Abstract: A switch housing body has a base and a sidewall having an axis and extending from the base to a rim and having a pair of axial slots. A switch cap has: a cap body having a top web; and a sidewall extending from the top web to a rim and having a pair of holes. A shaft passes through the pair of axial slots and pair of holes. A spring biases the cap axially away from the housing from a compressed condition to an extended condition. A cap electrical contact and a housing electrical contact have an electrically closed condition at the compressed condition.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and a kit are capable of improving accuracy of CGS devices using dynamic outputs of continuous glucose sensors.

Abstract: A device comprised of hair-flow-channel guides continuously moved over the surface of the scalp. A track cap of parallel tracks is placed on the head to guide device's movement over the scalp along non-overlapping rows. At the front of the device is a hair-tensioning straightener that pulls hairs perpendicular to the scalp before and during processing. A bend-under assembly, formed by two pinching conveyer belts, facilitates hair exit from the channels by bending scalp-attached hairs beneath the walls of each hair channel. Intermittent intersection of each channel by an obstructing member isolates one or a few leading hairs for processing and forces trailing hairs to wait their turn for cosmetic processing behind it. Isolated scalp hairs may be cosmetically processed in ways including coloration; cross-section reshaping, hair-extension attachment and removal, and cutting to length according to position along track.

Abstract: A client-side director is presented. The director is free of a universal resource locator entry element and provides web-browsing capabilities to a user using services provided by an operating system. The director displays a web page associated with a first web site in the site list. The director may also be used to collect network performance statistics between the client and a remote site. A web page may be filtered by removing links listed as forbidden by site criteria. One or more content items may be generated by the users of the director and distributed by a channel server to other users. The channel server uses a unique identifier associated with each director and a subscriber database to determine which directors to send the content to. An identifier module and an identifier database are used by the channel to distribute the content to the directors.

Abstract: A flow control device comprises an outer sleeve having at least one aperture through its wall, and an inner sleeve having at least one aperture through its wall. Relative sliding movement of the sleeves is provided between “open” positions allowing for variable flow of fluid through the apertures of the sleeves and “closed” positions. A pressure-reducing region is arranged to reduce the pressure of fluid flowing through at least one aperture of one of the sleeves.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a tubular member such as a casing string within another tubular member such as a wellhead, comprising a generally tubular tool which can be lowered into the annular space between said members, a slip carrier supported from said tool and a slip assembly carried by said slip carrier, said slip assembly including a slip bowl which can be supported against one of said tubular members and one or more slip elements which can be urged into wedging engagement between said slip bowl and the other tubular elements, the slip elements normally being supported by said slip carrier in a non-engaged position and said tool including means operable to urge the slip elements into said wedging engagement. A method of supporting a casing string within a well including the steps of landing the slip bowl on the casinghead shoulder, actuating the tool to force the slip element into engagement between the casing and the slip bowl and retrieving the tool and slip carrier.
