A fluid dispenser and method of operating the same. The fluid dispenser can include a wheel driven by diluent passing along a flow path in the fluid dispenser. The wheel can be connected to a pump to pump fluid from a reservoir for dispense into the diluent. In some embodiments, the ratio of wheel rotations to pump cycles is selected to provide a desired and repeatable dilution ratio of concentrated fluid to diluent. The fluid dispenser can be portable and/or disposable, and in some embodiments is adapted for installation on an upper rim of a reservoir wall. Also, the fluid dispenser can be provided with a baffle limiting the velocity and impact of incoming diluent to the wheel driving the pump, thereby improving dosing accuracy of the dispenser in some embodiments.

Fluid dispensing apparatus and method

A stick having an attachment device for tool-free quick release connection to another stick to form a shooting bipod or tripod and alternatively to connect to a weight-assist receiver of a backpack, the attachment device having a base configured to attach to the stick or to a handle of the stick, an integrally connected arm extending upwardly from the base, and integrally connected first and second fingers projecting outwardly from the base and configured to engage with a finger of a like attachment of the another stick and to alternatively engage within the weight assist receiver, the connecting fingers defining through holes configured to receive a quick-release pin where tool-free insertion or removal of the quick release pin through the through holes quick-connects or quick-releases the connecting fingers with or from the finger of the like attachment of the another stick and alternatively quick-connects or quick-releases the connecting fingers with or from the weight assist receiver.

The invention is for safety goggles to protect eyes of a user of the safety goggles. The safety goggles include a lens and a frame with a bridge. A goggle chamber is formed between the lens and the face of the user. The safety goggles have a lower ventilation assembly that admits air one either side of the bridge. The safety goggles also includes an upper ventilation assembly at an upper portion of the frame. Air enters the goggle chamber through the lower ventilation assembly, heats near a nose of the user and exits the goggle chamber through the upper ventilation assembly. Each of the lower and upper ventilation assemblies cover a corresponding lower and upper air path in such a manner that allows air to pass through the corresponding air path while preventing solid projectiles and splashed liquid from having a direct line of trajectory to the eyes of the user.

An improved nozzle for use with abrasive and/or corrosive materials is formed of sintered ceramic compositions having high temperature oxidation resistance, high hardness and high abrasion and corrosion resistance. The ceramic may be a binary solid solution of a ceramic oxide and silicon nitride, and preferably a ternary solid solution of a ceramic oxide, silicon nitride and aluminum nitride. The ceramic oxide is selected from a group consisting of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 and Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3, or mixtures thereof. Titanium carbide particles are dispersed in the ceramic mixture before sintering. The nozzles are encased for protection from external forces while in use by a metal or plastic casing.

Sandblasting nozzle

Cermet compositions having high temperature oxidation resistance, high hardness and high abrasion and wear resistance, and particularly adapted for production of high temperature resistant cermet insulator bodies, comprising a sintered body of particles of a high temperature resistant metal or metal alloy, preferably molybdenum or tungsten particles, dispersed in and bonded to a solid solution formed of aluminum oxide and silicon nitride, and particularly a ternary solid solution formed of a mixture of aluminum oxide, silicon nitride and aluminum nitride. Also disclosed are novel ceramic compositions comprising a sintered solid solution of aluminum oxide, silicon nitride and aluminum nitride. The cermet compositions are designed particularly to provide high temperature resistant refractory coatings on metal substrates, preferably molybdenum or tungsten substrates.

High temperature resistant cermet and ceramic compositions

A thermionic converter unit for use in a nuclear reactor to generate current, which can be constructed at low cost and which efficiently utilizes the nuclear fuel. The reactor utilizes an array of thermionic emitters whose peripheries are fluted so that a bulge of one emitter interfits the depression of another, to permit compact mounting, each emitter having several fuel passages located in the bulged portions for holding nuclear fuel and having a central collector passage for holding a thermionic collector. The emitters are constructed of rods of tungsten containing a small amount of thorium oxide, the thorium oxide not only improving the machinability of the tungsten but making it an efficient emitter.

Nuclear thermionic converter

Cermet composition having high temperature oxidation resistance, high abrasion and corrosion resistances, and good thermal shock resistance, and particularly adapted for production of high temperature resistant cermet insulator bodies, comprising a sintered body of particles of stainless steel or molybdenum, in a ceramic phase comprised of a ceramic oxide, particularly a ceramic mixture of chromium oxide and aluminum oxide, and forming a coating of chromium oxide as an oxidation barrier around the metal particles, to provide oxidation resistance for the metal particles. The cermet compositions are designed particularly to provide high temperature resistant refractory coatings on stainless steel or molybdenum substrates.
