Title: Closure system
Inventor: KACIAN DANIEL L
IPC: B01L3/14
Filed: 2002-09-27
Granted: 2007-08-21
Abstract: A closure system (10) useful for storing fluids under cold storage conditions.  The closure system includes cap (40) and container components which combine to form a dual sealing system. The container (20) has a generally cylindrical side wall (21), a closed bottom end (24), and an open top end having an inner beveled lip (25) depending from an annular top rim (26). The cap (40) has a generally circular top wall (41) from which inner and outer skirts (44, 42) depend. The outer skirt (42) is adapted to grip the open top end of the container (20). The inner skirt (44) includes an outer surface (48) having a lower seal bead (50) and an upper beveled portion (49) mated with the beveled lip (25). When the cap (40) is fitted onto the container (20), the seal bead (50) contacts an inner surface (22) of the container and the upper beveled portion (49) and the beveled lip (25) are engaged in an interference fit, thereby impeding the loss of fluid from the closure system under cold storage conditions.

IPC: F16F9/24
Filed: 2004-08-09
Granted: 2008-07-08
Abstract: To provide a steering damper device having a desired damping characteristic in which a gradually increasing damping force is generated according to the turned angle when a handle is turned, and the damping force is not generated when the handle is returned using an inexpensive cylindrical damper of a simple structure. A cylindrical damper is disposed between a head pipe for rotatably supporting a steering stem and a fork bridge of a front fork so as to be the shortest when the handle is at a neutral position. The cylindrical damper is connected to the head pipe and the fork bridge via spherical joints. The cylindrical damper generates the damping force when being expanded. Since the cylindrical damper is expanded when the handle is turned either directions, left or right, a damping force is generated.

Title: Method of preparing carpet backing using recycled carpet scrap
Inventor: JENKINES RANDALL C
IPC: D06N3/00
Filed: 2003-10-14
Granted: 2012-05-01
Abstract: Carpet backing is prepared from carpet scrap by first comminuting the carpet scrap into fragments and then melting and fusing the carpet scrap fragments together to render molten fragments. The resulting molten fragments containing synthetic resins are then formed into agglomerates. The pellets are then ground into a fine powder. A slurry may be prepared from the ground powder and a carrier. The ground powder may, alternatively, be mixed with a polyurethane reactive mixture, aqueous polymer containing emulsion or a thermoplastic composition such as bitumen, polypropylene or polyethylene. The resulting polymeric coating is coated onto a substrate. The coated substrate is then hardened.

Title: Screw comprising an integrated screwdriver
Inventor: MATTHYS-MARK ROMANO
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2003-02-12
Granted: 2011-08-23
Abstract: The inventive device consists of a screw (1) comprising an integrated screwdriver (2). The screw (1) has a screw shank (3) with a thread (4), a screw head (5) with a thread (8), and has a longitudinal axis (6). The screwdriver (2) is, via a predetermined breaking point (7), joined to the screw head (5) in a manner that is coaxial to the longitudinal axis (6). When tightening the screw, the integrated screwdriver is sheared off at the predetermined breaking point, whereby the shearing off torque is defined by the selected dimensions of the predetermined breaking point. The inventive screw comprising an integrated screwdriver permits even very small-dimensioned screws to be easily held and to be screwed into the plate boring (13) of a bone plate (12) while being guided well therein at a constant angle. The coaxial disposition of the integrated screwdriver and its fixed connection to the screw head enables the screw (1) to be received in any position around the longitudinal axis, and the position of the screwdriver does not need to be considered.

Title: Combination modes for network connection management
Inventor: ROBERTSON IAN M
IPC: H04W12/00
Filed: 2007-01-25
Granted: 2016-01-12
Abstract: A network connection establishment protocol is made more secure by directly associating a non-discoverable mode with a non-pairable mode in a combined non-discoverable/non-pairable mode. Advantageously, rather that allowing incoming pairing requests even when a device is non-discoverable, the device in the closed mode rejects all pairing requests. Responsive to specific initiation, the device may enter a combined discoverable/pairable mode. The device may be preconfigured to revert from the combined discoverable/pairable mode to the combined non-discoverable/non-pairable mode after a given duration of time or after a predetermined number of pairings.
