Title: Surfaces de cliquage graphique pour applications de retour de force
Inventor: ROSENBERG LOUIS B
IPC: G05G9/047
Filed: 1998-06-16
Granted: 2006-08-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de produire une surface de cliquage dans un environnement graphique, telle qu'une interface graphique utilisateur, installée sur un ordinateur central et destinée à être utilisée dans un dispositif d'interface de retour de force. Un curseur visualisé est commandé par un objet utilisateur pouvant être déplacé par l'utilisateur, telle qu'une souris, du dispositif d'interface. Une surface de cliquage est visualisée avec un objet graphique associé, tel qu'un bouton graphique ou un bord de fenêtre, une icône ou un autre objet. Lorsque le curseur entre en contact avec la surface de cliquage, une force s'opposant au mouvement de l'objet utilisateur est envoyée dans une direction dans ladite surface et dans l'objet graphique. Lorsque l'objet utilisateur s'est déplacé jusqu'à une position de déclenchement ou au-delà de celle-ci, au-delà du contact avec la surface de cliquage, un signal de geste de commande est envoyé à l'ordinateur central, indiquant que l'objet graphique a été sélectionné comme si un dispositif d'entrée physique sur l'objet utilisateur, tel qu'un bouton, avait été activé par l'utilisateur. L'ordinateur central affiche, de préférence, l'environnement graphique comprenant la surface de cliquage et le curseur, alors qu'un microprocesseur local par rapport au dispositif d'interface commande la production de force de la surface de cliquage parallèlement au visuel central.

Abstract: A gas generator of a side impact air bag inflator comprises a propellant chamber (18) having a proximate and distal end and a plurality of apertures (24) radially disposed about said distal end. Upon combustion of propellant within the chamber, longitudinal flow of the resulting gases is created by virtue of the distal end apertures (24).  Longitudinal gas flow through the chamber and then axially opposite through a filter (32) quickens the deployment rate, and improves the filtering and cooling capability of a smaller side impact inflator.

Granted: 2006-08-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a wick clip assembly for candles to be used on a supporting surface, as well as a method for making such assemblies, and candles incorporating the same. According to one embodiment, a wick receiving member is disposed adjacent to the top of a base. A generally open skirt extends downwardly from the base, and is adapted to maintain the base in a predetermined spaced relationship relative to a supporting surface in use. The bottom end of a wick penetrates the base and is securely attached to the wick clip assembly by the wick receiving member such that its bottom end is located above the supporting surface in use. The clip provides enhanced control over heat transfer from the flame to the supporting surface, while optimizing performance of the candle.

Title: Plant-optimized genes encoding pesticidal toxins
Inventor: NARVA KENNETH E
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 1998-11-04
Granted: 2008-01-15
Abstract: The subject invention concerns materials and methods useful in the control of pests and, particularly, plant pests. More specifically, the subject invention provides plant-optimized, polynucleotide sequences that encode pesticidal toxins (full-length and truncated). Truncated polynucleotide sequences can be used to produce truncated toxins or for the production of fusion (or chimeric) genes and proteins.  The polynucleotide sequences of the subject invention have certain modifications, compared to wild-type sequences, that make them particularly well-suited for optimized expression in plants. Using techniques known to those skilled in the art, the polynucleotide sequences described herein can be used to transfer plants in order to confer pest resistance upon said plants. The subject invention further provides plant-optimized, polynucleotide sequences that encode C-terminal, protoxin portions that can be used with genes encoding truncated, core toxins to produce full-length toxins. In addition, the subject invention provides preferred amino acid sequences that are encoded by the plant-optimized polynucleotide sequences disclosed herein.

Abstract: A threaded union highly resistant to overtorque and compression that includes a threaded member in its internal surface -- called female -- that joins a threaded member in its external surface -- called male --. The union between the male extreme and the female is produced through the threaded surface. When the members are fully assembled, one axially oriented surface in the free extreme of one of the members -- called nose -- presses against a corresponding surface in the other member -- called shoulder of torque. This shoulder is comprised of two surfaces, a first one coincidentally oriented to the corresponding nose of the first member, and a second one truncated and conical in shape with an angle B and with the axis of the pipe located between the first surface and the internal cylindrical surface of the female member. This geometry increases the resistance of same to overtorque action, without having to increment the net contact surface between the annular surface axially directed of the nose and the corresponding surface of the shoulder of the second member.

Abstract: A multiple-sided medical device comprises a closed frame of a single piece of wire or other resilient material and having a series of bends and interconnecting sides. The device has both a flat configuration and a second, folded configuration that comprises a self-expanding stent. The stent is pushed from a delivery catheter into the lumen of a duct or vessel. One or more barbs are attached to the frame of the device for anchoring or to connect additional frames. A covering of fabric or other flexible material such as DACRON, PTFE, or collagen, is sutured or attached to the frame to form an occlusion device, a stent graft, or an artificial valve such as for correcting incompetent veins in the lower legs and feet. A partial, triangular-shaped covering over the lumen of the device allows the valve to open with normal blood flow and close to retrograde flow.

Abstract: According to the 3D-CAD system of the present invention, basic graphic elements (PL, LL, SL, VL) are set based on linear, area or volume coordinate parameters, and the plurality of basic graphic elements are continuously connected to generate a basic graphic. The basic graphic elements constituting the generated basic graphic are continuously differentiable even after deformation, thereby generating a desired solid graphic (identical topology graphic). By using these patches for approximately expressing all surfaces, the surfaces are handled consistently, the data quantity describing the graphics is greatly reduced, and the load of operational processing of the computer is reduced. Whether or not an element can be deleted is determined based on a reference counter RC showing whether said element is the component of another element.
