  • Patent number: 9788569
    Abstract: A novel cigar is provided with an elongated cigar puller device which extends into the interior of the cigar. By removing the cigar puller from the cigar, the tobacco fill material of the cigar is disrupted so as to improve the draw of the cigar. Once the cigar puller is removed from the tobacco fill material, a flavorant and/or aromatic can be infused into the less dense tobacco fill material which is provided upon the removal of the cigar puller.

  • Patent number: 4567773
    Abstract: A pressure transducer system including a pressure transducer, a heater and a temperature sensor and controller for controlling the heater. A thermal lead network is also provided that has a resistor that is physically located in close proximity to the temperature sensor and thermally bonded so that the heat that this resistor generates reaches the temperature sensor well in advance of the heat that would ultimately reach the temperature sensor from the heater. In view of this arrangement, this pressure transducer system is capable of making precise measurements in a time-varying temperature environment.

  • Patent number: 4064588
    Abstract: A tool for manually cleaning the grout between tiles affixed to a wall. The tool has a substantially pear-shaped handle with a large and a small end. A blade is secured in a slot bifurcating the small end having teeth along one edge and protruding from the handle. The teeth are finely and selectively spaced and dimensioned and aligned in a straight line to remove small grout particles when the handle is manually reciprocated. The blade has perforations which are aligned with holes extending through the smaller end of the handle. Screws extend through the holes and perforations from one side of the handle to the other to clamp the blade securely in the slot.
