Abstract: At the end of the dewatering section (2) an entry section support (5), precedes the granulator (17). Its stepped arrangement of air nozzles (13, 14) produces airflow parallel to the strand (1), entraining it. Preferred features: Slot nozzles, or rows of individual (circular) nozzles are built into the steps (8, 9). Individual nozzle direction causes the airflow to bring the strands together. Above the entry section support, there are further air nozzles directed along the strand path. The entry section support can be taken out from between the dewatering section and the granulator. It can be swung or slid out.

Abstract: A device for the linear drive of a pumping member in a soap-type dispenser includes a crank mechanism with a crank disc and a push rod transmitting a linear movement to a piston rod. Disengageable coupling members are located between the push rod and the piston rod to disengage the piston rod when an actuating signal is not present. The coupling members can be re-engaged upon further movement of the crank disc. The device may be employed in conjunction with a motor driven pumping member and a sensor with a control circuit to detect the presence of a hand to be supplied with the soap and generate the actuating signal.

Abstract: Beginning with the first letter or stroke, this invention uses the relative frequency of the sequential groups of letters or strokes from which individual words or characters are gradually built in order to provide a better way of computer indexing languages for easier and more efficient access to both the frequently used words or characters and the less-frequently used. This makes possible a system of text input that is both more efficient and more intuitive than utilizing just word or character frequency, an input approach which eliminates typing transpositions, reduces word-spelling errors or character-stroke-order uncertainty, and provides an alternative to a standard keyboard which is especially helpful with wireless phones and hand-held computers, and similar devices lacking standard keyboards. This invention can make words and characters quite accessible in an intuitive way without requiring any direct input of words or letters, strokes or characters. The user is not directly "inputting" a word or character with letters or strokes, but finding the character or word by selecting increasingly complete words or characters from the choices offered on the computer display screen-choices offered according to the frequency-of-use not of words or characters but of these increasingly complete word or character beginnings. For Western and other non-character-based languages this greatly reduces typos and misspellings while being no slower than standard keyboard entry for many users. For Chinese-character-based languages, it provides a method of selecting characters for screen display without the need to learn any character input method, and much like one sees with standard keyboard input of Western languages, it gives positive reinforcement about entry of characters by showing the character gradually develop in response to the user's actions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for the vaporization of liquid hydrocarbon fuel in a closed system prior to its entry into an internal combustion engine's combustion chambers in amounts proportional to the acceleration level of the engine. The apparatus is a fuel vaporizer (10) interposed between an engine's fuel injection system and combustion chambers and forms a canister housing. Liquid fuel enters via an inlet (16) in the housing, is vaporized by heating it to boiling and is drawn out of the canister via an outlet (26) under a partial vacuum to the combustion chambers of the engine. The system is closed except for a vacuum connection with the engine's combustion chambers. Heating means (12) are provided to heat the fuel to boiling without heating it to its flash point, thus avoiding its pre-ignition.
