Abstract: Mechanisms, components, kits, combinations, and methods of securing shredder bags to shredder baskets that allows at least a portion of a top edge of a shredder basket to not be overlapped by a shredder bag. One preferred embodiment of a bag securing component may include a plurality of securing components each having lateral sides, the plurality of securing components may be detachably engaged in a side-by-side fashion to form a one piece member that may be reducible in length.
Abstract: A pencil sharpener that facilitates the sharpening of pencils by any one or more of the following: preventing injury; automatically sharpening pencils without manual manipulation; providing status indicators during sharpening; and/or allowing varying degrees of sharpness to be selected.
Abstract: An advanced food and/or drink organization and/or handling system that greatly facilitates food management and handling to help streamline household operations as relate to foods and related functions and events.
Abstract: This invention relates to a fully differential non-inverting parallel amplifier for detecting biology electrical signal, including input buffer circuits, differential filter circuits, data selector, non-inverting parallel amplifying circuits and analog-digital circuits. The biology electrical signal, first impeded and converted by the input buffer circuits, and then low-pass filtered by the differential filter circuits, shall be amplified with its common mode signal rejected by passing through the data selector and non-inverting parallel amplifier circuits. At last, the amplified biology electrical signal is output by analog to digital conversion in the analog-digital circuits after its noises beyond signal high frequency band are filtered by anti-aliasing filter net. This invention, with low noise and high common mode rejection ratio, stable baseline, large signal input dynamic range, is reliable and not easy to be saturated. Furthermore, it can support mature PACE Detecting with a low cost.
Abstract: A shredder having a feature which prevents shredder operation or provides a user alert when the accumulation of shredded material in the disposal basket has reached the capacity of the basket.
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a sizing ring adapted to accurately fit an individual for a recloseable ring. The method includes: providing a generally arcuate member and having first and second ends; forming a segment of reduced cross sectional area along the generally arcuate member to form a living hinge therein and to define first and second shank portions; and configuring the first and second ends to form a connector such that the sizing ring is a one piece polymer member configured for movement between an open position, in which the sizing ring is adapted to be positioned over a portion of an appendage without sliding over a length of the appendage, and a closed position, in which the sizing ring is adapted to form a band around the appendage and has an inner surface that is generally circular to correspond to an associated ring size.
