20100097035Life safety device with extended shelf life - A life safety device includes a battery assembly with a rechargeable battery. Extended shelf life is achieved by annually initiating an over-discharge protection mode in which a battery protection circuit prevents current flow from the battery. The life safety device remains in the over-discharge protection mode until the device is connected to a charging power source at the time of installation. The battery assembly then exits the protection mode and enters its normal mode of operation.04-22-2010

20090194533CLOSURE WITH ADDITIVE RESERVOIR - A closure with an additive reservoir is mounted on a container for a consumable liquid such as a beverage liquid or health drink. The closure has three components; a base, which includes the additive reservoir; a spout mounted on the base, and a plunger received in the additive reservoir. Upon depressing the plunger, an additive in the reservoir is released into the consumable liquid and upon moving the spout from a first position on the base to a second position on the base, a passageway through the base is opened so that the consumable liquid can flow to the consumer. Preferably, the additive chamber is mounted in the support column of the base with the passageway disposed between the additive chamber and the support column.08-06-2009

20110229653METHOD OF MAKING A LASER ENGRAVED EMBOSSING ROLL - The present invention is a laser engravable embossing roll exhibiting improved wear characteristics and life span through the use of an epoxy resin based material Specifically, the embossing roll according to the present invention can be produced using standard laser engraving techniques that have heretofore been applied to rubbers. Rubber rolls, while produced significantly faster than engraved steel rolls, have the disadvantage of poor life span due to wear. The epoxy based resin rolls of the present invention overcome these disadvantages by being quickly and easily produced using laser engraving but exhibiting significantly improved wear characteristics.09-22-2011
