| 20100154094 | CHILD KNEE PAD - The preferred embodiment of the inventive subject matter is a knee pad for assisting an infant in crawling. The knee pad comprises of a central portion having a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface, a means for holding the central portion on at least one knee of the infant, a character face incorporated into the convex outer surface of the central portion, and a sensor attached to at least one side of the means for holding the central portion. The sensor gets activated by a movement which simulates a sound that corresponds with the character face to assist in early recognition of particular sounds of animals. The means for holding the central portion in the knee of the infant can be a plurality of straps. At least one fastening means on the strap secures the means for holding the central portion at backside of the knee of the infant. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20080283549 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DISPENSING SOLID PHARMACEUTICAL ARTICLES - An apparatus for dispensing pharmaceutical articles includes a housing and a gas source to provide a positive pressure supply gas flow. The housing defines a hopper chamber to hold the articles, a dispensing channel fluidly connected to the hopper chamber, a drive jet outlet, and an agitation outlet. The dispensing channel has an inlet and an outlet and defines a flow path therebetween. The gas source is fluidly connected to each of the drive jet outlet and the agitation outlet to provide: a pressurized drive jet gas flow through the drive jet outlet to convey articles through the dispensing channel along the flow path; and a pressurized agitation gas flow through the agitation outlet to agitate articles in the hopper chamber. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090039097 | Device for Staging and Dispensing Tablets Useful in System and Method for Dispensing Prescriptions - A chute assembly for an object dispensing apparatus includes: a chute configured at a first end to attach to and convey objects from an object dispenser; a funnel having an inlet that merges with a second end of the chute and an outlet; a door attached to the funnel, the door being movable between a closed position, in which the door covers the funnel outlet and prevents access to objects within the funnel, and an open position, in which the door does not cover the funnel outlet and allows access to objects within the funnel; an object agitation unit configured to agitate objects in the funnel to prevent such objects from jamming in the funnel; and a locking unit associated with the door that prevents the door from moving to the open position without authorization. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090043421 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPENSING PRESCRIPTIONS - A pharmaceutical dispensing system includes: a frame having first and second opposed sides; a plurality of bins configured to house pharmaceutical tablets, each of the bins being accessible from the first side of the frame for replenishment of pharmaceutical tablets; and a plurality of chutes, each of the chutes connected to and associated with a respective one of the plurality of bins, each of the chutes being accessible from the second side of the frame for dispensing of pharmaceutical tablets. A system of this configuration can facilitate operation by physically separating replenishment tasks from dispensing tasks, thereby enabling these tasks to be performed simultaneously. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20110061545 | COOKING DEVICE WITH SLIDABLE DRAWER - A food cooking device generally comprises two sections: a cooking section and a liquid removal section. The cooking section houses and/or heats liquid for cooking the food, and the liquid removal section is operable to reduce the liquid content of the food. The cooking device may further comprise a centrifugal liquid removal device locatable within the liquid removal section. The cooking device comprises a slidable drawer for moving the centrifugal liquid removal device into and out of a housing. A frame is disposed within the slidable drawer, and the frame houses the centrifugal liquid removal device. A translational motor moves the food from the cooking section to the liquid removal section when the slidable drawer positions the centrifugal liquid device in the housing. The cooking device further comprises a hinged door that is in a closed position when the centrifugal liquid removal device is in the housing. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20100269379 | RIPPER BOOT INCLUDING A HIGH TENSILE TIP - The present invention relates to an improved ripper boot which includes a carrier section, and a ripper tooth section having a high tensile tip adapted to be press fit into a contact end thereof. In operation, the carrier section is placed over and conformed to fit over a ripper boot shank of a bulldozer, or one or more excavator loader bucket shanks. In using a press fit high tensile tip, less maintenance is required on the ripper boot during operation, which means that the machinery does not need to idle so often, saving considerable time and expense. The reason for this is that the tip is made of a high tensile metal such as tungsten which is less susceptible to wear and tear so it can be used for considerably longer periods before it becomes worn. Furthermore, hard and abrasive rock in front of the tungsten tip has been found to “explode” in its path resulting in the location of precious stones which would otherwise have been missed using conventional equipment. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20080229627 | Ripper Boot - The present invention relates to improvements to ripper boots of the type adapted to be mounted to a bulldozer tyne for use in cleaving through hard ground. The ripper boot embodied in the present invention has particular application in opal mining where sometimes extremely hard ground is to be penetrated and ripped. The ripper boot includes a replaceable ripping tooth which is secured within the boot by way of an interference fit so that during use, it does not rotate. The interference fit prevents particular matter from entering between the walls of the tooth and the associated socket. In further forms of the invention, the replaceable ripping tooth is angled upwardly with respect to the carrier so that the angle of attack of the ripping tooth is raised so that it is almost parallel with the ground. The ripper boot provides a number of benefits including improved cleaving effect, reduced chatter and drag, reduced wear and tear, and reduced load on associated machinery. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20090205243 | BAITFISH HOLDER FISHING JIG - A fishing jig able to hold a baitfish, the jig including a primary shaft having a fishing line attachment end and a bifurcated free end, the free end supporting opposed hook assemblies in a manner such that each hook assembly is offset from the primary shaft. The primary shaft is preferably long enough for the jig to be able to skewer a baitfish, to thereby hold the baitfish generally centrally, with the attachment end projecting out of the baitfish at or near its head and the bifurcated free end (and opposed hook assemblies) projecting out of the baitfish at or near its tail. | 08-20-2009 |
