Abstract: A liquid dispenser for dispensing a liquid from the rim of a toilet bowl such that a controlled, consistent amount of liquid is dispensed into each flush. The liquid dispenser includes a bottle for holding the liquid, a base for holding the bottle and for providing a liquid feed conduit between the bottle and a dispensing plate, and a hook for suspending the base from the rim of the toilet bowl. The dispensing plate is integral with or attached to the base, downwardly inclined at an angle of from about 10 to about 30 degrees from the horizontal, and serves to distribute liquid from the feed conduit to a dispensing position on the upper surface of the dispensing plate where the liquid is contacted by flushing water from the toilet bowl. The dispensing plate has various configurations that assist in the distribution of the liquid to the dispensing position on the upper surface of the dispensing plate. In a preferred version of the liquid dispenser, the dispensing plate has capillary channels in its upper surface for distributing the liquid, which has a viscosity of from about 2000 to about 4000 centipoise from the feed conduit to the dispensing position, and a plurality of engagement means by which the bottle is held in position, as well a barrier means and openings to control flow of liquid on the surface of the dispensing plate.

Abstract: The closure tongue arrangement for a motor vehicle safety belt involves the belt in the outwardly drawn state extending from a deflector or winding device in the vehicle roof interior downwards to two belt locks on either side of a seat. The belt has two closure tongues, which in the upwardly wound state of the belt are held close to each other in a predetermined position against the vehicle roof interior. When the belt is drawn downwards to the locks the tongues are secured in the latter. The two lock tongues (10,12) with the safety belt (2) unrolled are held in balance in relation to a section of the safety belt running from them upwards to the deflector or winding device (8,4).

Abstract: L'invention concerne une unité de détection du mouvement inter-trame destiné à détecter un mouvement inter-trame d'après la valeur définie pour la différence de l'inter-trame. On prévoit une unité de détection de la continuité d'un bord vertical qui a pour mission de calculer la différence entre un pixel d'intérêt et un pixel au-dessus ou au-dessous du pixel d'intérêt contenu dans une image incrustée et de déterminer si un bord vertical venant entre des zones est continu sur le plan horizontal d'après le code de différence, en d'autres mots selon si le code est resté inchangé dans le sens horizontal pour un certain nombre de pixels comprenant le pixel d'intérêt. Lorsque l'on détermine qu'aucun mouvement n'a eu lieu entre les trames et que le bord vertical inter-zone est continu sur le plan horizontal, on considère que l'image est totalement statique.

Abstract: A trefoil for a rotary kiln is provided that has at least three spoke-like refractory legs. Each one of the legs extends radially outwardly from a center of the trefoil; spans approximately from the kiln shell to the center of the kiln; is preformed outside of the kiln for installation as a single-leg unit; and has a mating surface that preferably is uniform and even, thereby lacking interlocking features. The mating surfaces of the legs abut one another at the kiln center to provide mutual support. An alignment member, such as a pair of longitudinal angles, are welded to the kiln shell to position the legs. A corresponding method of installing the trefoil is disclosed that includes positioning and shimming the first two legs at the 4 o'clock position and 8 o'clock position, and installing the third leg at the 12 o'clock position.
