  • Patent number: 12234070
    Abstract: A container device and lock and method for locking the container device are disclosed. The container device may be a clam shell container which is secured with a twist on closure. This clam shell container allows for storage of items which are larger than the neck size of a twist-on closure. The container device may have wings on the side of the closure to secure a tight fit with a gasket to make the device water and smell resistant. This device can be used to secure items from unauthorized users. Medications are a common item which can be secured within this device.

  • Patent number: 10383448
    Abstract: A forward tilt assembly configured to tilt forward a seat of a chair. The forward tilt assembly includes a base, a seat plate, and a release mechanism. The seat plate is pivotally mounted to the base and includes two support brackets on the sides of the seat plate. Each support bracket includes a keyhole slot. The release mechanism is operable between locked and unlocked positions and includes a slidable lock pin mounted between the support brackets. The release mechanism includes two keyed collars, one disposed at each end of the lock pin. The collars are received in respective keyhole slots of the support brackets. When the release mechanism is in the unlocked position, the collars are unobstructed from moving within the keyhole slots, and the seat plate can pivot relative to the base, thereby tilting a rear of the chair seat.

  • Patent number: 9169728
    Abstract: Bolted together first and second flanges include bolts disposed through first bolt holes in the first flange. The bolts extend at least partially through second holes in the second flange. Bolt include bolt heads, threads, and shanks therebetween. Crushable spacers disposed around the shanks of a first plurality of the bolts and contacting and axially extending between the bolt heads and the first flange. Bushings disposed around a second plurality of the bolts and contacting and axially extending between the bolt heads and the second flange. A shank outer diameter may be smaller than a thread diameter and heat shrink tubing may be disposed around the bolt shanks of at least some of the spacers. First bolt holes may extend into an open annular slot on first flange and second holes may extend partially through a forward extending annular rail of second flange with rail received within slot.

  • Patent number: 8956106
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided having a first zone with a fluid flow at a first pressure, and a second zone with a fluid flow at a second pressure. A sump cavity is provided in fluid communication with the first zone and a sump vent. An eductor system may be provided with a fluid flow path therethrough and in fluid communication with the second zone and the sump vent. The eductor system may be provided with an altitude sensing valve and may also be provided with gage pressure sensing valve. The eductor system may further be provided with a second gage pressure sensing valve and may also be provided with an orifice plate. The gage pressure sensing valves may react to the gage pressure of the second zone.

  • Publication number: 20080222098
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for providing consolidated order information. Methods include receiving one or more order numbers corresponding to customer orders for network provider services. Information corresponding to the orders numbers are retrieved from a plurality of sources including order summary data, order detail data, customer data and network data. The retrieved information is stored as consolidated order data. A request for a report is received from a user. The request includes selection criteria specifying a subset of the consolidated order data. The report is created by applying the selection criteria to the consolidated order data and the report is transmitted to the user.

  • Patent number: 6711952
    Abstract: A method and system for monitoring the condition of a bearing mounted on a rotating shaft, particularly one present in an aircraft gas turbine engine, where the vibration sensor that monitors the bearing is remote therefrom but proximate to the rotating shaft. The vibration sensor obtains a broadband signal having frequencies that include the bearing defect peak of the monitored bearing. The broadband signal is analyzed to identify the presence of the bearing defect peak. If the bearing defect peak is present, the amplitude of this peak is quantified to determine whether degradation of the monitored bearing has at least reached a threshold criteria previously established.
