Abstract: A warming device and system for warming medical gel to a comfortable temperature prior to application to a patient. A warming chamber configured to receive one or more gel containers (e.g., packets or bottles) disposed in a horizontal orientation with a cover sealing the chamber. Multiple protrusions and/or depressions disposed on an inside surface of the chamber can be used to soften thermal conduction of heat to the gel containers and inhibit hot spots. A flexible heating element and an intermediate thermal conducting member can extend up one or more sides of the warming chamber. Multiple buttons can be used to set different gel temperature settings.

Abstract: A methodology and device for inhibiting or reducing dry mouth and inhibiting or reducing snoring of a human during sleep consists of applying a lip sealer device to a human in an angular position on the head. The lip sealer device forms a flexible, elastic continuous loop. The device may be positioned in the front of the head above the chin and below the lower lip, and extends diagonally across the cheeks and over the top of each ear and across the back of the head. The device has holding force to inhibit the opening of the lips during sleep. Optional lip balm may be used to seal the lips during sleep.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement for use with a baseless electrical lamp includes an insulating fixture having a plurality of electrically conductive terminal members. The exposed lead wires which protrude from the press of the baseless electrical lamp engage the electrically conductive terminal members so as to both provide electrical current to the baseless electrical lamp and retain the baseless electrical lamp in the insulating fixture.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing an incandescent lamp includes evacuating the lamp through a hollow space formed in the lower portion of the lamp to be sealed by press jaws and sealing the lamp with press jaws whose surface is substantially flat.

Abstract: In an electric lamp, a bulb is supported by straps which extend around and engage the bulb base. The straps are spaced apart longitudinally of the bulb.

Abstract: A vehicle headlamp is provided wherein one or more reflectors scan a collimated beam of light to generate a desired light beam pattern and project it to the road. Electrical and mechanical driver means are also provided to change the mode of operation of the scanning reflector to change the pattern of light and its location on the road.

Abstract: The invention relates to automobile sealed-beam headlamps in which a reflector and lens assembly are hermetically sealed by an epoxy resin. A pressure relief hole in the reflector eliminates the problem of excessive expansion and contraction of the atmosphere within the lamp such as would prevent forming a hermetic seal between the reflector and lens during the epoxy resin curing cycle. A deformable metal pellet forms a hermetic seal in the pressure relief hole. An epoxy resin is applied over the deformable metal seal and cured to produce a final permanent seal.

Abstract: A dual filament lamp is installed in its cooperating socket without the use of intermediate base, cement or bulb stem. The elimination of the intermediate elements improves the ability to manufacture lamps having precise filament alignment with respect to their sockets.

Abstract: The two legs of a headlamp filament are welded to a headlamp filament shield to form a subassembly intermediate in the manufacturing process. The rigid nature of the filament/shield subassembly thereupon allows handling during assembly without displacing the filament from its precise location with respect to the shield as required by modern automotive headlamps. The filament/shield subassembly is welded to support pins in its final location in the lamp. A portion of the filament shield, orginally providing an electrical short circuit across the filament is trimmed away after welding to the support pins to make the lamp operational.
