The modular picture frame system comprises a starter strip and a plurality of frames. The starter strip may be mounted horizontally with on a wall. The plurality of frames may be hung from the starter strip in positions that are below the starter strip. Each individual frame selected from the plurality of frames may display a photograph. A new frame may be added to the plurality of frames by sliding a T-track of the new frame into the starter strip or into an extender channel of a previously hung frame. The plurality of frames may be organized into a horizontal arrangement, a vertical arrangement, a grid arrangement, an irregular arrangement, or combinations thereof.

An engine block assembly includes an engine block casting including a plurality of cylinder bores disposed in series, each cylinder having a cylinder wall. Outer engine block walls are peripheral to the cylinder walls. A channel is formed between outer peripheral surfaces of the cylinder walls and the outer engine block walls. A coolant passage fluidly connects through the outer block walls to the channel. A water jacket insert includes an upper flange, a strut portion and a lower flange. A plurality of orifices are formed in the strut portion. A compressible seal attached to the lower flange of the water jacket insert, which is assembled into the channel and conforms to a bottom portion of the channel.

A material feed hose has a multilayered hose with an inflow end, an intermediate length, and an outflow end. The hose has an an armored crush-resistant outer layer and a heating layer disposed between an inner layer and an intermediate insulating layer. A pair of hollow tubular fittings have a beveled inflow to limit the amount of material which is out of the flow path as the material moves through the hose. The fittings have an associated pair of hose clamps.

A pressurized, plate-heated die system has a distribution plate. A material feed tube is coupled to a material feed aperture in the die. The die has a U-shaped shim, a first insulator dielectric plate with a temperature sensor there in and a heating element. The die has a second insulator dielectric plate and an end plate. A plurality of bolts couple the components of the die. A method of constructing the die renders the components easily disassembled, cleaned and assembled.

A dual gear, single outlet material pump includes a base plate, a lower gear plate and two associated gears, a spacer plate, an idler shaft, a drive shaft, an upper drive gear, and an upper gear plate. An upper idler gear is housed within a tri-lobed aperture of an upper gear plate. A plurality of screw holes are through a top plate. A plurality of heating plates are coupled to the sides of the assembled pump and a plurality of temperature sensors are coupled to the recesses in the spacer plate. An outlet manifold couples with each of the outlets of the lower gear plate and the upper gear plate to form a single outlet. The method of construction produces an easily disassembled, cleaned, and re-assembled pump.

An output supply assembly has a horizontal base receiving a container of a flowable material. A platen is positionable in the container. A pump feeds the pressurized flowable material from the container. A dispensing and handling assembly has two film-forming dies of similar configuration. A pair of hoses is provided between the output supply assembly and the dispensing and handling assembly. A control assembly couples the output supply assembly and the dispensing and handling assembly. Flowable material is fed through the assembly to form film. A pair of film-movers are beneath the film-forming dies. A pair of rotary dies are beneath the film-movers. An injector is located above the film-movers for periodic dispensing of particulate material. Containers are formed upon the solidification of the flowable material moving between the dies.
