The module is provided with input and output electrical contacts which are arranged to receive conventional cable terminations. The input and output contacts are respectively brought out from the interior of the module body to exposed connection pins. There are as many exposed connection pins as there are input and output contacts. Connections are made between or among the several connection pins by conventional means in order to change the scheme or arrangement of wiring connections in an elect...

A refrigeration compressor for vehicles provided with a discharging port formed at a cap portion thereof for discharging compressed refrigerant and with a suction port formed in a crank shaft room for leading the refrigerant thereinto. The cap portion is provided with several component passages for discharging refrigerant having different size spaces and different directions so that the cap functions as a muffler.

The device retains fluid which drips therein from at least one portion of the vehicle. The motor vehicle being a car, truck, bus, racing car and even a boat. A generated draft of air, generated by the forward drive motion of at least one of the vehicles, over and aga...

The invention relates to a method of lowering the blood sugar content in mammals by exploiting the hypoglycemic activity of certain pentacyclic triterpene derivatives such as mixtures of glycyrrhetinic acids and their esters, to treat obese diabetic subjects.

An optical displayer such as a motion picture or slide projector is used in conjunction with a sound reproducer, each reproducing from a film, tape, or other device. The controls for the feeding of the respective devices through the optical displayer and the sound reproducer are interrelated so that first one and then the other controls the feeding of itself and/or the other. In a preferred embodiment, the optical displayer feeds for a predetermined period of time, it then causes the sound repro...

Apparatus for controlling the speed of a vehicle in accordance with a predetermined schedule by manipulating the vehicle's accelerator and brake pedals. A program generator generates a reference signal that is proportional to the desired speed of the vehicle during the predetermined schedule. The reference signal is compared with a feedback signal that is proportional to the actual speed of the vehicle by a signal generating network which generates a control signal in accordance with the differe...

An intercept connector for providing alternative bridging connections between terminals is disclosed in which circuit paths and contact clips are combined on a circuit board in predetermined circuit configurations.

Method and apparatus for determining the nitric oxide content of a sample gas stream. The nitric oxide in the gas stream is reacted with an excess amount of ozone so as to completely convert the nitric oxide into nitrogen dioxide. The resulting gas containing nitrogen dioxide and residual ozone is passed through a scrubber which removes the ozone and does not affect the nitrogen dioxide content of the gas. The resulting gas is then analyzed for its NO.sub.2 content, which is a function of the ni...

A process for the assay of 2-haloethylphosphonic acid, containing such impurites as esters thereof, 2-hydroxyethylphosphonic acid, vinylphosphonic acid, and/or phosphoric acid, is described. The process comprises: 1. neutralizing an aqueous solution of a sample of 2-haloethylphosphonic acid to a pH in the range of about 8.5-9.6, preferably about 9.3. 2. boiling the neutralized solution for about one-half hour, 3. titrating the thus obtained solution with an alkali to a pH in the range of about 8...

A rotary filling machine which comprises a tunnel disposed substantially from before the filling station to the sealing station of the machine along the direction of travel of a container, and means for introducing an inert gas into the tunnel under a slight positive pressure. The inert gas excludes air from the tunnel and provides an inert gas atmosphere within the tunnel which effectively maintains at a reduced level the oxygen content of the void space of containers being filled. The tunnel h...
