Abstract: ABSTRACT Uniform surface-coating of individual grains of flowable materials of approximately uniform grain-size, having smooth, rough, or fissured surfaces is affected using a coating agent in suspension or solution.  A container has an upper part defined by a peripheral wall which diverges upwardly in the shape of a funnel and having a shorter, flatter, funnel-shaped lower part.  A predeter-mined quantity of the material to be coated is added and a flow of air is in-troduced at the bottom of the container to flow from bottom to top at a specific flow velocity, so that the air flow entrains said material in a vortex-fountain of limited diameter and height in the container.  There is a high volume con-centration of the material in the core area of the container.  The suspension or solution is sprayed into the core area of the vortex-fountain in the same direction as the hot air flow, through nozzles located at the lower end of the container, the nozzles being directed upwardly and having an initial spraying angle of between 30 and 60°, the spraying being done at a predetermined flow rate per unit of time.  The suspension is absorbed completely and uniformly on the surface of the material, drying occuring simultaneously as the treated ma-terial ascends in the core area, moves laterally outwardly from the core area into an edge-area of reduced flow-pressure, descends along the container wall into the funnel-shaped lower part which returns it towards the lower end of the vortex-fountain.  The spraying step is repeated intermittently with uniform drying, until the predetermined amount of coating has been applied, and the coated material has been dried to a predetermined final humidity.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           A photographic exposure and flash fire control system initially measures ambient scene light and subsequently utilizes the results of that measurement to control the amount of artificial illumination provided during the exposure interval.  The initial measurement of ambient scene light below a first select level provides for a maximum flash output while conversely the initial measurement of ambient scene light above a second select level greater than the first select level provides for minimum flash output.  The initial measurement of ambient scene light between the aforementioned first and second levels provides for a flash output which progressively varies between the aforementioned minimum and maximum outputs in inverse corresponding relation with respect to the progressive variation of measured ambient scene light between its first and second select levels.

Abstract: Abstract:    The invention provides a breast prosthesis for mast-ectomy patients and a method of making such prostheses. The prosthesis is made by first making a cast of the entire chest wall of the patient and a separate cast of the remaining natural breast.  The breast cast is then shaped to fit onto the chest cast as a replica for the removed breast.  The shaped breast cast is then used as a core to form a hollow breast shape in synthetic skin-like material and the hollow interior, after removal of the core, is preferably filled with a liquid or gel material. In this way, a customized prosthesis of the missing breast can be formed without the need for skilled sculpting techniques.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process for controlling the withdrawal of a casting from a cooled, horizontal, continuous casting mold involves withdrawing the casting from the mold in a series of steps, between which steps the casting is pushed back by a partial step to insure the welding together of casting sections.  A melt breakthrough of the casting skin is prevented by measuring the expansion or contraction of a wall of the mold in contact with the casting and controlling the withdrawal of the casting in response thereto.  The invention is particularly useful in the continuous casting of steel melts.

Abstract: A B S T R A C T          A mechanical interlock mechanism for the safety cover of the die closing unit of an injection molding machine which has an arresting rod attached to the movable die carrier frame and extending rearwardly through a stationary cylinder head plate, where an arresting unit encloses a pair of ar-resting jaws with attached cam followers.  The latter are engaged by a control rod which is connected to the safety cover by means of a control linkage.  The jaws are forcibly closed, in opposition to jaw opening springs, and butting of the arresting jaw ridges against the arresting rod col-lars is limited to one jaw only, as a result of an axial offset between the arresting jaw ridges, in connection with a certain minimal pitch of the arresting rod collars and a floating arrangement of the jaw closing assembly.  The lat-ter is spring-biased towards one side.

The housing has an electric motor positioned in essentially the same plane as a tine assembly driven by the electric motor.  The tine assembly has a plurality of tines which extend through an opening at the bottom of the housing.  The tines result from a plurality of torsion coil springs having radially extending active ends that are serially threaded on rods arcuately and radially located about a central axle of the tine assembly. The active ends come into contact with the turf when the device is operated.  At the same time, the other ends of the springs are inhibited from turning torque by lying in abutment against the central axle.

Abstract: LEG BAG FOR URINARY INCONTINENCE     Abstract An expandable plastic collection bag adapted to be strapped to the leg of an incontinent patient and provided with an inlet tube for directing urine into the bag.  the bag also has a clamp-equipped discharge tube to facilitate periodic draining of the bag's contents.  The straps are located to exert a force urging the inner wall of the hag into conforming engagement with a wearer's leg, and side pleats allow expansion of the bag in a way that permits a relatively large portion of the inner wall to remain in surface contact with the leg.  The inlet and outlet tubes are hingedly mounted for self-adjusting limited pivotal movement towards and away from the bag's outer wall to reduce possibilities that the flow passages might become kinked as the bag is filled.  Such pivotal movement is facilitated by openings and by heat seal lines formed in the walls of the bag at the locations of the inlet and outlet tubes.  Proximal and distal sections of the bag are disposed between the respective inlet and outlet tubes and the wearer to shield the wearer's leg against direct contact with such tubes, and a pocket is provided adjacent the inlet tube (and also, if desired, adjacent the outlet tube) to receive and protect the tube against contamination during handling and storage of the bag.
