20100230942 | Solid propellant/liquid type hybrid gas generator - A gas generator comprising a housing having a mixing chamber and a pyrotechnic charge in the housing. A container having a liquid therein is disposed in the housing and has an open end and a closed end, with an end cap closing the open end and having a piston portion removably connected thereto and being movable within the liquid container to pressurize the liquid therein when the piston portion is separated from the end cap. The piston portion is positioned to be exposed to combustion gas from the pyrotechnic charge when it is ignited and is separable from the end cap when the combustion gas exceeds a predetermined pressure. In another embodiment, the liquid container may be a collapsible tube. The closed end of the liquid container has a weakened portion constructed to be opened when the pressure of the liquid in the container exceeds a predetermined pressure. The pyrotechnic charge and the weakened portion of the liquid container are in fluid communication with the mixing chamber so that combustion gases from the ignition of the pyrotechnic charge mix with and vaporize the liquid in the mixing chamber to generate a non-toxic, low temperature, low particulate inflation gas. | 09-16-2010 |

20090077779 | Memorial objects incorporating cremation ash - A memorial object cast in a mold and formed of a concrete mix having up to about 50% sand, up to about 25% aggregate, up to about 25% cement, and water. In one embodiment of the invention cremation ash is incorporated in the mix up to about 60% of the mix, with the percentage of at least one of the other ingredients, preferably sand and/or aggregate, being reduced corresponding to the amount of cremation ash added. In another embodiment, a cavity is formed in the object for receiving and holding a separate container holding cremation ashes. Various additives can be added to the mix, either alone or in combination, including an accelerator, an air entrainer, a plasticizer, and glass fibers. One or more of a motion detector, voice-activated recording, water effects and/or an illumination device can be mounted in the object. | 03-26-2009 |

20130087146 | VENTILATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A ventilator includes a compressor, a storage vessel, a valve assembly communicating with the compressor, the storage vessel, and an inhalation line. A controller directs the valve assembly between a storage configuration where ventilation gas is delivered from the compressor into the storage vessel, and a delivery configuration where ventilation gas is delivered from the storage vessel to the inhalation line. The controller is coupled to a pressure sensor for detecting a first pressure within the storage vessel when the valve assembly is directed to the delivery configuration, and detecting subsequent pressure while ventilation gas is delivered from the storage vessel to the inhalation line, the controller determining the volume of ventilation gas delivered to the patient based at least in part on the difference between the first pressure and the subsequent pressure. | 04-11-2013 |

20100017305 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WINE TASTING AND THE MARKETING OF WINE, AND WINE PACKAGING USEFUL THEREWITH - New and unique systems and methods for distributing, marketing, and for customer identification, as shown in FIG. | 01-21-2010 |
20110293793 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WINE TASTING AND THE MARKETING OF WINE, AND WINE PACKAGING USEFUL THEREWITH - New and unique systems and methods for distributing and marketing of wine are disclosed, and associated wine packaging. In one embodiment, several single-serving containers of differing wines are provided to a customer in a single package. Each individual container is associated with a reference code, but otherwise has no visible indicia to identify the particular wine contained therein. A data sheet, provided with the package or separately provided such as at an on-line website, identifies each wine by its reference code and provides particulars about the wine and for the placing of quantity orders, as desired. The customer would thus be able to objectively taste and compare a variety of wines in a convenient manner, identify each individual sample by its unique reference code after tasting, and further conveniently order wines of identified preference. | 12-01-2011 |
