Title: Coupling assembly with retention mechanism
Inventor: MCCORD JAMES D
IPC: F16B39/34
Filed: 2004-07-05
Granted: 2011-09-20
Abstract: A coupling assembly includes a female fitting assembly comprising a tube body having a nut that is axially and rotatably movable relative to the tube body, and a generally U-shape spring fixedly connected to the nut. The spring has a pair of laterally spaced arms that straddle the tube body when the nut is inserted over the tube body and spring arm end portions that are engageable with serrations on opposite sides of the tube body. The spring arm end portions are shaped to provide more resistance to turning of the nut in the loosening/back-off direction when the nut is fully torqued on a male fitting assembly than during tightening of the nut on the male fitting assembly.

Title: Systems and methods for user identification, user demographic reporting and collecting usage data
Inventor: ABRAHAM MAGID
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2003-02-05
Granted: 2012-10-02
Abstract: Several ways of identifying users and collecting demographic information and market information are disclosed, including branding a browser with a unique identification in each user request, identifying a user by his key strokes or mouse clicks, gathering demographic information using multiple data sets and by monitoring network traffic. Additionally, user requested content is distinguished from other, non-user content, and the performance of a server can be monitored and analyzed from a client perspective. Further, an Internet user's Internet data is routed to a known domain on the Internet, from which it is routed on to the intended recipient. The domain includes proxy servers which proxy the user's data requests to the domain, and database servers, which filter and build a database of the user's Internet usage. Particular data concerning certain behaviors of interest, such as purchasing data, is filtered into the database, and can form the basis for numerous market measures.

Inventor: SHIEH SHIUH-HA
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 2004-11-10
Granted: 2008-08-26
Abstract: A vehicle occupancy sensing system provides a mechanism for determining whether a child is present in a vehicle. The sensing system may determine that an occupied front or rear facing child seat is present in an automobile, for example. To that end, the sensing system may employ a reliable electrode sensing system that may be conveniently installed in one or more locations in the vehicle seats. The sensing system thereby helps reduce occurrences of the potentially devastating consequences of unintentionally leaving a child in a vehicle.

Title: Retractable writing instrument
Inventor: BRAND DOUGLAS A
IPC: F16K15/14
Filed: 2003-12-10
Granted: 2011-06-07
Abstract: A writing utensil configurable between retracted and extended configurations is provided. The writing utensil includes a body having an interior volume and an aperture. A reciprocally movable nib assembly is located in the body and includes a nib that, when in the extended configuration, traverses the aperture. To prevent the nib from drying when in the retracted configuration, a sealing element seals the aperture. In an embodiment, the sealing element is a resilient valve element that can be opened by a sleeve slidably engaging the nib assembly. After the sleeve opens the valve, the sleeve slides with respect to the nib assembly to expose the nib. In another embodiment, the sealing element can be a sliding door that is attached to the nib assembly and overlays the aperture. When the nib assembly is moved to the extended configuration, the sliding door slides in a manner that opens the aperture.

Abstract: A bundle puller (110) having an adjustable length carriage frame (102,104) is disclosed. The carriage frame includes a hinged section (106) that can be rotated between a level or lowered position and a raised position. When the hinged section is raised, the length of the carriage frame is decreased considerably, which allows the bundle puller to be operated in narrow alleyways. The hinged section may then be lowered for operating in larger alleyways. A  hydraulic cylinder (124) lowers and raises the hinged section. A rack-and-pinion drive system (154a,154b) is used instead of the more common screw system to move the sled (144) back and forth on the carriage frame while removing or replacing tube bundles in the heat exchanger shell. Separate gear racks (150a, 150b) are attached to the hinged section and main section of the carriage frame, respectively. The separate gear racks can be raised and lowered with the hinged section.

Abstract: An external-cavity tuneable laser includes a gain medium and a tuneable mirror.  At least the tuneable mirror is in thermal contact, with a thermally conductive platform and lays substantially horizontally thereon. The laser beam from the gain medium is directed onto the tuneable mirror, which is mounted substantially horizontally with respect to the thermally conductive platform, by a deflector that deflects the beam or a large part of it towards one of the principal surfaces of the mirror. The resulting laser cavity is therefore a folded cavity. The thermally conductive platform is preferably thermally coupled to a TEC that provides thermal control for the platform. In a preferred embodiment, the deflector is a beam splitter that deflects part of the incoming light and transmits the remaining part. The portion of light transmitted through the beam splitter may form the output laser beam.
