Title: Weed and grass trimmer
Inventor: NOTTINGHAM JOHN W
IPC: A01G3/06
Filed: 2005-10-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a battery-powered grass and weed trimming device including a housing portion with a handle portion and a shield portion. A first switch is disposed on a top side of the housing and a second switch is disposed on the bottom side of the housing. The second switch acts as a safety interlock to avoid accidental actuation of the device. A hub is disposed adjacent to the shield and retentively maintains a filament. A motor forcefully rotates the filament for cutting grass and weeds. The trimming device is packaged for sale in a sealed package having a feature that permits a prospective purchaser to momentarily operate the tirmmer while it is still in the package. The trimmer includes an optional wheeled extension handle to which the trimmer can be mounted to allow a user to use the trimmer while standing.

Abstract: A spackling compound is provided that is easy to apply smoothly, can be applied in thicker layers than known spackling without cracking upon drying, and can be modified after drying without pitting, flaking, or crumbling, particularly at the edges of the applied spackling patch. The composition includes polyaramid fibers that act as structural strengtheners to provide the dried composition with exceptional strength and resistance to cracking. In a second embodiment, the composition further includes low aspect ratio (about equal to 1) ceramic microparticles that fill voids in the mixture to produce a smoother, more dense composition. Upon drying, the ceramic microparticles produce a very smooth surface that can be sanded without flaking or crumbling. Additionally, the invention provides methods of preparing and using the compositions to produce smooth repair patches with no cracks, are easy to sand without pitting or flaking, and to provide improved structural integrity to the repaired area.

Filed: 2004-06-01
Abstract: The invention describes compounds, compositions and methods of using the same comprising a chemical moiety covalently attached to amphetamine. These compounds and compositions are useful for reducing or preventing abuse and overdose of amphetamine. These compounds and compositions find particular use in providing an abuse-resistant alternative treatment for certain disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ADD, narcolepsy, and obesity. Oral bioavailability of amphetamine is maintained at therapeutically useful doses. At higher doses bioavailability is substantially reduced, thereby providing a method of reducing oral abuse liability. Further, compounds and compositions of the invention decrease the bioavailability of amphetamine by parenteral routes, such as intravenous or intranasal administration, further limiting their abuse liability.

Title: Moving body
Inventor: KONDO TOSHIYUKI
IPC: B60K1/00
Filed: 2004-08-12
Abstract: In a fuel cell system 20 mounted on a fuel cell vehicle of the invention, water separated by a gas-liquid separator 38 included in a hydrogen supply system and by a gas-liquid separator 48 included in an air supply discharge system 40 is temporarily accumulated in buffer tanks 62a through 62c, which are set inside a front fender or inside a front bumper of the vehicle. The accumulated water is released from water outlets 64b and 64c located forward and backward a front wheel of the vehicle having relatively little potential effects of vehicle wind or air flow caused by motion of the vehicle. For the purpose of reducing the potential effects of the vehicle wind on the released water, the fuel cell vehicle may have an air flow path that makes the released water flown obliquely backward the vehicle by the air flow or form an air curtain of exhaust gas or the air ahead of the released water. This arrangement effectively restricts the released water from being scattered by and swirled on the vehicle wind and thereby prevents potential troubles such that the released water is scattered on other vehicles running on the side and behind.

Inventor: SAWADA JAMES A
IPC: B32B33/00
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: High density adsorbent structures may be constructed in parallel passage contactor configurations using improved high density adsorbent sheets.  Improved high density adsorbent sheets may be formed using adsorptively active support or substrate materials upon which adsorbent material is applied, such as by coating processes, so that in the resulting high density adsorbent structure both the substrate and the coated adsorbent material are active in adsorption processes. Alternatively, improved high density adsorbent sheets may be formed comprising precursor materials, such as certain clays, which may be coated onto known support materials and thereafter converted to active adsorbent materials using known conversion techniques. This produces high-density adsorbent sheets comprising adsorbent material without inert binder material fractions. Improved self-supporting adsorbent sheets also may be formed without using support material, resulting in higher adsorbent densities relative to known adsorbent sheets.
