摘要:
The invention described herein provides for a simple, economical system and method for reducing environmental release of dental amalgamous mercury from teeth caused by cremation of corpses. The invention controls and reduces the amount of mercury released using a pre-crematorial and non-disfiguring system and method. The system of the invention can include a dental containment and applicator delivery system to apply a curable thermal protectant composition onto the teeth. The composition coating significantly inhibits the extent of thermal destruction of the tooth per se including its amalgam filling content.

A cooling system includes a console and a tissue cooling device such as a head-cooling device. An operator applies the head-cooling device to the head of a patient at risk for ischemic injury. The console provides a cooling fluid to a fluid circulation space located between the cooling device and the patient's head under a positive gage pressure. Direct contact between the cooling fluid and the patient's head provides a relatively rapid induction of systemic hypothermia in the patient, thereby minimizing or preventing ischemic injury in the patient. The console also removes air from a channel disposed about an inner rim of the cooling device, using a negative gage pressure. Such removal of the air from the channel seals the rim of the cooling device to the head of the patient, including portions of the channel in contact with hair of the patient's head, and minimizes leaking of the cooling fluid beyond the rim of the cooling device.

An umbrella retaining device may be incorporated into or integrally attached to a vehicle seat from the vehicle factory and may employ a compartment or holder that defines a ventilation and drain hole to drain water from a wet umbrella. An umbrella compartment may further comprise a flap pivoting along a bottom edge of the compartment, a gusset on each side of the flap, and a snap or magnetic closure device proximate to the flap's upper edge. Alternatively, an umbrella retaining compartment may angularly lie within a bottom portion of the seat or seat supporting portion, such as a front seat side shield. The compartment may have a cover, such as a pivoting cover. Alternatively, the umbrella retaining member may be a vertical tubular restraining member with a top, angled opening and a bottom opening. A support loop may lie below the tubular member to provide vertical support.

A multi-function printer device is configured for use with job control sheets having machine readable indicia thereon, the multi-function printer device including a housing; an imaging area supported by the housing; a scanner supported by the housing to selectively scan at the imaging area; a print engine supported by the same housing; a control keypad supported by the housing; computer network interface hardware supported by the housing and adapted to be coupled to a computer network; and a controller coupled to the scanner, print engine, control keypad and computer network interface hardware and configured to control the print engine, and the scanner to provide a plurality of predefined printing, scanning, and copying functions, the functions including a function to receive a digital document from the computer network via the network interface hardware and to print one or more copies, a number of the functions being selectable from the computer network, but only a subset of the number of functions being selectable using the control keypad, the controller being configured to recognize when a job control sheet is scanned at the imaging area and to perform one of the functions in response to the machine readable indicia, wherein any of the number of functions selectable from the computer network can also be specified using a job control sheet. A method of manufacturing a multi-function printer device includes configuring a controller to recognize when a job control sheet is scanned at the imaging area and to perform one of a number of functions in response to the machine readable indicia, wherein any of the number of functions selectable from a computer network can also be specified using a job control sheet.

A media input tray for an imaging device such as a laser printer is configured to heat media disposed in the tray in order to reduce potential curl of the media caused by image processing in the imaging device. In a preferred embodiment, the input tray is configured with a flexible printed circuit having conductive traces for dissipating heat in response to an electric current. The flexible circuit is coupled to a power supply in the imaging device to enable a continuous warming of media in the tray, independent of any imaging operations by the imaging device. A method of image processing includes providing a heating device in a media input tray of an image processing device, and heating the media disposed in the input tray with the heating device such that media curl, caused by image processing operations, is reduced.

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and arrangements facilitate the upkeep of an electronic device. In certain described implementations, one or more analyses and/or determinations may be completed with regard to one or more replaceable issues. If the replaceable issue(s) are determined to be deficient (including potentially deficient), then the electronic device may produce one or more upkeep-related items to facilitate an operator's upkeep thereof. Exemplary replaceable issues may be related to consumable item(s), maintenance items(s), ability items(s), etc. Exemplary upkeep-related items may include order-related items, reports, etc. Exemplary order-related items may include order forms, discount coupons and codes, network address and information combinations, etc. In an exemplary described printing device implementation, a printing device is capable of determining that at least one consumable item or maintenance item is at or near a point of being exhausted or worn out and providing an order-related item that refers to the exhausted/worn out item.
