Abstract: A child's seating restraint is removably anchorable to a stationary article of furniture, such as a couch, sofa, or similar furniture typically found in the household.  The restraint in turn provides for the removable securing of an infant, toddler, or small child thereto, to prevent the child from falling from furniture inadvertently.  The seating restraint includes a belt secured to the back portion thereof.  A continuous, unitary seat bottom and seat back portion is formed of a soft, pliable, resilient and washable material such as a closed cell foam plastic.  A washable fabric cover may be provided for the seat bottom and/or seat back (or beneath the seat bottom), to extend from the back of the belt portions are passed.  An alternate embodiment includes at least one J-shaped hook extending rearwardly from the seat back portion for anchoring the seat back portion to a piece of furniture. Alternatively, a sheet of material extends from the seat bottom for passing around a furniture cushion to anchor the seating restraint, and therefore a child, to the furniture.  The child seating restraint provided a convenient and economical method for a parent or guardian to keep track of a small child which is beginning to develop mobility, while assuring that the child does not endanger him or herself.

Title: Apparatus and method for two-sided printing
Inventor: SANSONE RONALD P
IPC: B41J13/12
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: An apparatus and method for two-sided printing on items such as mail pieces. A printing station includes an ink jet printhead which is spaced from a transfer roller. As the roller rotates the printhead forms a first image on the surface of the roller. A mail piece or other item to be printed is feed through the printing station to pass between the printhead and the roller with the timing control so that the mail piece makes tangential, rolling contact with the transfer roller just as the image is completed on the roller and the image is then transferred from the roller to one side of the mail piece as the mail piece continues through the printing station by an offset printing process. As the mail piece passes between the roller and the printhead the printhead is controlled to print a second image on the opposite side of the mail piece.

Title: Method and assembly for monitoring a predetermined level in a container
Inventor: GETMAN IGOR
IPC: G01F23/22
Filed: 1998-04-16
Abstract: An assembly for monitoring a predetermined level of a material in a container comprises two ultrasonic transducers mounted on the container in line with the level to be monitored, such that an interspace exists between the ultrasonic transducers into which the material enters on attaining the level to be monitored. The one ultrasonic transducer is an emitter transducer which at predetermined points in time for emitting ultrasonic pulses is energized by a frequency which is so low that the ultrasonic pulses are transmitted through the interspace to the detector transducer even when the interspace is filled with air. The other ultrasonic transducer is a detector transducer which converts detected ultrasonic pulses into electrical detection signals. To determine whether or not material is in the interspace between the ultrasonic transducers a check is made as to whether the detector transducer outputs after each point in time of emission a detection signal in a time interval corresponding to the transit time of the ultrasonic pulses from the emitter transducer to the detector transducer in air.

Patent CA-2239476-A1 (CA)
Title: Ductile embedment in brittle metal parts
Inventor: HAND BRYAN
IPC: B22D25/00
Filed: 1998-06-03
Abstract: A cast pulverizer grinding ring made of cast brittle, white-cast iron has increased resistance to failure by being provided with a mechanically intricate, lightweight ductile material system embedded in the brittle metal. The surface of the embedded material is coated, prior to casting, with a slurry of magnesium oxide particles in an alcohol vehicle together with a small amount of Bentonite particles (siliceous clay) and heat cured organic binder which resists attack by the molten metal and which avoids strong bonding with the solidified cast metal. The ductile embedment itself is a lightweight structure advantageously expanded metal. The intimate contact between the ductile embedment and the cast metal provides structural support while the lack of a strong bond between the ductile embedment and the cast iron allows an elastic/plastic deformation of the ductile steel forming the embedment to differ from that of the white-iron material cast therearound. The embedded ductile material holds the grinding ring together even if a through crack occurs.
