Patent for baling press for baling hay,cotton, and the like; is simple, durable and efficient.

A method is described for the preparation of defined, isomerically pure phospholipid-nucleoside conjugates as a prodrug in which the drug (araC) is attached to the phospholipid by a monophosphate linkage. Key intermediates in the process involve selective blocking and deblocking of the nucleoside derivative. These particular monophosphate-linked derivatives represent a new class of prodrug, which are useful by themselves or in combination with diphosphate linked derivatives. Several new compositions involving diphosphate linked derivatives are described in which the products are isomerically pure and having defined fatty acid chain lengths.

A new composition of matter has been discovered which is an explosive addition compound of ammonium nitrate (AN) and diethylenetriamine trinitrate (DETN) in a 50:50 molar ratio. the compound is stable over extended periods of time only at temperatures higher than 46/sup 0/C, decomposing to a fine-grained eutectic mixture (which is also believed to be new) of AN and DETN at temperatures lower than 46/sup 0/C. The compound of the invention has an x-ray density of 1.61 g/cm/sup 3/, explodes to form essentially only gaseous products, has higher detonation properties (i.e., detonation velocity and pressure) than those of any mechanical mixture having the same density and composition as the compound of the invention, is a quite insensitive explosive material, can be cast at temperatures attainable by high pressure steam, and is prepared from inexpensive ingredients. Methods of preparing the compound and the fine-grained eutectic composition of the invention are given.

Patent for a combined cotton and corn planter by having two wheel guards and graduators, one feed-wheel is mounted fixedly on the shaft, the other is removable; so that it can be easily converted from planting corn or cotton-seed, and vice versa, and regulating the planting of either. Illustration is included.

Patent for a cotton planter by using a pivoted spring-actuated tongue that has a feed-slot and regulating-slide to plant cotton or corn seeds easily and quickly. Illustration is included.

Patent for an improvement of privy-vaults using a soil-pipe with sleeve adapted to be connected with the trap-door of the vault-floor into an air-chamber where a ventilating-pipe is placed directly above a furnace; the noxious gases along with the products of combustion in the furnace would be drawn from the air-chamber and carried off to the outer air. Illustration is included.

Patent for an improved cotton-scraper by applying a regulator (a rod) with a series of perforations to the rear of the scraper, for the purpose of adjusting the depth, at which the cutter shall run. Illustration included.

Patent for improvements in bird cages by "having a woven-wire casing the meshes of which cannot be penetrated by ordinary insects, such as flies,&c., will be lured into the cage to be devoured by the bird" (lines 16-21).

Patent for the simplification, strengthening, and adjustment of levers to make using a cultivator hopple easier to use.

Patent for a flue which will not crack and open, due to settling or to transverse strain. Also to provide means whereby the flue may be supported from the joists of a ceiling, against settling.

Patent for "new and useful improvements in automatic train gates" (lines 5-7) including illustrations.

Patent for a new and useful airplane that provides the ability of the aircraft to take off from the ground at an abrupt angle. The aircraft has a supplemental propeller and jointed body to direct the machine upward in an abrupt ascent, making it especially useful in wooded areas or where obstructions prevent normal take-off.

Rhenium is recovered from an alloy containing that metal and either one or both of the metals molybdenum and tungsten by the following steps: (1) heating the alloy in the presence of O/sub 2/ to remove the Re from the alloy as gaseous Re/sub 2/O/sub 7/; (2) condensing the gaseous Re/sub 2/O/sub 7/; (3) dissolving the obtained solid Re/sub 2/O/sub 7/ in H/sub 2/O; (4) treating the solution of Re/sub 2/O/sub 7/ and H/sub 2/O with KCl to form KReO/sub 4/; and (5) heating the KReO/sub 4/ in the presence of H/sub 2/ to form Re.

Patent for anti-agitating device, including two figures describing said device, with illustrations. Author describes improvements for liquid dispensers on previous anti-agitating devices by altering the cylinder duties during its performance.

Patent for an improved lawn mower by having a cutter-bar and finger-bar work together to cut grass that close to trees, fences and or other obstructions, including illustration.

Patent for "Improvements in Wagon-Unloading Devices" including illustrations.

Patent, including illustrations, for "an improved well drilling rig or apparatus" which provides "a simple, efficient, and practical machine of this kind including revoluble means having a device operatively connected to a walking beam (from which a drilling tool is suspended), so that upon every complete revolution of the revoluble means, the drilling tool or bit will be given two direct drops, each alternating with the lifting movement of the drill bit" (page 1, lines 11-21).

Patent for windmills by making them self-regulating and "it consists in the construction and arrangement of devices whereby the force of the wind is made to move the wind-wheel and crank-shift backward and turn the vane, and also in the devices for turning the vane at will" (lines 14-18).

Patent for improvements in machines for truing the driving wheels of locomotives. Other possible uses include truing freight car wheels or similar car wheels.

Patent for an improved water-cooler by wrapping the outer surface of a water container with two layers of fabric; an imperforate projection–tube from a supplemental water reservoir arranged above the water container would moist the inner layer fabric and maintain its moisture; where the outer layer fabric prevents the water forcing through, thus keeping the water cool, illustration is included.

Patent for an improved agricultural traction engine with unique driving wheels.

Patent for a milling machine that executes thorough removal of dirt and other substances.
