20130246441 | Method for Evaluating Short to Medium Length Messages - A system and method for evaluating short messages is described. A list of messages, pre-filtered by keyword and geographic origin, are scored using a stack of filters having either general scoring parameters or flexible, user defined parameters. Each filter examines the messages for characteristics such as whether they have been re-sent, they contain particular abbreviations or repetitions, a minimum number of words, profanities or other characteristics indicative of their value to a user. A report consisting of the scored messages, i.e., the message and the score associated with the message after application of all relevant filters to the message, is then sent to a user. The report is either ordered or not, and is either an electronic or a human readable form. The elapsed time since the message was originally scored or sent is used to periodically readjust the scores and the report. | 09-19-2013 |
20140236710 | ON-LINE ADVERTISING VALUATION - A method of valuing online advertising locations is disclosed. A clickable ad is served to, an online advertising location and a click total an impression total are obtained for a pre-determined time period. These are used to calculate the click-through-ration (CTR). Optionally, knowing the cost per click of the ad, an effective cost per thousand (eCPM) is also calculated. | 08-21-2014 |

20080295845 | Respiratory face mask and headstrap assembly - A respiratory face mask is provided suitably sized and configured to engage the nose portion, mouth portion and chin portion of a patient's face. The face mask is characterized by a cup-like shell or receptacle member defining a peripheral flange and a flexible inflatable hollow sealing cushion on the shell member flange. Headstrap fastener projections extending upright on the flange are adapted to accommodate an elastic headstrap that adjustably may be removably slidingly coupled to the projections to hold the mask in place on a patient's face and head. | 12-04-2008 |
20090235932 | Respiratory face mask and breathing circuit assembly - A respiratory face mask is provided suitably sized and configured to engage at least the nose portion and mouth portion of a patient's face. Gas from a gas supply and scavenging set normally used in dentistry is operatively coupled to the mask via a breathing circuit to supply fresh gas and evacuate exhaled waste gas. A gas flow compensator in the breathing circuit automatically prevents re-breathing of exhaled gas. Because the mask has a sealing cushion, contamination of the clinical room where the apparatus is being used also is avoided. | 09-24-2009 |
20100132706 | Respiratory face mask and breathing circuit assembly - A respiratory face mask is provided suitably sized and configured to engage at least the nose portion and mouth portion of a patient's face. Gas from a gas supply and scavenging set normally used in dentistry is operatively coupled to the mask via a breathing circuit to supply fresh gas and evacuate exhaled waste gas. A gas flow compensator in the breathing circuit automatically prevents re-breathing of exhaled gas. Because the mask has a sealing cushion, contamination of the clinical room where the apparatus is being used also is avoided. In an alternatively preferred embodiment, the fresh gas supply tube and the exhalation limb of the breathing circuit are replaced by a single length of co-axial flexible tubing connected between the face mask and a branched coupling. The branched coupling, in turn, includes a first branch for connection to the fresh gas supply nozzle of the “dental” set-up and a second branch for connection to a flexible flow-through reservoir bag used to store waste or exhaled gas. A one-way valve is disposed between the second branch output nozzle and the input of the flexible bag. The output of the flexible flow-through bag is connected to the vacuum module of the “dental” set-up. The second branch of the coupling, the one-way valve, and the flexible flow-through reservoir bag define the exhalation limb of the breathing circuit. | 06-03-2010 |
20100229861 | Vacuum attachment and breathing circuit apparatus - An ambient or room air vacuum attachment or nozzle is provided proximal to the connection between a breathing circuit and the protruding inlet port of a respiratory face mask, and a tubular passageway is sealingly connected between the vacuum attachment or nozzle and a source of vacuum. By virtue of such structure, any gas escaping from the periphery of the respiratory face mask through accident or otherwise is immediately and automatically “vacuumed-up” by the proximally located vacuum attachment or nozzle and evacuated from the surrounding room environment through the vacuum source to which the ambient air vacuum nozzle and tubular passageway are connected. | 09-16-2010 |
20140373841 | RESPIRATORY FACE MASK AND BREATHING CIRCUIT ASSEMBLY - A disposable breathing circuit is adapted to be connected between a disposable face mask and a vacuum source for delivering fresh gas to the face mask and for scavenging waste gas exhaled from the face mask. The breathing circuit includes a fresh gas supply limb and an exhalation limb and a scavenging limb coupled to the exhalation limb. The scavenging limb includes a one-way valve to prevent re-breathing, a flexible flow-through reservoir bag used to store exhaled gas, and an output tube adapted to be coupled between the flow-through reservoir bag and the vacuum source. | 12-25-2014 |
