Title: Junction box for interconnecting electrical conduits
Inventor: DEFREITAS GLENNON L
IPC: H02G3/08
Filed: 1992-12-15
Abstract: JUNCTION BOX FOR INTERCONNECTING ELECTRICAL CONDUIT ABSTRACT    An enclosure consisting of a wall, which is open at both ends, containing tubular projections perpendicular to the   wall and an outward flange at one end forming a base,  whereby  the junction box can be secured  to  a concrete form, prior to the concrete being poured, for a wall or floor or ceiling. The other end of the wall of the junction box is sealed by means of a fitted lid which is held secure to the box by means of two screws. Each tubular projection, being dimensioned internally to receive an end of an electrical conduit, contains a "Knock-out portion at the end forming a portion of the wall of the box, which seals the opening of the tube at the wall of the box. This "Knock- Out"  portion when removed creates  a ring on the interior of the tube,  which  is  wedge  shaped, forming a locking device, permitting an electrical conduit to be  inserted  into the tube, and having been inserted cannot be withdrawn. There are locations on the interior of the box at which interconnecting grounding wires and fixtures can be adhered to.

IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 1993-06-29
Abstract: An optical fiber package (15) includes a support surface such as a hub of a bobbin (17) for convolutions of a length of optical fiber. The optical fiber includes a light transmitting portion such as a core and a cladding with inner and outer layers of coating material disposed thereabout. The coating material comprises an ultraviolet light curable material. Disposed throughout the curable coating material of the outer layer is an adhesive constituent which after having been solidified by the exposure of the optical fiber to ultraviolet light energy and subsequent to the winding of the optical fiber into a package for use in high speed payout is subjected to heat treatment to cause the adhesive constituent of each convolution to become tacky and cause the convolutions to be tacked together. The adhesion between adjacent convolutions is less than that between inner and outer layers of the coating materials and that between the inner layer and the cladding. As a result, the convolutions are held together in the package to provide a stable package but during payout separate without causing delamination of the layers of coating material.

Title: Self-inflating air mattress
Inventor: CULP BILL B
IPC: A47C27/08
Filed: 1993-07-09
Abstract: SELF-INFLATING AIR MATTRESS                ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           A self-inflating air mattress includes an air chamber and a foam panel therein.  The air chamber is defined by top and bottom sheet panels and a valve allowing air passage into and out of the air chamber.  The foam panel includes apertures therethrough, and the top and bottom sheet panels are mechanically coupled directly together via the apertures in the foam panel.  As a result, the foam panel need not be mechanically connected to the top and bottom sheet panels and improved air flow within the chamber results.      Furthermore, by virtue of the direct mechanical coupling between top and bottom sheet panels distributed throughout the air mattress, the top and bottom sheet panels are limited in their relative spacing and the air mattress tends to better support any weight placed thereon, there being no pillowing of the air mattress in response to weight placed thereon.

Inventor: SCHWEITZER EDMUND O JR
IPC: G01R15/24
Filed: 1993-07-15
Abstract: A voltage monitoring device for an AC power distribution system utilizes a liquid crystal optical shutter device capacitively coupled between a conductor of the system and electrical ground such that the transparency of the optical shutter device to light varies with the system voltage level. A light source projects a light beam through the optical shutter device to a light detector such that the output of the light detector is dependent on the system voltage. A control circuit responsive to the output of the light detector provides an output signal when the system voltage falls outside of a predetermined operating range.

Filed: 1993-03-03
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE       The present invention discloses an alkali oxide free low density refractory material especially adapted for use as a disposable liner material for molten metal containing vessels.  This material includes about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of a stiffening agent, about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of a set retarding agent, about 0.1 to 6 weight percent of density reducing materials, about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of a plasticizer, up to about 2 weight percent of a low temperature binder, and the balance of a refractory aggregate which is preferably MgO.  The stiffening agent and set retarding agent are used in substantially the same amounts to provide the disclosed refractory material with increased resistance to slumping while, at the same time, allowing spraying apparatus residence times of up to one half hour without clogging.  The composition includes less than about 0.1 weight percent of alkali oxides, so that reaction and fusion of the disposable liner with a permanent liner is avoided thereby allowing increased ease in mechanical removal of the disposable liner.  Also, the invention relates to methods for applying the disposable lining by spraying and an apparatus for holding molten metal which includes a steel shell, a relatively permanent refractory lining disposed therein and a disposable lining disposed upon at least a portion of the permanent refractory lining.

Inventor: REDMAN RONALD E
IPC: E06B3/54
Filed: 1994-10-17
Abstract: An adjustable setting block assembly is disclosed for supporting and leveling infill panels such as window panes and the like. The setting block assembly includes a setting block and a thrust plate positioned adjacent the lower surface of the block. A bolt is threadingly engaged within a threaded bore in the block, and the bolt has a tip which bears against the thrust plate as the bolt is advanced within the threaded bore. A load exerted on the upper surface of the block, such as by a glass light resting on the block, is thus supported by the tip of the bolt bearing against the thrust plate. In the disclosed embodiment the tip of the bolt which bears against the thrust plate is radiused to facilitate limited pivotable movement between the bolt and the thrust plate. Also in the disclosed embodiment a pad is imposed against the upper surface of the block to provide a cushioned surface for supporting the glass lite. Preferably the thrust plate and pad are temporarily affixed to the block by an adhesive bond, such as that provided by double-sided tape.

Title: Magnetic sweeper apparatus and method
Inventor: GUZMAN ALBERTO M
IPC: B03C1/30
Filed: 1994-04-29
Abstract: ABSTRACT   A magnetic sweeper 20 is disclosed for capturing airborne particles which exhibit ferromagnetic behavior. The magnetic sweeper 20 uses a magnet(s) 43 having a magnetic field strength which captures particles coming within a predetermined distance of the magnet 43.  A non-magnetic endless belt 31 is arranged about the magnet 43, wherein the particles are impinged against the belt 31 by the magnetic field lines of flux.  This area is defined as a particle capturing first station. The belt 31 moves the captured particles further away from the magnet 43 to a second station.  Located at the second station is a collection means comprising a vacuum means, a brush 41 and a particle flange.  As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the magnetic field strength diminishes with distance from the magnet 43.  Accordingly, after a certain distance from the magnet 43, the field strength drops to a point where the particles fall from the belt 31.  When the particles are released, the particles are entrained in a vacuum and transported to a storage location 32 using the vacuum. A preferred location for the magnetic sweeper 20 is under the rear coupler 21 of a locomotive 25.
