Inventor: MENKE JAMES
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 2006-06-22
Abstract: An apparatus and method for aiding a person to conduct self-examination of the skin in a mirror has a light source emanating light that impinges upon the skin of the person, causing light to be reflected from the skin and causing the skin to emit light, the reflected and emitted light impinging on the mirror and further reflecting from the mirror to the eye of the person. A pair of goggles worn by the person has lenses that are light filters and/or polarizers. The light source may be in the form of a flashlight which has filters and/or polarizers disposed over the output. The lenses and polarizer are preferably removable and the polarizer may be rotatable to provide various illuminating light combinations. The image reviewed by the person as a consequence of the lenses in the goggles and over the flashlight are enhanced for viewing features of the skin depending upon the combination of lenses, filters, polarizers and their respective relative orientations.

Title: Thread protector for use on pin end of oilfield tubulars
Inventor: ELKINS JOHNNY FIRMIN
IPC: F16L57/06
Filed: 2004-10-19
Abstract: A cylindrical ring size to slide over the boy end of an oilfield tubular having a given external diameter, has a shoulder at one its ends and a sidewall along its length. The sidewall has a circumferential groove about its interior surface housing a band which can be made tight against the exterior surface of the oilfield tubular by a latch, or other latch means accessible through a slot in the sidewall, and which becomes even tighter if the tubular attempts to escape from the band. In a first orientation, the cylindrical ring is used as a load ring. By turning the cylindrical ring upside down, the cylindrical ring is used as a thread protector for the pin end or the tubular.

IPC: B65D47/08
Filed: 2005-03-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a closure for a container that holds a free-flowing product. Said container is characterised by: a fixed lower part (12), which can be fastened to a container neck that surrounds a container opening in order to seal said neck and a cover (18) comprising a protruding connecting piece (20) that forms a passage (22) for the free-flowing product; a displaceable upper part (14), which can be coaxially displaced on the lower part (12) in and against the direction of the container, between an outer resting position and an inner actuating position; a beaker or dish-shaped diaphragm valve (42), which has a base consisting at least of a flexible elastic material and whose upper edge seals the underside of the upper part (14); perforations in the base of the diaphragm valve (42), which are closed in the resting position of the upper part (14); and a diameter of the base that is greater than the inner cross-section of the connecting piece (20). The outer end of the connecting piece (20) continuously supports the base of the diaphragm valve (42) and the latter (42) continuously pre-tensions the upper part (14) in the direction of its outer resting position, in such a way that when axial pressure is exerted on the upper part (14) in the direction of the container, the diaphragm valve (42) is bent outwards, thus opening the perforations in the base.

Title: Early auto-on mobile communications device
Inventor: EMERY JEFF
IPC: H04M1/72451
Filed: 2006-09-06
Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for starting a mobile communications device are disclosed. The mobile communications device is operated by a device user. The device includes an output device for emitting a sensible signal.      An input device receives user input from the device user. An alarm application receives an input time and date through the input device and determines an adjusted time and date. The adjusted time and date comprises the input time and date minus a predicted boot time for the device. The alarm application also causes the output device to emit the sensible signal at the input time and date. A system timer component monitors a current time and date when the device is in a low-power or off state and initiates a boot process when the current time and date match the adjusted time and date. The boot process is completed prior to the input time and date to enable the alarm application to cause emission of the sensible signal at the input time and date.

Title: Systeme electomic mobile

IPC: H02K7/18
Filed: 2006-10-20
Abstract: Une batterie assez puissante est utilisée pour démarrer temporairement un moteur électrique ordinaire muni d'un engrenage approprié pour faire tourner une génératrice du style d'une éolienne. Aussitôt que la génératrice atteint sa roulée de croisière celle-ci prend la relève de la batterie et fournie l'électricité que ce moteur a besoin pour rouler et continuer à alimenter cette même génératrice. Bien entendu que le ratio de la transmission donne un rendement pour utiliser une génératrice fournissant 4, 5 fois et plus d'électricité que le moteur d'appoint a besoin. Pour que cette génératrice avec le supplément d'énergie qu'elle produit puisse alimenter un autre moteur électrique approprié et aussi muni d'une transmission multiplicatrice. Cette fois c'est pour faire rouler n'importe quelle : Véhicule terrestre,aquatique,aérien, spatial, éolienne, central électrique mobile,Moteur industriel et bien d'autre concept. Ce qui existe présentement est négatif. Par exemple. 1.- Ce qui s'apparente : Consomme un produit toxique et dangereux. 2.- Empoisonne notre environnement. 3.- Le combustible est un poids additionnel à toutes véhicule. 4.- Faux arrêter pour s'approvisionner en carburant. 5.- Toute produit coûte de l'argent. 6.- Fait plus de bruit que l'électricité propre. 7.- Moins de chance de prendre feux que le combustible. Maintenant le côté positif ; Facile et simple : Tout est gratuit, le temps et la distance n'a plus aucune importance. Il n'y a rien sur le marcher ou en prévision de l'être car à l'intérieur des bureaux de brevets de différents pays je n'ai rien vu qui s'approche de ses idées. Je croix que de toute façon nous aurions eu des échos.

Abstract: A telephone line interface and side-tone attenuation circuit includes two opto-electric converters. The first has an input interconnected to receive a signal proportional to a near-end signal, and an output interconnected to modulate a current proportional to the near-end signal onto the subscriber loop. The second has its input interconnected to provide a signal proportional to a current on the subscriber loop, including the current proportional to the near-end signal, at its output. A summing amplifier receives signals proportional to the output voltage of the second opto-electric converter and a signal proportional to the near-end signal.

Title: Apparatus and method using compressed codes for scheduling broadcast information recording
Inventor: KWOH DANIEL S
IPC: H04N5/761
Filed: 1992-12-11
Abstract: Digital compressed codes, associated with advertisements enable a user to selectively record additional information, which would be broadcast on a television channel at a later time. The advertisement could be print advertisement or broadcast advertisement on television or radio. The user enters the digital code (I code) (652) associated with an advertisement into a unit with a decoding means (14) which automatically converts the code into CTL (Channel, time and length). The unit within a twenty-four-hour-period activates a VCR (14) to record information on the television channel (18) at the right time for the proper length of time. The decoded channel, time and length information can be communicated directly to a VCR (14), and used by the VCR (14) directly to automatically activate the VCR (14) to record a given television information broadcast corresponding to the communicated channel, time and length. Alternately, the channel, time and length information can be decoded directly in a remote control unit (80) and only start record, stop record and channel selection commands (16) sent to the VCR (14) at the appropriate times. Algorithms for decoding the I codes (652) can be a function of time to ensure security of the decoding method. A method is included for use of the I codes (652) with cable channels.
