Patent for "new and useful improvements for churn-power" (line 5), including illustrations and instructions.

Patent for a new and improved cotton-gin, where the rollers, feed devices, and blades will be vertically disposed and arranged in groups, and which will also simplify the construction of cotton-gins.

Patent for a "press as simple in construction and operation as possible, of sufficient power to do the work effectively, and arranged to be readily moved from place to place at pleasure" (lines 12-16).

Patent for a new and improved planter. This design consists "[i]n combination with the hopper of a corn or cotton planter, a vibrating sector provided with two median pins . . . and a seed-slide having the vertical stud projecting up between said pins, whereby the seed-slide will be intermittently and alternately struck by the two pins and reciprocated in opposite directions" (lines 58-65).

Patent for "new and useful Improvements in Baling-Presses" (lines 5-6) including instructions and illustrations.

Patent for a device that can be used both to plant corn and apply fertilizer to fields.

Patent for a new and improved advertising sign. This design "consist[s] in the fixed staff or upright having pulley, bent rotary vane having the opening, and adapted for the display of advertisements, inside [the] bent rotary vane, and the governor adapted to regulate automatically the speed at which the vanes are to revolve" (lines 68-80).

Patent for a boiler-cleaning compound made up of "an improved compound having sodium hydrate for a base, and having certain subordinate ingredients whereby its efficiency is increased, and whereby the action of the sodium hydrate is so modified that no detriment to the boiler iron will result" (lines 10-16).

Patent for a clip for type-writers for Remington or similar type-writers that holds post-cards, envelopes, and similar short items in place. The invention prevents "the blurring or bad impression which is apt to be made, more particularly in machines having type bars with two types each, when the paper is not held firmly to the roller or platen" (lines 12-16).

Patent for a bicycle that has a drive wheel, a ratchet wheel attached to the drive wheel, a chain that goes around the ratchet wheel, an apparatus for reciprocating the chain, a guideway from the chain to the ratchet wheel, a knob on the chain that engages the guideway, a pair of levers connected to the chain, and a chord that connects the levers to the chain.

Patent for an improvement to boll breakers and cotton cleaners by performing the tasks of picking, cleaning, beating, and spreading more efficiently and effectively.

Patent for new and improved detailing rocks for railroads. What makes this unique is that the clamp can be quickly and effectively clamped to railroad tracks.

Patent for "a butter mold embodying means for cutting and shaping a piece of wrapping paper to conform to the configuration of the mold in which it is adapted to be placed to receive the butter." (lines 9-13).

This invention is comprised of an RF transport system which delivers a phase-stable RF signal to a load, such as an RF cavity of a charged particle accelerator. A circuit generates a calibration signal at an odd multiple frequency of the RF signal where the calibration signal is superimposed with the RF signal on a common cable that connects the RF signal with the load. Signal isolating diplexers are located at both the RF signal source end and load end of the common cable to enable the calibration to be inserted and extracted from the cable signals without any affect on the RF signal. Any phase shift in the calibration signal during traverse of the common cable is then functionally related to the phase shift in the RF signal. The calibration phase shift is used to control a phase shifter for the RF signal to maintain a stable RF signal at the load.

The invention is a process for producing improved electrical-junction devices. The invention is applicable, for example, to a process in which a light-sensitive electrical-junction device is produced by: (1) providing a body of crystalline semiconductor material having a doped surface layer; (2) irradiating the layer with at least one laser pulse to effect melting of the layer; (3) permitting recrystallization of the melted layer; and (4) providing the resulting body with electrical contacts. In accordance with the invention, the fill-factor and open-circuit-voltage parameters of the device are increased by conducting the irradiation with the substrate as a whole at a selected elevated temperature, the temperature being selected to effect a reduction in the rate of the recrystallization but insufficient to effect substantial migration of impurities within the body. In the case of doped silicon substrates, the substrate may be heated to a temperature in the range of from about 200/sup 0/C to 500/sup 0/C.

Patent for a machine that displays advertisements in a rotation.

Patent for a device that attaches to a cotton gin that cleans and crushes the cotton bolls.

Patent for a collar with tie supporting strip.

Patent for a new and improved wire-stretcher. This design consists in "the combination, with an essentially T-shaped body having the members of the head inclined in direction of the straight member and provided with a series of teeth, of a lever pivoted to the straight member of the body contiguous to the head and clamping-jaws pivoted upon the said lever" (lines 32-39).

Patent for an antiseptic liniment comprised of flaxseed oil, turpentine, and sulphuric acid.

Patent for a new and improved locking pawl for anchor chains. This design is "to provide a novel combination of parts whereby the rising and falling and horizontally-moving clamping-block can be rigidly locked in its engagement with the cable to stop the latter; also, to provide novel means for protecting the wood-work of the vessel from wear as the cable is moved" (lines 13-19).

Patent for improvements in the construction and use of turbine motors.
