A device includes a guard structure configured to mount to a body of a guitar proximate a pickup selector lever of a pickup selector mechanism of the guitar. The guard structure includes a hood and when the guard structure is mounted to the body of the guitar over the pickup selector lever, the hood is oriented away from a pickup of the guitar. In an embodiment, when the guard structure is mounted to the body of the guitar at least a portion of the pickup selector lever is positioned within an interior volume of the hood of the guard structure.

Systems and methods for determining compression device degradation of an engine of a rail vehicle are provided. In one embodiment, a rail vehicle system includes an engine, an air-intake passage coupled to the engine, a compression device including a compressor positioned along the air-intake passage, a barometric air pressure sensor for measuring a barometric air pressure upstream of the compressor, a manifold air pressure sensor for measuring a manifold air pressure downstream of the compressor, and a controller configured to adjust a rail vehicle operating parameter responsive to a determination of compression device degradation based on a negative pressure differential between the manifold air pressure and the barometric air pressure during a designated operating condition.

A computer accessory tray assembly adapted for mounting to a chair. The tray assembly includes individual left and right mouse trays mounted by horizontal arms to respective arms of the chair. A keyboard tray is engageable with the left and right mouse trays to prevent lateral movement of the keyboard tray, but allows the keyboard tray to be lifted up from engagement with both mouse trays and moved out of the entry/exit position of the chair so that the user can have access to the chair. When removed from engagement from both mouse trays, the keyboard tray can be stowed by hanging it from either of the mouse trays. The mouse trays are adjustable vertically, forwards and backwards, and can be titled to provide ergonomic access to a mouse resting on either mouse tray.

A vascular filter guide wire is disclosed for directing precision placement of a catheter proximate a blood vessel lesion and filtering particulate matter dislodged by treatment of the vessel. The guide wire includes an actuating mechanism, an elongated flexible core wire having a proximal end mounted to the actuating mechanism and a distal end for insertion through a vasculature to a position downstream of the restriction. A tubular flexible shaft is slidably disposed telescopically along the core wire and includes a proximal portion affixed to the actuating mechanism in movable relation to the core wire. The guide wire includes a collapsible filter at its proximal end to the distal portion of the shaft and, at its distal end, to the core wire. The filter deploys radially in response to axial movement of the core wire relative to the shaft so that it can trap particulate matter arising from treatment of the lesion.

The present invention discloses a system and methods for biometric security using vascular pattern recognition biometrics in a transponder-reader system. The biometric security system also includes a vascular scan sensor that detects biometric samples and a device for verifying biometric samples. In one embodiment, the biometric security system includes a transponder configured with a vascular scan sensor. In another embodiment, the system includes a reader configured with a vascular scan sensor. In yet another embodiment, the present invention discloses methods for proffering and processing vascular scan samples to facilitate authorization of transactions.
摘要:
A chamber for use in plungers used in wells that produce liquids and/or gases under, which is connected to an internal flow passage to facilitate more rapid descent of the plunger to the well stop. A closure means is housed within the chamber, and is in the open position when the plunger descends down the tubulars. The closure means is actuated when the plunger and stopper stem reach the well stop. Once the closure means is seated, it is held in the closed position by the build up of pressure below the plunger. The invention also covers a plunger and a method of using the plunger.
