Abstract: A food mixing attachment includes two mixing arms extending down from an engagement member that is configured for engaging a mixer. A respective flexible blade is on each arm and has a contour generally like that of a bowl. During the mixing process the blades scrape food from the bowl surface into the interior of the bowl.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying signals between a communications card and a signal utilization device or network. In one form (FIGS. 1,2), structures are provided for receiving an RJ series plug and for making electrical connection with at the contacts on the plug and conveying any signals on the contacts to a communications device such as a telephone, facsimile machine, modem, or a local area network adapter. A body (102) includes one or more recesses (106) which receive the plug. An expandable and stretchable membrane (114) isolates the contacts in the plug from electrical contact with an object in a surrounding environment such that passage of current from one or more of the electrical contacts to an object present in the surrounding environment is prevented. Also provided (FIGS. 7, 14) is a replaceable direct access arrangement (151, 258) which is replaceably held within the communications device (150, 250).

Abstract: A protective mask system and a method of manufacturing a foam/fabric mask face shield having a three-dimensional geometry. The mask system has a lens frame and a compression-molded composite sheet, which is formed by multiple layers. The method includes the steps of forming a composite sheet from two or more layers, heating the composite sheet, and compression molding the composite sheet into the three-dimensional geometry of the face shield. The composite sheet can be formed by the lamination of two or more layers.
