Title: Lockout mechanism for power tool
Inventor: CAMPBELL DAVID C
IPC: H01H3/20
Filed: 2000-06-28
Abstract: A switch lockout mechanism for a power tool (20) includes a handle housing (22) for gripping by a power tool operator. The handle housing (22) is generally elongated in a direction corresponding to the gripping axis of a power tool operator. A switch (36) is attached to the housing (22) and is actuable between an "on" position and an "off" position, A locking member (56) is rotatably or pivotally attached to the housing (22). The locking member (56) is rotatable about an axis that generally extends in the same direction as the handle housing (22) in an elongated direction. The locking member (56) has a first rotatable position wherein the switch (36) is locked in its "off" position, and a second rotatable position wherein the switch (36) is actuated to its "on" position. An actuating member (64) allows a tool operator to move the locking member (56) between its first and second positions.

Title: Toothbrushes.
Inventor: STEWART TIMOTHY NATHANIEL
IPC: A46B11/06
Filed: 2001-02-21
Abstract: A toothbrush including a handle that has a first chamber towards a closed end in which is located a bristled head, and access passageways through the bristled head externally of the bristles. The access passageways communicate with the first chamber. A fluid supply line is provided on or in the side of the first chamber from which extend the bristles of the bristled head. The fluid supply line extends into the bristled head and has at least one outlet sited within the confines of the bristles. In addition, there is an air vent to prevent a build up of vacuum in the mouth of the user, located on the side of the first chamber from which extend the bristles of the bristled head. The air vent terminates at one end in close proximity to the bristles to that side of the bristled head, and terminates at the other end at a distance along the length of the handle to ensure that it cannot be fouled by the mouth of a user.

Title: Plate and method for high throughput screening
Inventor: EVERETT KEITH
IPC: C12N5/04
Filed: 2004-07-10
Abstract: A multiple well plate and method for media exchange, including a body defining a plurality of cell wells each connected via a channel to one of a plurality of aspiration holes, is provided. The cell wells contain a porous, hydrophilic frit which is suspended on a ledge above a reservoir of fluid media and supports a tissue sample. The properties of the frit wick the fluid media upwards to supply the tissue sample with nutrients for growth and proliferation. Old media is aspirated from the wells by a liquid handling device which inserts a pipette tip into the aspiration holes. The pipette tip applies a suction pressure which draws the media out of the cell well, through the channel, into the aspiration hole and out through the pipette tip. New media is dispersed through the pipette tip and directly into the cell well.

Title: Method of determining the condition of rope having a ferromagnetic element providing an indication of local strain
Inventor: STUCKY PAUL A
IPC: D02G3/04
Filed: 2005-10-25
Abstract: An elevator load bearing assembly, such as a polymer cord, reinforced belt, includes at least one element of a ferromagnetic material associated with each cord that comprises one or more non-ferromagnetic materials. The ferromagnetic element is associated with the cord such that a physical characteristic of the ferromagnetic element changes responsive to strain on the non-ferromagnetic fibers. In one example, the ferromagnetic element is a steel wire that breaks in areas that are strained, caused by bending fatigue, for example. Detecting a number of changes (i.e., breaks) in the ferromagnetic element along the length of the load bearing assembly provides an indication of the belt condition.
Patent HK-1079393-A1 (HK)
Title: Electronic dimming ballast for compact fluorescentlamps
Inventor: ARAKKAL JECKO J
IPC: H05B/
Filed: 2005-11-24
Abstract: The operating frequency of a ballast is sufficiently far from resonance that, when a compact fluorescent lamp is dimmed to about one percent light output level, the ballast is operating with an open loop gain below a predetermined level, such as, for example, 15, and is operating with an output impedance greater than a predetermined level, such as, for example, the absolute value of the maximum negative incremental impedance of the lamp, and more preferably, greater than twice the absolute value of the maximum negative incremental impedance of the lamp. By changing the frequency to 85 kHz from 80 kHz, for example, the gain is maintained about the same whether the light output is at five percent or one percent, for example. This provides a stable control loop. In this manner, compact fluorescent lamps can be dimmed below about one percent light output, without dropping out and without observable flicker.

Patent IE-20090412-A1 (IE)
Title: A reflective optical transmitter
Inventor: TOWNSEND PAUL DAVID
IPC: H04B10/2587
Filed: 2009-05-27
Abstract: A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is used in a double pass configuration with one of the output ports followed by an attenuator, which is followed by a modulator with a reflective facet.  The variable loss between the SOA and the modulator is optimised, so that the SOA can be operated in a highly saturated regime without distorting the modulated signal. The SOA is firstly saturated by the input carrier, (21) in Fig. 2, which has a constant power and hence does not introduce patterning of the SOA gain.  On the contrary the saturation induced by the carrier creates a clamping effect that prevents patterning for signals with input power comparable with or less than the input optical carrier power.  The optical carrier amplified by the SOA (22) then travels through the attenuator section and it is attenuated (23).  The carrier (23) then enters the modulator section where it is modulated with the data signal (24).  After being reflected by the high reflectivity facet the modulated signal (25) propagates again through the modulator section.  If the modulator section length is short compared to the modulation bit rate, the double passing increases the modulation depth or extinction ratio without introducing distortion.  The modulated signal (26) travels a second time through the attenuator and then enters the SOA (27).
