Title: Joining of textured sheet materials
Inventor: MACKELVIE WINSTON
IPC: B21D39/03
Filed: 2013-11-18
Abstract: A method is provided for joining textured sheet materials. Complementary edges of two sheets of textured sheet material are aligned in an adjacent fashion. A joining element is positioned along at least a portion of the textured surfaces of the two sheets so as to cover at least a portion of the exposed piercing elements and so as to at least partially bridge the gap between the edges of the two pieces. By rolling or pressing on the joining element to force the piercing elements of the textured surfaces into the joining element, the joining element thus connects the two sheets to form a joint. The method can also be used with laminated sheets or to form a laminate after the sheets are joined. A kit for joining is also provided. A method for joining continuously-fed textured sheet material is also provided.

Inventor: MARC MICHEL
IPC: A61N1/00
Filed: 2012-05-08
Abstract: An apparatus and method for heating a treatment region of a subject via the application of an alternating electric field is disclosed. The method includes positioning a treatment region of a subject between a first electrode and a second electrode sized to extend across the treatment region. The first and second electrodes are connected to a generator operable to apply an alternating electric field between the electrodes at a frequency in the range of 1 MHz to 100 MHz. The method also includes activating the generator to apply the alternating electric field between the first and second electrodes and across the treatment region. The alternating electric field causes movement of polar molecules in the treatment region whereby friction resulting from this molecular movement translates into heat throughout the treatment region to thereby selectively heat a biological target of the subject.

Title: Methods for managing power consumption for a hands-free dispenser
Inventor: WEGELIN JACKSON W
IPC: A47K5/12
Filed: 2012-09-28
Abstract: Methods for managing power consumption of a battery-powered device such as a fluid dispenser are disclosed. One method includes setting a duty cycle of a sensor used by the device to a first range (52) and starting a timer (56) upon detection (54) of a user by a triggering event and setting said duty cycle to a second range (60). The method continues by checking for another triggering event (62) with said duty cycle set to said second range. The checking step is repeated if the timer has not lapsed (64, NO), but if the timer has lapsed (64, YES) the process returns to the step (52) setting the duty cycle to said first range. Related methods may be used to adjust the duty cycle based upon a detected characteristic such as light, sound, motion or time.
