A bicycle transmission has a plurality of cone gears with multiple gear surfaces and a corresponding plurality of ratio-change assemblies for selecting one of the gear surfaces of each cone gear. One cone gear provides reductions of the input rotary speed while the other cone gears provide increases in the input rotary speed. The ratio-change assemblies include apparatus for moving its gear surface both vertically and horizontally. The transmission includes a telescopic pedal arm assembly for input power and torque. The telescopic pedal arm is driven between an extended position and a retracted position during each revolution so that the available torque increases in conjunction with available leg power.

An electrical strip of infrared radiating elements which is powered by a battery and rolled up on a wheel and has many advantages over the present device. The first is visibility. It is highly visible at over three miles and the system is a 3/4' strip with LEDs placed every meter and on both sides that is rolled up on a reel. To deploy the marker the strip can be staked or held at one end while the strip is simply unrolled of the reel. The PIRM is self packing and, if packaged to do so, can automatically roll itself up. The PIRM can be operated either by a switch on the reel or remotely, by laser remote control or by a switch on the reel. The flashing pattern is completely programmable. The pattern can be used as a wind direction indicator. The speed it flashes can be used to indicate how hard the wind is blowing or how dangerous the landing zone is.

Composites in the form of a three-dimensional framework or skeleton of ceic particles are formed by a low cost, low temperature sintering process which decomposes a pre-ceramic inorganic or organic precursor. Upon heating, preferably in air, the precursor decomposes to form a ceramic phase in the form of necks between the individual ceramic particles. The properties of the resulting porous ceramic bodies can be modified, such as toughened by impregnation with monomers, oligomers or polymers which are polymerized or cured in situ. Such composites find use as cosmetic products or protheses for humans and animals, such as dental restoratives and bone implants. Methods of fabrication are disclosed which include the use of a pre-ceramic polymer as a binder for the ceramic particles which forms the necks of material between the individual ceramic particles upon firing.

The carnivore food is composed essentially of ground raw meat and dried cooked cereal, optionally supplemented with other protein, and extruded as continuous extrusions each composed of successive slugs adhered to each other in end to end relation by the natural fluids freed from the meat by cutting and extrusion forces. The amount of cereal is thoroughly impregnated by the freed juices, leaving an excess of freed juices only sufficient to adhere the food particles together and moisten the extrusion. The freed juices of the meat, and supplement, if any, are substantially the only moisture present.
