Abstract: A locking mechanism interconnects telescoping outer and inner tubes between extended and retracted lengths, such as for a trek or ski pole. A detent or pin movably extends between the outer and inner tubes to secure the tubes with respect to one another. A connector sleeve can be disposed on one tube, and movably receive the other tube therein. A button can be carried by the sleeve, and is depressable to force the pin away from the outer tube, allowing the inner tube to slide. The button can be formed on an annular band that deforms when the button is depressed, and the resiliently returns to its initial shape when released to bias the button away from the detent or pin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature-sensitive safety valve assembly. The valve assembly comprises a first pressurised fluid region (50), which region has a first outlet (54), and a second pressurised fluid region (20), which region has a heat-sensitive sealing means (34). A valve (26b) between the first and second regions is adapted to be actuated by the pressure of a second pressurised fluid in the second region against biasing means (58) to open the outlet (54). The heat-sensitive sealing means (36) in the second region (20) fails at high temperature so as to de-pressurise the second region (20), thereby actuating the valve (26b) to move under the biasing means (58) to close the first outlet (54) and seal the first region (50).  The valve assembly comprises a relay unit (403,437,466), which is arranged to sense a parameter, and react to the sensing of the parameter by sealing the first region (50). The temperature-sensitive safety valve assembly is remotely electronically operable in a wireless manner. Also, the temperature-sensitive safety valve assembly has an electronic device and a solar cell arranged to supply power to the electronic device.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for using a serial bus to communicate (either passively or actively) with a point-of-load ("POL") regulator. Specifically, a power supply controller ("controller") communicates with at least one POL regulators by writing and/or reading data (either synchronously or asynchronous) over a unidirectional or bi-directional serial bus. In one embodiment of the present invention, the controller is adapted to write initial-configuration data (e.g., output voltage set-point, current limit set-point, etc.) to at least one POL regulator via the serial bus. At least a portion of the initial-configuration data is then used by the POL regulator to produce a particular output. In another embodiment of the invention, each POL regulator includes at least one register for maintaining POL information, such as unique identification information, fault protection information, output voltage set-point data, current limit set-point data, etc. The controller is then adapted to monitor and retrieve this information (i.e., fault-monitoring data) via the serial bus while the POL regulators are operating.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roof ventilator (1) having a base frame (3) which surrounds an upwardly directed shaft (2) and which can be secured to the roof of a building, bounding a roof opening. The roof ventilator has an outer housing (4) which can be supported on the base frame (3) and which bounds an upper outlet (5) for spent air situated with spacing above the upper edge of the shaft (2) and substantially coinciding with the shaft opening. In addition, the roof ventilator is provided with a covering device (6) which is disposed inside the outer housing (4) and which comprises flaps (9) or the like closing members (8) which are pivotally supported in a supporting frame (7) and which can be moved out of a closed position into an open position by means of a drive (13), while, in the open position of the flaps (9), the covering device (6) bounds, with its supporting frame (7), a passage (10) for spent air flowing upwards out of the shaft. In addition, a closable lateral outlet (12) for spent air is provided which can be shielded at the top, at least in places, for roof ventilation protected from atmospheric influences. In order to have a reduced structural height of the ventilator with the possibility of ventilation protected from atmospheric influences, the covering device has a closing unit (16) which can be moved as a whole and which can be transferred into an elevated travel position to free the lateral spent-air outlet (12) and, in its lower end-of-travel position, with the flaps in their closed position, shuts off the shaft opening.

Abstract: A system for long term releasing of medication in the mouth, and especially an intra-oral fluoride releasing system (IFRS) for releasing fluoride over a long term for inhibiting the formation of caries in the teeth. The system uses a holder (10,130) for retaining and protecting intra-oral fluoride tablets (100) or other intra-oral medicament in the form of fluoride releasing devices (IFRD). The holder (10,130) has a plate (30) with retaining sides  (40,140) and retaining posts (50,150,155) or a carrier. The tablet (100) will fit within the holder (10,130). The tablet (100) may be located in the carrier, or ligature bands (200) can be tied around the tablet (100) in order to releasably hold the IFRD within the holder (10,130). The system causes a level of fluoride to be maintained over a long term within the mouth which has been found chemically effective for caries control and without causing severe irritation to oral tissues.

Abstract: A protective gel composition is disclosed for coating skin surfaces, particularly the hands of the surgical attendants prior to covering the hands with standard surgical gloves. In one example, ihe composition comprises controlled proportions in mixture by weight of lanolin, a liquid silicone, polypropylene glycol mono-oleate, polytetrafluoroethylene powder in microspherical form and zinc oxide powder. Antimicrobial and anti-viral agents may be further added to fortify the coating of the composition, with a preferred such agent being nonoxynol-9. The sterilized composition is applied to the hands after scrubbing and just prior to insertion into the gloves. The coating is water-repellent to prevent skin contact with body fluids, such as blood and blood products, that may penetrate the gloves and otherwise expose the skin to harmful microbial and viral infections. When the gloves are removed following the surgical procedure, the coating is easily removed with an alcohol and liquid detergent wash.

Abstract: A closure for a container has a tamper indicating band with a band retainer in the form of an apertured flap or hoop which is hinged to the lower edge of the band. A series of windows open through the retainer, extending toward but not to its distal edge. As the retainer is turned inside out from its as-molded position to its use position, its distal and/or hinged edges deform to relieve compression and permit the retainer to be inverted by direct downward pushing force. As a result of the deformation, the retainer in its use position may, depending on the number and size of windows, have an advantageous polygonal peripheral shape rather than a circular shape.
