Abstract:
A removably attachable platform device for use with a ladder includes a base plate, a coupler, and a pair of fasteners. The coupler is coupled to a lower face of the base plate and is configured to removably couple to a respective rung of a ladder to couple the base plate to the rung. Each fastener is coupled to a respective opposing side edge of the base plate and is configured to removably couple to a respective siderail of the ladder to couple the base plate to the siderails of the ladder. The base plate is positioned substantially parallel to a substantially horizontal surface, upon which the ladder is positioned, and thus is configured to support a user.
Abstract:
A cleat having an adjustable anchoring system configured to suspend a bumper. The cleat has a first horn located opposite a second horn. A support structure is connected to the cleat. A recess of the support structure has a ridge protruding from a wall surface of the recess. The ridge is configured to deform a portion of rope. A bore of the support structure is configured to receive a fastener. A base has a bore configured to receive the fastener. The bore of the support structure is oriented to align with the bore of the base. The base has two ramps that protrude from a wall surface of a recess of the base. The two ramps form a pocket that can have a protrusion configured to bind a portion of the rope when the fastener is tightened.
Abstract:
An improved drive system for transmitting rotational force between an imaging machine and an imaging cartridge. A first coupling member comprises a first mating structure configured to transfer or receive rotational force, and a second coupling member comprises a second mating structure configured to transfer or receive rotational force. The first coupling member comprising a locating cone in the center of said first coupling member, said locating cone adapted to locate in an opening of the second coupling member whereby the first coupling member is centered in relation to the second coupling member, and the first mating structure of the first coupling member is directed into contact with the second mating structure of the second coupling member.
Abstract:
An electronic circuit for use with a consumable imaging unit transforms the electronic circuit from a communicated state to a non communicated state, and also induces an imaging machine to read the electronic circuit's transformed information and then store the information in the imaging machine's memory. Additionally, the information of the circuit is configured to alter an identifier of the circuit. The information of the circuit is also configured to point an imaging machine to communicate with a second element of the circuit after the information determines that a first element of the circuit has been altered from its original state.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composite and oral care compositions for use in the mouth to retard the accumulation of dental plaque and/or calculus. The composite is a microaggregate comprising polymer coated, surfactant stabilized particles of a substantially insoluble metal, metal salt or metal oxide, for example zinc oxide. Also methods for retarding the accumulation of dental plaque and/or calculus are provided.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for incinerating different types of combustible waste in a cement manufacturing process. Two combustion chambers for incinerating waste are arranged in series, with first combustion chamber being a down draft chamber in which there is a downward flow of combustion gas and waste fuel to a waste and gas outlet. The second chamber is adaptable to support waste on a supporting surface incorporated in the compartment, wherein the waste is transported through the compartment from a waste inlet to a waste outlet along a circular path.
Abstract:
A magnetic license protection and tagging device includes a main body with at least one magnet. The main body has a first pocket for holding at least one of a license and a tag. The main body is foldable between an open position and a closed position. The at least one magnet is connected to the main body, and selectively militates against the main body moving from the closed position to the open position. The magnetic license protection and tagging device may be secured to a game animal by magnetic attraction. The magnetic license protection and tagging device is used to appropriately tag the game animal in compliance with hunting laws.
Abstract:
A frequency-control circuit, which is configured to receive a first signal having a first untuned frequency from a first oscillator, and to alter one or more pulses of the first signal to tune an output frequency of an output clock signal to have an average frequency at the desired target frequency. In some embodiments, the frequency-control circuit receives a signal from a single oscillator to generate a calibrated, precise, and temperature-stable clock.
Abstract:
An imaging cartridge contains a wastebin and a hopper connected to the wastebin. A flat mounting surface on the wastebin receives a first circuit board and a blocking member obstructs the placing of an unauthorized circuit board over the first circuit board. A microswitch actuating tab is formed on the body of the imaging cartridge. A hopper torque tab receptacle receives a torque tab formed in the hopper, thereby limiting lateral movement between the hopper and the wastebin. A planar wing engages a guide groove inside an imaging machine to direct the imaging cartridge into the imaging machine. Also, a dedicated grip centers a user's hand relative to the trailing end of the cartridge when inserting or removing the cartridge from the imaging machine.
Abstract:
A method of remanufacturing an imaging cartridge includes providing a consumed imaging cartridge having an outer housing that fits in a first imaging cartridge receiving cavity of a first imaging machine; removing the outer housing from the imaging cartridge; and replacing the outer housing with a second outer housing that fits in a second imaging cartridge receiving cavity of a second imaging machine.
