Patent number: 8151678Abstract: A board shaped mandolin slicer includes a folding leg for stability in an angled orientation, and a “dead mans handle” for to enable exposure of the blade and adjustable thickness slicing only upon actuation of the handle. In addition, a spring resist in the handle is used in conjunction with a mechanical position guide limiting switch and angled cam which allows the user to better control the degree to which a platform move forward to expose the front of a main blade, to thus adjust the thickness of the slices uniformly. An additional child safety feature includes a pair of buttons on either side of the housing which need to be urged inwardly at the same time to unlock the mandolin slicer.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2009Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Daka Research Inc. (Br. Virg. Isl Corp.)Inventors: Pat Y. Mah, Alexander Joshef Kalogroulis, Kwong Keung Tung, Michael Ng

Patent number: 7635101Abstract: A battery powered, automatic feed, disc type grater with a storage cover, interchangeable discs and waterproof motor gives users the ability for one touch operation and extended refrigerator storage and tap water cleaning of the components of the grater. A storage cap/container provides extended storage capability, while a ring stand enables the grater to be operated with the touch of a button while the grater is suspended over an area into which grated material may fall. A pusher assembly provides constant and automatic pressure on a material to be grated and against a grater disk, and a divider sleeve derives turning resistance for material to be grated from the pusher assembly while protecting the holder from contact with the material to be grated.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2008Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Daka Research Inc. (Br. Virg.Isl Corp.), Offshore IncorporationsInventors: Pat Y. Mah, Alexander Joseph Kalogroulis

Patent number: 7574808Abstract: There is provided a mechanism for use in a can opener comprising a body; rotationally mounting to the body about a first axis, a drive wheel for engaging the rim of the can; rotationally mounting to the body about a second axis and drivably rotatable by the drive wheel, a cutter wheel; eccentrically mounting to the cutter wheel, a cutting knife movable on rotation of the cutter wheel to a cutting position in which the cutting knife forms a nip with the drive wheel such that the cutting knife penetrates through the cylindrical wall of the can, and in which an electrical sensor can be used to reverse the position of the cutting wheel back to a start position and in which a mechanical sensor can be used in conjunction with a locking bar to advance the cutting wheel back to a start position.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Daka Research Inc. (Br. Virg. Isl Corp.)Inventors: Pat Y. Mah, Mark Andrew Sanders

Patent number: 7533838Abstract: A spice mill uses one touch button control and a common driven shaft to operate a pair of oppositely disposed grinding mills simultaneously. In environments which are more sophisticated and formal, the users will know which spice will be dispensed through the slightly smaller end and which spice will be dispensed through the slightly larger end, and without having to label the dispenser. In addition, the one touch button is large and easily accessible by almost any finger of the hand used to hold the center section.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2007Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: Daka Research Inc. (Br. Virg.Isl Corp.)Inventors: Alexander Joseph Kalogroulis, Matthew Edward White

Patent number: 7439633Abstract: A switching mode power supply uses two power source inputs, an alternating current input and a direct current input. A pulse width modulation controller is used to control current from two primary windings of a transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a rectified direct current output. From the direct current output a current/voltage comparator receives a signal across a sensing resistor and through an inverter and in parallel with respect to the direct current output. The current/voltage comparator may communicate through an opto coupler/isolator and then to a pulse width modulation controller. Instructions are received about the voltage and current necessary to be supplied by the direct current output of the power supply from an internal, circuit board mounted selecting network. The selecting network can be resistive, digital, fiber optical, black and white, or color.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Daka Research Inc. (Br. Virg.

Patent number: 7398714Abstract: A hand held, one touch jar opener can be placed on a jar and activated with a momentary touch of a button. An epicyclic gear train is set to sequentially provide a grip on a jar, and on a lid, followed by development of torque needed to move the lid in a counterclockwise direction with respect to the jar. The principles embodied in the opener shown can be realized in an opener which can be manually powered, or preferably motorized and possibly highly automated. A differential geartrain provides reduction of speed and increase in torque and then provides two balanced and opposing forces through the epicyclic gear assembly having sun and planet gears. This configuration enables a wide variety of screw-on lids and jars to be automatically closed to match the correct diameters, apply a gripping force and then apply torque in an opposing direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2007Date of Patent: July 15, 2008Assignee: Daka Research Inc.

Patent number: 7226162Abstract: An audio lanyard audio device provides a number of advantages not seen with earlier devices, including, (1) a pair of soft openings to accept the ear pieces of conventional eyewear in a manner that supports and engages several inches of the ear pieces of conventional eyewear with sufficient surface area and friction to hold the conventional eyewear securely, (2) provision of a length of softer foam material for fitting both the lanyard and convention eyewear ear pieces between the ear and head, (3) formation of a balanced combination when worn with conventional eyewear, and (4) the location of the controls and main electronics and battery at the rear for balance and easy reach by a user.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2005Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Daka Research Inc.
