  • Publication number: 20220236267
    Abstract: A filter toxin and antigen detector assembly for detecting the presence or absence of toxins or antigens within air handling systems, ventilators, respirators, continuous positive airway pressure devices (CPAP), and bilevel positive airway pressure (BIPAP) devices is disclosed. The filter toxin and antigen detectors may be attached to an air filter, or placed (such as in the form of a test cartridge or test strip) onto a port or other portion of a respiration device to determine if the device is clean for further medical use. The filter toxin and antigen detectors disclosed herein utilize lateral flow immunochromatographic assay technology having a sample window allowing air flow therethough. The filter toxin and antigen detector will give an immediate presence indication, such as by changing color, thus providing a fast indication of whether or not harmful toxins or antigens are present within an airborne environment.

  • Patent number: 9653898
    Abstract: The electrical outlet faceplate with electrical cord cleat is a cleat plate that is for use with an electrical outlet faceplate. The cleat plate is a structure around which a cable can be secured such that the cable will not be disconnected or damaged inadvertently. The electrical outlet faceplate with electrical cord cleat is attached by a hinge to the electrical outlet faceplate allowing the cleat plate to be rotated to a position perpendicular to the electrical face plate while the cleat plate is in use and allowing the cleat plate to be rotated to a closed position flush to the electrical outlet faceplate when the cleat plate is not in use. The electrical outlet faceplate with electrical cord cleat includes an outlet faceplate, a cleat plate, and a hinge.

  • Patent number: 8620864
    Abstract: An item data management server having the capability to create a physical item data record for a physical item in the control of a user based upon a data object of an accessible collection. The item data management server presents a clone command query to the user terminal, and receives, in response, a clone command query response that corresponds to and identifies a data object having a plurality of attributes. The item data management server generates a cloned physical item data record based upon the data object. The cloned physical item data record includes at least a portion of the plurality of attributes of the data object, and a second plurality of attributes associated with the user. The item data management server generates a web page including the cloned physical item data record, and presents the web page to the user terminal.

  • Patent number: 6282662
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for selectively overriding a prepackaged power management driver of a portable personal computer so that data transmitted to the CPIU of the computer by a device, such as a “real time” serial communicators device connected thereto, is not lost during the CPUs latency “wake up” period following a CPU power-down operation. An override system stored in memory comprises an override flag which may be set or cleared by a user or the computer. If the override flag is set, then the power management system is prevented from reducing power to the CPU so that the occurrence of a CPU latency period and thus potential for loss of data is avoided.

  • Patent number: 5708794
    Abstract: A digital processor system is disclosed that employs a bus bridge interfacing a primary bus to a secondary bus and which includes a transaction backoff signal line that provides an economical method of providing split transactions between the busses, of preventing deadlock situations between the busses, and of providing strong lock ordering across the busses. A primary bus master is backed-off the bus if it is attempting to access a device resident on the secondary bus and if mastership of the secondary bus cannot be attained by the bus bridge within a certain latency. The bus bridge further implements a method of prefetching read data from a device resident on the secondary bus in response to a primary bus master being backed-off the primary bus during a read operation.
