Abstract: A paper crumpler has a dispenser with a bottom, a top, a side wall between the bottom and the top, and a cavity defined by the bottom, the top, and the side wall. A hole is formed in the top of the dispenser. A shelf is positioned within the cavity below the top of the dispenser. Uncrumpled paper is stored in the cavity beneath the shelf. An orifice is formed in the shelf. The orifice has protrusions that extend radially inward toward one another and that are configured to contact the uncrumpled paper when the uncrumpled paper is passed through the orifice from the cavity to thereby form crumpled paper above the shelf. The crumpled paper can be dispensed from the dispenser through the hole.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method to protect an object with a sleeve has a seam extending along the sleeve wherein the sleeve folds to attach along the seam. The sleeve is inserted on an object, such as a food container or a beverage container, to surround the container. A lattice is formed by expansion of slits extending along the sleeve inserted on the container. The depth of the lattice cushions the container from breakage. A bottom extends from the sleeve to surround the container. The sleeve may be placed in a partitioned section of a crate or box and/or may be incorporated in a bag to receive and/or protect the object.

Abstract: An alphanumeric information entry process that includes provision and use of a personal context model that correlates various examples of user context against a unique personal language model for the user. The personal language model itself along with considerable correlation examples can be developed by statistical analysis of user documents and files including particularly email files (including address books). Such processing can be done locally or remotely. The personal context model is used to predict subsequent alphanumeric entries for a given user. In one embodiment predictions are presented one word at a time. Predictions can be automatically changed in one embodiment when the user fails to make any input for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel polyamines which are the reaction product of A) at least one nonaromatic diamine containing from 2 to 40 carbon atoms, wherein the amine groups are primary amine groups; and B) at least one epihalohydrin of the formula  where R is hydrogen or methyl and X is chlorine or bromine; and the coatings resulting from the reaction between the above reaction product and nonaromatic epoxy resins.

Abstract: A fluidically controlled cargo hook control system for use with aircraft including a fluidic circuit actuatable so that the cargo hook can be opened at pilot command during the pilot command mode of operation, so that the cargo hook will automatically open upon cargo touch-down during the automatic touch-down mode of operation, so that the pilot may override the automatic touch-down system to open the cargo hook at his command during the automatic touch-down mode of operation, and so that the entire fluidic system can be placed in the safe-mode condition so that neither automatic touch-down input nor pilot input can open the cargo hook.
