Patent for a dirigible airship. Illustrations included.

An apparatus and method for conducting ultra-sensitive trace element and isotope analysis. The apparatus injects a sample through a fine nozzle to form an atomic beam. A DC discharge is used to elevate select atoms to a metastable energy level. These atoms are then acted on by a laser oriented orthogonally to the beam path to reduce the traverse velocity and to decrease the divergence angle of the beam. The beam then enters a Zeeman slower where a counter-propagating laser beam acts to slow the atoms down. Then select atoms are captured in a magneto-optical trap where they undergo fluorescence. A portion of the scattered photons are imaged onto a photo-detector, and the results analyzed to detect the presence of single atoms of the specific trace elements.

Patent for an apparatus for handling brick "whereby the number of brick handled by a single hand may be greatly increased" (lines 9-11) including illustrations.

Patent for receptacle of ashes and sifter to separate unconsumed particles of coal and retain dust.

Patent for an improvement in belt fasteners, "especially adapted for use in connection with the running belts of planning, sizing, matching, molding and like machines" (lines 10-12) so that belts may be adjusted to tighten or loosen easily.

Patent for an air and moisture proof burial vault which can also expel gases. Illustrations included.

Patent for invention for new and useful improvements in Car-Replacer. The invention relates to improvements in car replacers which can easily be applied to a track or rail which will quickly and easily cause the car to enter upon the track and which cannot possibly become displaced by the weight and strain of the car

Patent for a new and improved cloth-measuring wheel. This design "consists in the peculiar combination and arrangement of the cutting-board with two standards, whereby the said cutting-board is made to act as a sufficient brace for the frame, as well as to perform the offices of a cutting board. The invention also consists in means for producing a variable tension on the cloth as it passes from the roll to the reel, whereby the tendency of different thicknesses of cloth to wind the cloth in greater or lesser lengths than the register indicates is compensated for and corrected" (lines 27-39).

Patent for clothes hanger that is made of a singular piece of wire. The hanger also features the capability to hold an entire three piece suit: coat, vest, and trousers.

Patent for a combined railway tie and rail clamp, which is made of metal rather than wood.

Patent for a novel bottle stopper. This design "consists in certain improvements in [bottle stoppers] whereby the outpouring fluid may be utilized to set in motion an automaton attached to said stopper" (lines 18-21).

Patent for a copy holder for use while typewriting. Illustrations included.

Patent for a cotton harvester. Illustrations included.

Patent for improvement in cotton picking machine “whereby the ripened portion of the cotton may be easily and thoroughly picked or removed and disposed in a suitable receptacle.” (Lines 22-24.) Illustration is included.

Patent for a crude oil burner for stoves or heaters. Illustrations included.

Patent for a riding cultivator that keeps the shovel gangs positioned "parallel with the line of the draft, or with the longitudinal axis of the machine" (lines 19-21), by shifting them in the direction that the driver guides the wheels. The cultivator also provides a means to keep the depth of cultivation as uniform as possible when working on uneven ground or in different kinds of soil.

Patent for an improved cultivator that is easy to guide and operate, possesses increased durability, and is inexpensive to construct.

Patent for the description and illustration of an "improved device for lifting baggage such as trunks or other articles, in loading and unloading them form cars, platforms or other locations"(lines 11-14) including instructions and illustrations. Patent for a new lifting device design with different size baggage, including illustrations.

Patent for drafting implement, for laying out or plotting curves of different degrees and combining the functions of a plurality of implements into a single implement.

Patent for drill bit, adapted for use in boring (or drilling) of oil wells with bit shank and enlarged head of angularly mounted rotary cutters (for outward cutting of well walls).

Patent for a dumping car to be used on railways for the purposes of dumping gravel and soil and other such materials.

Patent for a new exhaust fan. Patent for "a new and improved exhaust fan design that can be adapted for exhausting in any capacity and for creating a suction and discharging the air from any devices in connection." (lines 8-13) including instructions and illustrations. Patent for a new exhaust fan design with operating construction, including illustrations.

The invention relates to an apparatus that acts as a fail save shut off valve. More specifically, the invention relates to a fail save shut off valve that allows fluid flow during normal operational conditions, but prevents the flow of fluids in the event of system failure upstream that causes over-pressurization. The present invention is particularly well suited for use in conjunction with hot gas filtering systems, which utilize ceramic candle filters. Used in such a hot gas system the present invention stops the flow of hot gas and prevents any particulate laden gas from entering the clean side of the system.

Patent for a fan attachment for dental engines. Illustration included.
