Publication number: 20120265108Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2010Publication date: October 18, 2012Applicant: FOREVER YOUNG INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventor: Daniel L.

Patent number: 6729977Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2003Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Fairway Products International, LLC.Inventors: Daniel L. Young, Thomas Franciscus, Timothy P. Curnutt

Patent number: 6728419Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2000Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: Daniel L.

Patent number: 6697091Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2000Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Kristinn R. Rzepkowski, Rudolph A. Rodrigues, Daniel L. Young

Patent number: 6116780Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1999Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: American Innotek, Inc.Inventors: Daniel L.
