Abstract: LE BREVET DEMANDÉ EST POUR DÉMONTRER PAR UN SYSTEME DE CHAUFFAGE AVEC DES PLINTHES ÉLECTRIQUES, QU'IL PEUT Y AVOIR UNE ÉCONOMIE DE CHAUFFAGE. LE TOUT RÉSIDE DANS L'INSTALLATION DES PLINTHES. J'AI MOI-MEME MODIFIÉ LA FAÇON DONT LES ÉLECTRICIENS INSTALLENT UN SYSTEME DE CHAUFFAGE ÉLECTRIQUE. PAR CES CHANGEMENTS J'AI CONSTATÉ UNE ÉCONOMIE SUR MES FACTURES D'ÉLECTRICITÉ D'AU MOINS DE 10% ET DE PLUS UNE MEILLEURE CIRCULATION DE LA CHALEUR A L'INTÉRIEUR DE LA MAISON. LE RENDEMENT DONNÉ ET LE RÉSULTAT ESCOMPTÉ EN VALENT LA PEINE. L'INSTALLATION DE PIECE ENTRE LE MUR LA PLINTHE FONT EN SORTE QUE LA CHALEUR FAIT UNE CIRCULATION QUI SE RÉPAND PLUS ÉGALEMENT DANS UNE PIECE. LA CIRCULATION DE LA CHALEUR SE FAIT IMMÉDIATEMENT AU LIEU DE RÉCHAUFFER LE DOS DE LA PLINTHE DE CHAUFFAGE, CE QUI PERMET D'ACCROITRE PLUS RAPIDEMENT LE DEGRÉ DE CHALEUR DEMANDÉ. LE TOUT SE FAIT DANS LA FAÇON DONT LA PLINTHE DE CHAUFFAGE EST FIXÉE AU MUR. ON DIT QUE DES APPARTEMENTS SONT DIFFICILE A CHAUFFER, MAIS L'INSTALLATION D'UN SYSTÉME DE PLINTHE A QUELQUE PEU DE DISTANCE DU MUR SOIT 1 POUCE DU MUR ET PLUS ET DEUX POUCES DU PLANCHER FONT TOUT UNE DIFFÉRENCE DANS LE COUT POUR UNE ÉCONOMIE D'ÉNERGIE DE CHAUFFAGE

Title: Self-encoding sensor with microspheres
Inventor: DICKINSON TODD A
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2000-04-06
Abstract: A microsphere-based analytic chemistry system is disclosed in which self-encoding microspheres having distinct characteristic optical response signatures to specific target analytes may be mixed together while the ability is retained to identify the sensor type and location of each sensor in a random dispersion of large numbers of such sensors in a sensor array using an optically interrogatable encoding scheme. An optical fiber bundle sensor is also disclosed in which individual microsphere sensors are disposed in microwells at a distal end of the fiber bundle and are optically coupled to discrete fibers or groups of fibers within the bundle. The identities of the individual sensors in the array are self-encoded by exposing the array to a reference analyte while illuminating the array with excitation light energy. A  single sensor array may carry thousands of discrete sensing elements whose combined signal provides for substantial improvements in sensor detection limits, response times and signal-to-noise ratios.

Abstract: A resuscitation device for providing a barrier between a rescuer and a patient requiring mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. This resuscitation device includes an inflatable portion which when inflated extends in the breathing direction between the rescuer and the patient so as to be placed around at least one breathing organ of the victim. An inflation member receives airflow from the rescuer to inflate the inflatable portion. In this resuscitation device, a valve assembly permits airflow from the rescuer to the patient and diverts the exhalation and body fluids of the patient from reaching the rescuer. An additional barrier member can also be provided for shielding the rescuer from the patient.

Title: Isolated phase bus duct joint assembly
Inventor: MILLS BRUCE WILLIAM
IPC: H02G5/06
Filed: 2002-03-21
Abstract: An isolated phase bus duct joint assembly couples together first and second phase bus duct sections where each section has an interior bus conductor surrounded by an outer housing. The joint assembly couples end portions of the interior bus conductor and has first and second conductor coupling portions each extending from the end portion of one of the interior bus conductors. Each coupling portion has a reduced outside dimension relative to the interior bus conductors. The joint assembly has a plurality of movable electrical contact fingers mounted by spring loaded adjustment fasteners around the outside surface of the first conductor coupling portion. Each of the fingers extends beyond the first conductor coupling portion for engagement with the outside surface of the second conductor coupling portion. The spring loaded adjustment fastener has a threaded stem passing through the finger and the first inner conductor coupling portion. The stem has an adjustable head engaging an outer surface of the finger and a compression spring mounted over the stem to engage the inside surface of the first inner conductor coupling portion. The heads and stems are adjusted relative the compression spring to urge the fingers into locking engagement with the first and second coupling portions. This advantageously results in no substantial increase in electrical clearance required between the inner bus conductors and the outer housing. Further, the heads may be backed off to provide for de-coupling or separation of the joint.

Title: Direct forming of non-textile fabric elements from thermoplastic pellets or the like
Inventor: GREGG JAMES S
IPC: B29C43/46
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: An inventive solid phase forming process, and related structure, using conventional pelletized thermoplastic compositions to form the elements of a non-textile fabric by coining a single pellet or briquette of the polymer into an individual element in a single forming step. The steps of the process generally include: a) positioning a pellet (78A) in or adjacent to a mold cavity, and b) forcing the pellet into contact with the mold surfaces of the mold cavity to plastically deform the pellet to cause the pellet to adapt the shape of the mold cavity (102, 104). The mold cavity has a shape to form the desired element, and its volume is substantially the same as the volume of the pellet (78A). The forcing step or act preferably uses an energy and speed wherein the pellet superplastically deforms to substantially fill the volume of the mold cavity. This process is repeated with the particular element being formed in the appropriate order to form interconnected plates (40) and rivets (42), as an example, with the final result being a non-textile fabric.  The elements formed by the inventive process can have any of a variety of shapes, and can form base units for the formation of the non textile fabric of two, three or more elements. This inventive process elimininates the need to first form the pelletized polymer into a sheet or other type of preform prior to the forming of the final product.

At least one rotatable pinion gear is disposed within the casing and revolves about the axis of rotation. At least one side gear engaged with the pinion gear and rotatable about the axis of rotation is disposed within the casing, and is rotatably coupled to the casing through the second clutch during engagement of the second clutch. Neither of the first clutch and the second clutch is appreciably engaged with the casing in response to gear separating forces exerted between the pinion gear and the side gear.

Abstract: A user-configurable firewall and method in which a user-changeable security setting for a client computer is maintained by an access server through which a user accesses the public network. The user-changeable security setting can be used to specify which outside computers or network devices may access the client computer and what type of access to the client computer is allowed. If an attempt to access the client computer is made, the user-configurable security setting is checked to determine if the attempted access is allowed by the current security setting. If the attempted access is allowed by the current security setting, access is allowed to the client computer; otherwise, access is not allowed. If the user changes the user-configurable security setting, the changes to the user-configurable security settings are provided to the access server.
