Publication number: 20200219216Abstract: The present invention allows a virtual online digital classroom to manage the audio and video streams of a teacher and students in a class. The teacher and students may start in a virtual “common room” where the teacher and students may all hear each other's audio and see each other's video streams. The teacher may move the students (and themselves) to two or more virtual breakout rooms. The teacher and/or students in a breakout room can only hear (and optionally only see) the teacher and/or the students in the same breakout room. In other words, the teacher and/or students in the breakout room cannot hear (and optionally cannot see) the teacher and/or students in the common room or in other breakout rooms. In preferred embodiments, the teacher may introduce different material to different breakout rooms and assess students during the breakout session.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2018Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: Kenneth R.

Patent number: 10273996Abstract: A clamp for sanitary fittings includes a clamp body formed of a first arcuate member and a second arcuate member movable about a hinge assembly from an open configuration to a closed, latched configuration. The hinge assembly detachably couples the first arcuate member to the second arcuate member. The hinge assembly includes an arcuate finger extending from an end of the first arcuate member, a pin-receiving recess formed within the arcuate finger, and a post formed on an end of the second arcuate member. Upon assembly, the arcuate finger cradles around the post and the post fits within the pin-receiving recess.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2015Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: NORDSON CORPORATIONInventors: Carl T.

Patent number: 7179204Abstract: An exercise treadmill is disclosed which includes various features to enhance user operation and to reduce maintenance costs. These features include handlebars with an upwardly curved center section and outwardly flared side portions along with pivoting rear legs for the treadmill frame. The control panel features include snap-in user trays and an overlay covering the numerical key pad along with an auxiliary control panel having a subset of user controls that are larger and more easy to use than the same controls on the main control panel. Maintenance enhancing features include the provision for access panels in the treadmill housing and a belt lubrication system that uses a priming pulse to clear the wax spraying nozzle along with using treadmill operating criteria for scheduling and operating the lubrication system. For injection molded parts such as the control panel, structural strength is enhanced by utilizing gas-assist injection molding to form structural ribs.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2005Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Brunswick CorporationInventors: Timothy T.
