Publication number: 20100263808Abstract: A wall opening covering is disclosed. The covering includes a take up member attached to a support assembly. The take up member is rotatable in a first direction and a second direction and the support assembly is configured and arranged to fasten to a wall opening. A lifting member is retained by the take up member. A front panel is suspended in the wall opening and connected to the lifting member. The front panel is movable between a first position and a second position whereby rotation of the take up member in the first direction gathers the lifting member thereby drawing the front panel to the first position and rotation of the take up member in the second direction releases the lifting member thereby drawing the front panel to the second position. The wall opening covering may further include a transmission assembly driving the take up member.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2010Publication date: October 21, 2010Applicant: KENNEY MANUFACTURING CO.Inventors: Michael Hanley, Leo E. LaBarre, Mathew A. Mello, Vincent J. DeSanto

Publication number: 20080078018Abstract: A shower bar assembly that includes a pair of mounting brackets configured and arranged to be mounted to a wall of a shower stall is disclosed. Each of the mounting brackets has a base portion with a first shelf and a second shelf projecting from the base portion. The first and second shelves each have a retaining peg projecting from each shelf, respectively. A tubular shower bar is included and has two opposing ends. Each of the ends of the tubular shower bar has a pair of surfaces in which each defines an aperture through the tubular shower bar. Each end of the tubular shower bar is configured and arranged to slide onto the first and second shelves of the mounting brackets, with the apertures interlocking with each of the retaining pegs, respectively, to suspend the shower bar between the mounting brackets and to prevent the shower bar from rotating between the brackets.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2006Publication date: April 3, 2008Applicant: KENNEY MANUFACTURING COMPANYInventors: Michael Hanley, Leo E.

Publication number: 20060293232Abstract: The present invention relates generally to novel, selectable hybrid polypeptides useful as agents for the treatment and prevention of metabolic diseases and disorders which can be alleviated by control plasma glucose levels, insulin levels, and/or insulin secretion, such as diabetes and diabetes-related conditions. Such conditions and disorders include, but are not limited to, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, insulin-resistance, obesity, and diabetes mellitus of any kind, including type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2005Publication date: December 28, 2006Applicant: Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Odile Levy, Michael Hanley, Carolyn Jodka, Diana Lewis, Christopher Soares, Soumitra Ghosh, Lawrence D'Souza, David Parkes, Christine Mack

Patent number: 7093330Abstract: A snap-hook that has a hook, forming a portion of an eye loop, and a lever that is pivotally movable relative to the hook. The lever forms a remaining portion of said eye loop with respect to the hook. A thumb tab is connected to the lever, and is positioned in a slot defined in the hook. The thumb tab is slidable in the slot relative to the hook, forming a release mechanism, such that the sliding movement of the thumb tab in the slot causes the lever to pivot relative to the hook to open said eye loop. The snap-hook has essentially broad, opposing, front and back sides, and relatively narrower edges, such that the back side of the snap-hook can be placed into the palm of a user's hand to hold the snap. The thumb tab is located on the front side of the snap-hook to allow simpler holding of the snap-hook and operation of the release mechanism with one hand while essentially eliminating swiveling of the snap-hook in the hand.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2003Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Inventors: Thomas Burton Ferguson, Michael Hanley McDonald

Publication number: 20060121794Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic module, such as an opto-electronic transceiver or a copper transceiver, for plugging into a host receptacle. In an effort to eliminate the use of costly and inefficient sheet metal spring fingers for reducing EMI emissions, the present invention proposes to use solid conductive projections extending outwardly from the sides and top of the module housing. However, in highly populated host receptacles, adjacent cages often share a common sheet metal wall, which will deform when a module with a solid projection extending therefrom is inserted, thereby making insertion of an adjacent module very difficult. The present invention eliminates this problem by vertically offsetting projections on the opposite sides of the housing so no two projections are in the same horizontal plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2005Publication date: June 8, 2006Applicant: JDS Uniphase CorporationInventors: Michael Hanley, James Moon, Bruce Kruger, David Gaio

Publication number: 20060121769Abstract: The present invention relates to a delatching mechanism for an electronic module, such as an opto-electronic transceiver or a copper transceiver, for locking the electronic module in a host cage. The delatching mechanism enables a conventional small form factor (SFP) sized module to be unlatched while a cable remains engaged therein. A manually engageable lever, such as a bail handle, is rotatably connected on one end of a pivoting latch, and includes a projection for abutting against the module housing for distributing the force applied to the bail to one end of the pivoting latch, whereby the other end of the pivoting latch rotates away from engagement with the host cage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2005Publication date: June 8, 2006Applicant: JDS Uniphase Corporation, State of Incorporation: DelawareInventors: Michael Hanley, James Moon, Bruce Kruger, David Gaio

Publication number: 20050282436Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical receptacle for a transceiver, which receives a bundle of copper wires, instead of optical fibers, for transmitting and/or receiving a plurality of parallel signals over short distances. The electrical receptacle includes an electro-magnetic interference (EMI) shield fully enclosed by the housing of the transceiver module and grounded thereto by spring fingers extending between the EMI shield and the housing. The receptacle according to the present invention enables the overall height of the transceiver module to be kept to a minimum.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2005Publication date: December 22, 2005Applicant: JDS Uniphase CorporationInventor: Michael Hanley

Publication number: 20050162761Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat sinking tab for dissipating heat directly from an optical sub-assembly (OSA) to a transceiver housing, within which the optical sub-assembly is located. The heat sinking tab includes a mounting plate for mounting on the rear end of a transistor outline (TO) can, and a finger for extending into contact or close proximity to the transceiver housing. The mounting plate also provides a stiffening plate for flexible conductors used to connect the OSA leads to a transceiver printed circuit board (PCB).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2005Publication date: July 28, 2005Applicant: JDS Uniphase CorporationInventors: Marian Hargis, Michael Hanley, James Moon
