| 20110029126 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY PROCESSING LETTERS AND FLAT MAIL - The present teachings relate to techniques and equipment to insert documents into either letter envelopes or flat mail envelopes on the same dual mode mailing inserter without the need to do machine setup between letter and flat mail envelope insertion. The dual mode mail inserting machine is configured to accept documents from a printer that are designed for insertion into flat mail envelope. If a document plus its inserts and envelope weighs less than a predetermined weight, the document will be diverted from the normal flat mail path to a second inserter and output section. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20080287788 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ORGAN MONITORING - A method for monitoring a patient's organ includes: inputting an electrical signal into the organ; receiving the electrical signal from the organ; and comparing the received electrical signal to a reference electrical signal to determine whether the patient's organ is functioning properly. The electrical signals may be representative of flow characteristics. In one aspect, a system for monitoring a patient's organ includes a sensor sock having a flexible body adapted to at least partially surround an organ, the sock carrying a plurality of spaced-apart electrodes. In another aspect, the system includes at least one flow transducer adapted to be attached to a blood vessel connected to the organ. A sensor unit is adapted to be implanted into the patient's body and to transmit and receive electrical signals from the electrodes or transducers. A computer may be programmed to compare the received electrical signal to the reference electrical signal. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20100223965 | REVERSIBLE LOCKING DEVICE FOR MERCHANDISE DISPLAY HOOKS - A locking device for a merchandise display hook has an upper rod disposed along a longitudinal axis and a lower rod disposed generally parallel to the longitudinal axis and the upper rod. The locking device includes a housing having a vertical slot adapted to receive the upper rod and the lower rod of the display hook. A bayonet is movable between a locked position in which a portion of the bayonet extends into the slot and restricts movement of at least one of the upper rod and the lower rod within the slot, and an unlocked position in which the bayonet does not extend into the slot and thereby permits movement of the upper rod and the lower rod within the slot. An elongate nose depending outwardly from the housing defines a channel that intersects the slot of the housing and receives the upper rod of the display hook with the upper rod and the lower rod disposed within the slot. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110036789 | MERCHANDISE DISPLAY HOOK HAVING TIME DELAY MECHANISM INCLUDING HELIX - A merchandise display hook has a time delay mechanism for increasing the amount of time required to dispense items of merchandise from a display arm, while permitting bulk loading of the items of merchandise onto the display arm. The time delay mechanism includes a housing, a helix extending from the housing in a rearward direction, and a rotatable handle extending from the housing in a forward direction. Rotation of the handle causes the helix to rotate about the display arm to thereby dispense the items of merchandise from the display arm in the forward direction. The time delay mechanism further includes a lock mechanism having a secured position for attaching the time delay mechanism to the display arm and an unsecured position for allowing the time delay mechanism to be detached from the display arm to permit bulk loading. A first drive gear may be affixed to the handle that engages a reducing gear that in turn engages a second drive gear affixed to the helix so that the second drive gear turns the helix slower than the handle turns the first drive gear. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110127225 | MERCHANDISE DISPLAY HOOK INCLUDING HELICAL TIME DELAY MECHANISM HAVING BI-DIRECTIONAL GEAR - A merchandise display hook for displaying items of merchandise includes a support rod and a helix disposed about the support rod and extending along at least a lengthwise portion of the support rod. The support rod includes mounting structure for mounting the display hook to a display fixture and has a first end adjacent the mounting structure and a second end opposite the first end adjacent the helix for loading the items of merchandise onto the support rod and for dispensing the items of merchandise from the support rod. The merchandise display hook further includes a time delay mechanism attached to the helix adjacent the second end of the support rod so as to define a space therebetween for loading and dispensing the items of merchandise. The time delay mechanism includes a gear assembly configured for permitting the items of merchandise to be loaded onto the support rod at a rate that is faster than the rate at which the items of merchandise can be dispensed from the support rod. | 06-02-2011 |

| 20100000380 | Multiple-link tool assembly, tool extension, and method - A multiple-link tool assembly includes an elongated handle, an exchangeable extension link, and an exchangeable tool link. The exchangeable extension link has a first connecting end removably linked to the handle, and a second connecting end defining a sectioned cavity. The sectioned cavity includes a reduced-diameter internally serrated cavity section and an enlarged-diameter non-serrated cavity section. An adjustable geometric fitting having an externally serrated base is received and retained within the sectioned cavity. A spring is located within the non-serrated cavity section, and is adapted for normally urging the externally serrated base of the geometric fitting into the internally serrated cavity section. The exchangeable tool link has a proximal end removably joined to the geometric fitting of the extension link, and a fastener-engaging distal end adapted for engaging a threaded fastener. | 01-07-2010 |
