Abstract: A vigorous rose plant of the hybrid tea class obtained as a seedling from a seed parent entitled "Coquette" and a pollen parent entitled "Jack Frost" provides abundant long-lasting solid white flowers which maintain their true color from flower opening through petal drop on a continuous basis when grown in a greenhouse.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided which forms in abundance attractive fully double long lasting blossoms which are strawberry red on the upper surface and cardinal red on the under surface. The plant exhibits vigorous vegetation and an erect growth habit. The new variety exhibits an excellent capability for greenhouse forcing during cut flower production. Excellent resistance to fungal diseases also is manifest.

It is one of the first solutions in the new field of pulmonary medical practice treating nocturnal breathing disorders.

Abstract: A container for a stack of a variable number of pictures is disclosed. The container comprises at least two members movable relative to each other, one of which members holds the stack at at least one but not all of its edges, permitting the stack to be removed in the direction of one of the non-embraced edges.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating fluids flowing at high velocity, for mass and heat transfer, for gas-liquid contacting and for contaminant particulate, mist or fume separation, including a plurality of perforated or unperforated cylinders arrayed staggered in rows perpendicular to the direction of flow of the fluid. The elements are spatially separated from each other. Diagonal by-pass flow through the array is blocked by a partition extending from each element generally parallel to the direction of flow of fluid bisecting the space between a pair of elements of an adjacent row with the elements of the pair symmetrically spaced with respect to the partition.Also, a method of removing contaminants from gas by passing the gas through this array between and injecting a liquid into the array. Capture of the contaminants by the drops is effected because of the difference in acceleration of each as the contaminated gas passes in and out of the gap between each cylinder and its adjacent partitions.

Abstract: A method of quenching which comprises the steps of (a) immersing a metal heated to an elevated temperature in a quenchant composition comprising an aqueous-solution of a sufficiently hydrophilic water-soluble or water-dispersible organic polymer of the formula:Y[AR].sub.xto provide a solution containing .[.15.0.]. .Iadd.from about 1 to about 20 .Iaddend.

Abstract: A detonating cord transport package wherein detonating cord is installed on a plurality of separator-support members so as to provide crossover locations at frequent intervals at which crossover locations there is incorporated means for stopping any detonation that occurs, with the result that such detonation will be confined to a relatively short length of detonating cord and will also be confined to the container in which the detonating cord transport package is disposed.

Abstract: A thin-walled easily opened container and method of making the same for commercial food products that includes congruent mating and overlapping sections crimped over a cover panel.

Abstract: A fluidic oscillator includes a chamber having a common inflow and outflow opening into which a jet is issued in a generally radial direction. After impinging upon the far chamber wall the jet is redirected to form a vortex on each side of the incoming jet. The vortices alternate in strength and position to direct outflow through the common opening along one side and then the other of the inflowing jet. A spray-forming output chamber is arranged to receive the pulsating outflows from the aforementioned or other fluid oscillator and establish an output vortex which is thereby alternately spun in opposite directions. An outlet opening from the output chamber issues fluid in a sweeping spray pattern determined by the vectorial sum of a first vector, tangential to the output vortex and a function of the spin velocity, and a second vector, directed radially from the vortex and determined by the static pressure in the chamber.

Abstract: An elastic foam football 10 with lengthwise spiral grooves 20 increasing in width and depth towards the middle of the ball for improved handling.

Abstract: A dynamic engine performance analyzer system measures engine torque and power continuously from an absorption brake and produces a statistically corrected and deskewed value of torque and power for each of a number of RPM bands. Torque and power values are integrated during each N shaft revolutions as the engine is slowly accelerated through a range of interest. The data are accumulated such that for each 100 RPM wide band in the range, there is a statistical mean value produced of torque and of power. Each 100 RPM band element represents the mean or average of several separate data measurements. A deskewing operation compensates for the fact that the samples may not all be taken evenly throughout each 100 RPM average band during acceleration. The inertial effects of acceleration and deceleration are compensated by adjusting the torque and power values upwards during acceleration and downwards during deceleration.

Abstract: Gas transport agents such as artificial blood containing a perfluorocyclocarbon and an amine oxide are disclosed. These compositions have been found to provide transparent emulsions or solutions for use in oxygen transport, particularly in animals. Large concentrations of perfluorocarbons may be employed even up to 50% or more by volume in preparing emulsions, microemulsions or solutions. The emulsions or solutions have been found to be very stable at room temperature storage conditions thereby providing significant advantages.

Abstract: A method is provided for making alkylhalosilanes by effecting reaction between an alkyl halide, such as methyl chloride and powdered silicon in the presence of a copper-zinc-tin catalyst. Significant improvements in reaction rate and product selectivity are achieved when copper is employed at a critical weight percent relative to silicon and critical weight ratios of tin and zinc are employed relative to copper.

Abstract: A bearing housing (3) encloses a bearing (2) for a shaft (1). The bearing is mounted on the shaft by a clamping sleeve (4) with a longitudinal slit and two flanges (5,6) one on each side of the bearing. The flanges, which are axially fixed on the sleeve, are parts of mounting and dismounting means for a bearing. The bearing space is sealed by sealing members which surround the flanges .[.and.]..Iadd., In a preferred embodiment, the sealing members .Iaddend.have lips (12,13) contacting the outer surfaces of said flanges. Resilient sealing rings (10,11) are arranged between the flanges and the inner ring of the bearing. The sealing arrangement allows the use of a slitted clamping sleeve and axial displacement of the bearing on the shaft (1) during mounting.

Abstract: An improved waistband construction for garments including a new one piece flat elastic strip having upper and lower portions of different stretchability. The elastic strip is connected to the fabric of the waistband and the shell of the garment so as to allow more expansion and comfort in fitting multiple sizes.

Abstract: A helmet with an interior element which fits around the head. The interior element has space therein adjacent the front of the head in order to ensure that there is less pressure on the front hair by the interior element and good air circulation inside the helmet, so that the hair is less disheveled and has less of a steamed look when the helmet is worn.

Abstract: A toilet seat repair organization is set forth wherein a plurality of arcuate segments are formed in a mirror image relative to one another with a planar top and a planar bottom surface parallel to one another with a thickness substantially equal to that of bumper pads of an associated toilet seat. A modification of the instant invention includes a cavity formed with each upper surface to accept a deodorizing container therewithin to enable the deodorizing liquid contained therewithin to be dispersed through the porous repair segments. A further modification utilizes a plurality of arcuate ribs depending downwardly from the repair segments for overlying the upper rim surface of an associated commode to stabilize the toilet seat so repaired relative to the commode.
