| 20080296975 | BACK-UP POWER SYSTEM - A substantially uninterruptible backup power system to provide power to common household appliances comprises a rechargeable battery, a trickle-charging circuit to keep the battery fully charged at all times from the receptacle power, a DC to AC inverter to supply standard AC line voltage from the battery to the lamp, a relay switch, controlled by main power voltage, to switch to the backup system when main power fails, and a timing circuit to optimize a voltage output of the system based on current battery voltage and a desired time period for the voltage output. The system can be set to operate only when the appliance is turned on, which optimizes the current and power required to provide backup power to the appliance for a maximum period of time. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20090057601 | Push-Fit Valve With Integrated Mounting Assembly - The present invention provides an integrated valve, push connection and push release components, and a valve mounting assembly for use on fluid, air or gas applications. The invention allows for the installation of the valve by sliding the valve over the supply tube/piping or pushing the tube/piping into the valve. Once connected, an o-ring seals the connection, a packing gland applies energy to the o-ring seal maintaining constant, even pressure across the seal, and a grip ring applies opposing energy to prevent the disconnection of the assembly. The quick connection assembly is retained by a retaining cap, which applies constant, positive force on the sealing surface. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100066074 | Piping joint assembly system and method - A pipe fitting assembly package and fastening ring removal tool allow re-use and repair of push-fit piping fittings and valves without damage to the fitting or valve elements or the pipe. The quick connection pipe fitting assembly package of the present invention employs a threaded retaining cap that when removed, exposes the clamping, sealing and fastening mechanism of the fitting or valve. In one embodiment, the present invention further includes a removable packing gland mounted on a body about an axis of an orifice. The fastening ring removal device provided as part of the present invention is manually pushed onto the cylindrical object and is capable of expanding to traverse over the installed fastening ring. The fastening ring removal device includes a parallel angular surface to lift the fastening ring off of the pipe member. In one embodiment of the present invention, the removal device has a plurality of cut areas or slits extending axially along its surface to allow for the expansion of the upper rim portion of the fastener removal tool as it slides over a remaining fastening ring. The present invention facilitates re-use of existing fittings and valves by allowing the internal components to be removed, repaired and/or replaced. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20080252186 | Kitchen appliance having a floating glass panel - A glass panel assembly for kitchen appliances includes a glass panel and a plurality of spacers. The spacers are mounted to an outer surface of the appliance and an inner surface of the glass panel. Preferably, the spacers are adhesively secured to the glass panel and are not visible when viewing the kitchen appliance from the front. Trim pieces fit between the glass panel and the appliance door to cover and further hide the spacers from view. The glass panel can be mounted to any outer surface of the appliance such as an appliance door, side walls or even a top wall. The particular construction of the spacers, in combination with the trim pieces creates an illusion that glass panel appears to float relative to the appliance. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20110277243 | COMFORT SLEEPER - An upper body support device with a top surface, a bottom surface, a sidewall, a central axis, and an outer edge. The support device further contains a first support area, a second support area, and twin third support areas. The second support area includes a cross element. A bridge area links the first support area and the second support area along the central axis. A width of the first support area and a width of the second support area are substantially greater than the width of the bridge area. There are two extensions emanating from the cross element, leading to a third support area, to lift the lower torso at the anterior superior iliac spine protrusions. | 11-17-2011 |
