Abstract: GROUND WORKING IMPLEMENT                       ABSTRACT     A ground working implement including a frame having a plurality of rows of elements, each element holding a plurality of individual ground working tools extending downwardly.  The implement comprises wheels which are used for transporting the ground working assembly which are pivotally connected to the frame and engage the ground midway between the forward and rear portions of the frame so that a tire track is never left in the ground when the implement is operating even if the wheels are touching the ground since ground working tools are positioned behind the tires as well as in front thereof.  There is a tongue, adjustable in height, adaptable for connection to a tractor or other suitable motive means, and a selectively reciprocal power source, such as a hydraulic cylinder, for raising and lowering the ground working framework.  Upon actuation of the cylinder for raising the frame, the forward end of the frame always rises first so as to permit accumulated trash to feather back through the ground working tools.  As the machine rises, the wheels engage the ground and the ground working tool assembly may then be raised completely clear of the ground to a substantially level position for road transportation.  Wings may be provided to increase the width of the implement and these may be folded into a vertical position for road transportation.

Abstract: ABSTRACT A body implantable ventricular cardioverter.  Circuitry is provided which detects the onset of a malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmia and pro-vides a cardioverting signal in response thereto.  The cardioverting signal has an energy level that is high relative to the pacing threshold but below that necessary for defibrillation.  In this manner, a ventricular tachyar-rhythmia can be cardioverted before the onset of fibrillation and at a lower energy than required for defibrillation.  Dependent on such factors as patient thresholds, the tissue/electrode interface and the electrode system employed, the energy level of the cardioverting signal is from 5 millijoules to 15 joules. The system can be configured such that increasingly malignant tachyarrhthmias result in higher energy cardioverting signals, including signals capable of defibrillation.  Successful cardioversion with a signal having an energy level lower than necessary for defibrillation reduces the physical damage to thc heart as well as the trauma to and discomfort of the patient.

Kempton Nayera A.M. Moneib ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE              The sulfide surfaces of finely-divided impure iron sulfide-containing minerals such as pyritic ores or coals are rendered hydrophilic by the adsorption of conditioned, inorganic sulfide-oxidizing bacteria.          This adsorption of conditioned bacteria occurs in a short time to render the surfaces hydrophilic and allows these altered sulfide particles to be separated from hydro-phobic solids by flotation, oil-agglomeration or the like.          This bioadsorption process has particular applicability to pyritic coal beneficiation.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           A slide magazine for storing slide frames having an edge portion of a predetermined configuration, includes a housing having a bottom surface which is provided with formations operative for holding slide frames in the housing.  The formations are shaped so as to matingly complement the configuration of the edge portion of the slide frames to thereby prevent the latter from falling out of the housing.  The distance between two adjacent formations as con-sidered lengthwise of the bottom surface corresponds to the thick-ness of the slide frames to be installed on the slide magazine.          Thus, an overall length of a set of the slide frames filling the magazine corresponds to the length of the bottom surface so that the slide magazine requires substantially no more space than the set of slide frames in it.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      A discharge outlet coupling and guiderail assembly for a sub-mersible pump has at least two spaced guiderails to which the sub-mersible pump is slidably connected by means of a rail mounting bracket so that the submersible pump is movable up and down the guiderails parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof to permit the discharge outlet of the pump disposed remote from the guiderail mounting brackets to be oriented and aligned for engagement and disengagement with the flanged inlet end of a discharge elbow in the discharge line of the associated fluid pumping system to which the submersible pump must be operatively connected.  Orientation of the pump, the respective spaced guiderails, and the discharge elbow is controlled by means of a common base plate to which the respective guiderails and the discharge elbow are connected in predetermined spaced relation.  The discharge outlet of the pump has spaced hook connectors which engage the flanged inlet end of the discharge elbow when the pump is lowered for initial engage-ment with the discharge elbow.  Adjustable sleeves on the respec-tive spaced guiderails insure that the pump will be level in the operating and connected position and a cam assembly moves the pump laterally towards the face of the flanged inlet end of the dis-charge elbow as the pump is moved into operating position.  A suit able seal which deflects or moves under discharge pressure of the fluid being pumped will prevent leakage through the joint formed at the connection of the discharge outlet of the pump to the flanged inlet end of the discharge elbow.
