14,584. Curran, S., and Thomas, D. June 24. Dirt, excluding. - In an internal-combustion engine, a beat valve C is rotated as it lifts by means of a cam N arranged to act at one side of the centre of a disk M on the tappet rod L. The rod L is of adjustable length. The cotter F in the valve stem is engaged by a slot in the adjustable head I of the tappet rod. The upper end of the valve spring D bears against a washer free to rotate on a ball bearing.
Abstract:
A hand held running aide 1 has handles 2 and 3 to be held in each hand and is used during walking, jogging and running. When held in both hands the running aide links the arms together in a unified fashion and encourages a more aligned movement of the arms whilst exercising. Consequently the core muscles enjoy a better workout than if the arms are allowed to swing naturally. The running aide 1 may be weighted by filling a hollow chamber with a consumable fluid or weighted articles. The aide may have a drinking straw through which the water can be drunk and the aide may also incorporate a music player, headphones, lights, a mobile phone or an alarm.
Abstract:
An apparatus for use in shaping casual turn-down collars has a flexible shee t substrate with a profile that fits underneath a casual turn-down collar. There is an adhesive coating on each side of the substrate. The substrate fits without showing and with a portion of the substrate near a tip of the collar. The coating is self-releasing and pressure sensitive. There is a cov er film on each side of the substrate over the adhesive coating. The substrate has a removal tab section with no adhesive coating on each side of the substrate. There is a pull-tab on each cover fil m that extends beyond the adhesive coating on the substrate. The pull-tab extends over the removal tab section. The collar is manually shaped and the apparatus is placed between the shirt body and the collar to fix the collar in place.

25,115. Davies, O., and Thomas, D. Nov. 18. Gas-producers.-Bells and seatings for charging gas producers with coal or the like, are shown in position in Fig. 1. The bell is solid and is made of fireclay, and is provided with a hole for receiving a bolt c, the head of which lies in a dovetail recess d. The recess is filled with clay to protect the bolt. The seating e is in one or two parts, and has a ledge fitting the mouth of the gas producer. When made in two parts they are bolted together, and the joint between them is made by a fillet in one part engaging with a recess in the other.
Abstract:
A headlight having a housing, a light assembly, at least one heat sink, and an air mover. The housing has a front end, a rear end, an air inlet, an air outlet, an intake chamber in fluid communication with the air inlet, an exhaust chamber in fluid communication with the air outlet, and a passageway establishing fluid communication between the intake chamber and the exhaust chamber. The passageway is positioned forward of both the air inlet opening and the air outlet opening. The heat sink is positioned in at least one of the intake chamber and the exhaust chamber. The air mover is supported by the housing in such a way as to move air into the housing through the air inlet, through the intake chamber, over the heat sink, through the exhaust chamber, and out of the housing through the air outlet.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a toroidal fluid mover. A drive mechanism rotates the toroidal fluid mover, such that the toroidal fluid mover directs axially received fluid at a smaller radius in a radial direction towards a greater radius to produce an axial-to-radial fluid flow field. A heat sink is positioned within the axial-to-radial fluid flow field. The heat sink is thermally coupled with a heat generating source and is at least partially filled with a fluid.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for reducing the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) of a liquid medium, said PAH's optionally containing, in their cyclic structure, one or more heteroatoms selected among N, O and S, comprising: (a) placing the liquid medium in contact with at least one appropriate oxidizing agent in the presence of at least one hemoprotein selected among hemoglobins and myoglobins, immobilized on or in finely divided solid mineral particles having an average size determined by laser granulometry ranging from 5 nm to 1 mm, preferably from 10 nm to 100 ?m, in reaction conditions that permit the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons optionally sulfurated and/or nitrogenated and/or oxidized by the oxidizing agent, and; (b) the separation of the immobilized hemoprotein from the liquid medium.
