20080211182 | Game die with face cavity-insertable game chips and methods for use thereof - A game die having a chassis with face cavities into which game chips are removably insertable. The game chips have differentiable insignia, which may be designs, numbers, letters, colors, etc. Play generally involves inserting one or more game chips into faces cavities of the die, specifying one or more target insignia, a player rolling the die, and that player winning chips if the insignia which comes up on the die roll matches one of the target insignia. | 09-04-2008 |
20090258568 | Multi-function yo-yo - A multi-function yo-yo switchable between operation as a traditional yo-yo, a free-spin yo-yo, and a centrifugal-clutch yo-yo. Within one or both of the fly disks is one or more rotational-speed governors, and about the axle is a cylindrical axle sleeve which is rotatable about the axle. Each governor is spring-biased to an inwards position the governor contacts the axle sleeve, forcing the axle sleeve to rotate with the fly disks and axle. However, when the yo-yo spins sufficiently rapidly, the governors are thrown by centrifugal force to a radially-outwards position so as not to be in contact with the axle sleeve so that the axle sleeve may rotate independently of the fly disks. A function control switch locks the governors in the inwards position or the outwards position or allows the position to be controlled by centrifugal force. | 10-15-2009 |
20120214381 | Mini-shower bath toy for single-handed adult use and double-handed child play - A bath apparatus for play and/or bathing having a reservoir, a plurality of substantially co-planar bottom release holes, and a top control aperture. Upon submerging the bath toy, water flows into the reservoir through the release holes as air escapes through the control aperture. When the control aperture is sealed with a thumb or finger and the toy is raised from the water, water in the reservoir is retained in the reservoir. When the control aperture is unsealed, water in the reservoir flows out through the release holes. The control aperture is offset from the top of the reservoir by approximately 12° to be ergonomically located and oriented to allow a thumb to produce an airtight seal when the reservoir is held in a single adult-size hand, or to allow a finger to produce an airtight seal when the reservoir is held by child-size hands in both hands. | 08-23-2012 |
20150031266 | Integrally-formed poseable figure toy with suction cups - An integrally-formed poseable figure toy having suction cups which in a preferred embodiment provides an immediate visual association with a human figure, the suction cups representing the head, hands and feet. The hands and feet suction cups are co-planar and the molding parting lines are located at the perimeters of the faces of the hands and feet suction cups. The toy is made of a flexible material having a rigidity such that it can be posed on a horizontal surface with substantial vertical span, even when in an oblique, i.e., non-upright, pose. The suction cups may have different sizes and produce different pitches when pulled from a surface. By having a first subset of the co-planar limb suction cups on shorter limbs extending from a first end of the body and a second subset of the co-planar limb suction cups on longer limbs extending from a second end of said body opposite said first end, and having the longer limbs being substantially flexible, centripetal forces generated when the toy is thrown and rotates about its center of mass move said second subset of suction cups away from the suction cup plane and facilitate the thrown toy attaching to a smooth surface upon impact. | 01-29-2015 |

20080214075 | Finishings For Textile Fibers and Fabrics to Give Hydrophobic Oleophobic and Self-Cleaning Surfaces - Methods for coating fibers and material to achieve particular properties such as water repellency, oil repellency and self-cleaning, are provided. These properties are achieved by pre-treating the fibers or material and subsequently coating with prepolymers and nanoparticles. The prepolymers are partly substituted with hydrocarbon groups or fluorocarbon groups. The nanoparticles may have surfaces treated with hydrocarbons or fluorocarbons. The prepolymers are fixed and hardened by irradiation with light of a wavelength in the UV or visible regions. | 09-04-2008 |

20080208430 | Method And Device As Well As Computer Program For Controlling An Internal Combustion Engine - A method and a device as well as a computer program for controlling an internal combustion engine are provided, a torque model being used within the framework of calculating instantaneous variables and/or actuating variables. A correction of a basic value determined under standard conditions takes place in the process. In addition, to further improve the accuracy of the model, the efficiency for the conversion of the chemical into mechanical energy by which the optimum torque value is corrected, is determined at least as a function of a variable characterizing the combustion center point and a variable characterizing the opening instant of a discharge-side gas-exchange valve. | 08-28-2008 |

20100005826 | Convection barrier - A convection barrier for a freezer is disclosed. The convection barrier may include a foil having at least one opening therein, storage and transport means for storing and moving the foil so as to transport the at least one opening to a desired position allowing access through the at least one opening to the interior of the freezer at the desired position and tensioning means for continuously keeping the foil in a tensioned state. | 01-14-2010 |
20100086440 | System and method for robotic storage of microplates - In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a robotic storage system for storing microplates carrying a plurality of sample tubes is provided and may comprise a freezer room having a plurality of freezing units and a first robot being capable of removing a microplate from and moving a microplate into a freezing unit. The first robot may be further capable of transferring the microplate to a processing station, where the microplates are stored in the freezing units such that a plurality of microplates are arranged one above the other in a microplate recipient. The robotic storage system may also include at least one processing room and means for thermally separating the processing room from the freezer room. Each processing room may include a processing station having at least one tube transfer module as well as a second robot for moving the microplates between the microplate recipients and the at least one tube transfer module. The first robot may be designed such that it is only capable of removing a microplate recipient from and moving it into a said freezing unit as well as of transferring it from a freezing unit to a processing station or vice versa. | 04-08-2010 |
