Abstract: A light weight and compact geophone assembly for detecting transient seismic signals along orthogonal axes has a plurality of geophones (46,48,50) arranged within close proximity of each other within a compact housing (28,30). The geophones are interconnected to a conductor cable (26) passing through the housing in a unique water-tight sealing arrangement. At the cable entrance into the housing, the conductor cable is surrounded by a tapered boot (92) compressed about the cable by a sleeve (120) which in turn is fixed in place by a locking nut (126). The locking nut is received by complementary threads at the cable entrance into the housing. When tightened, the locking nut forces the compression sleeve over the tapered surface of the boot, compressing the boot about the cable. In addition, the locking nut and compression sleeve urge the boot in compression between the cable and the housing. Located atop of the housing is a bubble leveling device (68). The level is recessed within the top of the housing and is equipped with a means for magnifying the bubble level. The bottom of the housing is equipped with ground coupling spikes (24) to engage the housing with the earth. After the geophone assembly is firmly coupled to the earth, the operator adjusts the depth of each spike to level the housing. A level housing assures proper operation of the enclosed geophones within the housing.

Title: Biosensor electrode excitation circuit.
Inventor: PARKS ROBERT A
IPC: G01N27/327
Filed: 1990-12-14
Abstract: A circuit is described for applying a potential to an electrode of a biosensing test cell, which electrode, when properly inserted in a female connector, is contacted by a pair spaced apart contacts. The circuit includes a source of excitation potential and an operational amplifier having one input connected to the source of excitation potential. A switching circuit is coupled between the operational amplifier and a first one of the spaced apart contacts, with the switch means exhibiting an impedance. A feedback circuit is connected between the second of the spaced-apart contacts and another input to the operational amplifier, to feed back a potential appearing at the second contact. The feedback is for the purpose of maintaining the output of the operational amplifier at a level which compensates for impedance losses in the swtiching circuit. The feedback circuit enables the output of the operational amplifier to be varied so that the potential applied to the electrode is equal to the source of excitation potential. A further circuit is connected to the feedback circuit for sensing when an open or high impedance state exists between the spaced-apart contacts.

Title: Closure with irreversible color change system.
Inventor: HEILMAN ROBERT J
IPC: G09F3/03
Filed: 1991-07-03
Abstract: This relates to a color change system to be incorporated in a flexing area of an end panel of a closure. The color change system includes a dark background coating on a flexing portion of the closure end panel to which there is bonded by way of an adhesive such as a varnish, ink or coating a brittle layer which due to the flipping action of the flexing portion of the end panel will fracture. The brittle layer is preferably of a light color and is colored utilizing a fluorescent dye. The combination of the background color and the fluorescent color of the brittle layer produces a first color in the original closure and when the end panel flexes and the brittle layer fractures to not only crack but also tear apart or delaminate from itself, to reflect its own light color much more brilliantly, the color of the color change system drastically changes to indicate tampering. This color change is irreversible. The color change system may also include a message indicia.

Title: Formage de barres de protection pour massicots
Inventor: BUENZLI PAUL
IPC: B26D7/20
Filed: 1991-10-24
Abstract: Une barre en matière plastique empêche la lame d'un massicot de toucher le dessus de la table de travail et protège donc celui-ci contre des endommagements. La nouveauté de l'invention réside dans la forme spéciale de la barre, qui permet de fabriquer celle-ci par extrusion à partir de polypropylène ou d'un matériau similaire, sans façonnages ultérieurs. La barre est comprimée dans la rainure existant dans les dessus de tables de travail usuelles et a approximativement la même section transversale rectangulaire que la rainure. Deux bourrelets longitudinaux (3) s'étendant sur les deux surfaces latérales étroites (1) de la barre rendent celle-ci légèrement plus large que la rainure, ce qui fait qu'elle est latéralement serrée lorsqu'elle est comprimée dans la rainure, sans que son épaisseur se modifie. La déformabilité requise est assurée grâce à deux cavités (2) ménagées dans la barre le long de ses faces latérales étroites (1).

Abstract: A coconut shell char having a high oxygen volumetric capacity is provided by crushing and sizing coconut shells to form granules which are then heated in flowing inert gas at a temperature ramp rate of about 2 to 12°C per minute to a peak temperature of 775 to 900°C which is then held so that the total heating time is up to 8 hours and thereafter the granular char is cooled in an inert gas atmosphere. The granular char thus produced is oxygen selective in air separation without further modification to narrow the openings of its micropores and has an oxygen volumetric capacity in excess of 8.0 cc/cc. Further modification of this char is provided by contacting it with an oxidizing atmosphere of carbon dioxide or a mixture of inert gas and carbon dioxide, H₂O or O₂ at temperatures ranging from 650 to 900°C until the gasified char has been altered so that its volumetric oxygen capacity is greater than 9.0 cc/cc. The coconut shell char can be further modified directly as prepared or following a gasification procedure by treatment with volatile carbon-containing organic compound which is pyrolyzed to form carbon which reduces the effective pore openings of the original or gasified char.
