A windshield seal has a base, to be connected to windshield molding. The base is generally parallel to a windshield in a section view. A primary sealing lip is connected at an inboard end of the base, to contact the windshield. A secondary sealing lip is connected to an outboard end of the base, to contact the windshield. The primary sealing lip generally points inboard and toward the windshield and the secondary sealing lip generally points outboard and toward the windshield. An inboard leg is ...

An electrical connector for a medical instrument has a plug containing a plurality of pins in electrical communication with wires emanating from a shielded cable that is connected to a medical sensor detecting physiological data. The plug portion of the electrical connector substantially surrounds the connection of the pins with the cable in a plastic housing. When the plug is inserted in to a socket portion of the connector mounted to a medical instrument housing, the pins electrically communic...

A technique particularly useful for measuring the flying characteristics of a magnetic recording head on an air bearing adjacent a rotating disk is described. According to this technique one of a plurality of magnetic transducers mounted in the moving disk records a line of signals of known amplitude and wavelength on a magnetic recording surface placed on the recording head being evaluated. The signal amplitude is read from this line of recorded signals as the disk rotates, and the relative spa...

In the manufacture of a fiberglass reinforced plastic part a chopped glass fiber reinforced, thermosetting resin is placed in a mold cavity. A continuous filament fiberglass cylinder impregnated with the same resin used in the above formulation without chopped fiberglass is placed in the stud support areas of the mold. The mold is then closed and the resin subjected to heat and pressure to cause it to completely fill the mold cavity and cure. The cured part has woven fiberglass reinforcements in...

In a continuous casting plant of the wheel and belt type, the grooved casting wheel 11, and the associated belt or band 12, are tilted laterally so that the plane of rotation is inclined. As a result, the cast bar 30 emerges from the casting wheel without any horizontal surface, and passes to bar preparation machinery with this orientation, prior to being rolled.

There is described a hinged structure comprising two supports and one or more hinges hinging the supports together so that they are parallel and closely adjacent, the or each hinge comprising two hinge members, each hinge member being made of resilient strip material, each hinge member being S-shaped, passing partially round each support and together with the other hinge member forming a letter .chi. or FIG. 8 configuration as seen in a direction along the supports, wherein a releasable catch is...

In a hinged structure in which two substantially cylindrical supports (1,2) are hinged together by means of one or more hinges so that they are parallel and closely adjacent, the or each hinge comprises at least two members (3,4) each made of resiliently flexible strip material, each member being S-shaped, passing partially around each support and together with one of the other members forming a letter "x" or figure "8" configuration as seen in a direction along the supports, the ends of the str...

In a diagnostic apparatus system, a one piece porous substrate is located in a container. The substrate serves both to extract an antigen in or on a top layer with the remainder of the substrate serving as a reservoir. The pores in the top surface of the substrate are microscopic for entrapment of microspheres carrying antibodies. A target antigen in a test sample attaches to the antibodies when the test sample is poured through the top layer. The pores in all but the top layer of the substrate ...
