  • Publication number: 20250108961
    Abstract: Described herein is a tamper evident cap for an aerosol can. The tamper evident cap includes a sidewall and a top surface, the sidewall and the top surface define an inner cavity. The tamper evident cap includes a pair of opposing pads movably positioned relative to the sidewall and configured to release the tamper evident cap from the aerosol can. The tamper evident cap includes a pair of tabs positioned relative to the sidewall and outward relative to the pair of opposing pads, where each tab of the pair of tabs is positioned to restrict engagement with a corresponding pad of the pair of opposing pads, where each tab of the pair of tabs is at least partially removable from the sidewall.

  • Publication number: 20240327103
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to apparatuses and/or methods involving a rotatable dial and a plurality of nozzles therein. The dial aligns each nozzle with a fluid supply channel. In some instances, a gear coupled to the dial has cogs and gaps between adjacent ones of the cogs along a rotational path of the gear. Certain aspects involve force feedback in which a flexible tab located in the rotational path of the gear engages with the cogs for providing resistive feedback. Other aspects involve audible feedback in which a flexible tab flexes in response to contact with the gear as it rotates, and snaps back into place after the gear is rotated past the flexible tab, creating an audible noise. Certain particular aspects involve utilization of the gears to prevent fluid from being dispensed when the nozzles are not aligned with the channel.

  • Patent number: 11975912
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and/or apparatuses involving an apparatus having a channel, an actuator, a mechanical stop, and a dial having nozzles and a gear. The dial is operable to rotate for selectively aligning each of the respective nozzles with the channel. The gear has a plurality of cogs and recessed regions between adjacent ones of the cogs, and is configured with the mechanical stop to prevent movement of the actuator when the dial is positioned such that none of the nozzles are aligned with the channel.

  • Publication number: 20100212059
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved method for manufacturing a garment to be printed by dye sublimation printing. The method includes constructing a garment having first and second panels joined together along a perimeter edge by a seam, placing a piece of transfer paper having a pattern printed thereon with dye in contact with the garment such that the piece of transfer paper covers at least a portion of the first and second panels and extends over at least a portion of the seam, and applying heat to the piece of transfer paper and the garment to cause the dye on the transfer paper to sublimate such that the pattern from the transfer paper is visible on the portion of the first panel covered by the piece of transfer paper substantially to and along the portion of the at least one seam covered by the transfer paper, but is not visible on the second panel.

  • Publication number: 20060096217
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to cladding for buildings, in particular, domestic buildings, industrial buildings such as storage facilities and the like. According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a cladding element suitable for use in a cladding assembly, the cladding element having a main body including a ridge which when the cladding element is assembled into the cladding assembly mates with a corresponding recess in an adjacent cladding element, the cladding element in use at least partly mounted in a mounting element connected to a structure so as to affix the cladding element to the structure without fasteners penetrating through or into the cladding element.

  • Publication number: 20050122971
    Abstract: A method for buffering variable length data at a decoupler includes receiving, at a decoupler, a request to queue variable length data from a producer, with the decoupler comprising a management header and a buffer pool. One of a plurality of fixed-length segments in the buffer pool is dynamically selected based, at least in part, on the management header. Buffer space in the selected segment is automatically allocated based on the request and the allocated space is then populated with the variable length data.

  • Patent number: 4062348
    Abstract: A system and an apparatus expose a trapped gas to light, the gas being one which is dissociated by the light from a molecular state to an excited atomic state and which generates heat on reconversion of the excited atomic gas to its molecular state upon contact with a third body entrapped with the gas, the generated heat being transmitted for use.
