Title: Improved trigger mechanism for self-heating/cooling packages or containers universally applied to both rigid and non-rigid packages and containers
Inventor: SARIC JERKO
IPC: F24V30/00
Filed: 2001-11-26
Abstract: A trigger mechanism applied to rigid and non-rigid packages and containers to either heat or cool said containers. Said trigger mechanism including a non-porous flexible chamber containing an activating solution connected to another non-porous or porous, flexible chamber containing a reagent wherein previous said chamber is separated from latter said chamber by a breakable seal thus forming the heater/cooler.  Said trigger mechanism including at least one appendage, tab, string, tape, strap or ridge, attached (or otherwise integrally formed as part of the packaging) to the outer package of the heater/cooler so that when stress is applied (i.e. pulling action such as opening of a potato chip bag), there is a uniform break along the breakable seal dividing the solution chamber from the reagent chamber causing the chemicals to mix thus initiating the exothermic/endothermic reaction.

Title: Casement window with improved tie bar guide and striker
Inventor: CHIAIA JOHN A
IPC: E05C9/18
Filed: 2001-12-12
Abstract: An improved casement window is provided which includes a tie bar and at least two tie bar guides through which the tie bar slidably extends. The tie bar guides are secured to a window frame which includes an elongated groove that extends parallel to the tie bar. Each tie bar guide includes at least one locating leg that extends outward from the tie bar guide body and that is received in the groove of the window frame to assist in the easy location of the tie bar guide and tie bar along the window frame. Further, each tie bar guide may be equipped with a protruding nib that is received in an aperture disposed in the tie bar. The cooperation of the tie bar guide and the aperture of the tie bar ensures that the tie bar guide is properly spaced along the length of the tie bar. The nib is sheared off of the tie bar guide after the tie bar guide is secured to the window frame and the tie bar is moved axially through the guide. The tie bar guide may also include outwardly protruding ribs that provide structural support for the wood stop that overlays the tie bar, the tie bar guides and the window frame. Distal ends of the back wall of the tie bar guides may be tapered and supported by a ledge. 'The length of the tapered distal ends may be shortened to adjust the position of the tie bar guides with respect to the window frame. The roller of the tie bar may be eccentrically mounted to enable the position of the roller to be adjusted after the tie bar and tie bar guides are secured to the frame. An improved keeper is provided which can be more securely attached to the sash to prevent pull-out.

Title: Treatment of sphincters with electrosurgery and active substances
Inventor: EDWARDS STUART D
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for treatment for body structures, especially internal body structures involving unwanted features or other disorders, that does not require relatively invasive surgery, and is not subject to other drawbacks noted with regard to the known art. A relatively minimally invasive catheter including a contained cooling element is inserted into the body. The distal and proximal end of the catheter are extended or retracted or some combination thereof so as to achieve optimal delivery of treatment. Treatment of the body structures is applied using the electrodes embedded in the cooling element, and the unwanted features or disorders are relatively cured using the applied treatments. In a preferred embodiment, the applied treatments can include application of energy or substances, including application of energy (such as of radio frequency energy, microwave energy, or laser or other electromagnetic energy) or substances (such as collagen or other bulking, plumping, or shaping agents; saline or other energy-receiving electrolytes; astringents or other debulking, reducing, or shaping agents;  antibiotics or other bioactive, chemoactive, or radioactive compounds). In a preferred embodiment, more than one applied treatment can be performed, either in conjunction, in parallel, or seriatim, so as to achieve a combined effect more substantial than any one individual such applied treatment.

Title: Method and apparatus for calibrating a non-contact gauging sensor with respect to an external coordinate system
Inventor: GREER DALE R
IPC: G01B11/03
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: A photogrammetric measurement system is positioned at a vantage point to detect and calibrate its reference frame to the external reference frame demarcated by a light-reflecting retroreflective target dot (602) on a spherical target (600). A tetrahedron framework with the spherical target (600) mounted on one of the vertices serves as a reference target (400) that is placed in front of a non-contact sensor (240) to be calibrated. The photogrammetric measurement system reads and calibrates the position of the retroreflective target dot (602) while the structured light of the sensor (420) is projected onto the framework of the reference target (400). The structured light intersects with and reflects from the reference target (400), providing the non-contact sensor (240) with positional and orientation data. This data is correlated to map the coordinate system of the non-contact sensor (240) to the coordinate system of the external reference frame.

Inventor: LAGADEC KRISTEN
IPC: B64G1/28
Filed: 2002-04-23
Abstract: For controlling the attitude of a satellite placed on a low earth orbit, components of a vector Bm of the earth's magnetic field along three measurement axes of a frame of reference bound with the satellite (typically by means of a three-axis magnetometer)are measured. The orientation of the earth's magnetic field in the frame of reference is computed and a derivative Bm of the vector is also computed. Magneto-couplers carried by the satellite are energized to create a torque for spinning the satellite at an angular frequency .omega.c about a determined spin axis of the satellite, where .omega.c is greater than an orbital angular frequency 2.omega.0 of the satellite.
