Abstract: A gas turbine engine control system which receives an engine condition and generates a parameter signal representative of the condition. The control system also receives a temperature signal representative of the engine temperature downstream of the engine combustor. A comparator is used to compare the parameter signal with the temperature signal and a nonrecoverable stall output signal is produced when the temperature signal indicates the temperature is greater than a scheduled value for the given parameter signal. The invention also includes a method for monitoring a gas turbine engine comprising the steps of receiving an engine condition and for generating a parameter signal representative of the condition.

They allow document printing without interleaving.

Abstract: In a system for displaying multichannel EEG data, data values received from a matrix of EEG electrodes are stored in a random access memory. Digital values to be displayed are interpolated from the input values by addressing selected ones of the inputs from memory, multiplying those inputs by predetermined coefficients taken from a coefficient memory and summing the products. Each element of the display can be determined in that way within one frame time of the display apparatus. The data can be interpolated in real time for a flicker free display at a rate of over 25 frames per second. By displaying separate values associated with each display element as a distinct color, the dimensionality of the display can be increased. The numeric matrix which underlies the expanded topographic display can be stored digitally and further utilized in further operations and displays.

Abstract: A bearing lubricating device .[.which.]. is designed for attachment to the wheel bearing housing of a trailer or other vehicle to automatically lubricate the bearings in the bearing housing. The bearing lubricating device includes a cylindrical grease housing fitted with a spring-loaded piston and a piston plate extending from the piston, wherein the piston projects from the end of the grease housing. When grease is charged into the interior of the grease housing, the spring is compressed and forces the piston farther outwardly of the grease housing, to indicate that sufficient grease is provided in the grease housing for proper lubrication of the wheel bearings. In a first preferred embodiment of the invention a stop ring is provided in the housing to limit travel of the piston plate and piston in the housing and the projecting end of the piston is color-coded to indicate the grease content inside the grease housing. In a second preferred embodiment a retainer is attached to the piston for the same purpose.

Abstract: A dispensing system for a package of a continuous, severable sheet material comprising a number of individual severable members, such as plastic bags, separated by transverse pre-weakened regions, such as perforations, is composed of a storage container holding the package and a dispensing device. The dispensing device is separate from and is located at a location remote from the storage container. The continuous severable sheet material is conducted to the dispensing device and is threaded therethrough until the pre-weakened separating two consecutive members emerges through the exit of the device. A sufficient force is then applied to the continuous, severable sheet material to separate the two consecutive members from each other at the pre-weakened regions.

The disclosed invention further provides a cabinet which effectively utilizes such a device. The disclosed invention also includes an improved cabinet construction which minimizes the paths by which moisture and debris may enter the cabinet interior, while providing a cabinet which is transportable without violating the integrity of the cabinet structure.

Abstract: The performance of double receptor, specific binding assays is improved by use of a receptor complex having the structureA.sub.BL (BL).sub.n A.sub.1wherein BL is a binding ligand, A.sub.BL is a receptor specific for binding ligand, A.sub.1 is a receptor, BL is covalently bonded to A.sub.1 and A.sub.BL is reversibly bonded to BL. Generally A.sub.BL is absorbed onto an insoluble surface and A.sub.1 is an antibody to the substance being assayed. The complex has particular utility in coated tube and rechargeable radioimmunoassay systems.

Abstract: A face shield assembly is releasably attached to a pair of spectacles and is adjustable so that it may be placed close to or away from the wearer's face. It is lockable into each position of adjustment. Multiple apertures are formed in a clear or tinted lens, just below its uppermost edge, and these apertures press fittingly receive posts that are formed along the length of a flexible base member that conforms to the contour of the wearer's head so that the lens depends from the base member. The opposite ends of the lens are retained in detent members formed in the opposite ends of the base member, and a horizontal top shield extends from the base member to the wearer's forehead.

Abstract: A utility vest with a pair of straps running through the shoulder areas of the vest and terminating in loops that extend proximate to the outer surface of the garment. These straps are engageable with a belt and thereby transfer the weight of items clipped or otherwise attached to the belt to the shoulders of the user, preventing the belt from riding low or sliding down around the user's hips. Additionally, there are a number of pleated and unpleated pockets disposed about the inner and outer surfaces of the vest. On the rear panel of the vest, one of these pockets has contained within it a folded backpack that is integrally attached to the vest. The backpack has a pair of loops on its anterior surface that cooperate with the belt, thus holding the deployed backpack substantially stationary relative to the vest.

Abstract: Each pant leg of a pair of firefighter pants is formed of a front section and a back section each of which is of one-piece construction. Both the inseam edge and the outseam edge of the front section of each pant leg bulge outwardly only at the knee portion and along only a minor portion of the edges to provide additional space at the knee portion of each pant leg.

Abstract: A paper hat is formed from stiffly flexible paper-like material such as kraft with a rectangular top panel forming a crown, and four planar side panels and four planar side panels attached to the top panel along fold lines. The side panels have lower arcuate borders forming an oval, head-shaped opening toward the crown. Four arcuate panels flare from the side panels forming a brim with an ovate outer edge. One of the side panels has a transverse fold line parallel and intermediate the crown and the brim allowing the side panel to be folded flat. Additional fold lines along hinges joining the side panels and fold lines perpendicular to the crown allow the hat to be folded into a flat form with all panels in parallel planes.
