Title: An adjustable-installed recessed lighting
Inventor: SHEN TIANLIN
IPC: F21V21/04
Filed: 2007-08-03
Granted: 2011-11-15
Abstract: The invention provides an adjustable-installed recessed lighting comprising: a lighting body on which a support hole is arranged; a spring leaf having the top end recessed by the support hole and a bottom end; wherein, a sliding chute located below the support hole is arranged on the lighting body; said support hole has multilevel clamping openings along the direction of the height; the top end of said spring leaf is inserted in the clamping opening and the bottom end may slide in the sliding chute. Since the support hole has multilevel clamping openings, the top end of the spring leaf may be inserted in the clamping opening with different height depending on the thickness of the installation wall; because of the setting of the sliding chutes, the spring leaf can keep the same bend for the different thickness of the installation wall so that the installation of the lighting is facility, simple and fastness.

Title: Transmission of a digital message interspersed throughout a compressed information signal
Inventor: ADHIKARI AKSHAY
IPC: H04Q3/64
Filed: 2008-01-30
Granted: 2012-06-26
Abstract: A method is disclosed that enables the transmission of a digital message along with a corresponding media information signal, such as audio or video. A  telecommunications device that is processing the information signal from its user, such as a speech signal, encodes the information signal by using a model-based compression coder. One such device is a telecommunications endpoint. Then, based on an evaluation of the perceptual significance of each encoded bit, or on some other meaningful characteristic of the signal, the endpoint's processor: (i) determines which encoded bits can be overwritten; and (ii) intersperses the digital message bits throughout the encoded signal in place of the overwritten bits. The endpoint then transmits those digital message bits as part of the encoded information signal. In this way, no additional bits are appended to the packet to be transmitted, thereby addressing the issue of compatibility with existing protocols and firewalls.

Title: Flush valve
Inventor: JOHNSON DWIGHT N
IPC: E03D3/02
Filed: 2008-07-03
Granted: 2011-09-13
Abstract: Tilting of a main valve assembly under high inlet pressure conditions is prevented by supporting the main valve assembly with housing rib engaging a skirt on the main valve guide tube. Pilot valve opening results from contact of an enlargement on the pilot valve stem with the push rod as the pilot valve begins its upward movement. An off center baffle compensates for the pressure pattern resulting from the side entry inlet. Throttling structure provided by a skirt on the guide tube cooperating with a shoulder in the outlet passage provides a desirable large flush flow. The inlet and handle openings in the valve body include bosses adjacent thereto an internal to the housing.
