With regard to a specific definition of new gas, the so-called Christmas Bill, developed in the House, more successfully keeps the original purpose of incentives in mind. To receive the higher price, a gas company would have to drill a well on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) at least two-and-a-half miles away from, or 1000 feet deeper, than an existing well. The House energy conferees recommended an intermediate price increase for gas from wells drilled between one-and two-and-a-half miles from an existing well. But going on the assumption that gas producers will...

Bens of New York City took out patent #1,664,397 on a golf ball "with chemical pockets dotting the outer skin." When the ball impacted the pockets burst, releasing a miasma of ammonium chloride.

Hollow chests have been replaced by noticeable and often visible breasts, and haughtiness by a sometimes even more disconcerting look of warmth and directness. Artificiality is out and naturalism is in: wind machines to fling hair about in a suitably natural manner have become as important as print dryers...

...constructed a remarkable sensor that warns of pressure increases by means of radio telemetry. As the investigators explain in the Journal of Neurosurgery, they drill a small hole in the patient's skull and insert a piston so that its base rests on the brain's outer casing. Built into the piston is a miniature induction tuner. If pressure inside the cranium increases, it pushes the piston up a fraction of an inch, thus transmitting a signal to the telemetry receiver at the patient's bedside...
