Apparatus for forming a cased glass stream having an inner core glass surrounded by an outer casing glass that includes a spout for delivering core glass from a first source through a first orifice. A second orifice is vertically spaced beneath and aligned with the first orifice, and is surrounded by an annular chamber that communicates with the second orifice through a gap between the first and second orifices. A tube delivers casing glass from the outlet opening of a casing glass spout to the ...

An apparatus for diagnostic and verification imaging in radiation therapy that consists of attachments for standard radiotherapy equipment comprising an x-ray tube and an x-ray detector placed on opposite sides of a patient along the main axis of the beam produced by the treatment unit. The detector is placed on a plane orthogonal to the axis of the treatment beam and between the beam source and the patient, while the x-ray tube is placed on the other side of the patient, coaxially with the trea...

Automatic hair washing device comprising a helmet having a plurality of showers, an electric circuit for water heating with power dissipation depending on the water temperature, and an electric circuit for selectively supplying water only to some showers at a time and alternating pure water with water containing hair treatment solutions. Hair washing is carried out with said hair continuously moved by alternate water jets, so that the cleaning thereof is perfect.

In an apparatus for the hydrotherapeutic treatment of breasts, the spray unit which rotates in the bottom of the conventional hollow bell-shaped body is made of two frustro-conical members, preferably of molded plastics, which are applied against each other, one at least of their facing sides being formed with grooves which realize in the assembly radial canals and tangential nozzles adapted to propel the unit by reaction effect, while the inner frustro-conical member has radial lines of perfora...

There is disclosed a LIQUOR useful as a natural herbicide and also, when diluted with water, useful as a plant micronutrient.

A fingernail and hand cleaning apparatus applies pulsating jets of liquid to the ends of the fingers of a user's hand while the hand is positioned in a grooved hand rest within the apparatus. Additional pulsating jets of liquid are applied to other areas of the user's hand to provide cleansing and massaging action.

In a method of compressing electroencephalographic signals, the signals are compressed by the encoding of the differences between values of the signal and values estimated by a predictor with the use of variable-length codes with prefixes.

A method for manufacturing an electrophotographic photosensitive member capable of providing high quality even images, which are completely free from image defects and unevenness of image density, which comprises a step for forming a non-monocrystalline deposited film comprising silicon atoms and hydrogen atoms and/or fluorine atoms on an aluminum substrate containing a fine quantity of silicon atoms by a plasma CVD method, wherein the surface of the substrate is cleaned with water in which carb...

Apparatus for applying fluid pressure at spaced, predetermined locations on a foot or hand including a cabinet of multi-wall construction having an interior for accommodating the hand or foot. A plenum formed by the walls of the cabinet is pressurized with a fluid to direct the fluid into contact with the hand or foot. Suitable structure is provided to position the hand or foot at a predetermined location within the interior spaced from the apertures.

A sensor array pad for sensing the pressure distribution under a saddle on the back of a horse includes a membrane made of first and second, identical substantially non-stretchable, flexible membrane portions. The membrane portions have adjacent facing edges that are joined at two spaced-apart tabs. A plurality of sensors are distributed substantially uniformly on the membrane, with each sensor occupying a predetermined surface area. Conductors are mounted on the membrane to extend between the s...
