Abstract: A new variety of crab apple tree, which I call "Doubloons", has large white double flowers, a generally round habit of growth with upright spreading dense branches and yellow fruit. The new variety is resistant to apple scab.

Abstract: A seedling of the variety Acer palmatum "Bloodgood" (an unpatented variety) noticeable for its vigorous growth, deeper red color in the summer, greater height of growth as compared with other "Bloodgood" seedlings of the same age, cold hardiness and non-susceptibility to tip die-back of the summer growth, from cold winters.

Abstract: A distinct cultivar of Eryngium planum named Fluela characterized by its relatively large and tall growth, rosette form, large peduncles having secondary and tertiary branches, and ellipsoid shaped, violet blue flowers.

Abstract: A new variety of hybrid lily plant bears large clusters of flowers of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut flowers. The flowers of the new plant are particularly characterized by their unusually large and broad-tepalled form, their light cream to white coloring, and by their unusual spotting pattern which consists of several short, narrow "brush-marks" extending from the nectaries. This combination is completely new in the upright Asiatic hybrid lilies. The plant is resistant to disease and shows tolerance of virus. The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.

Abstract: .Iadd.An orthopedic device for aligning joints, especially intended as an .Iaddend..[.The.]. orthopedic shoe designed for correcting malformations of the foot in infants comprises a rigid posterior part (4) to hold the hindfoot and an interior part (10) to hold the forefoot. These parts 4, 10 are secured to each other through a connecting piece (15) jointed with a ball-and-socket (19) in at least one of the parts (10) and which can be blocked (21) in position. The joint which has three degrees of freedom in the relative position of the posterior (4) and anterior (10) parts permits any adjustment to correct a malformation in the horizontal, vertical and oblique planes, whether or not accompanied by a component of torsion around the direction of deviation.

Abstract: A fabric, adapted for use in a belt of a papermaking machine, is formed of interwoven machine direction wrap and cross-machine direction shute type strands, at least the shute strands being woven in a repetitive pattern of passing over at least three adjacent warp strands and then passing under at least two adjacent warp strands so as to form a 3/2 type weave pattern.

Abstract: A plurality of floor members (40, 58, 106) are supported on guide beams (16, 18, 60, 102). The guide beams (16, 18, 60, 102) are spaced apart such that the floor members (40, 58, 106) have spaces between their side portions. The guide beams (16, 18, 60, 102) have oppositely directed flanges (26, 78, 80, 112, 114) secured to their tops. Bearing members (30, 116) slip over these flanges and rest on top of the guide beams (16, 18, 60, 102). Bottom members (20, 64, 98) extend laterally between the guide beams (16, 18, 60, 102), to form channels in the regions between the floor members (40, 58, 106). In one embodiment, refrigerated air is directed through these channels. In a second embodiment, the channel is used to collect small particles of ice and ice water. In a third embodiment, garbage is allowed to enter into the channel space. The sidewalls (108, 110) of the floor members (106) engage this garbage and move it when the floor members (106) are moving and hold it when the floor members (106) are stationary.

Abstract: Wave soldering process and apparatus for the soldering of elements such as, for example, printed circuit assemblies with surface mounted components and the like which yield improved soldering results by promoting the penetration of solder into narrow spaces between components, the filling of small holes in a board, filling crevices, filling corners adjacent to solder masks and all other areas where solder wetting is difficult to achieve with conventional machines. The process provides the steps of moving an element in a predetermined path, forming a solder wave beneath the path so that at least a portion of the element passes through the solder wave, and producing an oscillation in the solder wave during the passage of the element therethrough.
