Abstract: A lock for a window includes a lock body mountable on the window frame having a base plate and a raised portion standing upwardly from the base plate. The raised portion is a hollow interior within which a lock handle projects and on which is mounted the lock handle for pivotal action about a pin transverse to the raised portion. The raised portion defines a substantially rectangular flat upper surface parallel to the base plate. The handle portion includes a flat plate acting as a cover for the rectangular upper surface together with a manually graspable arch shaped element projecting beyond the end of the plate portion. Within a recess underneath the arch shaped portion is provided a trigger latch engageable with a web across the hollow interior of the raised portion for latching the handle in a lowered lock position. The lock cooperates with a keeper on the window and holds the window against being forced open without being overcenter. The lock also co-operates with a bar carrying a plurality of spaced lock elements each cooperating with a respective keeper and connects to the bar either with a pivotal link or connects by a disk and socket connection which allow the bar to move along its length while the lock end moves in an arc.

Abstract: On décrit des solutions salées améliorées utiles pour traiter des lentilles de contact. Contrairement aux solutions salées de la technique antérieure destinées à des applications similaires, les présentes solutions ne contiennent pas d'agents antimicrobiens conventionnels qui sont potentiellement toxiques pour les tissus oculaires. A la place de ces agents, les solutions contiennent une combinaison d'un complexe borate-polyol, d'un ou de plusieurs tensioactifs anioniques ou non ioniques et d'un acide aminé à bas poids moléculaire (par exemple la glycine). On a trouvé que cette combinaison protège efficacement les solutions salées contre les contaminations microbiennes, qu'elle est relativement non toxique pour les tissus oculaires et qu'elle est compatible avec les agents oxydants utilisés pour certains systèmes de désinfection de lentilles de contact. Cette combinaison facilite également le nettoyage des lentilles de contact.

Title: Method and system for voice call completion using information retrieved from an open application on a computing machine
Inventor: FRANK ALAN STUART
IPC: H04M11/00
Filed: 1998-12-04
Granted: 2004-02-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus for call completion using information extracted from an active application on a computing machine is described. Call initiation may be accomplished using a "warm-line" feature in which a default number is dialled after a predetermined time of an off-hook condition of a voice terminal, if no digits are dialled after the voice terminal is taken off-hook. The number dialled is a number used to connect the telephone set to computer-Controlled Telephony Integration hardware (CTI). On receipt of the call, the CTI hardware extracts Automatic Number Identification (ANI) information to determine the number of the calling party and verifies that the calling party is the subscriber to the service. If the calling party is the subscriber to the service, a query is sent to an IP address associated with the subscriber to retrieve information from an active application for completing a second leg of the call. The information may be a telephone number, or information which would permit the retrieval of a telephone number such as a name and address or an e-mail address. A directory service may be used to convert the information into a telephone number. Once a telephone number is obtained, the CTI hardware is used to complete the second leg of the call and the two calls are joined together. The advantage is a fast, convenient method of completing calls without dialling digits or manually converting one form of information into a diallable number.

Granted: 2002-12-10
Abstract: A process for providing oxygen to a feed gas wherein the oxygen is first absorbed from an oxygen containing gas (e.g. air) and then desorbed into the  feed gas (e.g. natural gas). The oxygen is adsorbed from air by passing the air in contact with an oxygen-sorbent material (e.g. a solid-state, lithium cyanocobaltate) until the sorbent-material is substantially saturated after which the feed gas is passed in contact with the sorbent material to desorb the oxygen into the feed gas.

Inventor: BRANDT JENS-UWE
IPC: F16J15/32
Filed: 1999-02-23
Granted: 2004-11-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid-conveying machine, in particular, a pump having a component rotating in a stationary housing part inside an annular gap.      The stationary housing part separates an interior having a higher product pressure from an exterior having a lower pressure. A rotating component is mounted in an external bearing which is sealed with respect to the interior via a sealing system. In order to improve the sealing, the invention provides that the annular gap is formed between two sliding bearing shells which comprise extremely hard, wear-resistant materials and, in accordance with the operating principle of a radial sliding bearing, form a first pressure-reducing stage. A feedback device, which feeds back the leakage from this first sealing stage into the conveying process of the machine, is connected downstream of the first pressure-reducing stage. A second sealing stage is arranged axially downstream of the feedback device. The second sealing stage may be constructed as a simple seal, such as a lip seal and/or a simple end face seal.

Title: Board inverter for lumber conveyor
Inventor: MOORE STUART G
IPC: B27B31/04
Filed: 1993-12-20
Granted: 2001-08-28
Abstract: A board inverter for mounting to a lumber conveyor includes one or more arms mounted to a freely rotatable hub, which in turn is mounted to a lumber conveyor. The arms each include a recess set into a trailing edge, for receiving a front side and lower face of a board, whereby forward motion of a conveyed board lodges the board within the inverter and causes the inverter to spin about its axis, thereby rotating the board about its long axis and depositing the board back onto the conveyor. The inverter is associated with an array of lugs, having a generally plow-shaped front face. The lugs are mounted to a conveyor and serve to engage an array of boards and convey them in a transverse orientation along the conveyor. The lugs cooperate with the inverter to rotate boards as the same are conveyed along the conveyor.
