A davit arm holder 30,50 for a davit arm 11-18 for suspending lines 4 from elevated heights by mounting the davit arm 11-18 on a structural substrate 1. The davit arm holder 30,50 comprises a base 50 formed from one or more planar layers 52 of sheet material adapted to lie parallel to the plane of a surface of the substrate 1, and an attachment 30 adapted to be fixedly attached to the base 50 and to provide a connection 32 to engage a davit arm 11-18. The base 50 includes an outer layer 52 and at least one inner mount 60. The outer layer 52 has a plurality of first engagement portions 70 that are radially spaced from a centre point 54 of the base 50. The at least one inner mount 60 is integrally formed with the outer layer 52, is fixedly securable to the substrate 1 and is adapted to space an inside surface 68 of the outer layer 52 from the substrate 1 to form a gap 66 under the outer layer 52. The base 50 is adapted to have a low-profile when anchored to the substrate 1. The attachment 30 is adapted to be releasably engaged to the base 50 by a plurality of second engagement portions 40 adapted to engage the corresponding plurality of first engagement portions 70 by rotation of the attachment 30 about an axis 56 perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 1.

Technologies for intelligent transfer of products include an autonomous transfer vehicle to receive a retail product, navigate to a predetermined location, and unload the retail product. The retail product may include grocery products or fresh food. The predetermined location may be associated with a delivery vehicle. The predetermined location may be a hyperlocal aggregation facility. The autonomous transfer vehicle may be a shopping cart with a vision system and an electric motor system. The autonomous transfer vehicle may be a drone. Products from multiple autonomous transfer vehicles may be aggregated at the hyperlocal aggregation facility for delivery by a single delivery vehicle. An efficient delivery route may be determined for multiple aggregated products. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A personal applicator for application of a cream, gel or lotion by a user has a flexible elongate member (18) coated and/or impregnated with the cream gel or lotion from within the body (12) of a container (14). The flexible elongate member can be a chord, and may Slave a solid or elasticated central core covered with an impregnatable or absorbent sheath or coating, such as a foam. The container can include a retraction mechanism (20), such as having a spool or bobbin which can be spring biased to retract the chord. Alternatively, the chord may be self retracting, such as by elastic or self coiling.

An athletic glove is provided for an athlete participating in a sport or competition. The athletic glove includes specifically designed finger receptacles for enhanced stability and protection for the athlete's fingers and improved performance. A first finger receptacle encloses the little and ring fingers preventing them from moving relative to each other. A second finger receptacle encloses the index and middle finger thus preventing them from moving relative to each other.

A port closure system (20) including a retention structure (22), and a valve (24). The retention structure (22) includes a port (28) for establishing communication between an exterior environment (30) and interior volume (32) that can receive a fluent substance. The valve (24) includes a flexible, resilient, self-closing, slit-type valve head (36) with an orifice that is normally closed in an unconstrained condition. The port (28) has a laterally inwardly facing engaging surface (34) and the valve has a laterally outwardly facing peripheral surface (54) that is compressed laterally inwardly by engagement with the surface (34) to increase the resistance of the normally closed orifice to opening when the head (36) is subjected to a pressure differential. The system (20) further includes an annular flange (62) located to extend over at least a portion of an exterior side (38) of the valve head (36) to limit movement of the valve head (36) towards the exterior environment (30).
摘要:
A Retrograde Entry Antegrade Placement (REAP™) method and apparatus facilitate the antegrade (i.e., in the direction of blood flow) placement of endovascular devices for treatment of lower extremity arterial disease. Initially, a retrograde entry is made into the arterial system of a patient at an entry point with a curved needle, which then exits at an exit point proximal to the entry point, with a first wire then passed through the lumen of the curved needle. From the skin exit point, a Dual-Lumen Access Director (DAD) device is advanced in the antegrade direction down the first wire in a first lumen and enters the CFA lumen. A second wire is passed down a second lumen in the DAD device and follows the SFA lumen in the antegrade direction. The DAD device is removed, and a standard dilator sheath is inserted over the second wire and the endovascular treatment begins.
摘要:
An apparatus for applying a surface coating to a target surface by providing a sealable containment means for receiving a target surface and a surface coating located in a container or containers within the sealable containment means. Also disclosed is a method of applying a surface coating using the apparatus by sealing the sealable containment means, releasing the surface coating into the volume of the sealable containment means and then subjecting the containment means to an external stimulus which catalyzes the bonding of the surface coating
摘要:
What is provided is a thinning apparatus and method, comprising: a rod with a plurality of recesses spaced at multiple locations long its length and spaced at one or more positions around its perimeter, and an attachment end capable of removably attaching said rod to a handheld rotating power tool; and a plurality of flexible tubular members attached to said rod in said recesses; said rod is capable of being rotated by said rotating power tool about said perimeter; said flexible tubular members are capable of being placed in contact with one or more blossoms or green fruit and removing said one or more blossoms or green fruit by said contact during said rotation; and said apparatus is capable of being handheld, including during said rotation and said removal, and being manually maneuvered to multiple angles with respect to said one or more blossoms or green fruit during said rotation.
摘要:
A training device includes a plate assembly pivotally connected to a support member. The plate assembly includes an angled top plate that is removably mounted onto a flat balance plate. The support member includes a rectangular mounting bracket that is transversely disposed across an enlarged base, the balance plate directly teetering on the mounting bracket. In use, the training device can be used to train a hitter to maximize lower body power using sensory and auditory feedback. Specifically, the hitter centers his rear foot on the angled top plate which promotes weight loading on the inner portion of the rear leg. The hitter then initiates the hitting process by driving the lower body forward until the balance plate pivots forward and strikes the base, thereby providing the user with audible and tactile response. This lower body drive creates significant momentum that powers rotation of the bat through the hitting zone.
