Abstract: ENGINE BLOCK HEATER HAVING FLEXIBLE           CLAMPING MEMBER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An engine block heater adapted for insertion through an opening in the block wall of an internal combustion engine has a novel arrangement for securing the heater within the opening of the block wall.  The heater includes a plug member having a heating element, an adjustable screw and a fastening assembly attached to the screw and extending from one side of the heater into the interior of the engine block.  The adjustable screw loosely passes through the plug member for adjusting the position of the fastening assembly.  The fastening assembly comprises an elongated flexible bar and a rigid member.  The flexible bar has the ends thereof normally biased such that one surface of the bar is flat and the distance between the ends is greater than the diameter of the block aperture.  The flexible bar is capable of bending in opposing directions to reduce the distance between its ends and facilitate the insertion of the flexible bar through the block aperture.  The rigid member is securable in at least partial contacting and supporting relation with one side of the flexible member to prevent the bending of the flexible member in one of the opposing directions.  When the adjustable screw means is manipulated to draw the flexible member toward one side of the plug member, the rigid member prevents the flexible assembly from bending and results in the ends of the flexible member moving into engaging relation with interior wall portions of the block.  This novel arrangement allows for repeated insertion and removal of the heater from the engine block.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Heat-treating apparatus which includes an insulated furnace com-partment through which stock to be heat-treated is passed.  Perforated tubes are arranged in the furnace and they are heated to radiance by burners which also generate products of combustion which are ejected through the perforations at high velocity to impinge upon a surface or surfaces of the stock being heat-treated.  The combination of radiation and convection enhanced by the impinge-ment of the jets upon a surface of the stock provides highly efficient primary heat transfer.  The burners are designed to ensure that rapid combustion takes place at a point removed from the perforations to avoid flame issuing from the perforations.  The tubes are sized and spaced to enhance secondary heat trans-fer from gases in the furnace compartment and from the walls of the compartment to the stock.

Abstract: PULLOUT RESISTANT PIPE COUPLING Abstract of the Disclosure An improved construction for resisting pipe pullout in a pipe coupling of a type subject to being inwardly swaged in the course of forming a coupled joint.  A circumferentially extending lock ring having a plurality of axially spaced chisel shaped teeth on its inward face is inwardly dished about its periphery.  The ring is axially located within the coupling shell by an annular inwardly extending protuberance on the inner face of shell interfitting within the dished section of the ring periphery.  In response to an imposed swaging force, the coupling shell is constricted inwardly to compress a gasket into sealing engagement with a contained pipe section, while the lock ring is concomitantly constricted inwardly into a gripping interlock therewith.

Abstract: COMPUTER GRAPHICS GENERATOR                 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     Electronic circuitry for generation of graphics images on a computer display screen is disclosed which allows graphics capability to be added or retrofitted to computers having standard video display character generation circuitry.  The graphics circuitry receives address, data and control signals from the normal computer peripheral bus.  Address signals received by the graphics circuitry are interpreted as command signals and, in accordance with the command signals, data present on the computer peripheral data bus is interpreted either as graphics data to be written in a random access graphics memory or or an address location for such data in the memory.  The graphics circuitry normally operates asynchronously with respect to the computer under control of the character clock generated by the character generation circuitry.  Proper synchronization with computer operation is achieved by using wait commands which cause the computer circuitry to cease processing temporarily while write or read operations are being processed by the graphics circuitry.  In addition, special circuitry is provided which allows the grapics circuitry to automatically increment and decrement address information stored within the circuitry.

Abstract: Abstract The process and device in accordance with the present in-vention allow the simple and economic manufacture of printed circuit boards, wherein the metal of the con-ductors as well as the one covering the hole walls is identical with the metal being etched away from the areas between the conductors.          According to this process, a one-or two-sided metal-coated base material is used which, upon production of the hole pattern, is provided in a known manner with a metal layer of desired thickness, said layer covering the surface of the metal foil as well as the hole walls. Subsequently, a masking layer is applied by screen printing a positive image of the desired circuit pattern on the surface(s).          In the following process step, the holes are filled with an ink by means of a screen printing stencil. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the ink used forms an etch-resistant surface film when drying. Upon etching, the masking layer as well as the surface film and the hole fillings are removed with a suitable solvent.          The screen printing stencil comprises a carrier screen fixed to a frame, said carrier screen being provided on its side facing the surface to be printed with a metal or plastic foil, said screen and foil being provided with holes at locations in proportion to the hole pattern in the base material.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          An improved steel sheet, especially suitable for car-body fabrication, which is galvanized and further pro-tected by a layer of metallic chromium and hydrated oxides of chromium, electrolytically deposited.  The improvement consists in that the metallic chromium is deposited in extremely fine particles that exert a very marked covering and protective effect on the underlying zinc.  In this way, and with the help of the chromium oxides that further cover and protect the underlying layers, a product is obtained whose corrosion resistance is far superior to that of similar products.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE   An aircraft locating system correlating, on a TV format radar display, aircraft position with information transmitted from the aircraft on an RF channel. At least a pair of receive stations are located within several miles of an airport and separated by a base line which is in near proximity to at least one runway at the airport or a theoretical extension of it.  Each receive station passively determines a bearing angle to a source of RF on the RF channel and generates a signal representative of the bearing angle.  The signals representative of bearing angle are used to generate line count and line delay data to correlate a position determined the bearing angle signals from at least the pair of receive stations with a frame of reference of said TV display. A video mixer responsive to a scan converted radar return signal and the line count and line delay data produces a combined video signal with the ability to highlight a location identified by said line count and line delay data.
