Abstract: A paper roll assembly is provided with first and second plates and first and second arm assemblies. Each of the first and second plates defines a through-hole and includes two plate tabs spaced from one another and located on a plate inner surface. Each of the first and second arm assemblies is arranged with one of the first and second plates for rotation independent of the plate. Each arm assembly includes an arm secured to an internal shaft extending through the through-hole. Each internal shaft includes a first shaft tab and a second shaft tab extending from the internal shaft. One of the internal shafts is arranged with one of the plates so rotation of the internal shaft is constrained to facilitate mount or removal of the paper roll by contact between one of the two plate tabs and one of the first shaft tab and the second shaft tab.

Abstract: An optical converter assembly includes a housing, a securing mechanism, and a light converter. The housing defines a first opening that receives part of a light-emitting portion of a dental curing light when the housing is selectively secured relative to the light-emitting portion of the dental curing light. The securing mechanism selectively retains the housing relative to the light-emitting portion. The light converter is comprised of a phosphor material and secured relative to the housing such that input light having a first set of wavelengths and radiant power emitted by the dental curing light is received. The light converter converts the input light to an output light having a second set of wavelengths and radiant power and to emit the output light. The input light includes a blue light and an ultraviolet light that polymerizes a dental material. The output light may be a white light.

Abstract: A therapeutic product delivery device is described, which comprises a circuit layer, an actuator layer carrying an actuator, an occlusion detection layer (118), and a valve layer, through which a therapeutic product is conveyed by the action of the actuator. A plurality of conductive pins (155) extend from the circuit layer through or to each of the actuator layer, the occlusion detection layer and the valve layer, the conductive pins aligning the layers with each other. The occlusion detection layer comprises a plurality of contacts, each electrically connected to a respective one of the conductive pins, the contacts being provided at a detection region at which the therapeutic product is deposited in the event of a blockage. A blockage inhibiting the therapeutic product from being conveyed to the patient is detected when therapeutic product deposited in the detection region provides an electrical connection between the contacts.

Abstract: A computer system and method for automating and facilitating the home sale, mortgage origination, and settlement process, and the home mortgage refinancing origination and settlement process, over a geographically distributed computing network are disclosed. The system and method also allows a home buyer to search for homes offered for sale by a plurality of sellers and, using the home data conforming to the buyer purchase criteria and buyer data, search for loan pricing information for loans from a plurality of lenders, loan pricing information for a plurality of loan types, or both. The system and method then uses this information to process the sale transaction.

Abstract: The need for a method of cleaning household surfaces which results in less grease residues on the surface, and improved surface shine is met by cleaning the household surface using an aqueous hard surface cleaning composition which comprises specific amines.

Abstract: The need for an antimicrobial hard surface cleaning composition providing good antimicrobial efficacy, even at low levels of the antimicrobial agent, while also providing improved surface shine, is met by formulating the composition with an antimicrobial active and an amine

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer system, computer program product and computer implemented method for automatically calculating translation costs based upon translation memory analysis. This involves receiving an original document and a source-target language pair, comparing the original document with previously translated text or the translation memory database corresponding to the source-target language pair and computing a modified word count reflecting the degree of overlap between the original document and the previously translated text based on the comparison. Further, a per word translation rate corresponding to the source-target language pair is identified in a viewable database and a modified translation cost is calculated from the per translation rate and the modified word count.
