Abstract: A manufacturing method and device for supporting conductors. Using a non-metallic insulating material extending beyond one or both parallel legs of a staple the thumb and forefinger may grip this extension while the staple is being driven into a supporting structure. This finger grip allows for a small, insulated staple to be held with increased safety to thumb and forefinger during penetration of staple into support.

Abstract: A bolt and receiver are provided to securely attach a device (e.g. light reflector or a lane marker) to a surface (such as a roadway). In addition to initially attaching the device to the surface, the bolt will nest progressively within the receiver as the surface thickness erodes or deteriorates over time, thus reducing the bolt's effective overall length (and thus the bolt's height above the surface), in order not to protrude and puncture or damage tires.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of telecommunications. More particularly, to a method and an apparatus that would allow callers to time-share telephone, tele-communication or communication lines in order to truthfully vary the telephone line from which they are calling parties through a communication, telecommunication or Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN). The system would allow customers to utilize methods that would manage their calls in ways that would maximize the probability that a called party would answer.

Abstract: The compressive strength of a fluid-pressurized structure is combined with the tensile strength of interior members to maintain the geometric shape of a structure used to provide support with very low mass. These compressed fluid building structures can be combined with other traditional construction materials in creating columns, beams and other structural support elements.

Abstract: At present, there exist systems which send SMS text messages across national boundaries and telephonic carriers from one mobile phone operator to another. The proposed system would create a series of real number to virtual number(s) mappings, allowing the sending and receiving of messages across national borders without incurring international charges.

Abstract: A musical instrument ligature having at least one compression bed which act as the contact points between the ligature and the reed on the mouthpiece of a wind instrument. Said ligature is significantly juxtaposed to an opposite spar and support elements, positioned so as to optimize the fixation of the reed to the mouthpiece.

Abstract: An optical apparatus relates to the field of optical magnification and stereoscopy, more specifically to the problem of optically magnifying an area stereoscopically and displaying this information to an operator in a comfortable manner.

Abstract: A magnetic therapeutic device useful for medical purposes wherein the head or body part of a user is exposed to a magnetic field created by magnetic elements having opposite polarities. One side of the treated volume, member or body cavity receives a magnetic flux having a north to south polarity while at the same time the opposite side of the treated volume or member is subject to a south to north polarity. The magnetic therapeutic device comprises two permanently mounted magnetic elements, means for mounting the said magnetic elements and means for holding the said magnetic elements at a particular location and substantially opposite sides to each other.

Abstract: An apparatus for climate control and entertainment, as well as a system for maximizing energy efficiency and comfort are disclosed. The apparatus affords the ability to control ambient conditions while at the same offering enhanced entertainment options.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus are provided for portable evaluation of metamophopsia. The method, system and apparatus includes a computer application capable of making any handset or portable display terminal into a portable electronic eye evaluation unit, including clinician's and/or automated assistance, test evaluation and re-test if required.

Abstract: A motor arrangement between the movable body and the commutation system comprising movable body coils assembling, wherein said movable body coils assembling are energized for short periods of time of an electric cycle in order to initiate a movement at the movable body. The current applied to the coils assembling is stopped during a passive phase in order to complete a rotary motion based primarily to the magnetic relation between the static body and the movable body, more particularly the magnetic relation between the coils assembling and the permanent magnets in order to reduce the heat and energy consumption and therefore increasing the motor life.

Abstract: The invention refers to a therapeutic device used on or in interaction with a penile organ of a human, and more particularly to a C-shaped male genital device made of durable resilient material, easy to attach and clean, which promotes an increase in the penis size when erected, enhancing the user's sexual experience and providing a therapeutic magnetic field.

Abstract: A prefabricated storm shelters that can be easily repositioned and assembled while providing safe, secure shelter before, during and after a catastrophic event are described, as well as a method to mfr. them.

Abstract: Link2File, A method to allow computers connected to the Internet to find each other, identify specific files, video and/or audio channels within them and automatically initiate actions (such as peer-to-peer file transfers or video feeds), even when their Internet Protocol (IP) address is reassigned at random by a third-party.

Abstract: Overall, this particular invention is a universal pole and post anchoring system used to support and stabilize various types of poles and well as posts while buried in the ground. What makes this particular invention very unique is that this anchoring system is simply molded as one piece device. The pole or post would simply slip through this anchoring system with ease then secured with appropriate minimum of hand tools. This invention is made of a one piece Strong and Light Polymer Plastic with various thicknesses or a one piece Metal Alloy material with various thicknesses. This anchoring system, helps prevent any pole or post that is buried in the ground from leaning side to side as well as helping to prevent from accidentally being pulled off the ground or sink into the ground. Depending on the size of the Poles and Posts being used, these anchoring systems do not require any special skills by consumers and require only minimum of hand tools for assembly such as a screw driver, or hammer and nails.

Abstract: An optical apparatus having an off-axis direction of view is disclosed. The optical apparatus advantageously has an outer dimension of less than about 2 mm. The optical apparatus can be utilized as a subsystem of an endoscopic device.

Abstract: A device that combines the functions of a colander or strainer with a leak-proof bowl. This allows you to use the same container to rinse a product, then prepare, condiment, potentially serve the dish (whether under wet, moist or dry conditions) and even store it afterwards. A method for using the combined purpose container.
