  • Publication number: 20070225031
    Abstract: A case for a portable electronic device such as cell phones, cameras, MP3 players and PDAs wherein said case includes material at the corners to provide protection to the electronic device. To reduce bulk at the corners and allow the material forming the case to conform with the contours of the device, the protection at the corners includes strips of material defining apertures there between. The apertures provide reduction in bulk and allow the case to conform to the corners of the device therein. Alternately, the protection at the corners can be provided by other structures co-molded into the corners of the cases. Such structures include material that is of a reduced thickness than other material used in the case, or structures that are formed to conform to the corners of the case. Such structures can be joined to the material forming the panels of the case by co-molding.

  • Publication number: 20060016342
    Abstract: A kettle for heating water or other liquid has an offset fill opening, e.g., to provide for easier filling of the kettle. A top portion of the kettle may include a relatively low thermal conductivity material to help reduce heat transfer through the top portion. A lid used to cover the fill opening may be recessed in the top portion of the kettle container so an upper end of the lid is flush with the top portion. The lid may have a gripping portion positioned below the upper surface of the top portion. The lid may have a bowl-shape with a gripping portion provided at an upper end of the bowl-shape.

  • Publication number: 20060016341
    Abstract: A kettle for heating water or other liquid may have a container with a top portion made separately from a lower portion and permanently secured thereto. The top portion may have a fill opening that may be registered with an opening in the lower portion and receive a lid to cover the fill opening. A spout liner may extend from the container and be at least partially surrounded by a spout jacket. The spout liner may have a rolled or flanged portion that forms a seal between the spout liner and the spout jacket or that engages with the spout jacket. A handle may be integrally formed with the spout jacket and/or the top portion, e.g., molded together in a unitary form.

  • Publication number: 20050148808
    Abstract: A device provides simple positioning of the patient's head and simple positioning of the TMS coil relative to a coordinate system of the patient's head once the head is positioned. The TMS coil is fixed at a treatment position in the coordinate system of the patient's head and the position in the coordinate system is recorded for use in subsequent clinical sessions. A positioner assembly supports the weight of the TMS coil and allows the operator to freely move the TMS coil to search for the patient's motor threshold position (MTP) and/or the treatment position (TXP). If the TXP is in registration with the MTP, once the MTP is determined, the positioner assembly requires only a single adjustment of the magnet position to locate the TXP where the coil is locked in place for the duration of the TMS therapy.
