US Patent:

6361045, Mar 26, 2002

Filed:

Feb 9, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/501255

Inventors:

Robert Bernstein - Chappaqua NY

Assignee:

Peel Off Promotion, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

A63F 910

US Classification:

273157R, 273157 A

Abstract:

A puzzle game wherein scrambled puzzle pieces are printed on a top layer of pressure-sensitive material which is die cut to create the shapes of the pieces. In a two-layer version of the puzzle, the pressure-sensitive material is laminated to a bottom layer formed from a silicone-coated liner. The bottom surface of the bottom layer is printed with instructions, e. g. , a grid having rectangles with numbers which tell where to place the correspondingly numbered scrambled pressure-sensitive puzzle pieces. When the pressure-sensitive pieces are applied to the liner, rearranged as per the grid or other instructions, a picture and/or message is revealed. An intermediate layer may be hidden between the top and bottom layers for serving as a coupon, ticket or other device which be relinquished without parting with the completed puzzle.

Robert Bernstein - White Plains NY, US

Assignee:

SCENTISPHERE LLC - Carmel NY

International Classification:

A61L 9/04
B31F 5/00
B32B 38/04
B32B 37/14

US Classification:

239 44, 493393, 156217

Abstract:

A scent sampler and air freshener has a wafer of an absorbent resilient material infused with a liquid containing a scent. The wafer is encapsulated in a chamber formed between two panels of sheet material with edges sealed together to form an envelope. An opening in one of the panels enables scent from the liquid to be emitted to the ambient atmosphere. The rate of emission can be increased by squeezing the panels to compress the wafer. The interior surfaces of the panels can be coated with a barrier film to prevent leakage of the liquid from contaminating the sheet material.

Jul 23, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/059523

Inventors:

Robert I. Bernstein - Tenafly NJ

Assignee:

Electro-Catheter Corporation - Rahway NJ

International Classification:

A61N 136

US Classification:

128419PG

Abstract:

A tripolar catheter apparatus employing an automatic electronic switch is adapted for use with a conventional bipolar demand cardiac pacer for converting a bipolar pacing system into a tripolar pacing system in which stimulation can be applied between two intra-ventricular electrodes, such as ones located in the right ventricular apex, while sensing of ventricular depolarization may be obtained by an intra-ventricular apical electrode and an extra-ventricular electrode located outside the ventricle, such as in the right atrium or vena cava. The tripolar catheter apparatus comprises a pair of catheter terminals connected to the output terminals of the bipolar demand cardiac pacer and three output electrodes, namely a proximal electrode, a medial electrode and a distal electrode, which are provided to the heart. The distal electrode is the common electrode for both sensing and stimulation in the tripolar system while an automatic electronic switch selects either the proximal electrode or the medial electrode dependent on the provision of a cardiac stimulus from the pacer.

Appl. No.:

6/904336

Inventors:

Robert I. Bernstein - Tenafly NJ
Bernard Ackerman - Metuchen NJ

Assignee:

Electro Catheter Corporation - Rahway NJ

International Classification:

A61M 518

US Classification:

604170

Abstract:

This method and device permits removal of venous blood from either atrium to a heart lung machine and thereafter returns it (after oxygenation and filtration if needed) to the femoral artery, all in a percutaneous mode. The device includes in combination a guide wire, catheter, transseptal needle, blunt internal obturator approximately the same length as the catheter with a circular barb to secure the catheter in a given longitudinal relationship, an external obturator about the same length as the internal obturator and removably attached thereto, a cannula for passage over the combined obturators and catheter and connectors to attach the cannula to an extracorporeal pump (and oxygenator if needed), which in turn can be connected to the arterial side of a patient's vascular system.

International Classification:

B32B 714

US Classification:

428 421

Abstract:

A web of removable carrier labels, each having a self-adhering removable piggyback label, has a top label layer, a bottom support layer and an intermediate liner layer. The label layer has a pressure-sensitive adhesive coated surface and is die cut at the perimeters of each carrier label and the piggyback label within it. The liner layer has a release surface facing the pressure-sensitive adhesive coated surface of the label layer and is die cut about a perimeter geometrically similar to, and in registration with, the piggyback label die cut. The support layer is thereafter permanently adhered to the liner layer except at the die cut portion of the liner. The carrier label, piggyback label and die cut portion of the liner can be removed from the support web as a unit and adhered to a product such as a subscription piece or other substrate. The piggyback label can, thereafter, be peeled away from the carrier label and the underlying die cut liner portion and adhered to another surface.
