Abstract: A cage nut assembly includes a nut and a cage wrapped therearound. The nut has a number of stand-offs or protrusions provided on a lower surface thereof such that the stand-offs are the only part of the nut which are in contact with the cage. The stand-offs reduce the amount of bearing surface interface between the cage and the nut thus reducing the possibility that the two parts will stick to each other after a coating is applied to the mating surface which the cage is welded to. The nut is engaged by a male threaded fastener which is torqued into place and the stand-offs push into the material of the cage causing the cage material to flow out of the way such that the stand-offs embed into the material of the cage without deforming the stand-offs to a flattened condition.

Abstract: A liquid specimen collection device includes a main
body provided with a passage extending between opposite
ends of the main body that defines a capillary tube
liquid specimen flow path. One end of the passage opens
at a tip end of the body member that is positionable
adjacent a liquid specimen for introducing the liquid
specimen into the passage while the opposite end of the
passage opens at a body surface of the body which
surrounds and extends outwardly from the opposite end of
the passage. A test paper soaked in reagent is secured
to the main body adjacent the opposite end of the
passage. A liquid sample introduced into the passage at
the tip end of the body member flows by capillary action
along the passage to the opposite end of the passage
where the specimen is then absorbed by the test paper.
The test paper is secured to the body member at a
plurality of spaced apart securement locations along a
peripheral portion of the test paper with gaps being
located between adjacent securement locations through
which air is permitted to flow during liquid specimen
flow along the liquid specimen flow path. The test
paper includes a centrally located protuberance and an
annular protuberance extending around the outer
circumferential portion of the test paper. The end
surface of the tip end of the body member can be

Abstract: A process for the thermocatalytic conversion of waste materials into
reusable fuels, involving the steps of delivering melted waste material to one or
more pyrolysis chambers via heated and valved manifolds and effecting
gasification of the waste material in an oxygen purged and pressure controlled
environment. Pyrolytic gases are then transferred to a catalytic converter where
the molecular structure of the gaseous material is altered in structure and form,
with gases then transferred to one or more condensers to distil and cool gases in
to their respective fractions. After post pyrolysis treatment, fuel fractions then
form a useable fuel. The present invention discloses the melting of waste
(plastic) material before delivery into any the combustion chambers, making the
movement of material into the catalytic tower a semi-continuous operation,
directing melted waste material into two or more, but preferably four, pyrolysis
chambers, making each chamber capable of independent operation, mechanically
removing waste char from one or more pyrolysis chambers by use of one or more
internal augers or suitable means, various performance improvements to the
conversion process and a fuel produced by the process.

information not contained in a trial band is replaced with
dummy data, and spectral coefficient information is
extracted from a code frame. The location where the
extracted spectral coefficient was written is filled with a
spectral coefficient in a higher frequency range. Trial
data to be distributed to users is thus generated. The true
values of the normalization coefficient information and the
spectral coefficient information are described in additional

trial data and the additional data that is separately
acquired are used. The present invention is applicable to
an encoder, a replay apparatus, and a recording apparatus.
