Patent number: 11617429Abstract: A scraping device has a scissor-like construction with two blades. Each blade can extend in a same plane as handle of the device. One of the blades is more dull than the other, the dull blade adapted to abut a part of the human body without causing any permanent physical change thereto, and the other being sharper than the dull blade which is designed to cut or remove part of the body. In some embodiments, one or both blades are rotatable in a plane which is normal to the direction of rotation of the handles relative to each other. In other embodiments, the blades are fixed at an angle relative to the handles and/or direction of movement of the handles. The dull blade may be inline with the handles while the sharp blade and/or cutting edge of the sharp blade is out of line therewith.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Inventor: John Lazar

Publication number: 20190295042Abstract: When a user creates an alarm in a calendar, they can associate the alarm with rules that control when or if the alarm is triggered. These rules operate on data items that can include data from a variety of external and internal sources. The data items can include traffic conditions, events in a calendar of one or more users, asset prices, user actions, and user locations. When the values associated with the data items change, the rules associated with the alarm are used to determine whether the time associated with the alarm may be adjusted or whether the alarm may be removed from the calendar. The rules and data items associated with the alarm may be defined by a user using a programming language or syntax, or may be inferred from user input using natural language processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2018Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventor: Richard John LAZAR, JR.

Patent number: 9625515Abstract: The subject matter described herein generally relates to apparatus, systems, methods and associated computer instructions for predicting the end of service life of a space charge limited vacuum electron device. The device produces an electron beam current and has a cathode and a filament powered by an adjustable voltage power supply providing a voltage between a first low voltage and a second higher voltage to heat the cathode to an electron emitting temperature. The process includes periodically, while the device is in operation, adjusting the voltage provided by the power supply while monitoring the beam current, determining a knee-point in the voltage where the beam current begins to decrease as the voltage is decreased, and calculating, based on the determined knee-point and a predetermined voltage vs service life remaining relationship, the amount of service life left in the device.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES LLCInventors: John B. Overstreet, Michael J. Cascone, John A. Lazar, Louis R. Falce

Publication number: 20070199484Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for a folding table assembly comprising a lifting assist center torsion bar assembly, a lift off caster assembly and a stability locking mechanism. A folding table assembly with a lifting assist mechanism provides a lifting assist force during a portion of the folding process of a foldable table from an unfolded use position to a folded storage position. A lift off caster assembly maintains an unfolded table assembly in a stationary position and prevents the unfolded table from wandering or deviating from its original location on the floor. There is also provided a stability locking mechanism that can set the folding table in a folded and stable semi-closed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2007Publication date: August 30, 2007Inventors: Jeremias Rivera, John Lazar, Doss Samikkannu, Scott Zeeb, Philip Anthony

Publication number: 20060186817Abstract: A biasing system for use with a multi-stage depressed collector of a high power amplifier includes one or more adjustable power sources. A power controller provides control signals to the power sources depending on the operational RF power level. For low power applications, biasing of collector electrodes is reduced such that savings in energy costs are realized, and operational temperature and wear are reduced. The control signals are based on values stored in a look-up table. For multiple depressed electrodes, biasing can be controlled in tandem or independently.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2006Publication date: August 24, 2006Inventors: Michael Cascone, John Lazar, John Overstreet

Publication number: 20050112387Abstract: A coated paper stock having high moisture vapor barrier characteristics and ingredient compatible with recycling and repulping is disclosed comprising a substrate coated on at least one surface with a subcoat. The subcoat comprises a hydrolyzed amphoteric vegetable protein at at least 11 weight percent based on weight of the subcoat. A top coat is coated over said subcoat. The top coat consists essentially of a water-based dispersion of a film forming vinyl addition polymer, conjugated diene polymer or copolymer of either polymer, such as acrylic polymers, acrylic copolymers, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, styrene acrylate copolymers, styrene butadiene copolymers, polyvinylidene chloride and polyvinylidene chloride copolymers. The top coat is substantially free of mineral pigments that interfere with the moisture vapor barrier characteristics. The vegetable protein is preferably a hydrolyzed amphoteric soybean protein with an average molecular weight less than 400,000 Daltons.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2004Publication date: May 26, 2005Applicant: Appleton Papers Inc.Inventors: Adam Druckrey, John Lazar, Matthew Lang

Publication number: 20050003122Abstract: An insulating beverage cup or sleeve is produced with a foam layer disposed on an inner surface of a food or beverage paper stock. A polyethylene film layer is arranged in a position between a paper stock layer and an inside surface of the beverage container. The foam layer decreases the energy transfer between the beverage and the user's hands allowing the user to hold onto the cup for an extended period of time without causing user discomfort or pain, e.g. greatly extends the hold time of the paper cup. The exterior surface of the beverage cup remains highly printable and predisposed to high quality graphics both before and after cup manufacture.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2004Publication date: January 6, 2005Inventors: John Debraal, John Lazar
