  • Publication number: 20140270892
    Abstract: A reusable antiperspirant and/or deodorant dispenser with a removable front face that allows for the replacement of hygiene stick. The front face may be removed by sliding it upwards relative to a dispenser body until the front face disengages from the dispenser body. The front face may be re-attached to the dispenser body by snapping engagement tabs together. The used hygiene stick may then be removed by turning a rotational device such that a keyhole in the device aligns with a key on a spindle. A replacement hygiene stick may then now be inserted and seated on an elevator platform in the dispenser. In one embodiment, the hygiene stick may be sold as a set with the spindle and the elevator platform.

  • Patent number: 5825360
    Abstract: A method for arranging windows in a workspace on a computer display screen. The method includes the steps of assigning, using a central processing unit, a priority to each of a first plurality of windows in the workspace according a predefined criteria, a selected window having the highest priority. The method further includes the step of indenting by an indentation distance value from a reference position in the workspace on the computer display screen each of the first plurality of windows, the window having the lowest priority being positioned the closest to the reference position, the window having the highest priority being positioned the furthest from the reference position and in the visual foreground of the workspace on the computer display screen.

  • Patent number: 5689434
    Abstract: A system for monitoring and/or controlling the torque applied by a fluid driven tool for driving threaded fasteners, such as tools driven by either air or oil. The system includes a fluid flow meter to measure a parameter which is a function of the rate of fluid flow into the tool during operation of the tool, a transducer for converting the measured parameter into an electrical signal, and a data processing unit for processing that electrical signal into a signal representative of the torque applied by said tool. A system for digitally processing the measured parameter and comparing it to predetermined expected parameters to infer the condition of the fluid driven tool and for reporting that inferred condition is also included. The system is applicable to both nutrunner type fluid tools and impact wrenches.
