Abstract:
An earplug container is combined with a reusable clip such as a snap bolt fastener and the clip is rigidly attached to a wall of the container, for example by an E-clip. The resulting clip-on earplug container provides a secure and compact earplug case for attachment to the exterior of clothing of an active user such as a lumberjack or tree trimmer. Other exemplary embodiments are also described.
Abstract:
Described herein is an apparatus for treating a surface defect on a target surface. The apparatus includes a pump having a housing that defines a chamber for storage of a surface defect treatment composition and an applicator having an orifice in fluid communication with the chamber. The pump and the applicator are positioned such that the pump housing is manually compressible to directly deliver surface defect treatment composition from the chamber to a target surface defect on a surface by way of the orifice.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprising a fluidic cartridge including a first and second substrate and an intermediate interlayer is provided. The intermediate interlayer is sealedly interfaced between the first and second substrates to form therein a plurality of channels of capillary dimensions. The apparatus further includes an open reservoir, a pump chamber and a reaction chamber. The open reservoir and reaction chamber are each connected to the pump chamber through the channels. The open reservoir and reaction chamber are in fluid communication with each other via the channels. The apparatus further comprises a fluid flow controlling structure, formed in the fluidic cartridge, which restricts a flow of a fluid through the reaction chamber to one direction. The apparatus further comprises a linear actuator for providing a pumping action in the pump chamber to pump the fluid to flow between the open reservoir and reaction chamber via the plurality of channels and pump chamber.
Abstract:
An inspection plug assembly includes an elastomeric outer sleeve which may be compressed into the skin of an insulating jacket for forming a seal between the assembly and the jacket by mechanically anchoring the assembly to the jacket, without requiring the use of adhesives. The plug includes pull tabs to facilitate removal of the plug from the sleeves. A lanyard may be attached to the plug and the jacket without disturbing the sealing function.
Abstract:
A system and method for assembling a full interaction record for a meeting with non-realtime interaction is disclosed. The system and method may include recording a first plurality of data associated with the meeting to produce a meeting record at a first time, and determining whether to insert a placeholder in the meeting record at a point in the meeting record.
Abstract:
The present system and method are directed to a computerized system for selection, preparation and management of forms. The system and method are especially advantageous in a call center environment dealing with a large volume of customers and multiple forms. The system and method include the display of scripted questions to users at work stations that elicit the input of data regarding the customer, the data being utilized by the system to select, prepare and print relevant forms. A uniform interface including an omnibus script is provided to all users, and the system obviates the need for user selection of applicable forms for particular customers.
