Abstract: A safety device for shutting off a gas valve at the detection of a gas leak has an add-on adaptor device having a first knob mounted over an existing gas knob and affixed thereto; a spindle coupled to the first knob, capable of rotating the fist knob, and the gas valve knob, between an open position and a closed position. A second knob is rotatably mounted substantially perpendicular to the spindle, and is provided with firm cantilever which is extended to provide a firm support along side the gas valve knob so as to cause rotation of the gas valve knob when the second knob is rotated in one direction. A spinning is attached to the second knob and is in a wound state when the second knob is parallel to the first knob when the first knob is in the open position, and in an unwound state when the first knob is in the closed position. A bracket is capable of being springably forced into a groove on the second knob when the second knob is aligned substantially parallel to the open position to keep it from rotating. A solenoid retracts the bracket away from the groove so the spring can rotate the second knob into the closed position. A fixing means fixes the add-on adapter device and holds the adapter in place on the existing gas valve knob. A gas leak detector detects the leaks and produces a signal to energize the solenoid and activate the device.

Abstract: A method of securing a screw-receiving plug in an over-sized hole preformed in a fixture comprises the steps of: (a) providing at least one piece of a loosely-woven fabric carrying consolidated thereon a quick-setting filler material, which fabric piece is sized to envelop at least circumferentially the plug intended to be used; (b) enveloping the plug circumferentially in the fabric piece; (c) activating the filler material; and (d) inserting the enveloped plug in the hole in a manner such as to ensure filling of the hole by the enveloped plug. On setting, the activated filler material and fabric restrain the plug against rotation when a screw is being driven into the plug thereby to secure the screw in the fixture. The preferred filler material is plaster of Paris.

Abstract: An air sampler for use in analyzing biological or other analytes, comprizes an airflow chamber having an air inlet and an air outlet. An extract from an air mover draws ambient air in through the inlet, and then through the chamber, to discharge it back to atmosphere by way of an outlet. The airflow chamber houses a cyclone air/liquid separator through which the inflowing air is caused to pass. An injector introduces liquid into air flowing through the air inlet. The cyclone separator extracts this liquid and any entrained particles therein and discharges it from the airflow chamber, initially by way of a duct, where it is then conveyed to a collection vessel, by way of a three channel peristaltic pump, and a duct. The collection vessel is housed within a Peltier-cooled holder to maintain the contents of the vessel within the 2-8 degree Celsius range.
