  • Publication number: 20230186793
    Abstract: A roll display sign device for displaying an information sheet for a vehicle includes a housing, which defines an interior space. The housing is selectively engageable to a window of a vehicle so that the housing is removably engaged to the window. A slot is positioned in the housing. A panel, which is wound and which is positioned in the interior space, is reversibly extensible through the slot so that the panel is viewable through the window of the vehicle. The panel has indicia positioned thereon, can selectively engage indicia, or can selectively engage a sheet upon which indicia are positioned. The indicia are capable of being read by a person who is positioned proximate to the window.

  • Publication number: 20160192880
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for use in detecting a number of substances that may be present, whether constantly or intermittently, in the oral cavity and indicative of specific undesirable and/or unhealthy behaviors. Disclosed devices including detectors that indicate the presence of targeted substances qualitatively or quantitatively, may be secured temporarily, semi-permanently or permanently in the oral cavity employing known dental materials and techniques. The disclosed methods and devices enable constant passive monitoring and therefore may aid in the cessation via a number of positive and negative feedback mechanisms, as well as providing additional diagnostic information to healthcare providers.

  • Publication number: 20100209897
    Abstract: An intraoral behavior monitoring and aversion device to assist a user in quitting an undesirable behavior such as tobacco smoking, tobacco chewing, use of snuff, illicit drug use, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive food consumption, and/or other undesirable activity facilitated via the mouth. The aversion device may be wholly or partially configured to be disposed in the user's mouth, for example. The aversion device may include a detector and a output device, wherein the detector is configured to detect a parameter indicative of the user engaging in the habit or undesirable activity. If (and only if) the detector detects such a parameter, the output device may, optionally, deliver a negative stimulus to the user, thus providing negative feedback and creating an incentive for the user to limit if not eliminate the undesirable activity. The device may be configured to store and/or relay data representing sensed conditions in the mouth.

  • Patent number: 5269662
    Abstract: An aircraft air conditioner refrigerant compressor drive and mounting apparatus for use on aircraft of the type having free rotating power output gears in the accessory pads. The accessory pads accept the mounting of the compressor drive and mounting apparatus to which is mounted an air conditioner refrigerant compressor. The engine power output gear couples with the drive shaft within the compressor drive and mounting apparatus. The drive shaft extends linearly through the compressor drive and mounting apparatus, and is supported by bearings within. Bracket means are provided for mounting an air conditioner refrigerant compressor to the compressor drive and mounting apparatus such that the refrigerant compressor drive shaft is generally parallel with the compressor drive and mounting apparatus drive shaft. A pulley is attached to the refrigerant compressor drive shaft and generally aligned with a pulley on the compressor drive and mounting apparatus drive shaft.
