstract: A bidirectional lighting system includes a housing having a planar base and a stringer connected to end plates by a chassis. The chassis carries a bracket for light sockets and asymmetric reflectors. The edges of the base, the end plates and the stringer define a pair of windows. One light source and an associated asymmetric provide up light illumination through one of the windows and the other light source and its associated reflector provides wall wash illumination of an adjacent wall through the other window.

Abstract: Individual fixture sections of a continuous row lighting assembly are joined together with end panels of adjacent sections abutting one another. The abutting end panels include registered apertures which carry an L-shaped fastener. Each fastener includes a first leg which engages the inner face of one end panel and a second leg having a threaded aperture which carries a screw. The screw is tightened to bear against the inner face of the other end panel to secure the fixture sections together in a continuous row.

Abstract: A washer attachment for a vehicle headlamp including a fluid conduit for extension partially along the circumference of a headlamp envelope, mounting tabs extending from the conduit across the circumference of the envelope for clamping thereto by a circumferential mounting ring, and fluid inlet and outlet means for passing cleaning fluid to the conduit and dispensing the fluid from the conduit onto the headlamp envelope to clean the latter.
