20100062961 | Good Foaming Creamy or Paste-Like Cleansers Comprising Floor Levels of Long Chain Lipids or Lipid Mimics - The present invention relates to compositions, especially pastes/creams which have high level of long chain lipids or lipid mimics. These help provide “creaminess”, a desirable rheological characteristic. This is seen from defined viscosity values which define the pastes. In addition, unpredictably, when used in combination with short chain phase inducers, foam values are adequate when it would be expected the lipids would decrease foam. The composition also retains stability from physical separation. | 03-11-2010 |

20100165029 | Printhead Nucleation Detection Using Thermal Response - A method for determining the pulse width for driving printhead nozzles in a thermal inkjet printer. The printhead is preheated to a desired temperature during a maintenance mode. The printhead nozzle heaters are successively driven in respective heating intervals, where each successive heating interval is characterized by shorter drive pulse width pulses occurring at a higher pulse frequency. The printhead temperature data received during each heating interval is processed to determine a respective temperature slope. The temperature slopes are compared to a desired threshold temperature slope, and when a match is found, the pulse width associated with the matched temperature slope is used to drive the nozzle heaters during subsequent printer operations to print characters on a print medium | 07-01-2010 |
20100295882 | METHOD FOR MEASURING INK FLOW RATE IN AN INKJET PRINTHEAD - A method of determining the state of a printhead/cartridge in a thermal inkjet printer. An inkjet printhead undergoes a jetting operation in which a jetting frequency is selected and a corresponding steady state printhead temperature is known. The printhead is heated to the steady state temperature. Then the printhead is jetted with all nozzles for a predetermined period of time. Temperature samples from the printhead are obtained and the change in the printhead temperature for a short period of time is used to determine a slope in the temperature change. From the slope of printhead temperature changes, the ink flow rate through the printhead can be determined. The flow rate of ink through the printhead can be used to determine the various states of the printhead, including out of ink, clogged, deprimed, a taped printhead, etc. | 11-25-2010 |

20080230636 | Condiment Dispenser - The Condiment Sprinkler is a spoon- or spatula-shaped device which provides a way for dry salt-type condiments to be evenly and effectively sprinkled onto food (in contrast to the “shaker” method). The Condiment Sprinkler comprises a generally convex bowl or open-ended shovel-shaped spoon and a handle, the shallow bowl (which may be round, ovate, or elongated) being somewhat flattened on the bottom and having raised ribs therein. The raised ribs may form a cross design. The raised ribs—whether they be in a cross design or some other appropriate design, such as ribs or bumps—serve to interfere with or dampen the centripetal and/or centrifugal forces generated when the sprinkler is waved, thereby impeding dumping or clumping of the salt-type condiment on the food. With use of the Condiment Sprinkler, the user can gain precise control over the salt-type material he/she is applying. The Condiment Sprinkler is usually of one-piece food-grade plastic construction, but may be made from any other appropriate manufacturing method or material. | 09-25-2008 |

The blower housing thereby enables less air pressure drop through the heat exchanger, which increases the efficiency of the blower motor operation. The design of the blower housing also efficiently turns the velocity head of the air flow through the housing to usable static air pressure at the housing air outlet. | 04-01-2010 |
20110189005 | Low Profile, High Efficiency Blower Assembly - An air distribution blower housing for a low profile air handler such as a residential furnace is designed with a volute-shaped outer wall that has an exponentially increasing expansion angle in the direction of air flow through the blower housing for at least a portion of the volute-shaped outer wall length. This results in the blower housing having an enlarged air outlet opening that slows down and spreads out the air flow from the blower housing over a greater area of the furnace heat exchanger. The blower housing thereby enables less air pressure drop through the heat exchanger, which increases the efficiency of the blower motor operation. The design of the blower housing also efficiently turns the velocity head of the air flow through the housing to usable static air pressure at the housing air outlet. | 08-04-2011 |
20110243720 | High Efficiency Blower Housing with Unequal Size Inlet Openings - An air handler blower assembly includes a blower housing containing a centrifugal fan and a motor mounted on the blower housing and connected to the fan. The blower housing has opposite first and second air inlet openings that are coaxial with the fan, and the first inlet opening is larger than the second inlet opening. The motor is mounted on the blower housing with the motor extending axially through the first inlet opening into the blower housing and into the interior of the fan. The positioning of the motor inside the blower housing and inside the fan reduces the overall axial dimension of the blower assembly. The larger first air inlet opening reduces the losses associated with placing the motor in the first air inlet opening while keeping the second air inlet opening at a smaller size than the first air inlet opening avoids creating buffeting noise and a power/efficiency loss from occurring. | 10-06-2011 |
