Abstract:
A spark plug for an internal combustion engine wherein a ring shaped ground electrode has a uniform annular hole with an internal diameter about 0.80 to 1.25 the outer diameter of the center electrode. The ground electrode is vertically spaced below the center electrode and is concentric therewith. The ground electrode is connected to one or more mounting posts attached to a spark plug metal housing. The spark from the center electrode to the ground electrode has multiple paths and results in a spark plug which improves fuel combustion, increases gasoline mileage and engine horsepower and significantly reduces the smolder or ignition delay time and environmental pollutants such as oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
Abstract:
Transactions among kernel objects (210, 215, 220) utilize application program interfaces (APIs) to implement operations on a transaction object and APIs to implement operations on a resource manager object (205).
Abstract:
Method FOR manufacturing a spark plug, for an internal combustion engine, provided with a double ringed ground electrode (10) permanently affixed to the spark plug base. One ring (24) provided with a downwardly displaced shielding and centering lip (22) is welded to the spark plug base while the other (15), held apart by one or more legs (32), is positioned above and concentric to the axis of, the spark plug center electrode, by use of an alignment tool (50).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a convertible visor/cap (1), which can be converted from a cap to a visor, and vice verse, having a fixed frontal crown portion and a folding crown membrane supported by a plurality of hinged support members (17, 19). The visor/cap preferably has a forwardly extending bill (3), from which the frontal crown portion extends upward, and a head band portion extending rearwardly therefrom. Two hinges are preferably provided on the side of the head band portion adjacent the frontal crown portion for pivotally supporting the support members. The hinges allow the support members to be pivoted between a first extended position, in which the membrane covers the head (i.e. form a cap), and a second folded position, in which the membrane is folded up behind the frontal crown portion and substantially hidden from view (i.e. form a visor).
