Publication number: 20120244485Abstract: A heating system for heating a liquid includes a fuel cell having a plurality of charged plates operatively positioned within the fuel cell. An electrolytic solution supply conduit is operatively connected to the fuel cell for supplying electrolytic solution to the fuel cell. In one embodiment, a water conduit supplies water to the fuel cell. The water in the electrolytic solution disposed between said charged plates is converted to H2H2O2 gas. A torch is provided for receiving the H2H2O2 gas. A heat exchanger is operatively positioned relative to the torch for receiving heat from the torch and supplying the heat to a manifold for heating a liquid. In one embodiment, the fuel cell and the electrolytic solution are disposed within a first chamber of a reservoir and a cooling fluid is disposed within the second chamber of the reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2012Publication date: September 27, 2012Inventors: Shawn MIKUSKI, Jayson Eduard VAJDA, Stephen John GAYNES

Patent number: 7571537Abstract: A powered stapler includes a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion movably coupled to the first portion. The stapler is actuated by creating relative movement between the first and second housing portions. The second housing portion includes an elongated trigger member, that when moved relative to the first housing portion, actuates the powered stapler to drive a staple into a stack of sheets. The stapler is configured to be held in a single hand of the user and can be actuated by the user squeezing his or her hand while holding the stapler.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2005Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: ACCO Brands USA LLCInventors: David P.
