Abstract:
A cement mixing and slurry density control system utilizes an improved eductor mixer for particular use in a cementing process for an oil or gas well.
Abstract:
A telephone call screener discriminates between desired and undesired incoming telephone calls. Desired calls are signaled by use of a two-digit code known only to persons selected by the user. The first digit of the code refers to the number of silence gaps between calling tones or rings that the calling party has to wait before entering a second digit of the code from one of the ten numbers on the touch tone or rotary dial on the telephone used to place the call. An incoming call is first detected and electronically answered, after which the output of a sine wave generator is periodically transmitted over the open telephone line to generate false calling tones simulating the periodic audible ringing sequence of a conventional telephone. An enabling circuit detects the correct code being signaled only during the proper silence gap in the false calling tone sequence. Either a touch tone decoder circuit or a rotary dial detector circuit is enabled to generate an output for activating a transducer, such as a bell or a light, to indicate that the desired call has been received. If the transducer is activated, the false calling tone sequence is extended to provide additional time for answering the phone, and when the extended sequence ends, the call is terminated. Even if the proper code is not detected during the correct silence gap, the false calling tone generator continues to produce false calling tones either until the calling party hangs up or until a maximum number of false calling tones is generated, after which the screener automatically terminates the cycle and resets for receiving the next incoming call.
Abstract:
A ski transporting device which can carry three or more pair of skis, boots and poles. The device comprises three main components; 1, a two wheeled component detachably mounted to 2, a main or spine pair of skis and 3, a spanner support bar again detachably mounted to the spine pair of skis. This bar supports two or more additional pairs of skis which, in conjunction with the main pair, form a cradling space in which additional skis, ski poles and boots can stored and thus transported. An optional handle mounts on the opposite end of the main pair of skis to facilitate pulling the loaded device.
Abstract:
A pencil holder which can be detachably mounted to the sweat band area of a soft baseball type cap preferably formed in one piece of moulded plastic. It includes a base section arm (12), an outwardly and upwardly extending opposing outer arm (13) between which the pencil is frictionally held and an inwardly and upwardly extending opposing inner arm (11), which in combination with the base section arm (12), forms a clamp or clip which firmly grasps the sweat band area of the cap. All three arms extend end to end of the holder, forming in essence, two upwardly facing clamps or clips.
