Abstract:
The present invention provides a horn system configured to electrically activate a vehicle's horn based upon the operational state of the vehicle. The horn system is configured to detect a shift from one gear to another gear on a gearbox of a vehicle, wherein a switch is actuated to transmit an electrical signal that is indicative of a selected transmission gear. A microprocessor having an electronic module is configured to determine the selected transmission gear and sound a horn of a vehicle to indicate to others of vehicle movement to ensure safety. The microprocessor transmits a signal to the horn to produce one honk when the vehicle is activated. The microprocessor transmits a signal to sound the horn twice if the gearbox is shifted into drive. The microprocessor transmits a signal to sound the horn thrice if the gearbox is shifted into reverse.
Abstract:
A barrier that includes attack resistant pane(s) (see DEFINITIONS section). In this way, a person behind the barrier can be protected when they are outside. More specifically, the person behind the barrier is protected, at least to some extent, from both: (i) vehicular attacks; and (ii) blast (for example, bombs) and/or ballistic (for example, bullet) attacks. Also, the protected person can see what is happening across the barrier because of the attack-resistant pane(s). Also, if the barrier is unanchored then it can be moved from place to place, for example, by heavy equipment, so that the same barrier can be re-deployed at different outdoor locations (or indoor locations) on an as-needed basis. Preferably, the barrier also includes framing pieces that secure the attack-resistant pane(s) to the body of the barrier, with the framing pieces being covered on one side by an attack-resistant material (preferably, hardened steel).

Abstract:
A thin flat door 1 can be opened up at the scored line 10 putting the card 7 in next to the stem 4 will guide it. The back 2 is there for added support. The door has a flap 11 it is attached to stem. Use the notch 6 to catch the sleeve 8 edge for no side to side movement. Operating this Loader, you will then push 9 card down with finger, holding onto the hold tab 5. By gently pulling on the pull tab 3 and at the same time holding onto the sleeve, remove Loader.
Abstract:
A combined locating, tracking and communications system (10), including a server (12), a plurality of area transceivers (14) configured to communicate with the server (12) and having an associated reception range (34), a plurality of zone transceivers (16) configured to communicate with the area transceiver (14), a plurality of tags (18) configured to communicate with the area transceiver (14) and the plurality of zone transceivers (16), and a plurality of portable communicators (20) configured to communicate with the area transceiver (14) and the plurality of zone transceivers (16).
Abstract:
A reminder card having a printed message is printed directly on the mailing envelope on the rear lower portion of the envelope and is perforated for easy removal. The reminder card is slipped into a window pocket on the front face of the envelope to display the reminder message. A base for forming the envelope into an upstanding display is formed by bending a flap on the bottom rear of the envelope upward into an arc and adhering the flap to a gummed flange formed from the outer edge of the sealing flap of the envelope to create a triangular shaped display capable of remaining upright. A magnetic strip glued to the envelope allows the envelope to be secured to a vertical ferrous surface.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method and apparatus the delivery of ready-to-cook foodstuffs, such as cookie dough eggs, in response to a consumer's order or selection. The system contemplates obtaining a consumer's order for ready-to-cook dough eggs, and storing consumer's order data in a memory of a point-of-sale computer system. The ordering data is then displayed on a point-of-sale system for fulfillment by a service associate, who assembles and packages the consumer's order in a carton in accordance with the order displayed. In the particular dough egg embodiment, the “eggs” are placed in numbered recesses in a clam-shell carton and an order fulfillment sheet is printed an attached. The order fulfillment sheet includes a listing of the variety of dough egg that has been placed in each of the numbered recesses in the container.
Abstract:
A cannula assembly and a medical system. The cannula assembly includes a cannula, a capnometer, a reservoir, a pathway, and a barrier. The cannula is positionable on the face of a patient. The capnometer measures carbon dioxide gas concentration and is operably connected to the cannula. The reservoir is adapted for containing a known concentration of carbon dioxide gas. The pathway connects carbon dioxide gas in the reservoir with the capnometer. The barrier has a first state preventing gas flow along the pathway and has a second state allowing gas flow along the pathway. The medical system includes the cannula assembly and includes a drug delivery assembly. The drug delivery assembly is adapted for administering a drug to the patient according to a drug delivery schedule based at least in part on the carbon dioxide gas concentration of the exhaled air of the patient as measured by the capnometer.
Abstract:
A process is described for the preparation f electrostatically-linked, aliphatic- or alicyclic-substituted anionic or cationic polysaccharide gels from readily available macroporous ionic polysaccharide chromatographic media, such as diethylaminoethyl (DEAE), quaternary aminoethyl (QAE) and sulfopropyl (SP) substituted polysaccharide gels. These novel gels are used for the isolation, recovery and purification of non-polar extractives using one or more extracting solvents from the group of lower alcohols, ketones, and water. The non-polar extractives may be alk(n)lyresorcinols, steroid, triterpenoid, cardiac glycosides and saponins, steryl ferulates and other phenolic acid conjugates, flavonoids, lipids, alcohol-soluble antimicrobials, prolamines or other alcohol-soluble proteolipid complexes.
