Patent number: 7932921Abstract: A system for carrying out transactions (10) includes customer stations (18) and a service provider station (14). The system is operated in a building (12) or other facility in which a service provider operates the service provider station in a secure room (36). Audio and video communications are established between customers at the customer stations and the service provider at the service provider station. Items are exchanged between customers and the service provider through carriers (26) transmitted through a pneumatic tube system (22). A video material presentation device (50) provides promotional or other video material which is presented on displays at the customer stations. Video material is presented to customers when the customer terminal is not in communication with the service provider terminal. The customer stations are readily installed and configured in the transaction facility to maximize the floor space available for other purposes.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1997Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Bartholomew J.

Patent number: 7814601Abstract: A vibrating hair brush provides enhanced detangling of user's hair. The brush has a bristle pad comprising a plurality of bristles disposed in a brush head. The bristle pad is supported within the brush head by a vibrating motor and isolator assembly disposed for directing a vibratory movement of the motor to a bristle pad movement in a plane generally parallel to a user's scalp. The motor and isolator assembly effectively translate a circular vibratory movement of the offset weight into an elliptical movement of the bristle pad while insulating the vibration caused by the movement of the weight from a handle of the brush.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2007Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Silver Taggart, Jeffrey M. Kalman, John R. Nottingham, John W. Spirk, Jr., Jay Tapper, Rachel Marie Nottingham, Carolyn M. McNeeley, Richard Skinner, Brian Douglas Wall, Stephen Lee Wire
