Abstract: A compressor apparatus includes a compressor housing having a mating surface with at least one electrical terminal associated therewith. An electrical connector assembly includes a hermetically sealed body having an axial face configured to lie adjacent to the mating surface of the compressor housing. A first electrical connector is molded substantially within the body. The first electrical connector is for connection with a source of electrical power. The first electrical connector is in communication with the axial face of the body. The first electrical connector is configured for connection to the at least one compressor terminal. A second electrical connector is substantially molded within the body. The second electrical connector is in communication with the axial face of the body. A thermal cutoff device is electrically and removably connected to the second electrical connector.

Abstract: A heat pump housing made from plastic is disclosed herein. The housing is preferably two-piece including a wall plate and a shell. The wall plate may be secured to conventional wall studs and provides outside air intake and exhaust openings. The wall plate additionally provides supports for the temporary support of the shell while the shell is being secured to the wall plate. The shell includes chambers for conditioned and unconditioned air, a removable drain shelf separating the two; and shelves for support of the compressor, blowers and other conventional heat pump features.

Abstract: The invention is of a design for both an internally based design feature and add-on accessories, both of which provide lighting which is directed to the dial(s) of conventional combination pad locks. Applicant's invention permits lock users to operate pad locks in darkened conditions, without needing any ancillary lighting or lighting accessories (flashlights, etc.).

Abstract: A cake package for packaging large and heavy cakes is shown with a cake base, a cake cover, two slits cut into the bottom side of the cake base along the corrugation of the board, and at least two flexible, reusable spring loaded clips. To assemble the present invention, a cake is first mounted to the cake base in the conventional manner. Then, the cake cover is attached to the cake base by using food grade glue or any other conventional method. Finally, the clips are mounted into place by securing the upper part of the clips to the cake cover and by securing the lower part of the clips into the slits located at the bottom of the cake cover. The clips stay in place due to the rigidity of their material.

Abstract: This disclosure features a single package vertical air conditioner (both evaporator and condenser) in an easily installed cabinet. The cabinet includes a chassis above a dual level drain pan having a sump. The pan sits on a set of rubber feet to enable mounting. Side openings align with a telescoping two part plenum to connect to a louvered grill on the outside of a building to enable fresh air input and heat exchange.

Abstract: A system and method for improved mobile assisted handoff in a digital cellular communication system that gives the mobile station the ability to synchronize to candidate base station transmissions in order to read the transmitted digital voice color code (DVCC) of the candidate station. This process is performed during the idle period between two designated time slots in a TDMA frame. The invention is an enhancement to the existing mobile assisted handoff procedures described in the existing IS-136 standard. The present invention improves on the IS-136 standard's use of received signal strength measurements in that it allows the mobile station to acquire and report information regarding the digital verification color code (DVCC) of the candidate base station channels. Since the DVCC uniquely identifies the cell site to which a channel belongs, it is used to distinguish the candidate base station channel from its co-channel interferers, allowing the network to make a more informed handoff decision.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel visor and eyeshield combination. This visor and eyeshield combination allows the wearer to adjust the eyeshield by flipping the eyeshield up to a rest position or down to an in-use position, by adjusting the distance of the eyeshield downward from the visor, by adjusting the distance of the eyeshield from to the wearer's face in order to accommodate eyeglasses and/or facial contours, and, in the preferred embodiment, by allowing the eyeshield to be flipped toward the wearer's face for a wraparound-look.

Abstract: A pacing apparatus has a housing formed of laminar material less than about 1" in thickness. Visual indicia are applied to the housing and provide instructions for the administration of the rescue procedure. A pacing signal generator is carried by the housing for providing the pacing signal to a user. The pacing signal generator provides visual and/or audible indications to a user for pacing the administration of the rescue procedure. The usual indicators may be LEDs and the audible indicator may be one or more tones.
