A tractor and, in particular, a tractor having an improved frame structure for permitting same to be easily assembled and maintained by nonskilled personnel. The frame structure comprises a rectangular frame having an upwardly extending seat support member, the lower ends of the seat support member having a draw bar device pivotally mounted thereon. The tractor is provided with a rear axle housing which has a pair of substantially parallel bracket plates fixedly secured thereto, which bracket pl...

Tractor, especially farm tractor. A tractor construction is disclosed which is particularly adaptable for manufacture as a plurality of independent units, shipment of same in knock-down form and assembly and maintenance by unskilled labor using only simple tools. The construction comprises a unitary frame member together with independent and separable components including a front end assembly, an engine assembly, a control unit assembly and a rear end assembly. Each of these assemblies are mount...

A tearing eye doll having a pair of synthetic eyes, each formed by an eye-shaped porous block whose face simulates the white of a human eye, and an impermeable disc seated in a recess in the face and colored to simulate an iris and a pupil therein. Received in a cavity within the block behind the disc is a nozzle for injecting water into the block, the water passing through the pores and emerging from the face to form a water film thereon from which tears drop, thereby simulating tearing activit...

A mechanism, including a memory, sequences operation in a controlled processor. Each operation is stored in memory together with a portion indicating the current state of predecessor operations required to be completed before execution of the current operation. Also associated with the current operation is provision for at least one address of a successor operation. A predecessor portion is updated as the predecessor operations are performed and at a predetermined state, the current operation is...

A method and an apparatus for repairing a shroud in which one or more shroud girth seam welds have experienced SCC. The method involves the placement of a plurality of brackets around the outer circumference of the shroud at a plurality of azimuthal positions. Each bracket has circular holes for receiving respective tapered pin assemblies. Corresponding circular holes are machined in the shroud wall at positions which will align with the holes in the bracket. Each tapered pin assembly is inserte...

A dietary fiber product obtained from the Indian mulberry (Morinda citrifolia) plant and the process of extracting and purifying the fiber is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the Indian mulberry pulp is washed and separated from the juice by filtration. The wet pulp is pasteurized. The wet pulp can be further processed by drying. A high fiber products can be prepared by mixing the pulp with ingredients, such as supplemental dietary fiber, water, sweeteners, flavoring agents, coloring agen...

A laser system wherein reaction products from the detonation of a condensed explosive expand to form a gaseous medium with low translational temperature but high vibration population. Thermal pumping of the upper laser level and de-excitation of the lower laser level occur during the expansion, resulting in a population inversion. The expansion may be free or through a nozzle as in a gas-dynamic configuration. In one preferred embodiment, the explosive is such that its reaction products are CO.s...

Modules integral with the body of the assembly include one for drop wire connections, one for subscriber wire connections, one for an electronics interface, and one for a network interface device. Protective sealant material within the assembly protects contacts from corrosion and other deterioration, and from shorting. Sealant plungers and a chamber containing a compressed gas impose compressive forces upon the sealant material. Shunt plugs associated with two of the modules permit signal trans...

A document card reading system comprising a pneumatic switch assembly located opposite an air plenum and between which perforated document cards are passed. The plenum and switch assembly have aligned air discharge and reception ports between which jetted air flows when not blocked by a document card, and each of the reception ports is connected with a circular portion of a flexible film carrying a helical copper cladding contact portion. A contact board is disposed above the helical contact por...
