Title: Exterior lamp check for motor vehicles
Inventor: KREFT ALLYSON K
IPC: G01M17/00
Filed: 2006-01-19
Abstract: An automated system for cycling vehicle lamps on and off allows direct inspection by one person of operability of the lamp bulbs while doing a walk around of the vehicle. The system is switch operated. Interlocks to operation are based upon the status of the vehicle's service brake, its park brake and the on/off status of the lights themselves. Lights are organized by related groups and each group given a distinctive, repeating cycle to lighten the burden of memorization on the operator.

Title: Double-sided playing cards and method and device used for producing them
Inventor: HUIZINGA RICHARD
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 2004-07-29
Abstract: A dual-sided card deck allows for the contemporaneous play of two separate card games. The deck is comprised of a plurality of cards having a first set of values on a first side and a second set of values on a second side. A first card game is played using values assigned to symbols provided on the first side of each of the plurality of cards to determine the outcome of the first game. The outcome of a second card game is determined using the same hand of cards used to play the first game, but using values assigned to symbols provided on the second side of each of the plurality of cards held during the first game. To deter card counting, the symbols appearing on the first side of the plurality of cards can be pseudo-randomly generated and linked to the symbols appearing on the second side of the plurality of cards.

Inventor: HOPKINS THOMAS E
IPC: B32B27/16
Filed: 2006-03-10
Abstract: A thermally printable commercially functional cash register tape produced from a thin oriented, heat stabilized, thermoplastic film is described. This thermoplastic tape replaces the currently used paper cash register tape. It will accept printing, has sufficient machine direction stiffness and sufficiently reduced surface electrical charges to function in conventional commercial cash register printers. The thermoplastic tape is much thinner than the conventional paper tape so a roll of the plastic register tape contains about 4.7 times the paper length of a typical cash register roll.

IPC: A23L13/00
Filed: 2005-04-04
Abstract: The present invention is a method for improving the visual appearance of a food product (12) and a film (22) utilized in the method. The film includes an effective amount of a nitrogen-containing compound contained within or applied to one side of the film and adapted to contact a food item held within a food packaging container (10). Upon contacting the food item within the container, the nitrogen-containing compound forms nitrous oxide gas within the container, because of the contact of the compound with and dissolution into the juices of the food product. Thus, the physical contact of the packaging film with the food product causes a preferred reddish bloom to appear on the viewing surface (100) of the food item without effecting the appearance, performance or color of the interior of the food product.

Title: A rotary to reciprocating motion conversion attachment for a power rotary hand tool
Inventor: ROHR EDWARD J JR
IPC: B23D57/00
Filed: 2005-04-15
Abstract: A preferred embodiment of a rotary tool reciprocating motion conversion attachment for a rotary power hand tool is described which is configured to be attached to a nose portion of the hand tool housing. The attachment has a rotary drive train in a housing that is connectable to the output shaft of the hand tool, the drive train driving a barrel cam having an exterior cam groove. A cam follower rides in the cam groove and produces reciprocating motion, with the cam follower being part of a cam follower assembly to which an implement holder is attached. The preferred embodiment has a cam groove configuration which causes the implement holder to move slower during a cutting stroke and faster during a return stroke, thereby tending to optimize the operation of the cutting implement. The preferred embodiment also includes a planetary gear set for reducing the rotational speed of the hand tool output shaft to reduce the speed of reciprocation of the attachment.
