  • Publication number: 20120265108
    Abstract: An exothermic natural massage shell includes a natural bivalve shell comprising a first half and a second half adhered together with an adhesive to form a hollow chamber. An aperture is formed in the first half to provide a portal to the hollow chamber of the bivalve shell. A reactant is disposed inside the hollow chamber of the bivalve shell. The reactant may be a reactive powder mixture disposed inside a fluid-permeable pouch. Combining the reactant with an activator inside the hollow chamber of the bivalve shell causes an exothermic reaction that heats the bivalve shell and maintains the bivalve shell at a substantially constant elevated temperature for a duration of time. The adhesive adhering the first shell half to the second shell half includes a first elastomeric polymer bonding agent with balanced coefficient of expansion properties and a second flexible resin sealant that makes the adhesive moisture-proof.

  • Patent number: 6729977
    Abstract: A golf tee with tactile height adjustment includes a cup formed to receive and retain a golf ball. From the underside of the cup, a continuously threaded shaft extends and is formed with a longitudinal flat portion. A stop is formed with a threaded bore having threads complementary to those threads formed on the threaded shaft. Extending outward from the flat portions of the shaft are tactile engagement posts formed to engage the threads of the threaded stop as it threads along the threaded shaft. The engagement posts provide for the self cleaning of the threads of the golf tee, and also provides a tactile response including a distinct resistance to rotation of the threaded stop when the stop contacts the tactile posts. More specifically, when the threaded stop is positioned on the shaft adjacent a engagement post, the rotation of the stop is more difficult than rotation at a position on the shaft having no engagement post.

  • Patent number: 6728419
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for multi-threaded, multitasking processing of image data includes inputting a plurality of image data portions representing one or more images to be processed and putting the first portion of the image data in a memory storage portion. The memory storage portions may be called queues, stacks, address spaces, registers, files, arrays and buffers. While receiving a second portion of the image data, a first portion of the image data is analyzed for the need to be modified by one or more processing methods. Then the image data is modified as necessary by the one or more processing methods while possibly receiving additional image data, and analyzing the second portion of the image data for the need to be modified by the one or more processing methods.

  • Patent number: 6697091
    Abstract: Because an original document is often incorrectly loaded into an image capture device, the resulting captured image is often upside down, rotated 90°, or cut off. This occurs even though image capture devices have markings that indicate how the original documents are to be put into the scanner, markings that are often ignored when the original documents are loaded into the image capture device. Input orientation systems, methods and graphical user interfaces provide graphical document orientation indicators, or “input document mimics”, that provides visual indications to the user of the orientation of the original document to be captured and of the image on the original document, that will result in the desired orientation of the captured image being obtained.

  • Publication number: 20040004052
    Abstract: A shelf, basket and drawer liner for wire-frame constructions includes a flexible plastic panel which can be rolled for storage or sale and unrolled onto wire racks or shelves or into wire-framed baskets or drawers. It is easily trimmed with scissors or torn along score lines to fit any surface. The material is sufficiently thick enough to support object placed on top of the liner and to prevent deflection that results in objects tilting, tipping or falling through the spaces between the wires. It attaches to the wire frame in a unique manner, and is clear to allow objects to be viewed through the liner.

  • Patent number: 6587221
    Abstract: A scanning device comprises a controller that determines a resolution of an output image, for example the native resolution of a printer. The controller also determines a resolution of an input image based on the resolution of the output image, s that the definition of the input image is equal to the definition of the output image. The controller then controls the resolution of a scanner according to the resolution of the input image.

  • Patent number: 6116780
    Abstract: A disposable toilet receptacle includes a bag and a funnel made of a sheet-like liquid-impermeable material, such as plastic film. The plastic film of which the bag is made may be a vapor barrier film. The top edge of the bag has a closure. The tapering body of the funnel is connected to the interior of the bag along a line extending between the side edges of the bag that defines a boundary between an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The portion of the funnel having the wide opening or inlet is disposed in the upper chamber, and the portion of the funnel having the narrower opening or outlet is disposed in the lower chamber. The lower chamber may have in it a gellable hydrophilic material that absorbs liquid waste. The portion of the funnel disposed in the upper chamber is, when fully extended, longer than the upper chamber. The outlet end of the funnel may be a flutter valve that prevents backflow of waste. To use the bag, a user opens the closure and extends the funnel.

  • Patent number: 5531724
    Abstract: A containment and disposal system for human bodily fluids includes a bag and a holster that allows a user to quickly and easily remove and replace the bag. The bag includes an envelope having a hollow interior, an opening for receiving the bodily fluids from a catheter via a one-way valve, and hydrophilic material within the bag that rapidly gels bodily fluids in the bag upon contact. Prior to and during gellation, the one-way valve inhibits escape of the bodily fluids. The gellation sequesters the bodily fluids, and the gelled material further facilitates closure of the one-way valve. The hydrophilic material may include a polymer that is activated upon contact with the bodily fluids.

  • Patent number: 5354132
    Abstract: A containment and disposal bag for human bodily fluids is disclosed which includes a bag having a hollow interior and a top at least partially open to receive the bodily fluids; preferably a funnel structure within the bag to channel said bodily fluids into the interior and to restrict expulsion of bodily fluids from the interior prior to sequestration; a hydrophilic material within the bag which is rapidly gellable upon contact with the bodily fluids in the bag, the gellation serving to essentially completely sequester the bodily fluids and prevent it from thereafter being expelled from the bag; and a closure to close the top of the bag after introduction of the bodily fluids into the bag. The hydrophilic material is commonly a polymer which is activated upon contact with the water-based bodily fluids and which gels rapidly (normally within thirty seconds or less) to sequester the bodily fluids.
