  • Publication number: 20050076669
    Abstract: An air tunnel diverter for a refrigeration unit includes one or more leg members secured to a hub. The hub is generally formed to include a fitting through which cooler air is passed to the leg member and routed into the desired locations within the refrigerated space. The leg member is placed on the fitting by sliding one end of the leg member onto a leg portion of the fitting. The fitting is then secured to the leg member by an overmolding process in which a soft flexible plastic is cast or otherwise applied around the connection. Installation is further simplified by providing the leg member with a flexible portion. The air tunnel diverter is preferably secured in the refrigeration unit by foam insulation.

  • Publication number: 20050022654
    Abstract: A melodic interchange system that allows persons having no previous musical training or musical sight-reading skill to perform new lyrical contents. Known as the Universal Song Performance Method (USPM), this process capitalizes on the user's existing knowledge of a plurality of well-known melodies—ranging from simple nursery rhymes (that anyone would know) to elaborate classical works. The USPM system is comprised of printed or otherwise visually displayed text containing newly-authored, structured rhythmic prosody based on common-mode scansion that is divisible within a standard musical form, thus enabling said lyrics to be superimposed over melodic material that is familiar to the user.

  • Publication number: 20050022549
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a fresh food stirring fan assembly arranged within a fresh food compartment. The stirring fan assembly functions to recirculate air in order to minimize temperature stratification in the fresh food compartment. The stirring fan assembly preferably incorporates a filter to remove airborne debris and absorb odors. In accordance with one preferred embodiment of the invention, the fresh food stirring fan is operated whenever a damper controlling an inlet flow of cooling air to the fresh food compartment is in a closed position.

  • Publication number: 20030010071
    Abstract: This invention is designed to prevent luggage from being stolen from airports. It uses a number of various size coinciding threaded receptacles and threaded rods to prevent theft. Luggage secured with this system should only be handled by the owner who has the matching threaded rod. If a thief removes a piece of luggage from the conveyer he will have no idea what size rod he needs to match the receptacle. And it must be attached immediately. So anyone that removes luggage from conveyers or handles it without the correct key inserted onto the receptacle should be considered a suspected thief.

  • Patent number: 4064810
    Abstract: A railway car door includes an operating mechanism having a pair of pipes and cranks rotatably secured to the door. By their rotation, the door is movable into and out of a door opening. The car is equipped to have internally-projecting lading restraining members removably attached to the inside car sidewall and filler members removably attached to the inside of the door. Pipe stops are provided for selectively increasing or decreasing the amount of rotation of the pipes and cranks possible so that when the filler members are attached to the door, the door can be moved laterally out of the opening a first greater distance and thereby permit the filler members to clear the sidewall or adjacent door of the car. When the filler members are removed, the door can be moved a second, lesser distance out of the opening and clear of the sidewall or adjacent door of the car.
