Title: Tap wherein retraction of the spindle disengages threads prior to contact of abutment portions
Inventor: MILLER IAN ALLAN
IPC: F16K1/04
Filed: 1999-09-28
Abstract: The specification describes a tap.  The tap has a hollow body and a mounting spigot (2) The spigot has a sealing O-ring between the tap body or shroud and the tap seat.  A spindle (7) located within the tap body has a valve carrier (8) at the lower end and into which the O-ring is received.  The opposite end of the spindle is ultimately connected to the handle of the tap.  The O-ring (10) travels with the spindle up a down a smooth bore (17).  A locking Collar (12) with opposed legs (13,14) snap engages the tap body.  The legs of the locking collar include cam wedges (23) which snap lock into rectangular openings (25) of the tap body.  In order to prevent rotation of the spindle an outer peripheral lip (27) on the spindle engages with the distal ends of the legs (13) to limit the movement of the spindle in the tap opening direction so as not to remove, inadvertently, the tap body from the spindle.

Title: Remote tokenless authentication of transactions with biometric identifiers
Inventor: SCHOLZ KURT LAURENCE
IPC: G06K19/067
Filed: 2000-02-16
Abstract: Multiple organizations store account information relating to financial accounts in machine-readable form, and identity information relating to each account and including machine readable information corresponding to a unique biological identifier (fingerprint) supplied by the individual authorized to access an account is stored in a database.  The user submits at the terminal, a fingerprint scan, a transaction request, and a machine-readable card carrying information sufficient to identify only the organization storing the user's unique biological identifier, and no other information about the account, and this information is transmitted to a clearing house where a comparison is made between the information from the fingerprint scan and the stored fingerprint information.  If a fingerprint match is established then the transaction information is compared with the account to which the fingerprint information relates to determine if a requested transaction is allowable, and if so the transaction is processed.  The user and system are afforded the security of identifying the user by a biological token and the user is afforded the security and convenience of accessing the account using a card that does not actually contain any information about the account except the identity of the account organization.

Title: Water driven waste disposal apparatus with adjustable valve for use with varying water pressures
Inventor: SULLIVAN DONALD J
IPC: B02C18/24
Filed: 1999-07-16
Abstract: A water powered waste disposal apparatus has an adjustable valve with adjustable operating pressure requirements. The disposal apparatus has a plurality of cutters disposed in a passageway for cutting waste. A reciprocating piston is driven by pressurized water in an annular chamber. The piston is coupled to at least one rotatable cutter. The valve has a reciprocating control piston for selectively diverting the pressurized water into the annular chamber on alternate sides of the drive piston. A reciprocating pilot piston selectively conveys the pressurized water to alternate sides of the control piston in response to water pressure in the annular chamber. A detent and spring apply an amount of resistance to the pilot piston such that water pressure in the annular chamber must reach a certain threshold pressure to overcome the resistance of the detent and spring. An adjustment mechanism has a threaded member engaging the spring to adjust the amount of resistance applied by the detent to the pilot piston as the threaded member is advanced and retracted.
