Abstract: RETENTION STRUCTURE FOR A FLANGE BASED INFLATOR OF AN AIRBAG RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY                 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           An inflator, which is shorter than a reaction can of an airbag restraint assembly and which has a flanged base at one end thereof,  is mounted in the reaction can.   The mounting structure for the flange based inflator has a generally circular open cylindrical shape, with its sidewall terminated on one end in a mounting flange and terminating in an inwardly tapered conical flange at the other end.   The mounting structure is located in an access opening in an end wall of the reaction can, with the inwardly tapered conical flange frictionally engaging and holding the flanged base of the inflator in the reaction can by  biased  radially  compressive  force,  thereby  providing essentially rattle- and squeak-free retention of the flange based inflator in the reaction can in an appropriately positioned and centered manner.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improved agricultural seeding; especially useful in no-till direct seeding. In the illustrated embodiment an inclined furrow is cut with a rotating disk that is inclined with respect to the vertical and the horizontal; the furrow has a raised lip, and root stalks are cleaved during the cutting. Seed is inserted by known means, and then a packer wheel, preferentially inclined in vertical and horizontal directions opposite to those the disk is inclined, runs across the lip and closes the furrow. Advantages include substantially reduced energy required for the furrow cutting, less weight required on the furrowing disk, more even seeding depth, less hairpinning, less soil disturbance, and less weed seed burial.

Title: Castable infrared illuminant compositions
Inventor: NIELSON DANIEL B
IPC: C06B45/10
Filed: 1993-06-14
Abstract: Compositions are provided which, when burned, produce significant levels of infrared radiation, but only limited levels of visible radiation. The basic components of the compositions include a binder, an oxidizer, and a fuel, where the binder also acts as the fuel. Preferred oxidizers include those compounds which produce large quantities of infrared radiation when the flare com-position is burned. Such oxidizers include potassium nitrate, cesium nitrate, rubidium nitrate, and combinations of these com-pounds. Selection of the binder is important in order to provide the composition with the desirable characteristics identified above. The binder of the present invention does not produce significant soot. At the same time, the binder serves to form a com-position which is processible, avoids chunking, and is compatible with the oxidizers used. It has been found that polymer binders which include relatively short carbon chains (1-6 continuous carbon atoms) are preferred. Examples of such polymers include polyesters, polyethers, polyamides and polyamines.

Title: Pulsed electronic article surveillance device employing expert system techniques for dynamic optimization
Inventor: BALCH BRENT F
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 1995-08-01
Abstract: An electronic article surveillance system has a receiver with a plurality of receiving coils. Each coil in the system is treated as a separate detection unit with its own noise environment which is distinct from the noise environments of the other coils in the system. This allows the system to optimize its performance by maximizing the sensitivity of each coil according to its own local noise environment. In EAS systems in accordance with the invention, the priority of the detection routines is to keep an accurate and up-to-date picture of the noise environment for each coil in "noise phases" and to look for tags during "transmit phases". Upon tag detection, a controller establishes a validation sequence comprising a number of cycles and can change the number of cycles adaptively to the noise environment.
