When the upper ring jewel is depressed and rotated about a track, located within the ring head base, into a locked position, the sensor may be activated, causing the control circuitry and transducers to generate a loud audio sound to deter potential attackers or alert third-parties of a potential danger. | 08-27-2015 |

20080209922 | Restriction in Vapor Injection Line - A refrigerant system can be operated in either vapor injection mode or unloaded mode. A restriction to the vapor injection flow is incorporated into the refrigerant system. The restriction is placed on the vapor injection line upstream of a point where the injection line meets the unloader line. In this case, the flow is restricted for the vapor injection mode of operation to a desired level. However, when the refrigerant system operates in the unloaded mode, there is no restriction to the by-pass flow, which is beneficial to the system performance in this mode of operation. In one of the embodiments, the restriction area can be adjusted to achieve the best performance during the vapor injection mode of operation in relation to the operating conditions. | 09-04-2008 |

20100141983 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORKED PRINT MANAGEMENT - A system, method, and apparatus for networked print management without the presence of print servers. The system, method, and apparatus allow a user to submit documents to a multifunction device for printing. The multifunction device (MFD) is in communication with one or more other MFDs over an application server. The application server acts as a request broker to allow one MFD to print a document on another MFD. The user accesses the MFD to view the submitted documents. The one or more other MFDs send any additional documents to the accessed MFD. The user selects one or more of the user's documents for printing by the accessed MFD. The user can also select the user's documents on the accessed MFD and forward them to a second MFD for printing. | 06-10-2010 |

20090025237 | Hands free chalk line snapper - A chalk line marking device includes a chalk line that is held in a storing, dispensing and retracting device. The device comprises a housing and an element for gripping the chalk line when it is extended from the dispensing device and lifting it from the workpiece surface at a point remote from the device. A spring mechanism causes the gripping element to suddenly snap back to its original position, when released, thereby causing the chalk line to leave a linear chalk mark on the workpiece surface. The device may also comprise a gripping element arranged within the housing that includes a plunger responsive to movement of the housing, for lifting and suddenly releasing the gripping element. A worker can extend the chalk line with one hand while holding the dispensing device in the other hand. The hand holding the dispensing device can actuate the gripping element with the thumb, for example, of that same hand while the other hand holds the extended end of the chalk line in position, thereby not requiring a third hand to snap the chalk line. | 01-29-2009 |

20160067535 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING A FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM - At least one embodiment comprises a testing system for a fire suppression system which can comprise at least one fluid conduit having a first end and a second end with an isolating valve and at least one pressure regulating valve coupled to the conduit. A tap is coupled to the fluid conduit, and is positioned between the first end and the second end and be for selectively allowing fluid to flow out from the fluid conduit to allow fluid to flow past the pressure regulating valve. The process for testing a fire suppression system can comprise the following steps: connecting at least one first valve to a fluid conduit, disconnecting sprinkler heads from the fluid conduit, flowing water through the pressure regulating valve determining the flow rate through the pressure regulating valve, and determining the pressure downstream of the pressure regulating valve, stopping testing, and then reporting the results. | 03-10-2016 |
