A portable device capable of being removably supported within the metal passenger carrying body of an automobile vehicle to receive high and low frequency short wave radio signals when the vehicle is in the line of sight area in which such signals are broadcast. The body of the vehicle becomes alternately charged by the broadcast electromagnetic signals, and as a result thereof emanates secondary electromagnetic waves. The present device is disposed adjacent to the interior surface of the body b...

A method of improving orthopedic implant material by the simultaneous eleodeposition of bone particles and an inert plastic binder onto a prosthesis is provided. A polyamic acid is dissolved in a solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide and an amine is added to the solution to produce the organic salt of a free carboxyl group. A colloidal suspension of the organic salt and fine bone particles in a mixed solvent comprised of acetone and dimethylsulfoxide is placed in a receptacle and a voltage is applie...

A toy in the shape of a dollhouse which can be opened to reveal a furnished house containing diminutive appliances, fixtures and furniture. Some of the diminutive applicances, fixtures and furniture may also be opened to reveal rooms having even more diminutive appliances, furniture and fixtures, with the decor of the rooms being related to the appliance, fixture or item of furniture which contains the room.

A generally cylindrical tubular sleeve member sized for easy clearance within a conduit. The tubular sleeve member has a shaped mouth on at least one end for freeing a cable adhered to the inside of the conduit when the sleeve member is drawn longitudinally through the conduit with the cable passing through the inside sleeve space. In one embodiment, a portion of the sleeve wall is hinged for placement over an in-service cable and in another embodiment an end portion of the sleeve is rotatable t...

Antiperspirant formulations are provided in which water-immiscible adjuvants are encapsulated in thick-walled, hollow, substantially spherical particles of antiperspirant active, which is preferably a water-soluble compound or complex of a polyvalent metal or metals. The thick-walled particles resist rupture during normal handling and application of the antiperspirant formulation and provide slow release of the encapsulated adjuvant when the antiperspirant shell dissolves in perspiration. The ad...

An arrester for a discrete body being transported through a closely fitting ipeline by liquid flow, consisting of a final length of pipe with enlarged bore which gradually tapers to a minimum cross section at its closeable end. When the end is closed, a discrete body carried axially into this enlarged bore is decelerated by the action of liquid in the end bore being forced back past the body. Suitable shaping of the taper governs the rate of deceleration. The invention is particularly applicable...

A SMIF interface is disclosed for buffering one or more cassettes within a minienvironment affixed to a process tool. The interface includes a load port formed of a port door and a port plate circumjacent thereabout, and a minienvironment mounted to port plate. The SMIF interface and/or process tool includes at least one shelf for storing a cassette after the load port separates the cassette from its transport pod. In operation, while a first cassette is located within the process tool, a second...

A container that is arranged on rollers and can be rotated by either rotary drive system or manually about its longitudinal axis within a stacking frame is configured as a body of rotation and provided inside with a mechanical delivery and fluidizing system. One of the container bottoms serves as a voiding bottom and is combined with a voiding system that comprises a passage for the bulk material that passes through a central opening in the voiding bottom. The opposite container bottom serves as...

A beverage container having a metallic lid with a bend down panel on the lid to define an opening for the lid. A rupturable score line separates the panel from the lid and facilitates detachment of the panel from the lid and bending of the panel downwardly to provide the opening while a portion of the panel remains hingedly attached to the lid. A non-detachable pull tab is secured to the top of the lid for applying a manual force for rupturing the score line and bending the lid downwardly. A rot...

A special arrangement of a module with serial coupling possibility is described. The module is characterized by at least one angular attachment projecting vertically from the front or visible surface and which as a result of its arrangement and shaping serves as a gripping strip, cable guide and fastening aid. The fastening of the module within a casing frame is provided by a clip fastening (20) with two clearly defined swivel positions. Advantageously there are two angular attachments on the fr...
