Granted: 2001-07-24
Abstract: A tool kit for working wheel bearings, comprising at least a first punch for removing bearing cups from a wheel hub of a vehicle. The first punch comprises an elongated handle and a first punch head having a first effective width. The structure of the first punch head is such that when the first effective width thereof is selected to correspond to an inside diameter of first and second spaced-apart similar bearing cups in a wheel hub of a vehicle, the first punch head is usable for insertion through one of the bearing cups and for working one bearing cup at the time out of the wheel hub. In another aspect of the present invention, the tool kit comprises a second punch having a bearing retainer mounted thereon. The bearing retainer has a pair of spaced-apart fingers each having a tab extending outwardly. The second punch is usable for pushing a bearing cone and roller assembly out of a bearing cup and for pushing an oil seal out of its seat in a wheel hub, while holding the bearing cone and roller assembly thereto and preventing the bearing cone and roller assembly from falling to the ground when the oil seal pops out of its seat. In other aspects of the present invention, the tool kit comprises a disc, a circular plate and a pair of wing nuts usable with the disc and plate for installing bearing cups, bearing cones, and oil seals in a wheel hub.

Title: Source capture system for an air cleaning system
Inventor: DIACHUK WOLODYMYR
IPC: B08B15/02
Filed: 1996-03-28
Granted: 2007-10-30
Abstract: A source capture system (110, 152) for capturing contaminated air from an industrial process (124) includes structure both for continuously capturing a contaminated air volume (120) with an ambient air volume (171, 173) to produce a mixed air volume (180) which is then transferred to an air clean apparatus (114, 156) or the like. The source capture system (110, 152) recognizes that air volumes will exhibit different characteristics traveling through an air treatment system, and that certain of those characteristics such as cloud-like formation (140) and contaminated air volumes (120) having significant gaseous phase vapor components are undesirable and operate to decrease the overall effectiveness of the air treatment system (114, 156), regardless of what type of technology is used for the air cleaning apparatus (114, 156). Accordingly, the source capture system (110, 152) is designed in such a way as to reduce the occurrence of cloud-like formations and increase the condensation of mist/vapor components of the air volume presented to the air cleaning apparatus (114, 156).

Title: Methods for automatic service provisioning for telecommunications
Inventor: KUNG FEN-CHUNG
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1997-09-29
Granted: 2000-10-31
Abstract: A method for automated service provisioning for telecommunications companies. A caller establishes a connection with the company and requests one or more service changes. The caller's voice or DTMF tone information is converted into data compatible with the processors of the automated method. The caller's data is then validated to determine whether the caller is an existing customer entitled to the requested service. Upon proper validation, a service order is automatically generated, and the service order is processed. In some embodiments, a log feature logs the caller's telephone number to enable a subsequent dial back confirming that the order has been executed.

Abstract: A hand-held sampling apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus has a handle (12), a head (16) connected to the handle (12) and a mechanism for retaining a substrate (45) on the head (16). The substrate (45) is preferably a sheet-form flexible substrate which is mounted so as to present a collection portion thereof for collection of a sample. The substrate is preferably of a dimension so as to be readily fitted into the inlet portion of an analyzer. The apparatus enables an area to be sampled quickly and efficiently, while keeping a user's hands away from the surface, and this enables otherwise inaccessible areas to be sampled. It does not require any intermediate transfer steps, transferring a sample from a collection media to another substrate for subsequent analysis.

Abstract: A gas appliance includes a pair of separate manifolds which each supply gas to two burner assemblies.      Each manifold includes a relatively short and straight steel tube having a central section with a generally square-shaped cross-section and end sections with generally circular-shaped cross-sections, and a pair of end plugs closing the end sections to form a sealed interior space. The end plugs and the tube are swaged together at the end sections to form a gas-tight seal. A pair of bolt-through type valves are associated with each of the manifolds to regulate flow of gas from the manifolds to the burner assemblies. The valves have inlets directly secured to the manifolds and outlets connected to the burner assemblies with burner tubes. A pair of light-weight aluminum supply tubes connect a gas inlet with the two manifolds. The supply tubes are preferably secured to the manifolds with bolt-through type adapters located at the longitudinal centers of the manifold tubes and between the two valves.

Granted: 2002-08-27
Abstract: The failure mail identification section and delivery status notification mail identification section identify whether or not the received E-mail data is failure mail and delivery status notification mail , respectively. Based on the identification result, the specific information extraction section extracts information necessary for output from the E-mail data.      The format conversion section converts the extracted data to facsimile data. The data edit section edits the converted data. The edited data is transmitted by the facsimile communication unit to the G3 facsimile via PSTN.      This allows failure mail and delivery status notification mail to be distinguished from normal E-mail, saving recording paper.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant de jouer à des jeux électroniques, comprenant un serveur (200) de jeu et un ou plusieurs terminaux (300) de joueurs. Les résultats des jeux sont fondés sur un nombre aléatoire (225, 325) généré par le serveur (200) de jeu et par chacun des terminaux (300) de joueurs. Le serveur (200) de jeu et les terminaux (300) de joueurs coopèrent dans le but d'assurer que les nombres aléatoires sont générés de manière indépendante. Ainsi, tant les joueurs, que l'hôte du jeu, par exemple un casino, peuvent Ètre sûrs que les résultats du jeu ne sont pas frauduleux. Dans un certain mode de réalisation, les nombres aléatoires (225, 325) sont transmis entre le serveur (200) de jeu et les terminaux (300) de joueurs, sensiblement au même temps. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, les nombres aléatoires (225, 325) sont codés et échangés entre le serveur (200) de jeu et les terminaux (300) de joueurs, les clés (294, 375) permettant de décoder les nombres aléatoires étant échangées ultérieurement.
