Filed:

Feb 10, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/055341

Inventors:

Steven Cole - Lombard IL, US
Ravi Voruganti - Barrington IL, US
Wing Ng - Hong Kong, CN
Kam Cheung - Markham, CA

International Classification:

H02J007/00

US Classification:

320114000

Abstract:

An audio power unit is disclosed which provides an audio output and charges removable battery packs as well as providing a number of AC receptacles for powering other tools and the like when the unit is connected to a source of AC power. The unit can optionally also provide DC power. When the unit is connected to a source of AC power, the AC power drives the audio unit which may be a radio or a combination radio and CD player and the AC source also powers a charger which recharges a battery pack if a battery pack is inserted into the charger receptacle. If the unit is not connected to a source of AC power, the radio may be powered by a battery pack when it is placed in the charger receptacle. When the unit is connected to a source of AC power, a relay is opened to isolate the radio unit from the charger and battery pack. The unit has a unique protective frame structure that is connected to the housing of the unit.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320107000

Abstract:

A preferred embodiment of portable lunchbox equipment that is particularly useful at construction and other jobsites is disclosed which provides important desirable features and functionality comprising a housing, at least one charger for charging a removable battery pack, an audio unit for producing an audio signal, a heating unit, an insulated compartment, a cooling unit for the compartment, a cord and plug for connecting said apparatus to a source of AC power, and circuitry for selectively applying power to the audio unit, the charger and the heating unit.

US Patent:

Filed:

Nov 18, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/932113

Inventors:

Steve T. Bakas - Chicago Ridge IL
Steven W. Cole - Brookfield IL

Assignee:

UOP Inc. - Des Plaines IL

International Classification:

B01J 2920

US Classification:

502 66

Abstract:

Superior isomerization performance is obtained with a catalytic composition comprising a Group VIII noble metal and a hydrogen form mordenite incorporated with alumina. The superior performance is a direct result of the catalyst composition having a surface area of at least 580 m. sup. 2 /g. A novel method of preparing an isomerization catalyst having a surface area of at least 580 m. sup. 2 /g is characterized by contacting a formed catalytic composite with an acidic aqueous solution prior to addition of the Group VIII noble metal.

Appl. No.:

8/780876

Inventors:

Steven D. Cole - Indianapolis IN

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

345326

Abstract:

A graphical interface for a credit card authorization terminal. In a first embodiment of the present invention, the data transmission between the credit card authorization terminal and the receipt printer is monitored for the occurrence of a search data string containing the name of the retail establishment. Once located, the search data string is edited from the data transmission and a replacement data string is inserted. The replacement data string contains control and/or data words which cause the graphical logo of the retail establishment to be printed on the credit card receipt. In a second embodiment, the credit card authorization terminal is programmed to transmit the graphical command and/or data words directly to the receipt printer.

Assignee:

UOP Inc. - Des Plaines IL

International Classification:

C07C 524

US Classification:

585739

Abstract:

Superior isomerization performance is obtained with a catalytic composite comprising a Group VIII noble metal and a hydrogen-form crystalline alumino-silicate incorporated with a refractory inorganic oxide. The superior performance is a direct result of the catalyst composite having a surface area of at least 580 m. sup. 2 /g. A novel method of preparing an isomerization catalyst having a surface area of at least 580 m. sup. 2 /g is presented, along with a novel process for the isomerization of isomerizable hydrocarbons.

International Classification:

F21V 19/00

US Classification:

362 95, 29825, 403 2

Abstract:

A mechanical connector is provided for lighting applications. The mechanical connector, having a modifiable length, includes a connector body portion having an anterior side and a posterior side. A cavity is disposed in the posterior side and sized to receive a lighting apparatus. More than two pins are affixed to the anterior side and extend outward therefrom. Pairs of the more than two pins have a predetermined spacing. Each of the more than two pins is removable from the connector body portion.
