Abstract: A smoking article (130) comprises a variable flow system configured to vary gaseous flow into or through the smoking article.

Abstract: A pack for smoking articles including an outer housing (11) having an open end and an inner casing (12) telescopically received within the outer housing and moveable between an open position in which the inner casing (12) at least partially extends out of the open end of the outer housing (11), and a closed position in which the inner casing (12) is retracted further into the outer housing than in the open position. The inner casing (12) includes an elongate access aperture (29) configured to enable elongate smoking articles to be laterally dispensed therefrom in a direction transverse to their longitudinal axes.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing having a horizontal part of that contains a motor and gear set, and a vertical part having a handle extending from the horizontal part generally transverse to the horizontal part. A cover includes a generally tubular body having an internal shape corresponding to an external shape of the horizontal part of the housing, an end cap portion sealing a rear end of the tubular body, a first aperture defined in a front end of the tubular body, and a second aperture defined in a bottom side wall of the body section. The cover is formed of a resilient deformable material so that when mounted on the power tool, a front end portion of the horizontal part extends through the first aperture, the vertical part extends through the second aperture, and the tubular body stretches to frictionally engage an outer surface of the horizontal part of the housing in order to retain the cover on the housing.

Abstract: A smoking article (10) comprising a first part (13) configured to be movable relative to a second part (11) of the smoking article. The first part (13) having a first engaging surface (31). The second part (11) having a second engaging surface (32), the second engaging surface engagable with the first engaging surface (31) to limit relative longitudinal movement between the first and second parts. The first engaging surface (31) and/or second engaging surface (32) is preferably formed on a folded over portion of sheet material.

Abstract: A smoking article (10) comprising a source of smokable material (11); and a sleeve (13) coupled to the source of smokable material and defining a chamber (15). The sleeve has a distal end configured to be movable relative to the source of smokable material. The smoking article (10) further comprises a smoke modifying agent releasable into the smoking article.

Abstract: An interactive alien toy assembly (10) includes a chrysalis (20) that is placed in a test tube (22) along with water that dissolves the chrysalis (20) to expose an alien toy (12) whose super absorbent body portion (18) swells to simulate growth. Control circuitry (16) activates when an upper liquid sensor (32) and a lower liquid sensor (34) are exposed to the water. A light assembly (39) displays a simulated heartbeat in orange if both sensors (32, 34) are immersed to simulate overfeeding, in green if both sensors (32, 34) are exposed to simulate underfeeding, and in red if only the upper liquid sensor (32) to simulate correct feeding. A photo sensor (26) detects time spent in light and dark that is tracked to change the heartbeat, unless overfed. A computer display interrogation pattern (162) causes output of tracked age/neglect information or to go into an excited or coma mode.

Abstract: A device for downloading data from a machine having a touch screen or PLC to govern its operation, the device includes a handheld control unit that is operably associated with the touch screen or PLC such that the touch screen or PLC can be downloaded from the touch screen onto the device and information from the device can be transmitted to a personal computer to be viewed or printed. Additionally, a method of downloading the data from a machine having a touch screen or PLC to a handheld control unit and downloading this information to a personal computer such that the information can be viewed or printed.

Abstract: A wafer fabrication system is presented including a measurement system which screens measurement data prior to dissemination. The measurement system may include an equipment interface computer coupled between a measurement tool and a work-in-process (WIP) server. The measurement tool may perform one of possibly several measurement procedures (i.e., “recipes”) upon one or more semiconductor wafers processed as a lot, thereby producing measurement data. The WIP server may select the measurement recipe and store the measurement data. The equipment interface computer may receive the measurement data produced by the measurement tool and compare the measurement data to a predetermined range of acceptable values in order to determine if the measurement data is within the range of acceptable values. The equipment interface computer may display the measurement data upon a display device such that any portion of the measurement data not within the range of acceptable values is visually flagged (e.g.

Abstract: Method and system for automatically and accurately generating E10 reports based on a user-selected set of parameters, including date range, equipment and other parameters, are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the system of the present invention performs three primary functions; namely, a mapping function, a data extraction function and a reporting application function. The mapping function enables users to map WorkStream events into E10 defined states outside of the WorkStream database. The reporting application function provides several major functional capabilities, particularly, enabling a user to formulate restriction information, or "E10 data requests," for data extraction and reporting purposes. Each E10 data request identifies, as a function of facility (or manufacturing area), module, family and/or equipment, the equipment list for which data is to be accumulated, as well as a time period for reporting and duration type to report on.

Abstract: A door lock illumination apparatus is provided for illuminating a door lock assembly carried by a dwelling door which is adjacent to a dwelling door frame and which is in close proximity to a storm door and to an AC power source. The door lock illumination apparatus includes a storm-door-responsive switch assembly mounted on a portion of the dwelling door frame. An AC-powered illumination source is mounted on a portion of the dwelling door frame in proximity to the door lock assembly. A first conductor assembly is connected between the AC-powered illumination source and the storm-door-responsive switch assembly. A second conductor assembly is connected between the storm-door-responsive switch assembly and the AC power source, and a third conductor assembly is connected between the AC-powered illumination source and the AC power source. The storm-door-responsive switch assembly includes a normally closed switch. A storm-door-contacting switch actuator contacts the storm door when the storm door is closed.
