A lighting device for use with a fishing line is the subject of the present invention. A base support which is positionable on the ground or floor of a boat mounts an elongated transparent tubular member. Within the tubular member is contained a light bulb, battery and gravity activated switch. The tubular member is pivotally mounted relative to the base support and will always assume a vertical upright position regardless of the angle of the supporting surface. A pair of V-grip couplers at the ...

The invention relates to a method of ciphering data transmission in a radio system, and to a user equipment using the method, and to a radio network subsystem using the method. The method includes the steps of: (602) generating a ciphering key; (604A) producing a ciphering mask in a ciphering algorithm using the ciphering key as an input parameter; (604B) using a logical channel specific parameter or a transport channel specific parameter as an additional input parameter to the ciphering algorit...

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) of flat billets to control material structure and properties. The improvements of the method include the special systems of billet orientations, billet lubrication, billet ejection from dies, and a press/die control system those eliminate surface cracks, flashes and billet reshaping or deburring between passes. Therefore, multi-pass ECAE becomes a cost-effective industrial operation and may be applied to la...

A termiticide dispensing system, installed prior to pouring the slab foundation of a building, has a plurality of tubular units of minimal length, each having a single inlet and a single outlet, positioned and secured so that the inlet end will extend above the slab, in a location accessible after building completion, and the outlet end will extend through the slab to the underlying soil adjacent a water or drain line, so that a controlled quantity of termiticide may be dispensed through the sla...

A injection plug assembly for insertion internally into a walled structure to permit safe access to and wide distribution of a fluid, liquid or powder spray into that walled structure. The assembly comprises an elongated outer sleeve arranged to pinch any thickness wall structure and an elongated delivery bolt arranged to be received through the outer sleeve. The elongated bolt has a radially directed fluid distribution channel therein.

A tool having a stationary base mount, a moveable base mount, and clamps for use in coupling pipes. The tool includes a gear device for moving the moveable base mount with respect to the stationary base mount. A first clamp device is positioned on the stationary base mount for clamping a first pipe. A second clamp device is positioned on the moveable base mount for clamping a second pipe. After a slip connector is positioned between the first and second pipes, the gear device is actuated to caus...

A machine for fining/polishing ophthalmic lenses has a horizontal and vertical plates rigidly fixed in an inverted T. Eccentric shafts journalled 180 degrees out of phase on the horizontal plate orbit tools on one side of the vertical plate. A swing frame pivotally mounted on the other side of the vertical plate has a horizontal shaft parallel to the vertical plate. Shafts orthogonal to the horizontal shaft are journalled for see-saw motion about the horizontal shaft, for rotational motion about...

A double lumen introducing needle includes a hub having diametrically opposing mounting and distal ends connected by an at least substantially straight axial passageway. A side passageway branches from a junction between the ends and extends away from the junction and the distal end of the hub at an acute angle to the reminder of the axial passageway and terminates in a separate side port. A first, inner lumen extends continuously and unbrokenly from the side passageway through the junction alon...

A semiconductor light emitting device and a semiconductor laser device having an epitaxial growth layer composed of a III-V group nitride semiconductor. An AlN buffer layer, an n-type GaN intermediate layer, an n-type Al.sub.1-x Ga.sub.X N cladding layer, an In.sub.1-Y Ga.sub.Y N active layer and a p-type Al.sub.1-X Ga.sub.X N cladding layer, and a p-type GaN contact layer are successively formed on an n-type 6H--SiC substrate having a {0001} crystal growth plane. A p-side electrode is formed on...

A rotary-driven amusement device in which passenger bearing carriages traverse an endless and circuitous generally spiraling railway track. The device is mounted on a rotary support table and has a portion of the endless track disposed in an upwardly spiraling fashion at the center of the rotary table and up which the carriages are traversed by engagement of the carriages with peripheral portions of a concentrically inwardly disposed vertically oriented, reellike pushing frame, responsive to rel...
