20110072708 | Rodent Trap Having A Pivoting Platform - A trap with a housing having a first wall, an entrance, and a base; a latch mechanism coupled with the base; a pivoting platform pivotally coupled with the housing adjacent a juncture of the base and first wall and adapted to releasably engage with the latch mechanism; and a trigger plate assembly including a first trigger plate and a second trigger plate that are pivotally coupled with the pivoting platform. The first trigger plate is operably coupled with the latch mechanism and the second trigger plate is operably coupled with the first trigger plate. When the trap is triggered by an animal, the pivoting platform disengages from the latch mechanism and the pivoting platform and trigger plate assembly pivot toward the first wall of the housing, moving the rodent toward the first wall of the housing and trapping the rodent between the trigger plate assembly and the first wall of the housing. | 03-31-2011 |
20130126379 | TAMPER-EVIDENT PACKAGING - A tamper-evident package for pharmaceuticals is described. The package includes a case. A tray holding pharmaceuticals slides in and out of the case. The package includes an alarm that can be set to armed and triggered mode. When the alarm is armed, the system of the package changes the alarm to triggered in response to the tray being opened. The package may engage an access indicator in response to the alarm being triggered. The package may also flash an indicator light upon request, prior to opening the tray, to indicate whether the alarm was triggered since being previously armed. The alarm can be armed again if it is triggered, by entering a security code while the tray is closed. | 05-23-2013 |
20140329042 | Wall Insulation Panel - A wall insulation panel for use on a wall comprises at least the successive layers of: a first protective panel having a wall-meeting surface and a vacuum insulating panel (VIP) facing surface, an intermediate VIP panel; and a second protective panel having a VIP facing surface and an outward facing surface. There is an expansion region between at least one of the first and second protective panels and the VIP panel to allow for expansion of the VIP panel without deformation of the outward facing surface of the second protective panel. In this way, the expansion region allows for expansion of the VIP panel without deformation of the VIP facing surface of the second panel, and thus without deformation of the outward facing surface. This maintains the integrity and aesthetic appearance of the outward facing surface, and any further surface or layer thereon, such as a rendered layer. | 11-06-2014 |
20140331586 | Wall Insulation Panel Series - A series of wall insulating panels (“WIPs”) for a modular wall insulating system, each WIP comprising at least the successive layers of: a first protective shell, one or more intermediate VIP panels; and a second protective shell. The WIPs of the series comprise two or more sets, each set comprising first and second protective shells having wholly or substantially the same outer dimensions, and at least first and second sets comprising a different number of the same VIP panels and/or differently shaped VIP panels. In this way, there can be provided to an architect, designer and/or installer of the WIPs, different sets of VIP wall insulation panels having a single ‘shape’ or ‘outer shape’. The designer, etc. can then more easily work out, plan or otherwise predict how many and which WIPs are required and where, both overall, and for each wall section, position or location, etc. | 11-13-2014 |
