Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to location and communication systems that can be utilized for locating cargo containers using tags with a radio communication subsystem in the form of a transponder or micro-transponder. Each cargo container tag (CCT) is capable of communicating with either other cargo container tags or a base-station (BS) locator devices. The tags can be arranged for tracking the opening and closing of doors on individual cargo containers using radio communication methods. Lost cargo container can be located using communications from a base station and the cargo container tags. CCT devices can also detect intrusions and/or tampering with cargo containers, and store a variety of collected data for later retrieval.

Abstract: A tactile recognition input device is used by a visually impaired individual, for example, to interact with an electronic device, such as a computer. The input device includes a plurality of activation keys movable in a direction generally parallel to the input device and preferably away from the individual to activate the input device and transmit input signals. Each of the activation keys includes a tactilly recognizable region including, for example, a Braille character. A tactile recognition overlay is used with an existing input device, such as a membrane computer keyboard. The overlay includes an overlay member having a plurality of depressible portions that are movable to below the overlay member to activate input regions on the input device. Activation keys are disposed on the overlay member over each of the depressible portions and are movable in the direction generally parallel to the input device.

Abstract: A tactile recognition language display device includes at least one language communication segment. Each language communication segment includes a top portion having a tactilly recognizable language symbol and a side portion having a corresponding visually recognizable language symbol. The language communication segment further includes engaging members for mounting language communication segments to form words or phrases displaying a message, such as in a public place. The language communication segments of the tactile recognition language display device are removably mounted in such a way that the tactilly recognizable portion of the displayed message is easily accessible to touch by visually-impaired individuals while the visually recognizable portion of the displayed message is easily viewed. The language communication segments are removably mountable on a mounting board which may be moved to various locations for conveying the tactilly and visually recognizable message.

Abstract: A tactile recognition language overlay system includes a piece of pliable material for covering a pressure sensitive or push button operated device, such as a keyboard or control panel. The piece of pliable material includes depressible portions which move below the piece of pliable material to contact detection regions disposed on the pressure sensitive device, such as keys on a keyboard. Each depressible portion has an engaging region which is adapted to engage a tactile recognition language block having at least a tactilly recognizable character, such as a Braille character. The tactile recognition language blocks may also include visual indicia. The depressible portions and engaging regions are spaced and oriented in a predetermined pattern corresponding to detection regions on the pressure sensitive device.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a vehicle radiator including joining the liquid conducting tubes to the tank headers by punching holes with upstanding collars in the headers and inserting a tube end in each collar, each collar to tubing joint being formed by welding an intermediate portion of the joint and filling the rest with solder thereby forming a composite joint of weld and solder with additional solder forming a fillet behind the weld.

Abstract: An apparatus for teaching Braille letters, words and sentence structure is disclosed. The present invention provides the construction of a number of blocks, each containing the appropriate dot arrangement on its surface to represent a Braille character, sound, word, or number. The Braille blocks are similar in construction to a two by three matrix Lego.TM. brand building block. However, the two by three matrix of dots is altered such that the dots on a block are representative of a Braille character. The present invention also involves the structure of a rigid board upon which the Braille blocks may be affixed. This board allows for the creation of words and sentences upon its surface. The board also prevents the inadvertent jumbling of the blocks placed upon it such that a tutorial lesson is not interrupted by any disturbances. This feature is particularly important when one is teaching the young or the retarded to read Braille.
