Patent number: 7124769Abstract: A system and method for servicing restrooms on the upper floors of a high rise building. The system is comprised of sections of hoses that are interconnected by valves, each valve configured to provide a user with the ability to selectively shut off the flow of material in a vertical or horizontal direction. These vacuum hoses are then connected to a liquid cooled pump, which is connected to a vacuum tank. The system operates by selectively opening and closing the vertical and horizontal valves to focus vacuum force in areas to be cleaned and prevent vacuum in non-desired areas.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2005Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: A Company IncorporatedInventors: Clyde Sansom, Jeff Moore

Publication number: 20040051696Abstract: The present invention provides an input device such as a mouse which has a unique construction with integrated key plates and integrated side grips. In one embodiment, the input device comprises a housing, which includes a bottom case and an upper member disposed above the bottom case. The upper member includes a palm rest configured to support a user's palm and at least one key plate extending continuously from the palm rest to form a hinge between the at least one key plate and the palm rest without a gap. The key plate is movable in bending relative to the palm rest at the hinge to activate a key switch. The left side grip and the right side grip are formed on a single piece top case connected between the upper member and the bottom case. The left side grip and right side grip typically have concave surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2003Publication date: March 18, 2004Applicant: LOGITECH EUROPE S.A., A company of SwitzerlandInventors: Denis O'Keeffe, Neil O'Connell, Anita Chiu, Alex Sung, Jack Hung, Martin Gleeson, Fergal Corcoran

Patent number: 5749691Abstract: A reaction nut for location on a threaded bolt, particularly a bolt to be nsioned by a hydraulic tensioning device, includes a plurality of internally-threaded segments (22) movable between an outer-most inoperative position radially spaced from the bolt (2) and an operative position making threaded engagement with the bolt (2). The segments (22) have tapering surfaces thereon. A primary ring member (16) is movable axially relative to the segments (22) and has a corresponding tapering surface (18) thereon. A first resilient device (20) biases the tapering surface (18) of the primary ring member (16) into engagement with the tapering surfaces on the segments (22). A cam then (26) moves the primary ring member (16) from a rest position to an axially displaced position against the bias of the first resilient device (20) whereby the segments (22) are moved by an associated second resilient device (24) between their operative and inoperative positions.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1996Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: Hedley Purvis Ltd A Company of Great Britain and Northern IrelandInventor: David Campbell

Patent number: 4448203Abstract: An inexpensive apparatus for sensing and displaying the duration of the Silent Periods of masticatory muscles, which is suitable for diagnostic applications made in a doctor's office. The apparatus includes electrode means to be applied to the skin overlying a masticatory muscle and for sensing electrical activity within the muscle, and means providing an electrical signal representative of the sensed electrical activity. The apparatus further includes means receiving the representative electrical signal and sensing therein the onset of a Silent Period. Further means rejects those Silent Periods which have a duration less than a predetermined time interval, which time interval is selected to establish a minimum Silent Period of interest. Finally, the apparatus determines and displays the duration only of those Silent Periods longer than the predetermined time interval.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1982Date of Patent: May 15, 1984Assignee: "A" CompanyInventors: Eugene Williamson, Stephen M. Thompson, Derek K. Evans

Patent number: 4369033Abstract: An orthodontic bracket assembly for bonding to the surface of a tooth is disclosed. The assembly includes a pad and an archwire bracket. A plurality of cavities are provided in the tooth abutting surface of the pad. The walls of the cavities are provided with an irregular surface texture to enhance the bonding between the tooth and the orthodontic bracket. In the preferred embodiment the bracket is cast. The external surface of the bracket is smoothed in a tumbling operation in which the particle size of the abrasive is chosen so that the cavity walls are not subjected to treatment but are left in their irregular, as-cast state. Also disclosed is a method for preparing the mold to produce the cavities in the tooth-abutting surface of the pad.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1980Date of Patent: January 18, 1983Assignee: "A"-Company, Inc.Inventors: David E. Webb, Lawrence F. Andrews

Patent number: 4249898Abstract: An orthodontic rotation spring, geometrically shaped as a "U" or an "S", that terminates at one end in a tube for the passage and retention of a tie wire, and at the other end with a curved surface. The entire spring is dimensioned for compression between an arch wire attached to an orthodontic bracket and a tooth band. A force vector results which acts to rotate the tooth about its axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1979Date of Patent: February 10, 1981Assignee: "A"-Company, Inc.Inventor: Lawrence F. Andrews

Patent number: 4245986Abstract: An improved orthodontic face bow which facilitates the making of a secondary orthodontic correction in addition to the primary correction provided by a conventional face bow is disclosed. An armature projects vertically from the arch member of the face bow. The armature extends from a position proximate the exterior surface of the posterior teeth of one level, usually the upper teeth, to a position proximate the exterior surface of the posterior teeth of the other, usually lower level. An engaging surface is provided at the distal end of the armature. A tension member such as a rubber band is used to interconnect the engaging surface of the armature and the anterior teeth of said other level. The tension member provides a rearwardly directed force on the anterior teeth at the level of the engaging means to induce an orthodontic correction on the anterior teeth of said other level.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 1979Date of Patent: January 20, 1981Assignee: "A"-Company, Inc.Inventor: Lawrence F. Andrews
