Abstract:
An automobile anti-theft system has an override mechanism for the ignition lock normally to prevent insertion of the ignition key into the lock. A number of pushbuttons located on the instrument panel are labeled to identify a secret code, and the bushbuttons are electrically coupled to the override mechanism to disable the mechanism when the proper code is selected. The pushbuttons are also electrically coupled to an alarm so that selecting an improper code activates the alarm.
Abstract:
A novel process is provided for preparing the well known germicidal compound hexachlorophene (i.e., bis-(3,5,6-trichloro2-hydroxyphenyl)methane) by the condensation of a completely emulsified mixture of two mols of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol and about 1 mol of formaldehyde in the presence of sulfuric acid in concentrations of from above about 80 percent to less than about 92 percent at temperatures ranging from about 5*C. to about 75*C. above the temperatures at which emulsification is effected.
Abstract:
A jumpolene recreational apparatus type game consisting of a trampolene having a generally rectangular frame and a trampolene bed within the frame and connected to the sides and ends of the frame by a plurality of spaced resilient connectors each under tension to yieldingly hold the bed in a tightly stretched position relative to the frame, the frame having adjustable legs spaced thereabout to support the frame above the ground with the legs being adjustable to control both the height of the frame above the ground and the inclination of the frame relative to the ground, a sloped runway leading up to the front end of the frame with the elevated portion of the runway nearest the front end of the frame, and a longitudinally extending jumping mat disposed on the opposite end of the frame with one end thereof adjacent the rear end of the frame with the mat projecting longitudinally outwardly therefrom and marked off by transversely extending lines to indicate relative distances from the rear end of the trampolene frame.
Abstract:
A PROCESS IS PROVIDED FOR THE HYDROLYSIS OF POLYHALOBENZENE TO POLYHALO PHENOLS IN GOOD YIELDS AND PURITY BY INITIALLY REACTING ETHYLENE GLYCOL WITH AN ALKALI METAL HYDROXIDE TO OBTAIN A MIXTURE COMPRISING ETHYLENE GLYCOL ALKALI METAL DERIVATIVE, ALKALI METAL HYDROXIDE AND ETHYLENE GLYCOL, ADDING TO THE LATTER MIXTURE AN ALKANE OF FROM 6 TO 14 CARBON ATOMS OR MIXTURES OF THE SAME, SUCH AS MINERAL SPIRITS OR DEODORIZED KEROSENE, THEN INTRODUCING A POLYHALOBENZENE, WHEREBY HYDROLYSIS OF THE LATTER OCCURS AND, THEREAFTER, RECOVERING THE SO-HYDROLYZED BENZENE.
Abstract:
A first system for energizing a d-c motor includes a switching network for passing energy to and from a battery, and to the d-c motor. The battery can energize the motor over the switching network, and the battery can be recharged over a first channel supplied with a-c energy which is rectified and passed through the switching network to the battery. A second channel provides power control to regulate the level of d-c energy to the motor and thus control motor speed, and also provide an indication of the battery power available. A third channel energizes an r-f oscillator over the switching network from the battery. The a-c voltage from the r-f oscillator is rectified, filtered and applied to an alternate d-c motor. Another system includes a pair of d-c motor groups, with two separate channels for energizing each motor group simultaneously or independently. This provides a steering function in addition to the optional battery charging speed control arrangements already described.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a telescoping trailer hitching post having a ball coupling member at its upper end for coupling engagement with a coupling socket at the front end of a trailer tongue, a pair of rings welded to opposite sides of the post, a chain anchored at its one end to one of the rings and adapted to be wrapped around the trailer tongue and locked by means of a padlock to the one or to the opposite ring to prevent theft of the trailer. A ground receptacle is anchored in concrete with its upper end flush with the surface of the ground, and the post is telescoped within the receptacle between a completely housed position within the receptacle and a raised position above the ground. A pair of vertically spaced discs are provided near the bottom end of the post, for cooperative engagement with a vertical key welded to the inside of the receptacle adjacent its top edge to support the post in the raised position and to prevent the post from being pulled out of the receptacle.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for energy analysis of a stream of moving electrons by effecting electrostatic segregation and counting of an electron portion having a preselected kinetic energy.
Abstract:
A mechanism operative to selectively discharge substantially all or only a major portion of the water within the flush tank of a toilet. The mechanism includes a single operator shiftable in a first direction from a rest position for discharging substantially all of the water in the flush tank and in the opposite direction for discharging only a minor portion of the water within the flush tank. The mechanism is constructed whereby it may be readily incorporated into existing flush tank mechanisms by the addition of certain components and substitution of other components for some of the components of conventional flush tank mechanisms.
Abstract:
Male incontinence device comprising the combination of a funnel element and a thin rubber sheath element adapted for application to the male member to transmit voiding of urine by the patient with connector means for preventing leakage between said elements. An additional resilient element is provided for retaining the sheath upon the male member.
