Adjustable alarm device for sliding doors and windows

An adjustable alarm device for windows and doors is installed between the door or window frame and the door or window sash. The longitudinal axis of the alarm device is preferably horizontal. When engaged, movement of the door or window in an open direction will activate the alarm. The body of the alarm device is elongate, tubular and telescoping. The body comprises an outer tube that receives an inner tube. The body of the alarm device may be locked in an extended position by way of a cam mounted on the inner tube and positioned within the body so that when the inner and outer tubes of the body are twisted about their longitudinal axis, the cam body will engage the inner surface of the outer tube in a releasable frictional locking engagement. The alarm device is coupled to one end of the inner tube.

Automatic fluid exchanger

A fluid exchanger for servicing the fluid circuits of vehicular power steering systems and other fluid circulating or hydraulic circuits. The fluid exchanger uses a float operated fluid control valve to harness fluid pressure provided by a pump of an accessed hydraulic circuit. The fluid control valve uses both negative and positive pressure of the circuit's pump to control fluid flow patterns. The float and fluid control valve are matched to be either mechanical / hydraulic or electrical / hydraulic in design. If the exchanger is provided with a mechanically operated fluid control valve, a mechanical float is provided in the exchanger's fresh fluid reservoir and is directly connected to the valve slide of the fluid control valve. If the exchanger is provided with an electric solenoid operated fluid control valve, a float operated electrical switch is provided in the exchanger's fresh fluid reservoir and is wired to control the solenoid of the valve.

Accessory for nebulizer inhaler system

An accessory for an inhaler unit may be retrofit into a conventional nebulizer system having a manifold or an inlet air tube. The accessory includes a one-way air valve that closes except when air is being inhaled. The one-way valve closes to prevent exhaled air / gas from flowing through the manifold and inlet air tube and out to the surrounding atmosphere. Thus, exhaled air / gas does not flow out of the system and does not carry medicine with it, greatly reducing medicine waste. Because the preferred inhaler system does not include any exhale / exhaust valve or any other outlet for exhaled air / gas, the user may loosen his lips, for example, to exhale. The accessory may be provided simply as a single one-way valve retrofit into an existing air tube of a conventional nebulizer system, as an air tube-valve combination that may be attached to a nebulizer system manifold, or as original equipment manufacture (OEM) for a nebulizer system.

Reusable compactable toothbrush assembly with disposable toothpaste, dental floss and tongue cleaner

An all-in-one toothbrush that can be used at home or on the go for complete dental hygiene. Though it is the size of a regular toothbrush, it has added features for further benefits. The hollow handle conceals the refillable toothpaste, the dental floss and the tongue cleaner and the self adhering plastic cap covering the head of the toothbrush guarantees the bristle stay in shape and prevents the toothpaste from crusting. The toothbrush is not only compact and convenient because all the essential elements are housed within, but the simple exchanging of only the toothbrush head allows for use by additional users. This interchangeability and the refillable feature also make it both economically rewarding and environment friendly.

Fast Binding of a Cloud Based Streaming Server Structure

A system and method to rapidly switch from a primary content stream to a secondary content stream with minimal delay is provided. In operation, there will often be unused antenna elements. These unused antenna elements will be assigned to capture secondary content that users are most likely to request when changing from their primary content stream to another content stream. Thus, secondary content streams are predicatively captured in preparation of a user requesting a new content stream. The content is stored in a short term buffer is continually aged until a user requests the secondary content. Once requested, the content stream is immediately available to the user requesting the content stream. Also disclosed is a system for prioritized transcoding. Real-time requests for content transmissions are given access to transcode resources whereas requests to record content transmissions are temporary stored for off-peak transcoding.

Turbidimeter improvements

A turbidimeter with a pair of movable and stationary elements interconnected by a vertically-aligned hinge pin. Interior walls of these elements, when fully closed, define a cylindrical through passageway and an annular shelf which extends outwardly from its upper end. Otherwise, the stationary element, when the movable element has been pivoted away from it, defines one-half of the through passageway bisected lengthwise and a semi-annular shelf. Prior to use, a transparent cuvette can be slideably inserted sideways into the bisected through passageway and suspended there by protrusions on a cap threadedly engaged with the cuvette. The protrusions include a cap plate and an annular support shoulder which, in use, rests on the shelf. With its cuvette insertable sideways, an upflow sample cell, complete with supply and drain fittings fluidly connected to the cuvette, can be readily moved into and out of the turbidimeter to facilitate calibration procedures.
