Abstract: A plastic moulded pot for hydroponics growth has slits near the bottom to watering the seedlings and with stamped panels in the upper part of the pot. Each panel has a small hole in its upper end. This enables the user to insert a hook and pull out the panel when the pot is placed into a granular bed for further growth and allows the root growth to spread outside the pot.

Abstract: In a lighter, fuel is stored in a fuel reservoir. The
lighter includes a burner member for burning the fuel, a file
wheel provided with side wheels and a flint which is caused
to strike the file wheel from below. A support post supports
the rotary shaft of the file wheel, and a cap opens and closes
the tip of the burner member. The cap is supported for rotation
on a support shaft at its end remote from the file wheel, is
urged toward its opening position by a spring and is provided
on its end near to the file wheel with a stopper portion which
is adapted to be engaged with the rotary shaft of the file wheel.
The rotary shaft is mounted on the support post to be movable
between its locking position where it is engaged with the
stopper member to keep the cap in the closed position and its
releasing position where it is disengaged from the stopper
portion to permit the cap to be opened under the force of the
spring so that the rotary shaft is moved to the locking position
when the cap is closed and the stopper portion is brought into
abutment against the rotary shaft and to the releasing position
when the side wheels are operated to ignite the fuel on the
burner member.

Abstract: A fuel cap (10) is provided for a filler neck (26). Fuel cap (10)
includes a core (24), a sleeve (14) positioned around core (24), and a seal (130)
coupled to the core (24). Sleeve (14) includes a sealing surface (76) and a recessed
surface (78) that is axially lower and radially outward of sealing surface (76). As core
(24) rotates, sleeve (14) moves further into filler neck (26) from an upper position to a
lower position. While sleeve (14) is in the upper position, seal (130) is adjacent to
recessed surface (78) so that a gap (136) exists between sleeve (14) and seal (130). As
sleeve (14) moves to the lower position, seal (130) moves relative to sleeve (14) to a
position engaging sealing surface (76) to block flow between core (24) and sleeve
(14).

Abstract: A self-locking wire seal includes a body in which one end of a wire is
fixedly secured. The free end of the wire can be inserted through the hasp of a
lock. The free end of the wire is then inserted through a channel in the body of the
seal. The wire contacts a locking mechanism which automatically prevents the
retraction of the wire out of the channel defined in the body. The locking
mechanism may comprise a spring which engages notches defined on the wire.
The notches may be defined by using a concentrically laid spiral wound wire. The
spring flexes out of the way of these notches when inserted, but grips the wire
when attempts are made to retract the wire from the body of the seal.

Abstract: A heated volatile dispenser and a volatile carrier for use therewith are disclosed. The volatile dispenser has a closed heating chamber having ceiling and exit vents. A fuel burner is contained within the heating chamber, and a carrier holder is positioned over the fuel burner. The carrier holder holds a volatile carrier in a location above the fuel burner such that hot gases from the fuel burner pass the carrier holder and directly heat a volatile carrier held thereby. The volatile carrier may be held in an edge-on orientation with respect to the flow of hot gases, or transversely with respect to them. The volatile carrier has an inward end that has a cross-sectional profile made to be complementary to that of an insert slot through which the volatile carrier must be inserted for use. An alternative embodiment is shown that uses a candle as a fuel burner. A kit is shown that includes a candle and a volatile carrier that are designed to be exhausted at the same time so that the candle's consumption serves as a use-cue for the volatile carrier. Methods of dispensing volatiles are disclosed.

Abstract: An expansible foaming reinforcing member (10) for reinforcing
a hollow structural member of an automobile, aircraft,
boat, etc. is provided. The reinforcing member
(10) includes a synthetic, resin-based expansible reinforcing
material (12) secured to a carrier (14) which
maintains the reinforcing member (10) at the desired location
within the structural member until thermal expansion.
The reinforcing material (12) is formed of a thermally
expansible composition which preferably has an expansion
temperature similar to the expansion temperatures
achieved in specific stages of a particular manufacturing
process (e.g., such as the temperature at which the paint
bake or powder bake stage is carried out in the automobile
manufacturing process). The reinforcing material
(12) of the inventive reinforcing member (10) comprises a
plurality of spaced-apart fins or ribs (16). During heat
activation, heated air can travel between the ribs (16),
thus allowing a grater surface area of the reinforcing
material (12) to be exposed to heat leading to improved
expansion. The ribs (16) can be configured to a shape
corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the cavity
of the structural member, thus permitting the reinforcing
member (10) to be inserted into small, irregular shaped
cavities.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting leakage current in the coolant of
a fuel cell stack (60) between said stack (60) and the grounded stack chassis (62),
using a voltmeter to measure the voltage (V1) across the coolant. If the coolant voltage (V1) is at or
below a predetermined level, an excessive level of conductivity in the coolant exists,
and the presence of leakage current is reported. The invention can also compare the
coolant voltage (V1) to two different predetermined voltage levels, the second one higher
than the first. A coolant voltage (V1) at or below the lower voltage level could signal a
shut down of the stack (60), while a coolant voltage (V1) at or below the higher voltage level
could signal an alarm or another diagnostic. The invention can optionally use a
second voltmeter to measure the voltage (V2) across the stack (60) and calculate the resistivity
and conductivity of the coolant.

Abstract: In a toner T of the present invention, the liberated mother particle
ratio is set to be 10 % or less and the liberated silica particle ratio is set to
be 0.2-10 %, thereby reducing the possibility that the liberated mother
particles 18' and the mother particles 18 with silica particles 19 therein will be
fused on toner-contact members such as a latent image carrier, a toner
carrier, and a toner regulating member, and thus effectively preventing the
filming of toner T. Therefore, according to the toner T of the present
invention, the durability of the toner-contact members such as the latent
image carrier, the toner carrier, and the toner regulating member can be
improved. In addition, a large quantity of heat for heat fixing can be
prevented from being consumed by the silica particles 19 because the
amount of silica particles 19 is suitably set, and heat can be hardly
transferred to mother particles 18 having a low melting point because the
mother particles 18 are coated with a desired amount of silica particles 19.
Therefore, the low-temperature fixing property can be improved.
