A closure having a metal shell (2) and a synthetic resin liner (4). The liner has at least one annular projection (10). The diameter of the liner is less than the diameter of a skirt (8) depending from a top surface (6) of the shell so that a space is formed between the skirt and the liner. A tab (16) extends into the space.

The target includes an L-shaped member in which the short leg defines a fixed jaw. A second jaw is slidably mounted on the long arm of the member, which jaw is associated with latching means so that the two jaws can engage against the opposite side walls of a tire and be retained thereby. A second arm is spaced from and attached to the first arm and slidably carries a scale.

The invention relates to chroman derivatives of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, substituted phenyl, phenyl, phenyl-lower alkyl, substituted phenyl-lower alkyl or lower alkyl-amino-lower alkyl; R.sub.2 is ##STR2## R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 each is independently selected from hydrogen, hydroxy, amino, -o-acyl, -o-lower alkyl; ##STR3## halogen, lower alkyl, or halo substituted lower alkyl; and salts and hydrates thereof. These compounds are useful ...

An apparatus for atomizing a large quantity of liquid such as water, liquid fuels, lotions or the like, comprises an atomizer including a body having a pressurization cavity for containing a liquid. A nozzle base, mounted on the body, has a plurality of orifices communicating with the pressurization cavity. An electric vibrator, mounted on the body, responds to an alternating voltage derived from an electric circuit. The vibrator is vibrated back and forth, to expel successively a large quantity...

A seat brake is provided for use in a vehicle having a seat movable between a lower position when weight is placed on the seat and an upper position when weight is removed from the seat, and having a brake selectively engageable to brake the vehicle. The seat brake causes the brake to be engaged when the seat moves to the upper position and causes the brake to be disengaged when the seat moves to the lower position. The seat brake also includes a lockout assembly for selectively causing the brak...

A correlation technique that has application in sonar, radar, and communiions and involves separately detecting, simultaneously with two separate means, signal energy from one source, which signal energy has traversed non-identical paths, binary quantizing the two separately detected waveforms, sampling the two binary quantized waveforms at an identical rate, delaying the quantized binary sampling of one detected waveform with respect to the quantized binary sampling of the other by an increment...

A diffuser for use with a centrifugal compressor utilizes a symmetric arrangement of vanes which direct the gas flow along a plurality of passageways that are substantially tangential to the outer periphery of the impeller. Each vane making up the array is pivotally mounted near its opposite ends. Controls are provided so that rotation of the vane assembly about the innermost set of pivot points will vary the cross-sectional area of the ducts formed between adjacent vane members. This allows eff...

A two-stage diffuser is disclosed which is intended to be used with a high pressure ratio centrifugal compressor. The first stage comprises a vaneless diffuser passage having rotating sidewalls that freely turn on bearings mounted coaxially with the compressor rotor. The second stage comprises a stationary vaned-type diffuser. In combination, the two stages provide a compact diffuser having improved efficiency. Gas flow leaving the compressor from the periphery of the impeller at supersonic spee...

A semiconductor photocathode is described in which the electron emission is obtained from a P-type semiconductor into which free electrons are injected from the source or drain of an FET whose channel is normally blocked. Incident photons absorbed in the channel region unblock the FET causing electron emission. Preferably, the device comprises an imaging array of FET's and associated electron emitters.

In radiators, especially in automotive vehicles, covers for throttling the cooling air disposed in front of such radiators are exposed to damage, dirt, we well as the danger of icing, so that their function can be impaired. In order to overcome these disadvantages, it is disclosed to subdivide the radiator into two groups disposed in series in the flow direction of the cooling air, with an interspace therebetween wherein the cover is guided.
