An animal skinning machine. Upper and lower clamp guide trackways guide clamp carriages between which a clamp body is mounted. A first clamp and a clamp frame are carried by the clamp body. Clamp actuators carried by the clamp frame support a second clamp which is movable between a released position spaced from the first clamp and an engaged position for cooperating with the first clamp for engagi...

Disposable diapers having elasticized waistbands which allow the diapers to breathe and which reduce the incidence of waistband rollover. The waistbands are formed by affixing elastic elements between the topsheets and the backsheets (in the waistband region of the diapers) using regularly spaced, transversely extending regions of securement. Regions of nonsecurement are formed between pairs of th...

ELECTROOPTICAL DISPLAY/LEAD FRAME SUBASSEMBLY AND TIMEPIECE MODULE INCLUDING SAME The electrooptical display/lead frame subassembly comprises (a) a conductive lead frame having an integrated circuit chip supported thereon and having aplurality of conductor members terminating in a pattern of spaced resilient contact fingers defining an enclosure of selected shape therebetween and (b) an electroopt...

Compositions for cleaning and priming a surface comprising a solution of titanium acetylacetonate; alkanol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; alkanol selected from methylethylketone, methylisobutylketone, acetone and their mixture; and water. The compositions, which perform both cleaning and priming in a one-step operation, cure quickly allowing rapid painting.

An inorganic titanium coating, such as a hot end coating for glass containers, is applied to a glass surface by contacting the glass surface, which is at an elevated temperature, for example at least 371 DEG C., with a solution of a tetraalkyl titanate such as tetraisopropyl titanium, in a vehicle comprising a normally liquid ester of a fatty acid or a silicone fluid.

SHUTTER FOR VENTILATION SYSTEMS A pivoted louver type shutter for ventilation systems with flaps made from a hollow section fitted in a frame and capable of twisting and with lateral seals between the flaps and the frame, the seals being made from foam sheet and the hollow section of the flaps being pressed directly with its front edges into the foam sheet.

La présente invention concerne l'opalisation de lampes par voie gazeuse avec réalisation à l'intérieur de la lampe d'un dépôt de silice par oxydation par l'oxygène de silane. Selon le procédé le dépôt de silice est formé par oxydation par l'oxygène, à travers un arc électrique, de silane dilué, à faible concentration de 0,1 à 3% en volume, dans un gaz inerte vis à vis du silane. Le procédé s'appli...

A process and apparatus for killing organisms in situ within a host by means of successive short-duration high-current-density pulses of electricity of alternately opposite polarity. These pulses are passed through the host and concomitantly the organisms for a period of a few seconds. The cellular structure of the host is not destroyed, nor is the temperature thereof appreciably elevated. The cur...

Method of and apparatus for killing microorganisms in a substance, characterized by the step of conjointly generating a magnetic field and an electrohydraulic discharge and subjecting every differential volume of the substance to the combined physical magnetic field and the electrohydraulic discharge of lethal intensity at least once. The physical magnetic field is at least of a sufficient intensi...

A shield protector device for use with artificial insemination instruments and/or culture collection devices, consisting of an inner tubular portion movable relative to an outer tubular sheath protector portion, includes a cylindrical housing having a closed end, which is sealingly attached to the distal end of the outer tubular sheath protector portion. The closed end of the housing is scored to ...

Stack handling apparatus includes an input delivery section having two spaced apart conveyor segments operatively arranged to move equidistantly with respect to a centerline between the two conveyor segments. A stack formation section receives articles conveyed in a serial stream from the input delivery section and includes a carriage having a blade apparatus which is maintained at a generally con...

A ream collection lift table and asssociated transfer conveyor system are contained in a unitary assembly which is mounted beneath a sheet discharge end of a sheeting machine. The lift table portion utilizes a scissors-elevating structure for reciprocating a sheet collection surface. The elevating structure includes criss-crossed, collapsible scissors arms, each provided with shaped profile surfac...

An automatic wafer alignment station is disclosed for aligning a wafer having flats about its centroid with the flats oriented in a preselected spatial direction. The wafer is held by a vacuum chuck which is operatively connected to a motor driven carriage for controlled movement about an X axis, to a theta actuator carried by the carriage for controlled rotation about the axis of the chuck, and...

A child resistant actuator cap for a pressurized aerosol dispener or the like operates in only one relative alignment of the cap and a collar affixed to the container. Alignment is signalled to the user by a predetermined number of clicks of a flexible blade following a blank space which produces no clicks.

A storing installation for carrying a number of helically extending turns of an endless conveyor belt laid upon one another in a pile, where the various belt turns in the pile are supported by one another, comprises two endless chains which are arranged under the belt pile, support the two edge portions of the belt and are carried by supports, said chains being each adapted, after the ingoing or o...

A system for providing temporary water service between a water main and one or more locations normally connected to the main in which a pipeline is provided above ground and has a supply section and a return section which are connected to the main. Each of the locations are connected between the supply section and the return section. The water is circulated from said supply section, through said l...
