Filed:

Jul 10, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/901797

Inventors:

Gary Driscoll - Pennington NJ, US
Frank Strasz - Princeton NJ, US

International Classification:

G09B003/00

US Classification:

434/322000

Abstract:

A system for computer-based testing facilitates network distribution of testing materials and software. The system comprises a back-end, a servicing unit, and one or more testing centers. The back-end stores test questions and software, and includes software that prepares the test questions and software for distribution to the servicing unit. The servicing unit includes a web server that interfaces with software installed at a testing center. The testing center includes administrative software that contacts the web server at the servicing center to obtain updates to test questions and testing software in a process called “synchronization.” Synchronization is also the process by which the test center reports test results and candidate information back to the servicing unit by means of the servicing unit's web server. The testing center includes a software component called the Test Delivery Management System (TDMS), which uses Java-based technology to deliver test questions to examinees at one or more testing stations located at the test center.

Appl. No.:

14/022298

Inventors:

Steve Henderschott - Lawrenceville NJ, US
Kenneth H. Berger - Skillman NJ, US

International Classification:

G09B 7/00

US Classification:

434362

Abstract:

A computer-based testing system includes testing stations connected to a testing service center and backend via the Internet for providing testing services. The system is operable to perform state management to implement fault recovery due to a computing device failure while a test is being administered. The system is also operable to utilize multiple caching techniques for mitigating network latency while administering tests.

Filed:

Jul 22, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/681022

Inventors:

Robert Mack - Flemington NJ
James C. McKinney - Cranbury NJ
Kenneth R. Berger - Flemington NJ

Assignee:

Colgate-Palmolive Company - New York NY

International Classification:

B67D 552

US Classification:

222137

Abstract:

The dual chamber dispenser consists of two tubular chambers each of which is connected to a pump. The pumps are self-priming and are of a type that draw the substances from the tubular chambers. There is an activator which also serves as the top of the dispenser, side view apertures, a foot for better stability and a spout that is angled for enhanced dispensing. The side view apertures allow for viewing the fill level of the tubular chambers. The pumps are of a type having an upper valve and a lower valve, with the upper valves a part of the piston's that move in and out of the pumping chambers. The valves in said pumps are positive closing by means of a biasing spring. The substances to be dispensed are maintained separate, one from the other, until the substances are dispensed.

Assignee:

Colgate - Palmolive Company - New York NY

International Classification:

B67D 500

US Classification:

222 83

Abstract:

The dispenser is a rigid type multi-chamber, refillable dispenser where only the substance containing chambers need to be discarded and replaced. At the point of the chambers interconnecting into the upper portion of the dispensers there is a cutter to break the seal on the chambers. In operation stabilized piston rods fit into each chamber and push against pistons having a deformable upper surface to expel the substance. The refill chambers have off-center exit openings whereby the distance to the dispenser nozzle exit is minimized. The push rods are stabilized by being of a size and shape to be proximate the walls of the chambers while actuating the pistons.

International Classification:

B65D 2302

US Classification:

220666

Abstract:

Tubular containers can be produced by injection stretch blowmolding processes. Such processes comprise the biaxial stretching of the preform as the preform is being converted into the tubular container. The preform will be stretched longitudinally by means of a stretch rod and laterally by means of the pressure of the blowing gas. The tubular containers produced by these processes will have burst strengths three to five times that of other tubular containers and can be produced in a thin wall collapsible form. Further, the tubular containers can be single chamber containers or multi-chamber containers.
