A control circuit for automatically stopping the flow of a gas in a primary circuit, includes a valve, a sensor and a controller. The valve is couplable with a primary pressure-regulator that controls the flow of another gas in a primary circuit. The valve has an inlet operable to receive a gas and an outlet operable to distribute the gas. The sensor is positionable in the primary circuit and operable to sense a parameter of the flow of the gas in the primary circuit and generate a signal that represents the sensed parameter. The controller is operable to receive the sensor's signal and, in response to the signal, direct the valve to close if the parameter of the flow of gas in the primary circuit lies outside of a predetermined range.

A method for recycling soft artificial fishing baits comprising: providing used soft artificial baits to be recycled; providing a mold having two separable sides cooperatively defining at least one cavity therein, each cavity having a shape corresponding to a desired fishing bait, fastening means, holding means, at least one vent hole; placing used soft artificial baits into the holding means; placing the mold with artificial baits in the holding means into a microwave oven; heating the mold with artificial baits in the holding means for a time sufficient to melt the baits and cause material to fill each cavity; allowing the mold to cool for a time sufficient to allow the material in each cavity to solidify; opening the mold and removing each molded bait; and cutting away any excess material that may be attached to the bait.

A conductivity testing device includes a body containing a magnet positioned to magnetically attach a mounting surface of the body to a surface to be tested. A testing chamber has an opening substantially in a plane with the mounting surface and valves positioned to allow the introducion of a fixed volume of liquid into the chamber. The chamber is sealed to the surface by a tubular resilint seal. An agitating device is mounted in the chamber for agitating liquid introduced into the chamber to wash the enclosed surface area. A testing circuit includes probes positioned in the chamber and a meter for indicating conductivity of a solution contained within the chamber. The testing circuit is electrically coupled to the agitating device in a first mode and connected to the probes in a second mode for testing conductivity of a solution in the chamber.

An improved injector system including an injector operatively connected to a source of pressurized gas and mounted to an accumulator located in close proximity to the bottom of a tank containing a fluid or other materials. The injector comprises a chamber housing and a valve disposed in the chamber housing. The chamber housing is matable to an accumulator that defines an orifice, and receives pressurized gas from an external source. The valve engages the accumulator and selectively administers or obstructs the release of the gas into the tank as directed by an actuator contained within the chamber housing. In ambient environments that tend to foul and clog the chamber orifice or accumulator orifice, a removable orifice plate is used wherein the valve engages the orifice plate.

A system is provided for the administration of a medicament, such as insulin, to a patient in small, controlled doses over an extended period in response to a continuously generated force. The force may be maintained continuously on a reservoir of the medicament in intermittent communication with a site in the body of the patient through a flexible and compressible tube. A constrictor about the tube keeps it normally closed except when a separate force is exerted to open the constrictor and permit the medicament to flow through the tube for a predetermined period. Alternatively, the continuously generated force may be applied intermittently to the medicament reservoir through the action of an escapement mechanism.

A louvered clamshell door assembly for the bottom of a preheating charging bucket includes a pair of doors which open by swinging outwardly and upwardly to discharge scrap metal from the bucket and which cooperably adjoin upon closing to retain scrap metal in the bucket. The doors include multiple stepped louvers which form the bottom weight-bearing surface of the charging bucket. The louvers of each door are supported by underlying chair support plates and are pivotably attached thereto to prevent jamming of scrap metal pieces between the louvers and to also permit thermal contraction and expansion of the louvers over many preheating cycles. Free convection of air through the louvers and scrap metal is facilitated by air deflectors attached to the chair support plates. Lateral shock absorption slots in the chair support plates improve the shock absorption capacity of the clamshell door assembly during loading of the bucket with scrap metal.
