Inventor: SPECHT PAUL B
IPC: A47L13/252
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: Disclosed is a cleaning implement in the form of a sleeve-type self-wringing mop. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cleaning implement includes a shaft, a mop of a liquid absorbent material disposed at one end, and a wringer. The wringer includes a wringing sleeve that comprises a handle that is rotatable relative to the sleeve over at least a portion of the axial range of travel of the sleeve, and at least one volute. The volute has a generally helicoid surface that cooperates with a drive that is fixed with respect to the shaft, the volute and drive cooperating in the manner of a cam and cam follower. A user may advance the wringer upon grasping the handle and axially translating the handle relative to the shaft. The camming interaction between the volute and drive causes rotation of the wringing sleeve relative to the shaft to cause liquid to be expelled from the mop.

Title: Highly available particulate controlled release nitrogen fertilizer
Inventor: MOORE WILLIAM P
IPC: B01J2/00
Filed: 1999-08-05
Abstract: A method of preparing controlled release nitrogen in particulate fertilizers  which exhibit single growing season availabilities to plants of about 80 percent or higher. The method utilizes relatively low urea and ammonia to formaldehyde mol ratios of about 1.7 urea to 0.1 ammonia to 1 formaldehyde t o assure high conversions to controlled release nitrogen with low free ureas, and carefully controlled elevated temperatures, acid dehydration condensatio n catalyst concentrations and short dehydration reaction times of about 2-4 minutes to provide effective conversion of hydroxymethyl nitrogen compounds by dehydration condensation reaction to controlled release methylene nitrogen compounds. Quick neutralization of the dehydration catalyst in a turbulent mixing reactor minimizes the formation of undesirable methylene nitrogen polymers which are hot water insoluble and unavailable to plants in a single  growing season. New controlled release fertilizer compositions are provided which exhibit combinations of high conversions of nitrogen to controlled release nitrogen, and high controlled release nitrogen efficiencies.

Title: Teleconference system and method permitting pre-registration
Inventor: BALAZ JOSEPH V
IPC: H04M3/38
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: A teleconference system and method permitting teleconference pre-registration is disclosed. Tree system includes a configuration tool, a pre-registration system, and, preferably, an audio bridge. The configuration tool is initially used by a conference organizer to configure the pre-registration system to pre-register intended teleconference participants in accordance with a conference-specific scheme. Pre-registration may be configured to be operative during a selected time period. The pre-registration system receives calls from intended conference participants during the selected time period and pre-registers callers for the scheduled conference. During pre-registration, information is gathered from the participant in accordance with the organizer's instructions. A unique personal identifier may also be assigned to each caller by the pre-registration system. At the conclusion of pre-registration, intended participation in the scheduled conference can be ascertained by noting which intended participants have pre-registered for the scheduled conference. At the time of the scheduled conference, pre-registered parties call the audio bridge to be connected to the scheduled conference. Entry of assigned personal identifiers (if any) may serve to identify the conference to which the caller should be connected, or to provide an indication of conference attendance.

Title: Method and system for facilitating telecommunications service provisioning and service assurance
Inventor: DOHERTY ALAN G
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2001-06-05
Abstract: An automated system coordinates, controls and polices installation of customer premise equipment (CPE) for telecommunications services and provides continuing service assurance. The system verifies equipment availability on service request, schedules a qualified technician to install the CPE, and assigns distribution equipment resources to the CPE. The system notifies the technician of the installation date. The equipment resources are auto-assigned to the CPE to facilitate installation procedures. The system also auto-detects installation of the CPE and auto-enables service when the  CPE is installed. Customer record creation and maintenance is automatic, and installation or operation of unauthorized equipment is inhibited. Post-installation monitoring and automatic scheduling of repair for system or equipment faults ensures continuing service assurance. The advantage is reduced service delivery time, reduced operations costs and increased customer satisfaction.
