  • Patent number: 6884091
    Abstract: A first embodiment of electrical connector assembly establishing direct power to a plug-in module which utilizes a female connector that is electrically connected to a pair of spaced apart buss bars. The female connector is mounted in a fixed position in conjunction with a backplane. A male connector, which has a pair of male pins, is electrically connected to the female connector with this male connector to then be electrically connected to a plug-in module. A second embodiment of electrical connector assembly is for establishing a direct power supply to a mezzanine printed circuit board which is mounted parallel to but spaced from the plug-in module. The second embodiment of electrical connector assembly also utilizes a female connector that is connected to a pair of spaced apart buss bars.

  • Patent number: 6832796
    Abstract: A pet litter collection bag and spatula which comprises a flexible walled bag which has a closed end and an open end. At the closed end is mounted a spatula with a graspable handle of the spatula extending within the confines of the internal compartment of the bag. The spatula is thin and bendable so as to be manually deformable to accommodate to the shape of the terrain on which it is being used to scoop up the pet litter. Once the pet litter is located on the spatula, the bag is reversed in position enclosing the front portion of the spatula with the open end of the bag to be tied to a closing position.

  • Patent number: 6821419
    Abstract: A diffusion cell to facilitate the automatic or manual removal of test aliquots of liquid from a receptor chamber of the diffusion cell so as to determine percantaneous absorption through a membrane of a substance from a donor chamber into a receptor chamber of the diffusion cell. There is utilized a capillary port through which the test aliquot is to be removed. A refilling tube connects also with the receptor chamber to add receptor liquid into the receptor chamber as the test aliquot is being removed. A quick release clamping apparatus secures the donor housing which contains the donor chamber tightly to the main housing of the diffusion cell.

  • Patent number: 6820365
    Abstract: An artificial fishing lure which has a pair of interconnected tumblers. The tumblers are to rotate when the fishing lure is moved through water which is to be an attractant to a fish to induce striking of the lure. By the interconnecting of the tumblers, the tumblers are always rotated at the same speed but in opposite directions thereby balancing the movement of the tumblers on the lure assuring that the lure always moves in an upright position through the water and does not turn over which would twist the fishing line to which the lure is attached.

  • Patent number: 6802360
    Abstract: A floating heat exchanger for pond liquid and a method of evaporating water from the pond liquid that utilizes a mass of pipes that are floated at or just below the surface of the pond liquid with one end of the pipes being connected to an inlet manifold and the opposite end of the pipes connected to an outlet manifold. The pipes and manifolds are part of a heated closed loop heat transfer fluid system. The pond liquid is raised in temperature which facilitates the evaporation of water and the concentration of dissolved or suspended solids within the pond liquid.
