Abstract: A switching system including a switch activation pin, a switch, and a switch connector is provided. The switch activation pin mounts to an arm that pivotally mounts a door to a body of a device. The switch activation pin moves with the arm when the door is opened or closed. The switch mounts to the device to control a component of the device. The switch connector mounts to the device to activate the switch based on a position of the switch activation pin.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a liquid dispenser includes an outlet member that defines a liquid supply conduit and a nozzle that includes an exit orifice, wherein the nozzle is disposed over an end of the outlet member. A liquid compression path is defined by the nozzle and the outlet member, wherein the liquid compression path includes a liquid compression chamber that supplies liquid from the liquid supply conduit to the exit orifice. The nozzle is adjustable between a first spray position for projecting a liquid spray having a first average droplet size and a second spray position for projecting a liquid spray having a first average droplet size. In the first spray position the liquid compression chamber has a first volume and in the second spray position the liquid compression chamber has a second volume. Preferably, the liquid spray is formed without a swirl chamber.

Abstract: A navigation device for navigating from one location to another includes a GPS receiver for receiving GPS signals, a cellular receiver for receiving cellular signals, a memory, a processor, a display unit and a connection unit for receiving navigation data. The navigation data includes geographic and cellular provider information pertaining to the locations where cellular coverage is available by a particular provider. This information is processed by the processor to display route instructions to a user in which cellular coverage will be maintained.

Abstract: A hinge including a device bracket, a door bracket, a first arm, a second arm, and a closure device is provided. The first arm mounts to the device bracket at a first pin and to the door bracket at a second pin. The second arm mounts to the device bracket at a third pin and to the door bracket at a fourth pin. The third pin is closer to an axis of rotation of a door than the first pin when the door is in a closed position. The closure device includes a closure device body mounted to move with the second arm, a rod mounted within the closure device body, a spring, a spring retainer mounted to the rod, and a nut mounting the rod to the device bracket. The spring is mounted between the spring retainer and the closure device body to exert a force on the second arm.

Abstract: A compass, comprising a head portion and first and second leg members. Each of the first and second leg members include a first end and a second end, the first end of the first leg member and the first end of the second leg members are rotatably engaged with the head portion at different locations on the head portion. A post member is meshedly engaged with the first end of the first and second leg members, and an adjusting wheel is threadedly engaged with the post member. The rotation of the adjusting member results in a corresponding movement in the post member. The movement of the post member causes a rotation of the first end of the first leg member relative to the second leg member.
