Patent for a coating remover, made by mixing an alkali, an oxidizing agent, a solvent, and another chemical to prevent water evaporation.

A computer implemented information extraction process that locates and identifies eddy current signal features in digital point-ordered signals, said signals representing data from inspection of test materials, by enhancing the signal features relative to signal noise, detecting features of the signals, verifying the location of the signal features that can be known in advance, and outputting information about the identity and location of all detected signal features.

An improved thermophotovoltaic (TPV) n/p/n device is provided. Monolithic Interconnected Modules (MIMs), semiconductor devices converting infrared radiation to electricity, have been developed with improved electrical and optical performance. The structure is an n-type emitter on a p-type base with an n-type lateral conduction layer. The incorporation of a tunnel junction and the reduction in the amount of p-type material used results in negligible parasitic absorption, decreased series resistance, increased voltage and increased active area. The novel use of a tunnel junction results in the potential for a TPV device with efficiency greater than 24%.

Patent for a new and improved lock. This design "is to produce a lock and key in which the lock-case has no exterior opening communicating with its wards or works, but is provided with a recess only for supporting the shank or axis of the key, while the only opening for the admission of the key to the interior of the lock, whereby its wards or bolt may be operated or controlled, is upon the interior of the lock-case, so that there is no possibility of introducing . . . picking devices therein, or of introducing any explosive agents" (lines 15-27).

Patent for an incubator that automatically maintains at least a minimum temperature, with the option to set and maintain a higher temperature, with adjustment of temperature from outside the incubator. The incubator uses electric heat.

Patent for improvements in curtain-fixtures in which it can be “readily applied to a window and capable of enabling its brackets to be readily adjusted to suite a curtain-roller.” (Lines 11-13) It also can prevent the curtain-roller becoming accidentally disengaged from the bracket by reason of one bracket being slightly higher than the other. (Lines 15-17) Illustration is included.

Patent for an improved sewing-machine shuttle, which shuffles the bobbins back and forth among one another. This makes sewing faster for easier for any person who sews.

Patent for a method of "destruction of the cotton-worm, and this object is accomplished by sprinkling the plants on which the worm feeds with a solution of arsenic in water." (Lines 8-12) Includes instructions.

Patent for improvements in steam engine, particularly the cylinder.

Patent for invention new and useful improvement in Plows, relates the shape of the mold-board and the manner of securing the point and land side to the standard [5-15].

Patent for a new and improved plow. This design consists in "[t]he combination, with the plow-body having slots formed with an enlargement at their forward ends near the lower edge of the mold-board, and having a laterally-projecting lug upon the landside near the point, of a detachable share and point having inwardly-projecting headed studs for engaging the slots in the mold-board, and having a perforated landside flange fitting upon the lug at the landside of the body" (lines 64-73).

Patent for a machine to remove the tops of beets while they are still in the ground "without packing or injuring the beets and without removing more or less than the exact portion required" (lines 15-18).

Patent for a music-leaf turner to be used on pianos. It can turn pages to the right or left and the pianist need not use their hands. The pianist depresses a pedal with their foot to turn a page.

Patent for a combined cultivator and harrow. "This invention relates to an improved agricultural implement comprising in its construction a cultivator and a harrow, the tooth elements of which are so constructed and supported by the frame as to be capable of being adjusted for operation in several different positions" (line 8-14) illustration included.

Patent for a telephone transmitter and receiver. The device is for lines "known as 'long-distance' telephones for the purpose of taking up the weakened vibrations and re-energizing them...transmitting them with increased volume" (line 12-15) illustration included.
