  • Patent number: 9198436
    Abstract: A barbeque oven is provided with the capacity to cook a variety of food items. The barbeque oven of the present invention includes a cooking tray that is slideable between a first position, where the cooking tray is located substantially within the cooking chamber and the cooking tray is driven by a driving member, and a second position, where at least a portion of the cooking tray extends through an opening in the oven housing and the cooking tray is disengaged from the driving member such that the cooking tray freely rotates. As a result, unlike conventional barbeque ovens, an operator using the present invention need not bend over nor reach far to flip, rotate, or otherwise access the food items on the cooking tray.

  • Patent number: 6775356
    Abstract: An emergency call initiated from a wireline or wireless device is recognized at a point along a network path and an alert signal is generated. Additional information including real-time incident and response information is collected in response to the alert signal. The emergency call is associated with the additional information separate from information in the emergency call. A call is then automatically placed to a telephone number designated by the subscriber, the call including the additional information. The real-time incident and response information includes the location of the calling device, and one or more of incident specific information, person specific information, and vehicle specific information.

  • Patent number: 6504909
    Abstract: A registration method in a system for calling designated addressable notify devices in response to a 9-1-1 call. When a registration call is received from a new customer, the software proceeds with a voice answerback menu to register numbers to be notified. Two choices are provided. The customer can choose a standard notify service or a reverse notify service. In standard notify service parties designated by the customer are notified of 9-1-1 calls originating at the customers telephone. In reverse notify service if a party designated by the customer calls 9-1-1, the customer is notified of 9-1-1 calls originating at the designated party's telephone. The notify numbers are stored in a list in a database memory maintained by the notify service. If a call is received from a current subscriber, the software proceeds with a voice answerback menu to update the previously registered numbers to be notified.

  • Patent number: 6151385
    Abstract: A system for calling designated addressable notify devices in response to a query to a local telephone company's ALI database system. An advertisement of the 9-1-1-call notification service directs the new subscriber to contact their local telephone provider to register with the new service. The local telephone provider supplies the new system with the registered subscriber's telephone number (ANI) and password. The new subscriber them calls the new service provider directly to register their addressable communication devices to be notified pending a positive reaction to an ALI database system query and the service providers subscriber database. When a registration call is received from a new subscriber, the software proceeds with a voice answerback menu to register numbers to be notified. The notify numbers are stored in a list in a database memory maintained by the notify service.

  • Patent number: 5104477
    Abstract: Elastomer structures having exposed controlled surface release characteristics can be made by coating at least a portion of their surface with a releasing composition comprising (a) a chlorosulphonated polymer; (b) a reinforcing filler and (c) a green tackifying agent. Optionally, these compositions can also contain a chemical curing system and one or more volatile solvent/diluent viscosity-reducing vehicle. In a specific example, the coating are applied to flexible structures used in machines for the manufacture of articles having natural tack due to their rubber or elastomer content.

  • Patent number: 4381857
    Abstract: An improved air/oil shock absorber (16) especially adapted for aircraft landing gears (11) is provided whereby the rate of strut (14) compression is programmed separately for the landing impact and for rollout after the landing. During the landing impact, increased tail clearance is achieved by temporarily delaying the last few inches of compression. After the aircraft rotates on to the nose landing gear, the shock absorber (16) slowly compresses to its static position where it then functions in a conventional manner. The shock absorber assembly (16) may be oriented in any position with respect to the aircraft (10) by virtue of two internal air/oil separator pistons (24 and 29).
