Calibrated springs are provided to facilitate the adjustment of the second stage trigger pull weight. No set screws adjustments are necessary and a secondary safety sear similar to the factory original fire control components has been incorporated to prevent the unintentional mechanical discharge of the firearm. Installation of the disclosed device is identical to the factory fire control group and requires no hand fitting.

A coated article is provided with a low-emissivity (low-E) layer stack for use in a window unit or the like. The layer stack, or coating, may permit the coated article to achieve one or more of a low solar factor (SF) value, a high selectivity (T_vis/SF) value, substantially neutral color at normal and/or off-axis viewing angles, and/or low emissivity. When high selectivity values are achieved, there is provided a high ratio of visible transmission to SF, which is a desirable feature in certain example instances. In certain example embodiments, a sub-oxide layer may be used as a contact layer under an infrared (IR) reflecting layer in order to permit low SF values, high selectivity, and good coloration to be achieved.

A coolant additive composition comprising a sustained release component and an additive component, the additive component is effective to provide at least one benefit to a coolant when released into the coolant, the sustained release component includes a polymeric material and is effective to reduce the rate of release of the additive component into the coolant relative to an identical composition without the sustained release component.

An improved combination card and card retaining member for removably securing the card to the card retaining member, the card having formed within it an aperture and a slot connecting the aperture with an edge of the card, and the card retaining member being a member, such as a ring, which may be passed through the slot and into the aperture to secure the card to the card retaining member. The aperture and slot are configured and located on the card in such a manner as to improve the ease of attachment and detachment of the card to and from the card retaining member while minimizing the risk of accidental detachment of the card from the card retaining member. One or more cards may be used simultaneously with a single card retaining member. A preferred use of the invention is to retain and organize credit cards.

The lubricant coalescing filter element is provided that includes a cylindrical outer screen member, at least one filter element disposed inside the cylindrical outer screen member and being coaxial with the outer screen member, and a drainage arrangement disposed between the cylindrical outer screen member and the at least one filter element to drain accumulated lubricant out of the at least one filter element.

The invention relates to a vegetation support (10) consisting of a mat of entangled organic fibers (14) which form said vegetation support (10). A substrate (20) is introduced into the hollow spaces of the mat (12) and a plant material (22) able to germinate, especially seeds, spores, sprouts or the like, is planted on an upper side (16) of the mat (12). The fibers (14) of the mat (12) are secured against detachment from the mat (12). The inventive vegetation support (10) is characterized in that the mat (12) fibers (14) are coconut fibers and that a plant-compatible binding agent (28) is used to prevent the fibers (14) from becoming detached from the mat (12). The binding agent is applied to the surfaces of at least a part of the fibers (14) and ensures that the fibers (14) of the mat (12) are at least partly glued to each other.

A multi-pane, multi-geometry eye-shield adapted to be installed into a frame of an eye-shield, such as a goggle for protecting user's eyes, comprising a spherical anterior outer eye-shield member, a cylindrical posterior inner eye-shield member, an irregular-shaped gasket member between the anterior and posterior eye-shield members forming a water-tight and air-tight semi-annular space therebetween. The posterior cylindrical inner eye-shield member may further be adapted for heating to reduce condensation comprising a thin-film, electrically conductive heating element, such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), and electrical contact members to connect the thin-film heating element to a power source.

The AC plasma display panel (PDP) has electrodes arranged to correspond to each discharge cell between two substrates, address electrodes for the selection of display cells are formed on one substrate, and a pair of display electrodes for display discharge are formed on the other substrate. The plasma display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other; display electrodes formed along one direction on the first substrate, being parallel to one another; address electrodes formed on the second substrate along the direction intersecting the display electrodes, and being parallel to one another; barrier ribs arranged in the space between the first substrate and the second substrate to define a plurality of discharge cells; and phosphor layers formed in each of the discharge cells. Then, expanded portions are formed in the regions of the address electrodes that correspond to the outermost discharge cells adjacent to the edges of both of the substrates.

Described herein are a transient event detector comprising electrical circuitry suitable to detect a transient event, and a container having a wall with at least two electrically conductive contacts that are electrically connected to the electrical circuitry, each of the at least two electrically conductive contacts being electrically isolated from each other, and a movable electrically conductive piece that intermittently connects at least two of the at least two electrically conductive contacts when the electrically conductive piece is in motion, said movable electrically conducting piece having a mass that is low enough such that if the movable electrically conducting piece is at rest and bridges two of the at least two electrically conductive contacts no transient event is detected by the electrical circuitry, methods of use and methods of manufacture.

The invention relates to a detection system for detecting electrically conductive foreign objects (F) in the area (3) between the primary winding and secondary winding of an inductive power transmission system, wherein the detection system also has at least one primary coil (L_A) and at least one secondary coil (L_B) which are coupled together, and that at least one primary coil (L_A) and/or at least one secondary coil (L_B) of the detection system is an integral part of at least one electric resonant circuit (L_A-C_A; L_B-C_B), wherein an electric source (7) energises at least one resonant circuit (L_A-C_A), and that a monitoring device monitors at least one electric variable on the secondary side and/or on the primary side of the detection system and effects the foreign object detection by means of the measured electric variable.

A planar diaphragm loudspeaker for use in a suspended ceiling grid and related methods of manufacturing are provided. The loudspeaker includes a rectangular, planar diaphragm of polymer material sized to fill an opening of the ceiling grid. The front surface of the diaphragm defines a three-dimensional, textured pattern formed by a secondary operation, such as, etching, perforating, and adhesion of granular or fiber material. The diaphragm may include an outer region about the periphery of the diaphragm having a density of at least 5 pcf and an inner region circumscribed by the outer region, thereby providing sufficient structural stiffness to the outside perimeter of the diaphragm and eliminating the need of an outer frame. The density of the inner region is at or below about 3 pcf throughout the inner region. Also, a shroud may secured to the diaphragm, in which the shroud and the diaphragm are securable in a first orientation for flush mounting or in a second orientation for tegular-drop mounting. The loudspeaker may also include a bracket rigidly attached to the diaphragm at two spaced locations in the outer region and extending across the inner region between the spaced locations.
