20090274014 | Calculating clock (multiplication figure) - The invention is a clock with of two interrelated parts. The first utilizes the clock (time measuring device/timepiece) so that the multiplication table maybe obtained therefore in an easy, orderly manner, hence division operations maybe performed in an opposite way. The second is to design the clock embodying the 1×1 to 12×12 multiplication table called a “Formation (Genesis) clock, as the 12×12 table results in number 144, which is equivalent to the total of six days, representing the days of creation and formation (genesis), as mentioned in the Holy Quran and the Bible (Old Testament). Utilizing the clock (time measuring device/timepiece) so that the multiplication table maybe obtained therefore in an easy, orderly manner, hence division operations maybe performed in an opposite way. | 11-05-2009 |
20090253786 | Synthesis, anti-allergic, anti-asthmatic and anti-inflammatory activities of CEE-1 and CEE-2 - “Enhydrazone esters of formula (I): wherein R is methyl or ethyl group have been synthesized. The compounds of formula (I) are potent inhibitors of degranulation of both mast cells and eosinophils. These compounds also suppress cytokines generation by leukocytes. These biological activities are relevant to the prevention and/or treatment of asthma, allergies and inflammatory diseases. It is known to the art that inhibitors of mast cell degranulation such as cromolyn sodium and nedocromil sodium are used in the treatment of asthma and other allergic diseases. Inhibitors of cytokine generation, such as steroids, are also useful in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases as well as asthma and allergies”. | 10-08-2009 |
20090135235 | Pagewidth Inkjet Printer with Multiple Print head arrangement - There is disclosed an inkjet printer containing an array of stationary printheads/color-cartridges aligned along the page width of the page to be printed with overlapping and non-overlap arrangement. The printhead is in the form of an elongate printhead cartridge for use in a pagewidth printer and can be attached to the ink supply units along the sides and along a back surface thereof. The pagewidth inkjet printer has many advantages over the conventional inkjet printers with moving printhead/color cartridge assembly and the prior art patent pagewidth inkjet printer cartridge formed using MEMS techniques. Alternate overlapping printhead arrangement is provided ensuring no gaps in printed images due to the low nozzle packing densities permitted by the standard inkjet technologies for adequate print coverage of the printed page. | 05-28-2009 |
20090051514 | Car Collision Global Positioning System - The present invention relates to a device and system to inform people and relevant authorities about the place of a traffic accident at the time they occur in order for required assistance to get there as soon as possible. The device transmits messages in frequencies to relevant authorities for emergencies when a road traffic accident has occurred. Sometime this happens in a remote or uninhabited area where the driver may lose his conscience or is seriously injured and he cannot inform the authorities about it and there is nobody to inform about him. This device is very useful in traveled road and prairies. The device is operated by an accurate micro switches. Which are distributed accurately throughout the vehicle. These are not operated unless the accident is very strong or the vehicle is overturned. | 02-26-2009 |
20090031827 | Smart sample Extraction Device and Method - The current invention is a device that is operated by an operation button. The user chooses the required sample and determines its quantity and then presses the button to extract the sample during several seconds in a special pot while another sample is extracted at the same time and put in the same pot to mix the samples then to heat, cool or mixed them together or shaking the sample (vibrate movement) in different speed. | 02-05-2009 |
20090027759 | Electronic Window Shading System for Houses, Transport Vehicles and the Like - There is disclosed an automatic electronic window shading (tinting) system for houses and transport vehicles such as automobiles, RV's, trains, boats and the like, to provide shading for people to protect them from exposure to harmful direct sunlight, by providing the windows of said houses and transport vehicles with display elements and light (photocell/photovoltaic) sensors. The system comprises liquid crystal, electrochromic, suspended particle device (SPD), or NanoChromics display (NCD) element attached to a part of a transparent body (such as the windows) and a liquid crystal, electrochromic, suspended particle device (SPD), or NanoChromics display (NCD) controlling semiconductor element controlling the operation of the display element. | 01-29-2009 |
20090021798 | High Speed Flatbed Scanner Comprising Digital Image-Capture Module with Two-Dimensional Optical Image Photo-Sensor or Digital Camera - The present invention is a flatbed scanner operating with a digital image capture module comprising two-dimensional (2D) optical image photo-sensor and in particular with a digital camera or digital video camera. The present invention further relates to flatbed scanners and means and methods of supporting cameras, and particularly, although not exclusively, to a flatbed scanner housing for holding a digital camera to allow the digital camera to act as a document capture device in obtaining digital images suitable for downloading to a personal computer or other computer peripherals such as a printer. The scanner incorporates an image capturing module comprising 2D image photosensor and assembly such as flash light, electronic circuit, and software inside the flatbed scanner box to function like an image capturing module where said scanner box functions like the camera body with an internal lens internal. | 01-22-2009 |
20080203091 | Flipping Trash Can - The present invention relates to a new design for a trash can designed to be used in fast food restaurants, in particular. Most trash cans have lids that need to be opened manually, whereas the current invention has a pedal that when stepped on, is used to open the lid. A tray loaded with rubbish will be laid on a board that is placed at a certain angle. When the foot pedal, which is attached to the lid by a spring, is released the board moves and touches the tray at the tip, which flips the tray over and causes all the rubbish to fall in the hole designed for the trash bag. | 08-28-2008 |
