| 20090032416 | Injection Molded Case for Optical Storage Discs - A one-piece, injection molded intended for display by positioning it upright includes a spine, a front cover coupled to the spine via a first living hinge, and a back cover coupled to the spine via a second living hinge. When in a closed configuration, the case has generally semi-cylindrical sidewalls which intersect in generally quarter-spherical corners. The case incorporates a flexible, polymeric sleeve that wraps around the spine sidewall, is bonded to the front and back covers near the edges of the closure sidewall. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090266738 | Container having recessed tilting handle and method for stacking same - A stackable container for carrying and scooping material has a body, a lower handle mounted in a recess in the lower portion of the container body, and an optional upper handle attached to the upper portion of the container body. The lower handle is an elongated continuous member, like a stiff metal rod, shaped into a handle. When not in use, the lower handle can be stowed in the recess beneath an optional retainer flange. To use the lower handle, the handle can be urged from beneath the optional flange to extend outwardly from the container body. The optional upper handle is an elongated member with a grip mounted in the center. A total of three recesses in the exterior of the container body and three corresponding protuberances in the interior are used to stack multiple containers together. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20090076475 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING THERAPEUTIC OXYGEN TREATMENTS - The present invention provides an applicator for directing a flow of medically pure, therapeutic gas onto a selected portion of the body of a patient. The applicator receives the flow of medically pure, therapeutic gas, such as oxygen, from a source, via a conduit coupled to the source and to the applicator. The applicator can be an adhesive bandage having an inlet for receiving the flow of gas, and one or more outlets for directing the flow of gas. The applicator can also be a mask, patch or similar article configured to be applied to the skin of a patient and connected to a source of medically pure, therapeutic gas via a conduit. The applicator can also having other therapeutic materials impregnated therein. The applicator can also be configured to deliver other therapeutic substances introduced into the flow of gas. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090081115 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACTUATING A CHEMICAL REACTION - Various disclosures of an oxygen generator apparatus and methods of using such are disclosed. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090120672 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A LAMINATE COVER, LAMINATE PROTECTIVE LAYER, AND LAMINATE ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING A REDUCED COST, MANUFACTURING TIME, WEIGHT, AND THICKNESS - A method is provided for manufacturing an electronically functional structural component adapted to integrate a plurality of electronic functions into a laminate cover, layer, and/or laminate component, for protecting, supporting, and/or forming a complete electronic device (such as a multimedia device). The method includes laminating a plurality of structural and/or protective layers interspersed with electronically functional layers or electronic components in communication with the multimedia device to form a supportive and electronically functional layer, cover, protective layer, and/or electronic device. Thus, the manufacturing methods provided allow for the cost-effective addition of thin and lightweight functional, protective, and/or decorative layers to a multimedia device or other electronic device at a sales location or other customization location. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20100252034 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PORTABLE BREATHING DEVICES - The present invention provides for a breathing device comprising a housing, oxygen source, water trap, activation mechanism, and breathing apparatus. Operation of the activation mechanism may commence the production of a gas comprising oxygen. The generated oxygen may be bubbled through the water trap prior to being provided to the breathing apparatus attached to the user. Some embodiments may comprise two separate oxygen sources configured to provide distinct flow rates from one another. Other embodiments may comprise a rotating catalyst container configured to evenly and rapidly distribute catalyst upon commencement of the oxygen production. Still other embodiments may comprise a convoluted section of tubing to aid in altering the temperature of the produced oxygen gas. | 10-07-2010 |
