Appl. No.:

09/728386

Inventors:

Lam H. Tran - Westminster CA 92683

International Classification:

B65D 8567

US Classification:

281 29, 281 22, 281 31, 281 32, 402 70, 402 73, 4012406, 40653, 4065401, 40405, 40722, 40724, 40726, 40797

Abstract:

A shallow box binder cover is provided for a binder containing a plurality of pages. The cover has a stiff, opaque core through which a plurality of display openings are defined. These display openings are surrounded by the structure of the cover core. A separate transparent plastic blister or box is located in each of the display openings. Each transparent box has a raised interior bubble surrounded by a base having mounting flanges projecting laterally from opposite sides of the periphery of the base. These mounting flanges are held against the inside surface of the front cover core so that the raised interior bubbles project into the display openings and into close proximity to the outer surface of the cover core. A front cover liner is disposed across the bases of the boxes to define separate, hollow enclosed cavities within the interior portions of each of the bubbles. Selected three-dimensional objects are placed within the bubbles before the front cover liner is disposed across the bases of the boxes.

International Classification:

G11B 21/22

US Classification:

3602562, 3602651

Abstract:

The invention includes a yoke assembly containing a top and a bottom proximity latch magnet. The invention includes a voice coil attached to a voice coil bias steel. The crash stop includes a magnetic proximity latch created by the voice coil bias steel attracted to the top and bottom proximity latch magnets. It may also include using the magnetic proximity latch with a magnetically weakened contact latch. Experiments have shown that the combined magnetic proximity latch and the magnetically weakened contact latch require significantly less initial releasing force than the prior art crash stops, and meet rotary shock requirements. The invention includes making the actuator assembly, the voice coil motor assembly, and the CSS hard disk drive. The invention includes operating the CSS hard disk drive with at least the magnetic proximity latch.

Appl. No.:

09/848042

Inventors:

Lam Tran - Westminster CA, US

International Classification:

B42D003/00

US Classification:

281/029000

Abstract:

A tissue box cover having a top with a tissue access opening defined therethrough and flat, surrounding depending side walls provided to house a conventional cardboard box of facial tissue. A display opening is defined in at least one of the side walls of the tissue box cover. A blister formed of stiff, resilient, transparent material having a base, a raised interior bubble portion projecting outwardly from the base, and flat base flanges projecting in opposing lateral directions from the bubble portion is mounted in each display opening. The bubble portion of the blister projects into the display opening from the inside surface of the tissue box cover side walls. An ornamental object is positioned in the enclosure defined by the bubble portion of the blister. This enclosure is closed from the inside by a backing plate panel, and preferably also a decorative support panel sandwiched in between the backing plate panel and the base of the blister. The tissue box cover is preferably formed with display openings and transparent enclosures in all of its upright side walls. The enclosing portion of the tissue box cover is preferably mounted atop a turntable that rotates about a vertical axis relative to a stationary support.

Lam Tran - Westminster CA, US

International Classification:

A47G001/06

US Classification:

040/800000, 040/768000

Abstract:

A shallow box display frame is provided for a three-dimensional ornamental object. The display frame is formed with a surrounding border having inner and outer surfaces. A hollow bubble projects from the outer surface of the border. The bubble is closed at the inner surface of the border by a flat closure member that is thinner than the border and which seats in a seating recess that surrounds the bubble on the inner surface of the border. The flat closure member resides in the seating recess so that its exposed surface is in coplanar relationship with the surrounding portion of the inner surface of the border. A hollow enclosed cavity is defined within the bubble and a three-dimensional display object is loosely entrapped within the hollow cavity.

US Classification:

422/042000, 510/112000

Abstract:

Multi-purpose solutions for contact lens care provide substantial lens wearer/user comfort and/or acceptability. Such solutions include an aqueous liquid medium; an antimicrobial component, preferably a biguanide polymer present in an amount of less than about 5 ppm; propylene glycol or glycerin in an amount sufficient to increase antimicrobial activity; a surfactant component, preferably a poly(oxyethylene)-poly(oxypropylene) block copolymer surfactant, in an effective amount; a phosphate buffer component in an effective amount; a viscosity inducing component, preferably selected from cellulosic derivatives, in an effective amount; and a tonicity component in an effective amount. Such solutions have substantial performance, comfort and acceptability benefits, which, ultimately, lead to ocular health advantages and avoidance of problems caused by contact lens wear.
