IPC: A47L5/30
Filed: 2002-06-20
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner system incorporating a closed loop airflow recirculation path for cooling a beater brush motor. A portion of clean, exhaust airflow created by a fan is diverted away from an exhaust port of the housing and directed into a flow path running alongside a portion of the housing. The airflow is used to pressurize a compartment within which a beater brush motor is disposed. A low pressure area created by the fan is used to assist in drawing the cooling exhaust airflow through the compartment, to thus form a closed loop cooling air recirculation system using only clean filtered exhaust airflow to maintain the beater brush motor cool during use.

Title: Compositions et methodes permettant de blanchir et de desensibiliser les dents
Inventor: JENSEN STEVEN D
IPC: A61K6/90
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne une composition et des méthodes qui comprennent un agent de blanchiment des dents et du nitrate de potassium afin de stimuler le blanchiment et de réduire la sensibilité des dents. Le nitrate de potassium renforce la blancheur des dents, une fois l'effet de l'agent de blanchiment passé, et diminue ou élimine la sensibilité des dents que provoque d'habitude l'agent de blanchiment. Pour un traitement prolongé des dents, on a découvert que des faibles quantités de nitrate de potassium (par exemple, 0,5 %), sont plus efficaces que des grandes quantités (par exemple, 3 %). Ces compositions dentaires (40) peuvent soit être appliquées directement sur les dents, soit être chargées dans un plateau dentaire, souple et adapté, à parois minces (50), lequel est placé contre les dents. Dans ce cas, les compositions dentaires (40) contiennent un agent gluant, tel que du carboxypolyméthylène, qui aide la composition à maintenir le plateau dentaire (50) sur les dents, sous l'effet des propriétés adhésives de la composition dentaire (40) au lieu du verrouillage mécanique du plateau (50) sur les dents. Ces compositions dentaires peuvent également comporter des agents anticarieux et antimicrobiens.

Title: Digital thermometer for measuring body temperature
Inventor: LUSSIER SHERIN B
IPC: A61B5/01
Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: A digital thermometer with enhanced conformity to the anatomy, such as in and around the mouth of a human being. A non-linear probe has a temperature sensor at a first end adapted to be inserted into the mouth and under the tongue, and a downwardly disposed housing portion at the second end. An intermediate portion of the probe is shaped to rest on the lower lip and/or teeth. The probe can be rotatably or pivotally attached to the housing to protect the probe by being recessed in the housing when not in use and/or to adjust to any size mouth. A plurality of ribs at the intermediate portion of the probe can be included to contact the lips and/or teeth for greater positional stability of the thermometer.

Inventor: DYKHOFF MICHAEL G
IPC: A62C2/06
Filed: 2001-03-05
Abstract: A fire stopping device includes a containment shell (4) with a heat rupturable element (6) and an intumescent filler material (10) arranged in the containment shell. The containment shell is formed of a fire resistant material capable of containing the intumescent material after the rupturable element fails. In addition, the heat rupturable element is designed to fail at a force which is lower than the intumescent filler material expansion force. In this manner, when the intumescent filler material reaches its activation temperature, it expands with a force greater than the strength of the rupture element, thereby causing the rupture element to fail. Thus, expansion of the intumescent filler material takes place in a controlled manner via the rupture element.
