An assembly for the management of incontinence with an absorbent hydrophilic layer behind a hydrophobic layer. The hydrophilic layer is formed of aligned cellulosic staple fibers of at least 0.5 in length and denier in the range of 2 to 7 in a cross-laid web and needled to form a felt which will absorb at least 350% by weight of urine based upon its dry weight.

A hair management or styling implement which is formed generally in the shape of a scissors-type implement, with respect to including a pair of lever-type elongated members pivoted to each other intermediate their ends. Two adjacent ends of the elongated members are in juxtaposition and comprise a pair of handle members for manual grasping and manipulation of the implement in a singular manner by a person's hand in a scissors-type motion. The opposite end of one of the levers has a hair brush, c...

A device is described whereby persons on diets can keep track of allowable foodstuffs for 24-hour time periods by means of an apparatus comprising a thin, color-coded sheet member having an array of apertures arranged in a plurality of mutually perpendicular rows, a multiplicity of removable pegs conveniently rounded to be rotatably secured in the holes, arrangement of said holes being indicative of foodstuffs to be allowed for each meal of the day, and said pegs being color-coded to represent f...

An aircraft fuel management computer for notifying a pilot at a predetermined point of time to switch the fuel selector valve to begin draining fuel from a different fuel tank. A frequency divider provides a logic level at the end of time segments, each having a predetermined length, which are transmitted through an automatic/manual count circuit to activate a decoder to provide output logic levels each of which is coupled to the associated stages of a plurality of automatic program switches eac...

The present invention relates to a waste-management system; and more particularly to such a system that produces potable water. The disclosed waste-management system is adapted to be compacted to a size that fits onto a manually movable cart, or to be expanded to a size adapted to treat domestic and/or industrial waste. The overall system uses safe temperatures and pressures; and may therefor be utilized in many locations previously unavailable for such purposes.

A storage system for a two-phase propellant fluid to provide a simple passive propellant storage device for dispensing in gas-free form the liquid propellant for use typically in an auxiliary propulsion system in a three-axis stabilized spacecraft. The internal structure of the storage tank of the system is formed into three compartments which by capillary action provides for preferrential flow of a selected one of the two fluids, comprising, typically, a pressurant gas and a two-phase propellan...

A method and composition for the management of anaplasmosis which comprises administering to cattle a composition containing the compound of the formula ##EQU1## wherein R.sup.1 is a methyl or ethyl group, R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are different, each being a hydrogen atom, a methyl, or an ethyl group.

An aircraft fuel management system providing accurate and comparable measurement and display of on-board fuel quantity, fuel rate and flight time remaining. This system utilizes capacitance method of fuel gaging and fuel mass flow rate derived from both volumetric flow measurement and capacitance density compensation. These separate measurements -- fuel gaging and mass flow rate -- are combined electronically to obtain "flight time remaining" under prevailing flight conditions.

Pilot-oriented information is displayed on the screen of a cathode ray tube by electronically generated symbols superimposed on a simulated or real-world picture. The symbology uses as one datum a fixed airplane symbol and locates therefrom the airplane's degree of pitch, degree of roll, and the horizon. In addition, symbols are provided to indicate the relative position of the airplane with respect to ILS localizer and glide slope signals, pitch and roll commands obtained from an on-board fligh...

A system and process for managing a plurality of operations and activities of diverse characteristics which when completed result in the production of a complex physical system or object. The managing process comprises step procedures and activities, including man-machine procedures, which step procedures may in instances be independent and in others interdependent and may be in part at least partially concurrent in time. The system effectively optimizes the time-relationships and completions of...
