Abstract: A system for adjusting blood glucose level including an insulin delivery device configured to release insulin into the body of a person, and an EEG monitor having an EEG sensing part including EEG electrodes. The EEG monitor can be arranged in the ear region of the person with the EEG sensing part arranged subcutaneously at the scalp or arranged in the ear canal. The EEG monitor includes an EEG signal processor arranged at the ear and adapted for identifying onset of hypoglycemia. The system further includes a wireless link between the EEG monitor and the insulin delivery device. The EEG monitor is configured to submit a warning signal to the insulin delivery device if an upcoming onset of hypoglycemia is identified. The warning message will cause the insulin delivery device to restrict insulin delivery for a predetermined time, and a warning is provided to the person or to a caregiver.

Abstract: A personal wearable monitor for monitoring a bio-electrical signal from a person. The monitor is adapted for detecting an upcoming seizure, and for providing an acoustical information signal. The monitor is provided with a first speaker (13) for providing the information signal, and a second speaker (14) is adapted for functioning as a microphone in testing if said first speaker is capable of providing a sound. The second speaker is also a back-up speaker. The monitor is adapted for providing a notification in the event that the second speaker (14) does not detect the generated sound from the first speaker (13).

Abstract: A frame is constructed to support a roof. A plurality of panels can be slid into position on the frame from the ground. A mating channel joint is formed between adjacent panels that allows one panel to be slid over the adjacent panel into the proper position. The panels engage frame members to properly position the panels on the roof. The roof panels are formed with mounting structures located on the interior or underside thereof. The mounting structures include holes or other receptacles for receiving a rigid connector member. The frame members are also provided with receptacles for receiving the connector member. The connector member is inserted through the first mounting structure, through the receptacle in the frame member and through the mounting structure of the adjacent panel.

Abstract: A plastic material panel includes a primary three-dimensional pattern formed on a surface thereof. In one embodiment the primary three-dimensional pattern defines a plurality of simulated roofing shingles, shakes or tiles. A plurality of different secondary three-dimensional patterns are also formed over the surface of the panel. The secondary three-dimensional patterns are arranged such that different ones of the second three-dimensional patterns are used on different areas of the first three-dimensional pattern.

Abstract: A programmable expiration date verification system is disclosed. According to one aspect, a programmable expiration date verification system including a programmable expiration date module is provided. The programmable expiration date module includes a memory device operable to store an expiration date and a communication port operable to receive a communication including the expiration date. The programmable expiration date module further includes a processor operably coupled to the memory and the processor is operable to determine the expiration date. A visual indicator operable to be altered by the processor in response to determining the expiration date.

Abstract: The corner member acts structurally and as a trim cap for cladding. The corner member can accept multiple types of cladding with or without sheathing in channels formed in the corner member. The corner member may also comprise return flanges or a separate mounting flange that extend into the structure and are exposed to allow for fastening of internal accessories or other items that need an internal mounting surface.

Abstract: A roof assembly includes a skylight panel and a roof panel. The roof panel includes a skylight opening to accommodate the skylight panel and also includes water management channels disposed adjacent to the skylight panel.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus has a wall panel accessory with at least one connector projecting from a portion of the accessory. The connector has a groove formed in a surface of the connector. A mounting body has a front and a back. At least one connector receptacle extends into a surface of the body and the connector is releasably received in the connector receptacle. A releasable retainer protrudes into the groove of the connector. A wall mounting projection extends from the back of the body and is configured to slidably mount in a channel in a wall panel.

Abstract: A blow molding system for forming a hole through a blow molded article includes a mold that houses an outer core pin and a pin support. During the blow molding process, a compression area is created in the mold. After the compression area is formed, the outer core pin and the pin support cooperatively cut out a portion of the compression area during the blow molding process. After the mold is opened, the cut-out portion of the compression area can be removed to expose the hole.

Abstract: A blow molded article is disclosed. The blow molded article includes a body defining a cavity, and a wall integrally-formed with the body and defining at least in part, an enclosure. A method of making a blow molded article is also disclosed. The method comprises supplying a preform to a mold having a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity having a pin, closing the mold, supplying a fluid to the closed mold, expanding a first portion and a second portion of the preform around the pin, and contacting the first portion and the second portion to provide the enclosure.

Abstract: An improved reusable storage container is disclosed with a varying wall thickness. Specifically, the vertical corner sections have a greater wall thickness than the side and end panels and, possibly, the bottom panel. Further, the various corner sections or corner junctions of the structure may also have a greater average wall thickness than the vertical, side or end panels and, possibly, the bottom panel. The improved container is fabricated using an extrusion blow molding process with a shaped die in combination with parison programming so that the thickness of the extruded parison is non-uniform both radially and axially. An adjustable die for carrying out the extrusion blow molding process is also disclosed.

A plurality of spaced apart ribs extend downward from and traverse the concave interior arch surface.

Abstract: A method for continuously forming discrete hollow parts includes extruding at least one continuous stream of molten plastic. A plurality of mold segments are arranged such that one or more segments periodically close on the one or more streams of molten plastic and define discrete part forming cavities when closed. A pressure differential is created within the discrete part forming cavities to shape the molten plastic accordingly. Air or another gas is replenished within the discrete hollow parts either in the discrete part forming cavities, or nearly immediately upon discharge from the cavities. The discrete hollow parts are then cooled. The apparatus for forming discrete hollow parts in this manner has an extruder and a plurality of the mold segments including one or more segments that can be closed on the plastic stream or streams. The pressure differential is applied by the apparatus to the closed mold segments. The hollow part interior is replenished either by the apparatus or manually by an operator.

Abstract: A multiple layer reusable plastic container is disclosed. The multiple layer structure includes at least one layer of recycled or highly economic material and at least one outer layer made from either virgin resin or a more aesthetically appealing material to provide a multiple layer reusable container that is economical to manufacture in terms of material costs but yet has an acceptable outward appearance. The recycled or economical layer may be coated on both sides with virgin resin to provide an improved inner and outer appearance to the reusable container and also qualify the inner surface as an appropriate food contacting surface.
