Abstract: The present invention is a system for running a plurality of different web sites requiring different resource applications wherein each of the resource applications are run in an optimized environment. The system includes a web server having a web server application resident thereon. A plurality of web sites are resident on the web server, the web sites having a plurality of different resource request generators for generating a plurality of different types of resource requests. Each type of resource request requires a particular resource application. A first back end server is operatively coupled to the web server, the first back end server running a first operating environment optimized to run a first group of resource applications resident on the first back end server.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved cover for covering over an electric fixture on the wall. The cover includes a housing dimensioned to completely contain the electric fixture, the housing having a top portion, two parallel side portions and a flat back portion. The top portion and side portions of the housing define a front opening dimensioned to be larger than the electrical fixture. The flat back portion has at least one aperture which is dimensioned and configured to permit a mounting bolt to pass there trough to bolt the flat back portion directly to the electric fixture so that the flat back portion contacts the wall. The flat back portion also has at least one opening for accessing the electric fixture.

Abstract: The present invention is a hot runner nozzle design consisting of a nozzle core with slotted flange seated inside a slotted nozzle housing, a nozzle tip seated on the nozzle core, and a nozzle tip seal seated on the nozzle tip. Furthermore, the present invention is a quick assembly hot runner nozzle design. The present nozzle design provides for the easy installation and removal of the nozzle by means of turning and sliding the nozzle. This provides for easy installation or removal of the nozzle when servicing the mold in the machine and without the complete disassembly of the hot runner mold. The seal located on the nozzle tip seals the tip area to avoid plastic leakage. Positioning the seal closer to the gate area also contributes in increased nozzle tip mass thus resulting in a better heat distribution profile along the nozzle tip, and especially in the area closer to the gate.

Abstract: An improved thermal expansion compensation manifold support is disclosed. The support includes a spring having a barrel and a skirt extending from the barrel, the skirt forming a recess. The spring has a first shoulder extending into the recess, and an end opposite the barrel. The support also includes a block having opposite ends, a finger portion formed at one end and a second shoulder formed at the opposite end. The finger has an end opposite the second shoulder, with the finger being dimensioned and configured to be inserted into the skirt's recess. The skirt and the block are dimensioned and configured such that when the finger is inserted into the recess, the skirt end abuts against the second shoulder and the finger end is separated from the first shoulder by a gap.

Abstract: The present invention is a system for controlling in order to automatically fill in web enabled forms on a target web site. The system includes a web information database file containing a plurality of records relating to a plurality of web sites, including the target web site. Each record contains a plurality of information fields including an address field having the URL of the web site and a soft coding field. The soft coding field contains the particular coding instructions required by the web browser application to log onto, navigate and populate the web enabled forms of the web site at the URL. The system also includes a web agent application, the web agent application configured to read the web information database file and search the information contained in the web information database file in response to the search parameter information.

Abstract: An improved Roman blind assembly is disclosed. The Roman blind assembly consists of a fabric screen mounted to a pair of suspension cords and a pair of pull cords. Each of the suspension cords consists of an elongated flexible cord having a plurality of loops formed along a length of the cord, each loop being a loop of flexible cord defining a loop opening. The blind assembly also includes a plurality of elongated mounting elements mounted to the fabric screen to form a plurality of parallel folds, each of said mounting element being mounted to one of the loops of each suspension cord. Finally, the blind assembly also includes a drawing mechanism for pulling up the fabric screen by drawing up the pull cords.

Abstract: A device for movably coupling a gaming piece to a substantially non-magnetic surface having opposite first and second sides is disclosed. The device comprises a base which is mounted to the gaming piece, the base comprising a housing, a first and second magnet and a first support element positioned between the first and second magnets. The first support element is dimensioned and. configured to support the base on the first side of the surface. The device has a magnetic coupling positioned on the second side of the surface, said magnetic coupling comprising a spindle member having an axis of rotation and a first and second magnet, the spindle member being rotatably mounted in a carriage housing.

Abstract: A vertebral model for illustrating the alignment and misalignment of the spine is disclosed. The model consists of first and second members movably mounted to each other, the first and second members each having a longitudinal axis. The model also has a third member interposed between the first and second members. The first and second members are movable relative to each other between a first position, wherein the first and second members are coaxially aligned, and a second position wherein the first and second members are not coaxially aligned. The model also has a locking mechanism for releasably locking the first and second members in their second position. The first and second members are configured to resemble two adjoining vertebrae, and the third member is configured to resemble an inter-vertebral disc between two adjoining vertebrae. The invention permits the model to illustrate how the vertebra can be placed into and out of alignment.
