| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7185472 | Concrete-based material, and method of applying the same A concrete-based mortar is prepared for application on the exterior of a concrete building or other structure. The drying time of the concrete-based mortar is reduced by addition of an accelerant compound. After the concrete-based mortar sets on the building or othe... | 03/06/2007 |
| 7160575 | Conducting polymer Measurement in the frequency range 3 mHz–106 Hz of the dielectric characteristics of emeraldine base polyaniline dissolved in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) and cast into bulk free-standing polymer films shows features similar to those reported by others and which... | 01/09/2007 |
| 7156395 | Table game A table game has a center piece and a plurality of end pieces that removably attach to the center piece. Each player has chips and takes turns depositing the chips in the end pieces around the board. When the last deposit made by a player makes a special color combi... | 01/02/2007 |
| 7157144 | Giant remnant polarization in laser ablated SrBiNbOthin films on Pt/TiO/SiO/Si substrates SrBi2Nb2O9 (SBN) thin films are deposited on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates using off-axis pulsed laser deposition technique. Off-axis laser ablation avoids plasma damaging of the surface of SBN thin films and is favorable to grow films ... | 01/02/2007 |
| 7157499 | Medical application of oxidized monoterpenes Preferred compositions used to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and yeast include perillyl aldehyde as an active ingredient. Other active ingredients include perillyl alcohol. The compositions are formed as gels, creams, liquids and dry formulations. ... | 01/02/2007 |
| 7137506 | Conveyor belt assembly A conveyor assembly includes a support structure for a belt constructed of interlocking segments. The support structure includes straight segments that may be cut to any desired length. These straight segments are joined using a friction-fit connector. The connector... | 11/21/2006 |
| 7115823 | Electrical transfer switch A switch operates between a first and a second position which selectively connects a load to a first and a second power supply. The connections are made by sliding one or more rods along their axis. The ends of the rods fit within channels to form electrical contact... | 10/03/2006 |
| D529617 | Cold helmet | 10/03/2006 |
| 7109345 | Efficient and convenient procedure for the synthesis of B-alkylated oxazaborolidines derived from ephedrine and norephedrine A novel and efficient alkylation procedure of B—H-1,3,2-oxazaborolidines derived from ephedrine and norephedrine has been established. Representative B-butyl- and B-methyl-1,3,2-oxazaborolidines were prepared in good yield and excellent purity by one pot treatment... | 09/19/2006 |
| 7081371 | Fabrication of stable, wide-bandgap thin films of Mg, Zn and O A stable, wide-bandgap (approximately 6 eV) ZnO/MgO multilayer thin film is fabricated using pulsed-laser deposition on c-plane Al2O3 substrates. Layers of ZnO alternate with layers of MgO. The thickness of MgO is a constant of approximately 1 ... | 07/25/2006 |

| 7052677 | Substituted octanuclear pyrazolato clusters with electron transfer and MRI contrast agent properties The present invention is directed to an Fe(III) complex comprising a redox-active metal cluster in a chemically inert shell. The inventive complex has electron transfer and paramagnetic properties. ... | 05/30/2006 |
| 7042365 | Seismic detection system and a method of operating the same A seismic switch is a programmable device capable of distinguishing between seismic movements due to an earthquake or an explosion, which is used to send a signal to control panels for security doors. The device uses accelerometers and a microcontroller for the dete... | 05/09/2006 |
| 6959768 | Weed plucker A weed puller includes a handle, a pair of tines extending from the bottom of the handle, and a step extending back from the handle. The tines are pushed into the ground near a weed by pressing down (by foot) on the step. The handle is then pulled back. This causes ... | 11/01/2005 |
| 6885806 | Method of making an optical fiber array by overlapping stripped portions of ribbon fibers Two ribbon cables are partially stripped of their covering to reveal a window of optical fibers. The bare optical fibers are slightly bent and overlapped so that they define an interior channel. A rod is passed through the interior channel to temporarily hold the ba... | 04/26/2005 |
| 6873770 | Optical fiber array One preferred optical fiber array according to the present invention includes a lower substrate, a ribbon cable, a cover and a housing. The lower substrate has a first end and a second end opposed thereto and an upper surface extending between the first end and the ... | 03/29/2005 |
