International Classification:

A61F 5/00

US Classification:

602 26

Abstract:

An orthopedic device has a main body panel including a longitudinal length with a curved cross-section, and opposed lateral and medial sides. A posterior panel is secured to the lateral and medial sides of the main body panel, and is sized longitudinally shorter than the main body panel in a non-stretched condition. The posterior panel is secured to the main body panel in a pretensioned condition and spans the longitudinal length of the main body panel along the lateral and medial sides thereof.

Inventors:

James R. Forbes - Anaheim CA, US

Assignee:

B/E AEROSPACE, INC. - Wellington FL

International Classification:

B64D 47/00

US Classification:

2482051

Abstract:

A mounting system for an aircraft galley that quickly and easily secures an insert while preserving an air gap between the insert and a work deck upper surface for venting purposes. The platform includes a linkage that can transform from a “Y” shaped configuration to a “T” shaped configuration. When the linkage is in the “Y” shaped configuration, the outer extensions or locking pins do not extend to the side walls of the platform. However, once the insert is properly seated on the platform, the linkage can be transformed from the “Y” configuration to a “T” configuration such that the locking pins extend through the side walls of the platform and through holes in the side walls of the insert. In this manner, the insert can be secured to the platform without screws or other permanent fixtures.

Michael Kemery - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:

B/E Aerospace, Inc. - Wellington FL

International Classification:

B64D 11/04

US Classification:

312236

Abstract:

A chiller for an aircraft galley is disclosed having a housing defining an interior space, the housing including dividers to segregate the interior space into separate chambers. The chambers are enclosed by a pair of doors on a front of the housing that allow a user to gain access to the chambers, a first door providing access to at least one chamber and a second door providing access to at least one different chamber. A side door is also provided that permits access to at least one chamber, wherein at least one chamber is not accessible through said side door.

Appl. No.:

8/733588

Inventors:

Russell A. Jordan - Rancho Cucamonga CA
James F. Forbes - Monrovia CA

Assignee:

Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

A61C 900

US Classification:

433 37

Abstract:

A dental impression tray has a receptacle for receiving a quantity of dental impression material, and the receptacle is coated with an adhesive for enhancing the bond between the impression material and the tray. The adhesive is applied to the tray body at least sixteen hours before the impression material is placed in the receptacle. Advance coating of the adhesive onto the tray body provides a higher bond strength between the impression material and the tray than would otherwise be observed. Precoating of the tray by the manufacturer represents a time savings for the dental practitioner and also reduces the amount of volatilized solvent emitted from the adhesive that might otherwise be emitted in the dental office.

Appl. No.:

7/065679

Assignee:

Econolite Control Products, Inc. - Anaheim CA

International Classification:

G08G 107
G08G 1096

US Classification:

340915

Abstract:

The status of the traffic signals is repeatedly monitored. A visual display is presented of the spatial arrangement of the traffic signals in the system. The currently monitored status of the traffic signals is repeatedly represented on the display, spatially coordinated with the display of the respective traffic signals. A plurality of previously monitored statuses is also repeatedly represented on the display, spatially coordinated with the respective traffic signals and a traffic speed progression representation therebetween. The display distinguishes between through green and local green traffic signal status. A comparison is made of the currently monitored status of a traffic signal under consideration with the previously monitored status of the adjacent traffic signals as the latter arrives at the traffic signal under consideration and a separately distinguishable mark represents a discrepancy in the comparison when the previously monitored status is through green.

Appl. No.:

8/323041

Inventors:

Jerold S. Horn - Los Angeles CA
James F. Forbes - Monrovia CA

Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

A61C 716

US Classification:

433 9

Abstract:

A method for pretreating a plastic dental appliance having a surface to be bonded to a tooth comprising applying a pretreatment composition comprising i) a polymerizable component, ii) a solvent capable of at least partially solubilizing the plastic dental appliance, and iii) a photoinitiator system to the surface of the dental appliance. Components i) and ii) may be the same or different materials. The polymerizable component of the pretreatment composition is then polymerized by exposure to actinic radiation. The present invention also provides pretreated plastic dental appliances prepared by this method. Optionally, the plastic dental appliance may additionally be precoated with an orthodontic adhesive and packaged accordingly.
