Title: Cosmetics compact having removable makeup pans
Inventor: GIESE TIMOTHY L
IPC: A45D40/24
Filed: 1996-01-04
Abstract: A container such as a compact for removably holding a plurality of removable articles (10) such as makeup pans (24) is disclosed. The compact has a bottom portion (18) including a platform (22) with means for removably holding the articles, a bottom wall (50) having openings (52) therein each of which is aligned with a respective article, and an article ejector (56) disposed between the platform and the bottom wall. The ejector has a connecting member (60) which communicates with buttons (58) and retaining means, preferably locator members such as upstanding bosses (64), for aligning the respective buttons each with an underlying bottom wall opening and a removable article. When pressure is applied through an opening onto a button (58), the button moves and ejects the article from its holding means. The compact has retaining means such as a receptacle which can be an inverted U-shaped channel (76) cooperative with the locator members (64) for retaining them and thereby retaining the ejector in its aligned operative position. The ejector can be a gasket (G, Fig. 14) having a plurality of buttons (58'), a connecting member (P, 60') in communication with the buttons, and one or more locator means or members (65') which extend from the connecting member.

Patent CA-2217174-A1 (CA)
Title: System for cleaning particles from a surface
Inventor: SWEET RONALD W
IPC: B08B1/02
Filed: 1996-05-06
Abstract: This invention is a system for axially reciprocating a tacky roller (18) (contact cleaning roller, or CCR) across a substrate (12) being cleaned by the roller, to spread particles which are non-uniformly distributed on the substrate surface (14) over a broader area of the tacky roller collecting surface, thereby decreasing the rate of decay of collecting efficiency, improving the average cleanliness of the treated substrate, and extending the operating lifetime of the tacky roller between renewals. The roller may or may not be in contact with the substrate surface during reciprocation of the roller. The system includes a second CCR (28) to alternate with the first CCR, such that at least one roller is cleaning the substrate while another roller is being renewed. The system can be configured to provide full width CCRs which overlap both edges of a surface at all times during reciprocation. It also can include shorter CCRs for cleaning only a portion of a surface, such as along only one edge, and can also include CCRs substantially shorter than the width of the substrate which can be programmed to reciprocate periodically across the entire substrate width. The system is useful for cleaning work piece substrates, such as webs and sheets, and also process hardware elements such as calendar rollers, coating rollers, conveyance rollers, and other CCRs having surfaces of lower tackiness.

Title: Method for recycling mixed wastepaper using ink agglomeration
Inventor: SRIVATSA NARENDRA R
IPC: D21H11/12
Filed: 1996-05-14
Abstract: Recycling of mixed wastepaper, including plastic coated paper and printed paper, is accomplished by repulping (12) the wastepaper mixture to disperse paper fibers, ink and plastic components into a pulp medium. Contact with a deinking chemical causes attraction between the ink components to form larger ink particles. The ink is adsorbed onto the plastic components to form ink/plastic clusters which are removed to produce a substantially ink and plastic free pulp medium. Recycled paper products with improved strength comprising paper fibers from pulp medium produced in accordance with the method of the invention are also provided.
Patent CA-2220813-A1 (CA)
Title: Passive infrared motion detector and method
Inventor: SHPATER PINHAS
IPC: G08B13/191
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: Zones of the PIR motion detector lens are staggered at close range to provide for pet immunity.      In a dual sensor, dual lens configuration, the sensor signal is acted on to generate an alarm only when the sensor signal is simultaneous, indicating that an infrared emitting object big enough to cross both staggered zones of a zone pair has been detected. To further enhance sensitivity and immunity to noise, two dual element PIR sensors are arranged in opposite polarity with their elements vertically parallel. The sensor output is simultaneous and of opposite polarity, and noise can be suppressed by blocking like-polarity signals.

Inventor: EXNER GREGORY F
IPC: B60R21/20
Filed: 1995-10-31
Abstract: A combined steering wheel and air bag modular unit is ultimately assembled. A  cover (24) is first molded around a steering wheel insert (22). The cover (24) is molded as a single piece over the wheel and the area where the air bag module will be placed. In the past, two separate covers were utilized since the air bag was generally attached to the steering wheel after the steering wheel had been attached to the vehicle. The modular unit (26) is then attached from the side to the vehicle steering column shaft (32). The present invention results in increased flexibility in the location of where manufacturing steps occur, and improves the aesthetic appearance of the cover for the steering wheel and air bag.

Title: Verification of barcodes
Inventor: HERZIG JOHN
IPC: G06K19/06
Filed: 1996-08-02
Abstract: Verification patterns (19) are associated with barcodes (1) to provide rapid, visual confirmation that a barcode is printed within acceptable tolerances. A  master of a barcode to be produced includes at least one verification pattern (19) including a wedge (21) formed by an unprinted area or areas bounded by a printed area or areas. During reproduction, an anticipated degree of ink-spread will cause a predetermined degree of shortening of the wedge, while abnormal degrees of shortening are an indication of press and/or pre-press errors and/or an inappropriately specified master. With a suitably dimensioned wedge, compliance with bar and space width tolerances can be assessed. Two types of verification patterns (19, 19A) may be used in conjunction with a single bar code to enable detection of different types of errors.
Patent CA-2229079-A1 (CA)
Title: Locking ball valve for a fluid conduit
Inventor: BENTON FRANCES H
IPC: F16K35/00
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: A locking valve for controlling fluid flow within a conduit has a spring-biased detent (34) in fluid communication with a fluid source. A movable valve structure (10) prevents fluid flow through the conduit in a closed position and enables fluid flow through the conduit in an open position. Movement of the valve structure from the closed position to the open position is obstructed by the detent when fluid pressure in the conduit is below a predetermined pressure. An increase in fluid pressure, however, moves the detent against the spring bias (40), removing the obstruction to movement of the valve structure, and allowing the valve structure to be moved to the open position. Thus, accidental or intentional drainage of the conduit when the fluid pressure source is inactive is avoided.
