Abstract: A device for cutting media is provided. The device includes a cover having a sidewall extending therefrom; a guide disposed substantially beneath the cover and comprising a blade; an actuating mechanism disposed in at least one of the cover and the guide; and an actuating wall disposed between the cover and the guide. Engagement of the actuating mechanism creates a cutting action between the blade and the actuating wall.

Abstract: A tape dispenser including a cutting mechanism is disclosed that allows for improved access to the mandrel during reloading. The tape dispenser comprises a base, a cover, and a mandrel disposed within the base and cover. The cover is capable of securely engaging with the base. The base, the cover, and the mandrel are connected along a pivot point. The cover actuates the mandrel to an open, loading position.

Abstract: The present invention features a cleaning implement, such as a mop, that may be used for cleaning a floor. The mop of the invention typically includes a mop head and a handle pivotally connected to the mop head. The mop head also includes means for securing a mop media, typically a flexible disposable cleaning sheet, to the mop head. The mop may be passed over the floor with one side of the cleaning sheet presented for cleaning the floor. The mop head may then be inverted with the other side of the cleaning sheet presented for further cleaning of the floor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a media cutting tool for cutting a media. The media cutting tool comprises a cutting blade and a tool guide. The cutting blade is in a first plane and comprises a cutting edge. The tool guide is in a second plane. The tool guide and the cutting blade are of a similar composition and connect to form a unit. The first plane of the cutting blade and the second plane of the tool guide intersect at a connection line.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a device for cutting media, such as paper, cardboard, and metal foils. The device has a body that includes a sidewall extending from the body. The device has means for cutting the media disposed in the body. The means for cutting the media has a cutting edge having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The sidewall shrouds at least a portion of the cutting edge. The sidewall has a media contact point that is disposed away from the trailing edge in the direction of the leading edge.

Abstract: The present invention is a display housing for use with a display screen. The display housing includes a rear housing portion and a front frame connectable to the rear housing portion. The front frame defines an aperture through which the display screen is visible when the display screen is disposed between the front frame and the rear housing portion. The display housing also includes a retaining component for retaining a filter medium between the display screen and a front edge of the front frame.

Abstract: An apparatus and method provides cooling for electrochemical cells of an energy storage device. A number of electrochemical cells are arranged in a spaced apart relationship, each having opposing first and second planar surfaces and being subject to volumetric changes during charge and discharge cycling. A cooling bladder provides temperature control for the energy storage device. The cooling bladder is formed of a conformable thermally conducting material and includes inlet and outlet ports. The cooling bladder conforms to maintain contact with at least the first planar surface or the second planar surface of each cell during volumetric changes of the cells. A heat transfer medium passes between the inlet and outlet ports of the cooling bladder to control an operating temperature of the cells. The cooling bladder can be pressurized to maintain the cells of the energy storage device in a state of compression during charge and discharge cycling.
