Abstract:
The disclosure relates to heat engines that operate using low temperature differentials. A Stirling engine is modified to provide a new heat engine that has no contained working fluid. The new heat engine flexible cylinders and the pistons are moved vertically upward by cables and vertically downward by gravity.

Abstract:
The present invention is a portable device for administering spinal decompression therapy. The device features a compact size and an innovative tension control mechanism to facilitate, in particular, a therapy for imbibition. The use of fabric for a sling and a platform adds comfort features while reducing weight.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for distribution of hard particles to the surface of a paper web (20) impregnated with resin. The apparatus includes a feed hopper (3), a rotating doctor-roll (2) placed under the feed hopper (3). The doctor-roll (2) is in spaced relation to said paper web (20) fed under the doctor-roll (2). There is a means for releasing the particles from the doctor-roll (2) and distributing them evenly on the fed paper web. Said means comprises an electrode arrangement (4). The electrode arrangement (4) is enclosed by a casing (5) provided with a downwards direction sliding plate (7). The invention also includes a process where the apparatus is used as well as particle coated paper produced by the process.
