摘要:
The present invention provides a method of making a decorated multilayer glass structure using a single firing step that includes that use of a crystallizing glass enamel composition that contains ingredients to ensure the complete burnout of the organic portion of the composition upon firing and bending of a mated pair of glass sheets. A benefit of the composition is that when applied to one sheet of a mated pair of glass sheets, it burns out completely during firing and bending of the pair. The presence of high levels of oxidizers in the composition ensures a supply of oxygen to enable combustion of the organic vehicle while firing the glass sheets and prior to the sintering of the enamel composition to only one glass sheet in a mated pair of decorated or colored glass sheets.

A wall-mounted container capable of storing in bulk both liquid and powdered forms of standard laundry products, such as detergents, bleaches and fabric softeners. The container has a wide opening at the top for receiving fluid laundry products. The top may be closed with a tight fitting lid which may also serve as a stand to support a cup for receiving the dispensed products. The bottom of the container is a funnel shape to allow the fluid contents to flow downwards into a valve located at the apex of the funnel. A standard ball valve with a wide aperture is capable of passing both liquid and powdered materials while preventing any leakage when closed.

A stent assembly comprises a rotatable sheath and a stent. The assembly is crimped or reduced in diameter prior to loading onto a catheter by one or more crimping apparatuses. One crimping apparatus comprises a blade having a stepped configuration. A mandrel may be used to support the assembly during crimping. The mandrel may have an expandable region. A protective sheath may be used to protect the stent during crimping and to redirect the crimping forces to desired locations about the assembly.

A data communications troubleshooting device isolates the direction of signal interference relative to a cable splitter. The device includes a panel and a plurality of connection ports coupled to the panel. Each of the connection ports is positioned such that the panel replaces a signal splitter positioned in a splitter housing. The connection ports include an input port and a plurality of output ports. Each of a plurality of switches is coupled to an associated one of the output ports to selectively prevent transmission of a signal between the input port and the output port whereby signal loss is detectable as being related to a specific one of the output ports through manipulation of the switches.

A portable device (114) includes a power source (120), a volatile memory (118) requiring refreshing to avoid data loss, and a memory management module (116). The volatile memory (118) is operably coupled to the power source (120) for power. The memory management module (116) is operably coupled to the volatile memory (118). The memory management module (116) is also adapted to refresh the volatile memory (118) at a refresh rate which causes refresh-based errors and to correct the refresh-based errors. Also disclosed is a method for reduced power consumption by a volatile memory requiring refreshing to avoid data loss in which such a volatile memory is refreshed (122) at a refresh rate. All defective bits are detected (124) at the refresh rate. An error correction code is selected (126) for correcting the defective bits.

A coin pick up wheel for a coin receiving and validating apparatus, said pick up wheel comprising a disc-like body having a plurality of circumferentially spaced coin receiving recesses each recess including a chamfered edge portion extending at least partially about an upper edge thereof, said disc-like body having a central hub portion and an annular outer portion, said pick up wheel characterized in that said disc-like body is formed from a cross linked high molecular weight polyethylene polymer or co-polymer and further characterized in that said annular outer portion tapers convergently towards an outer edge of said disc-like body.
摘要:
An automatic coin machine including a coin acceptor and identifier and a removable vault. The vault is adapted to receive coins from the coin acceptor and identifier and is adapted to be removed to permit counting of the coins. The machine includes a vault housing for receiving a corresponding vault, a code definer associated with the vault and a code sensor. The code sensor is adapted to detect the code of the code definer to provide a vault security identification system.

An electrical outlet system for includes a female electrical outlet that is electrically coupled to a power source. The female electrical outlet has a pair of contacts. An adapter is removably coupled to the female electrical outlet and the adapter is positioned in each of the contacts. A plug is provided that has a pair of terminals. Each of the terminals is inserted through the adapter such that each of the terminals is electrically coupled to an associated one of the contacts. The adapter inhibits the terminals from falling out of the contacts.
