    摘要: The present invention provides different size breathing masks in which single size filtration shells are attached to a single size face contacting member at the same periphery. A single size face contacting member has one, or more than one size, inner breathing opening with a narrower cut profile in the nose area than in the mouth and chin area. Such different size breathing masks would fit and provide an effective seal for more than one size of wearer.

    摘要: A deformable, pad-type filter is provided which does not have a frame but instead uses two filter elements, at least one having a non-planar configuration in a stress-free condition, which are preferably joined along an outer edge to form an inner chamber. A connector is located in and attached to one of the filter elements, the connector having a rigid connector platform which projects radially outward from the connector to enable a user's fingers to grasp the perimeter of the connector platform to twist or otherwise manipulate the filter for connection or disconnection to a respirator facepiece without damage to the filter material.

    摘要: A method for controlling distribution and access to an information product, said method comprising the steps of: superposing a utility-reducing masking effect on said information product; controlling the presence, absence and/or permanence of said masking effects by the outcome of an interactive communication between a provider and a receiver of said information product. The term information product includes books, video recordings, audio recordings, music, images and multimedia works. The masking effects described in the present invention are of a generally interfering nature and can be superposed on the information object as an overlay, interruption, interference, discontinuity, disturbance or disorientation. The purpose of imposing a masking effect is to derive a masked version of the information product for preview purposes that can be readily distributed to interested customers in an unrestricted manner. The masking effect is removable after conditions for purchase and/or other authorization criteria are met.
