Granted: 2009-05-19
Abstract: A protective device for a field apparatus includes first and second lateral plates, each plate having a top end and a bottom end. The first and second lateral plates are opposingly situated to mutually support each other in an A-shaped structure. In this A-shaped structure, the top ends are coupled together by at least one coupling device substantially at the apex of the "A", and the bottom ends are coupled together by a fastening assembly. The bottom fastening assembly acts to restrain the rending of the A-shaped structure by a force generated from debris striking the first or second lateral plate. Each lateral plate also has a handle positioned in proximity to the top end. When a user grabs both handles, the A-shaped structure collapses for storage. The protective device further includes a transmission line and a device for transmitting and receiving radio waves to an electromagnetic field apparatus.

Title: Non-invasive method and apparatus for treating orthostatic hypotension
Inventor: MCLEOD KENNETH J
IPC: A61H23/00
Filed: 2002-10-09
Granted: 2008-01-29
Abstract: A non-invasive method and apparatus are provided for treating orthostatic hypotension and for reducing the effects caused there from. An increase in blood and fluid flow in the lower extremities is achieved by vibrating the lower body of the individual at a frequency in the range of 10-l20Hz. The apparatus includes a strap for being secured to a body part of the individual's lower extremities, e.g., the sole of one's foot, and a displacement sensor which senses any movement of the body part. The displacement sensor continuously sends signals to a processor of the apparatus which indicate whether there was any movement of the body part. If the displacement sensor did not sense any substantial movement of the body part for a predetermined period of time the processor sends a signal to a vibrating mechanism. The signal activates the vibrating mechanism causing vibration of the body part for increasing blood and fluid flow in the lower extremities.  The vibrating mechanism causes vibration for a predetermined period of time.

Title: Spraying nozzle for rewet showers
Inventor: DUAN SHIZHONG
IPC: B05B7/06
Filed: 2002-10-21
Granted: 2010-04-13
Abstract: This invention relates to a three-stream atomizing nozzle for use with a rewet shower. The nozzle (22) has an air stream divider that separates the atomizing air from the source into three streams. The first stream is a straight air stream staying closest to and around the atomized water jet. The second stream is a swirl running around the first straight stream. The third stream is also a straight stream that wraps around the first straight stream and the second swirl. The nozzle also has a mixing chamber (74) in which the three air streams are mixed together for the atomizing purpose. The nozzle (22) can from the combination of the three air streams produce fine water droplets that are suitable for a paper rewet shower and more importantly creates a tailorable water mass profile. The mass profile can be tailored into a shape that is close to a square shape which is ideal for rewet showers as a square profile creates minimal coupling between adjacent zones.

Title: Dispenser gun for viscous or semi-viscous products
Inventor: WOODRUFF KEITH F
IPC: B05B11/00
Filed: 1994-06-21
Granted: 2007-05-29
Abstract: A dispenser gun for selectively dispensing controlled quantities of viscous or semi-viscous materials, and in particular liquid pesticides or insecticides, employs a vacuum driven operating system for discharging and reloading the viscous or semi-viscous materials to be discharged. The dispenser gun is designed to create pressure differentials in adjoining chambers which, in conjunction with a cooperating valve system, enables the discharge of precisely metered quantities of material and prevents continued and undesired discharge or dripping from a discharge nozzle after a preselected quantity of material has been discharged from the dispenser gun. The handle of the device includes structure for pre-selecting one or more predetermined quanitites of material to be discharged from the dispenser in repeatable sequences. The dispenser gun also includes structure for removably receiving a replaceable reservoir of viscous or semi-viscous material to be discharged from the gun.

IPC: G06F/
Filed: 2003-08-29
Granted: 2008-04-01
Abstract: During the last ten years patents directed to luggage scanning apparatus began to appear in the patent art. Absent from the variety of approaches in the art is stereoscopic imaging that entails exposing two or more images of the same object, each taken from a slight different perspective. If the perspectives are too different, that is, if there is too much separation of the X-ray exposures, the image will look flat. Yet with a slight separation, a stereo separation, interference occurs. Herein a system is provided for the production of stereo pairs. One perspective, a left or a right perspective angle, is first established. Next, the other perspective angle is computed. Using these left and right perspectives the X-ray sources (L, R) can then be spaced away from each other.
