Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a first housing having a first cavity, a second housing disposed in the first housing and including a second cavity and at least one aperture, a first fan assembly configured to generate a first airflow through the first housing, and a second fan assembly configured to generate a second airflow from the second cavity to the first cavity via the at least one aperture.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are generally related to acoustic white noise machines. In particular, embodiments of the present invention are directed to an acoustic white noise machine that comprises a fan blade designed to shear airflow against a sharp edge in order to create broadband turbulent noise. Embodiments of the present invention may further include an adjustable enclosure that may be manipulated via the rotation or other movement of an outer shell to alter the amount of air being sheared by the fan blade, thereby changing the frequencies which resonate in the adjustable enclosure.

Abstract: A drawer glide having, among other things, a cabinet rail that includes a glide member and a wheel housing. The drawer glide further includes a drawer rail having a wheel and a glide lip. In operation, the cabinet rail is positioned on a cabinet and the drawer rail is positioned on a drawer. When the drawer is opened, the glide lip travels along the glide member and the wheel travels along the wheel housing. The drawer glide prevents slop, eliminates racking, increases drag and reduces noise. Further, the drawer glide is relatively easy to install on an article, such as RTA furniture.

Abstract: A three-dimensional marking display to partially enclose conventional outdoor lighting poles whereby the display includes a circular or multisided wrap having a top affixed to the upper edge of the wrap and a bottom affixed to the lower edge of the wrap for attachment to the upright lighting pole element.

Abstract: An open clamshell-type food container is prevented from collapsing by means of a securing tab joined to the side wall of one of the container shells, a side wall joined to the other container shell, the two side walls being in alignment, and the securing tab being affixed to the other side wall.

Abstract: A hollow bath soap bar including a multi-cell frame. Top and bottom covers are fixed respectively to the top and bottom edges of the frame and multiple internal cells of varying configurations formed by at least two partition walls disposed within the frame.

Abstract: A bath soap bar including outer side and end walls interconnected to form a quadrilateral frame. Top and bottom covers are fixed respectively to the top and bottom edges of the frame and multiple internal cells of varying configurations formed by at least two partition walls disposed within the frame.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system for auditing a total exposure of an entity, the total exposure forming the basis of a premium amount to be charged to the entity for an insurance policy. A first means for receiving a plurality of exposure information records from a first source is provided. Each of the exposure information records from the first source corresponds to a location of the entity and a class code associated with the location of the entity. A database, coupled to the first means for receiving, is provided for storing the exposure records from the first source.

Abstract: A mask for painting designs on a surface includes a lower stratum constituting a multi-piece stencil and an upper stratum superimposed on the lower stratum for maintaining the stencil pieces in fixed relationship. The lower stratum has a pressure sensitive adhesive on a bottom surface for holding the mask to the surface to be painted. The upper stratum has a pressure sensitive adhesive on a bottom surface which lightly sticks to a release coating on the upper surface of the lower stratum. After the mask is applied to the surface to be painted with the lower stratum adhering thereto, the upper stratum is peeled to expose the multipiece stencil.

Abstract: In the continuous carbonizing and desulfurizing of formcoke produced from coal of relatively high sulfur content, a shaft type reactor receives both formed green compacts and a particulate sulfur acceptor at the top and these descend together through definite preheating, calcining and cooling zones. Highly heated non-oxidizing hydrogen-containing gas is introduced into the reactor at the level between the calcining and cooling zones to flow upward through the reactor and provide the principal, if not the only source of heat for the reactor. At an intermediate level between the calcining zone and preheating zone, a portion of the rising current of gas, comprising both original gas and additional evolved gases is withdrawn from the reactor and part of the gases so withdrawn is burned in a heat exchanger to heat another part to the high temperature required to thus provide the highly-heated hydrogen-containing gas that is introduced into the reactor as described.
