Title: Shell resonant membranophone
Inventor: VOLPP STEVEN W
IPC: G10D13/02
Filed: 1994-01-10
Granted: 1996-07-04
Abstract: A drum having improved acoustic characteristics comprises a rigid annular bridge at one or both ends of a thin resonant annular shell attached to the bridges. A drum head is mounted on the bridge by a tension mechanism attached only to the bridge, and the drum is mounted on a drum stand by mounting hardware attached only to the bridge, leaving the shell free of load bearing and tensive and compressive forces and making the shell resonate more effectively. The bridge is machined from a solid block of wood formed of horizontal laminations. A microphone can be mounted on the inside of the bridge, with electrical leads exiting the drum through the mounting hardware. A snare drum having a thick body instead of a resonant shell is machined in the same way and has internal head tension members that make it possible to have a thicker body.

Title: Nonaqueous liquid automatic dishwasher detergent composition containing a dual bleach system
IPC: C11D3/395
Filed: 1990-09-26
Granted: 1993-04-01
Abstract: The application is directed to a nonaqueous liquid automatic dishwasher detergent composition containing a dual bleach system. The composition contains a nonaqueous organic carrier liquid, a chlorine bleach source and a bromide compound. In the wash bath the chlorine source reacts with water to form hypochlorite and the bromide compound reacts with a portion of the hypochlorite to form hypobromite. The active ingredients of the dual bleach system are the hypochlorite and hypobromite which provide improved cleaning performance against both proteinaceous and starchy carbohydrate soils. The dish washing compositions comprise a nonaqueous organic carrier liquid, a surfactant, a chlorine bleach source and a bromide compound, are stable in storage and are readily dispersible in water.

Title: Telescopic viewfinder optical system
Inventor: NEIL IAIN A
IPC: G02B23/14
Filed: 1998-11-19
Granted: 2001-06-07
Abstract: A variable length telescoping viewfinder (VS) for cameras that provides a variably adjustable eye viewing distance relative to the camera without changing the focus or magnification of the scene being photographed throughout the telescoping movement of the viewfinder. The light rays of the real image supplied to the viewfinder directly or indirectly from the camera are passed through a field lens (2), Pechan prism (G1), relay lens system (G2) forming collimated light rays from the fixed front module (FM) to the movable rear module (RM) wherein lens elements form an intermediate image (528) that is viewed through an eyepiece lens group (G5). The front module is weakly powered and of a substantial effective optical length because of the inclusion of the Pechan prism. The image forming lens group of the rear module is weakly powered whereby relative telescopic movement between the front and rear modules does not adversely affect the location, focus or magnification of the intermediate image throughout the range of movement. A magnification lens group (G4) is provided for selectively magnifying the intermediate image by moving the magnification lens group into and off the optical axis. The Pechan prism also allows proper orientation of the image. The eyepiece lens group for viewing the intermediate image may include a movable lens subgroup (G6) for precise focusing to compensate for far-sightedness or near-sightedness of the human eye. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the manufacture of frames, particularly wooden frames, the glued faces have to be pressed together along the bevelled cuts. For this purpose a clamping frame is suggested which comprises a closed rectangular clamping frame consisting of a first frame portion (10) consisting of two limbs (10a, 10b) at right-angles to each other and a second frame portion (16) consisting of two limbs (16a, 16b) at right-angles to each other. The second frame portion (16) is displaceable relatively to the first frame portion (10) and the limbs (16a, 16b) of the second frame portion (16) project outwardly beyond the limbs (10a, 10b) of the first frame portion (10). On the outside of the limbs (10a, 10b) of the first frame portion and parallel thereto there are pull rods (18) which intersect at the corner of the first frame portion (10) and engage the projecting limb sections of the second frame portion (16). Clamps (22) can be applied to the sections of the limbs of the second frame portion (16) that project beyond the limbs of the first frame portion (10) as well as to the pull rods (18), which clamps are supported on the outside of the limbs of the first frame portion (10) and with which the second frame portion (16) can be tightened to the first frame portion (10). By means of such a clamping frame, frames of different size can be clamped simply and conveniently.
