Title: Appliance switching mechanism and method.
Inventor: HUGGLER PETER
IPC: A47J37/08
Filed: 2000-05-08
Abstract: A switching mechanism is utilized in a heating appliance, such as a toaster, that includes a bread support that supports a food item to insert and remove the food item from a cooking cavity of the appliance. The appliance includes an electronic circuit that controls operation during a heating cycle. The switching mechanism includes a switch having a first terminal adapted to receive a power signal and a second terminal coupled to the electronic circuit. The switch operates responsive to an applied switching force to couple the first terminal to the second terminal and thereby apply power to the electronic circuit. A switch actuator has a first end, a second end, and a retaining member near the second end. The second end is attached to the appliance to rotate about an axis. The switch actuator operates responsive to a force being applied to the bread support to rotate about the axis to a first position and apply the switching force to the switch so power is applied to the electronic circuit. A retaining force is applied to the first end of the actuator to secure the actuator in the first position responsive to power being applied to the electronic circuit and the retaining member engages the bread support to hold the bread support with the food item positioned in the cooking cavity when the actuator is in the first position. The switch actuator operates responsive to the retaining force being removed to rotate about the axis to remove the switching force and thereby remove power from the electronic circuit to terminate the heating cycle. Various other aspects of the present invention are directed, for example, to contacts formed on a printed circuit board and switch blades formed separate from the printed circuit board, heat-staking of the switch blades, and crimp derails on the switch blades that eliminates the need for wire terminals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of preparing a conditioned medium from a confluent stromal cell culture, the method comprising: (a) culturing stromal cells to confluence in a stationary phase plug-flow bioreactor under continuous flow of medium on a three dimensional substrate to obtain a stationary phase three-dimensional confluent stromal cell culture, wherein said stromal cell culture is grown to a density of at least 5 x 10 6  cells per a cubic centimeter of said substrate; and (b) separating and collecting a stromal cell conditioned medium from said stationary phase confluent stromal cell culture; thereby obtaining the conditioned medium.

Title: Treatment of a gas containing hydrogen sulphide.
Inventor: WATSON RICHARD WILLIAM
IPC: B01D53/52
Filed: 2001-08-13
Abstract: Sour gas containing hydrogen sulphide has hydrogen sulphide absorbed therefrom in an absorbent in a vessel 4. A hydrogen sulphide rich gas stream is formed by desorbing hydrogen sulphide from the absorbent in a vessel 12. The resulting hydrogen sulphide rich gas stream is partially burned in a furnace 32. Resulting sulphur dioxide reacts therein with residual hydrogen sulphide to form sulphur vapour which is extracted in a condenser 44. Residual sulphur dioxide and sulphur vapour are reduced to hydrogen sulphide in catalyst stage 54 of a reactor 50. Water vapour is removed from the resulting reduced gas stream by direct contact with water in a quench tower 60. At least part of the resulting water vapour depleted gas stream is sent to the vessel 4 with the incoming sour gas stream. <IMAGE>

Title: A packaging device.
Inventor: RUAN JONES STUART MICHAEL
IPC: B65D75/02
Filed: 2001-09-18
Abstract: A packaging device for protecting a trigger-operated sprayer comprising a bottle and a spray gun attachment comprising a trigger, a shroud and a nozzle. The packaging device has a plurality of panels which together define a tube adapted to fit over the tipper part of the sprayer with the lower edge thereof seated on the bottle and to cover the trigger, thereby hindering operation of the sprayer. One of the panels has an opening in which the free end of the trigger engages to hinder operation of the trigger and to hinder removal of the packaging device.

Title: Improving the crease recovery of fabrics.
Inventor: MOONEY WILLIAM
IPC: D06M13/02
Filed: 2002-05-03
Abstract: The crease recovery of fabrics can be improved using C20-C40 saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons which have melting points below 0° C., such as squalane. The hydrocarbons may be included in garment care products adapted for use in a tumble dryer, such as flexible sheets, in sprayable formulations or in fabric care compositions, such as fabric conditioning compositions which comprise a fabric softening agent. Fabrics may be treated with the hydrocarbons as part of a domestic laundering process.
