Abstract:
Soap dispensing shower head and brush head with a flexible hose and attachment to fasten to a standard water supply and shower spigot. An enclosed chamber contains a water driven paddle wheel. The paddle wheel drives a first set of gears that cause a scrub brush to rotate. A second set of gears powered by the paddle wheel that cause a cam to rotate. The cam pushes against a soap delivery pump head causing the soap to be pushed through an aperture that runs through the center of the shower head assembly. A selector valve allows the user to choose between the shower function and the rotating brush, soap delivery function, an additional mechanical selector switch that allows the user to turn the soap delivery function on or off. A soap containing reservoir is connected to the enclosure and also acts as a handle portion.
Abstract:
A stackable network unit comprises a ‘down’ port and an ‘up’ port, an arbitration path for data packets from the down port to the up port, a repeat path for data packets from the up port to the down port, a link detector for detecting tile absence of another operative unit connected to the down port to cause data packets on the return pat to bypass the down port and proceed on the arbitration path and for detecting the absence of another operative unit connected to the up port to cause data packets on the arbitration path to bypass the up port and proceed on the repeat path.
Abstract:
A system and method causes a computer to detect and perform actions on structures identified in computer data. The system provides an analyzer server, an application program interface, a user interface and an action processor. The analyzer server receives from an application running concurrently data having recognizable structures, uses a pattern analysis unit, such as a parser or fast string search function, to detect structures in the data, and links relevant actions to the detected structures. The application program interface communicates with the application running concurrently, and transmits relevant information to the user interface. Thus, the user interface can present and enable selection of the detected structures, and upon selection of a detected structure, present the linked candidate actions. Upon selection of an action, the action processor performs the action on the detected structure.
Abstract:
A cabinet is provided which comprises a pull-out shelf, means for supporting books on the shelf so that they can be opened and read without removing them from the shelf, and means for automatically closing the books at the ends of the shelf when the shelf is pushed back into the cabinet.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A system for monitoring physical activity, in which activity data for an individual is be captured and stored whether the activity takes place in a health club or away from the health club (e.g. outdoors). The proposed approach is to capture heart rate data using an individual heart rate monitor (e.g. a chest belt) that has inbuilt memory for storing the heart rate data. The data is uploaded from the belt to a database, preferably a database that is accessible over the Internet, via a receiver station that will typically be located in a health club where the user is a member.
Abstract:
A system for improving a swing has a transmitter coil for creating an electromagnetic field aligned with respect to a desired swing plane of a sporting implement and a plurality of coils for detecting an actual swing plane relative to the desired swing plane.
