  • Publication number: 20170069033
    Abstract: An incident reporting assistant system may include an electronic device with a processor, memory, a data communication system, a camera and a user interface. Software may be provided on the electronic device, which may cause the electronic device to receive and display a plurality of instructional steps. This data may then be uploaded to a remote server. The instructional steps may include a classification of incident; general data, incident categories, each category including a subcategory to which a user can check if applicable to that incident, taking photos using the camera, and creating a sketch of the incident location and activity and storing the sketch in a sketch folder for review prior to uploading to the remote server. The details of an incident may be documented, reviewed and uploaded remotely from a phone or other electronic device.

  • Patent number: 6782836
    Abstract: Embroidery machines have previously not been well adapted to embroider billed caps such as baseball caps. A bill hook is secured or hooked on the distal end of the bill. The hook is supported by a base support, which is mounted to the hat hoop base frame. The bill is flexed away from the head portion of the cap, thereby providing room for the embroidery machine to access the area immediate adjacent to the bill that is embroidered. By flexing the bill away from the head portion of the cap and attaching it to the hat hoop base frame, which moves with the cap as it is moved in the embroidery machine, the bill is much less likely to become jarred lose from the hat hoop base frame during the embroidery process. This reduces registration errors and with it the scrap rate of caps.

  • Patent number: 6411667
    Abstract: An ECP sensor includes a tubular ceramic probe having a closed tip at one end packed with a metal and metal oxide powder. A metal support tube receives an opposite end of the probe, and is joined thereto by a braze joint therewith. An electrical conductor extends through the support tube and probe, and has an end buried in the powder for electrical contact therewith. A ceramic band bridges the probe and tube at the joint for sealing thereof.

  • Patent number: 4092174
    Abstract: Fast-response alumino-phosphate photochromic glasses having silver halide crystals dispersed throughout the glass consisting essentially of, in weight percentages:SiO.sub.2 : 8.5 to 25%, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 : 13 to 36.5%, P.sub.2 O.sub.5 : 7.5 to 33.5%, B.sub.2 O.sub.3 : 7 to 28%; R.sub.2 O: 7 to 20.5%, R'O:0 to 21%, TiO.sub.2 : 0 to 6%, ZrO.sub.2 : 0 to 10%, PbO:0 to 8%,Where R.sub.2 O represents at least one of Na.sub.2 O, K.sub.2 O and Li.sub.2 O, the maximum content of Li.sub.O being 5%; and R'O represents at least one of MgO,CaO,SrO and BaO, within the following individual limits: MgO: 0 to 4%, CaO: 0 to 6.5%, SrO: 0 to 10%, BaO: 0 to 21%; the amount of SiO.sub.2 is not less than 16% when the B.sub.2 O.sub.3 content is less than 8%; and the silver content of the glass, expressed as Ag.sub.2 O, is not less than 0.05% by weight.Such glasses in which Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 is the largest constituent are preferred for ophthalmic purposes, but it is also possible for either B.sub.2 O.sub.3 or P.sub.2 O.sub.

  • Patent number: 4088501
    Abstract: Fast-response photochromic boron-free aluminophosphate glasses which have silver halide crystals dispersed throughout the glass comprise, in weight percentages:______________________________________ SiO.sub.2 10 to 17% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 20 to 29% P.sub.2 O.sub.5 30 to 40% R.sub.2 O 8.5 to 17% R'O 4 to 18% ______________________________________Where R.sub.2 O represents Na.sub.2 O and/or K.sub.2 O; R'O represents CaO and/or BaO, the CaO content being at least 4% if BaO is absent and being from 0 to 7% if BaO is present, while the BaO content is from 0 to 18%; the total of SiO.sub.2 + Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 + P.sub.2 O.sub.5 amounting to not less than 69% by weight of the glass. Preferably the total of SiO.sub.2 + P.sub.2 O.sub.5 + Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 is not less than 72% by weight of the glass. The silver content of the glass, expressed as Ag.sub.2 O, is preferably not less than 0.05%. Refractive index n.sub.D can be corrected to the standard ophthalmic value of 1.523 by additions of TiO.sub.2, ZrO.sub.2 and/or PbO.
