Abstract:
A device for providing cleansing composition to the inner surface of a wall of an enclosure with a fluid, the device having: (a) a first fluid spray bar having an interior space for receiving fluid from a source of the fluid and for spraying the inner surface of the wall of the enclosure. The first fluid spray bar has at least a first spray hole through which cleansing composition may be sprayed, the first spray hole being in fluid communication with the interior space of the spray bar. Additionally, the first spray hole provides a first tangential spray.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a chemical vapor deposition coating, a chemical vapor deposition article, and a chemical vapor deposition method. The coating, article, and method involve thermal decomposition of dimethylsilane to achieve desired surface properties.
Abstract:
A packaged construction material includes a housing, a roll of construction material such as a roll of building wall sheathing fabric located within the housing and a hanging device engaged with the housing for hanging the packaged construction material on the belt or other article of clothing worn by a construction worker or on a scaffolding or other support structure. A kit including the packaged rolled construction material and a sufficient amount of fluid membrane to be used on combination with the rolled construction material to impart a secondary weather barrier to a building wall substrate is also provided.
Abstract:
A phototherapy light cap is a flexible, generally hemispherical cap having a light source to supply suitable dosage requirements of current and future light therapies. The phototherapy light cap may also include a rechargeable battery source, a light source or an array of light sources, a light diffuser and an interface to a recharging source that may be a docking station. A phototherapy light cap may alternatively be an insert for any commercial head dressing, preferably adapted for convenient recharging. Combining the use of a phototherapy light cap with gelatinized therapeutic agents provides a suitable treatment technique for a scalp utilizing phototherapy, heat and any suitable combination of active ingredients such as minoxidil.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for computer voice-recognition and in particular, computer voice recognition for user voice feedback systems for sales and E-mail applications.
Abstract:
An implantable access port for use in transferring a fluid transdermally between an external fluid storage or dispensing device and a site within a patient's body is disclosed. The access port includes a base, a bowl-shaped reservoir defined within the base by a smooth surfaced wall, and a septum secured to the base and enclosing the reservoir within the base. The access port also includes a reservoir outlet defined centrally within the reservoir. The bowl-shaped reservoir is defined by a continuous smooth-surfaced curvilinear wall. The reservoir may thus be sized and shaped as a parabola, or may be hemispherical or semi-hemispherical in cross-section. The reservoir outlet is defined at a center point on the bottom of the reservoir wall, may be partially or fully recessed within the bottom of the reservoir wall, and is also defined in the base tangentially with respect to the bottom of the reservoir wall. The access port also has an outlet passageway defined within the base and extending in communication with the reservoir outlet and an external opening defined in the exterior of the base.
Abstract:
A spark plug electrode is disclosed. The electrode comprises, based upon the total weight of the electrode, about 83 wt. % to about 96.8 wt. % copper, about 3.0 wt. % to about 9.0 wt. % chromium, and about 0.2 wt. % to about 8.0 wt. % niobium. A spark plug is also disclosed. The spark plug comprises a shell disposed in contact with an insulator body. A center electrode is disposed at a lower end of the insulator body. A side electrode is also disposed at a lower end of the shell. This side electrode is coaxially aligned with the center electrode. At least one of the center electrode and the side electrode comprises a core composition of about 83 wt. % to about 96.8 wt. % copper, about 3.0 wt. % to about 9.0 wt. % chromium and about 0.2% to about 8.0% niobium, based upon the total weight of the composition. A resistor section is also disposed in electrical communication with the center electrode.
