A media browsing system prepares various media content and synchronizes the content with a media player for playback. A user can specify the content and preconfigure the manner in which the content will be subsequently accessible through a common user interface on the media player. A variety of media players having configurable, common user interfaces promote a consistent media browsing experience across media players for users accessing a variety of preconfigured media content.

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of the box lid stand in an assembled state, showing my design; FIG. 2 is a front view thereof; FIG. 3 is a rear view thereof; FIG. 4 is a top view thereof; FIG. 5 is bottom view thereof; FIG. 6 is a left-side view thereof; FIG. 7 is a right-side view thereof; FIG. 8 is a front view thereof in a disassembled state; and, FIG. 9 is a front perspective view thereof, in an environment of use. The dash-dash broken lines showing a box lid in FIG. 9 depict environmental subject matter and form no part of the claimed design. The appearance of any portion of the box lid stand shown between break lines forms no part of the claimed design. The dot-dash-dot broken lines depicting the boundary of the box lid stand form no part of the claimed design. All other dash-dash broken lines show portions of the box lid stand that form no part of the claimed design.
摘要:
A method for sample encapsulation. A first sampling swab is provided that includes an absorbent portion and a fluid control portion that extends from the absorbent portion. The absorbent portion is proximate a proximal end of the first sampling swab. The fluid control portion is proximate a distal end of the first sampling swab. A sample is collected with the absorbent portion. At least a portion of the sample is liquid. An encapsulation material is provided that includes a first web and a second web. The first sampling swab is positioned between the first web and the second web. The first web is urged into contact with the second web proximate the absorbent portion. The urging of the first web into contact with the second web proximate the absorbent portion causes liquid to move from the absorbent portion towards the fluid control portion. The urging of the first web into contact with the second web proximate the absorbent portion is discontinued which causes the liquid to be drawn into the absorbent portion. The first web is urged into contact with the second web proximate the distal end of the first sampling swab to encapsulate the liquid in the encapsulation material.

An ostomy pouch replacement device allows ostomates with a surgically created stoma to collect, contain and dispose of bodily fluids during hygienic maintenance. The device is customizable to each ostomate's unique stoma diameter and provides a disposable waste receptacle having a hollow absorbent section and a solid absorbent section for sanitary, discreet and odorless disposal of both urine and excrement. The disposable waste receptacle may include a super absorbent polymer powder that becomes a gel in the presence of liquid. The device preferably consists of a disposable waste receptacle that may be positioned over the stoma and includes an absorbent inner material for capturing waste, a cap or plug for scaling the device after use, and a collar stand for pressing an adhesive wafer to the skin and for holding the assembled device in an upright position.

A method and an apparatus for dispensing a pH balancing solution are provided. The apparatus includes a system having a chlorine generator with a power supply coupled to the chlorine generator, the chlorine generator servicing a body of water and chlorinating it. A pH monitoring and balancing unit is provided. The pH monitoring and balancing unit monitors and measures when power is supplied from the power supply to the chlorine generator to produce chlorine and thereby calculates an operational time for the chlorine generator. A pH monitoring and balancing unit controller is also provided, the pH monitoring and balancing unit controller computing an estimated pH level based on the production of the chlorine generator from the operational time measured and then determining if the estimated pH is outside of a desired range, and, if it is outside of the desired range, metering a discrete amount of pH balancing solution based on this estimated pH level to return the pH of the body of water to within the desired range.

A fluid pump includes a pump body enclosing a first cavity and a second cavity, a first flexible member disposed within the first cavity, a second flexible member disposed within the second cavity, and a drive shaft extending between and attached to each of the first flexible member and the second flexible member. The drive shaft is configured to slide back and forth within the pump body. The pump also includes a first shift valve and a second shift valve disposed between the first flexible member and the second flexible member, operatively coupled to deliver a drive fluid to drive fluid chambers in alternating sequence. Some fluid pumps disclosed herein include a housing defining a modular-receiving cavity and a modular insert secured within the modular-receiving cavity by an interference fit. Methods of manufacturing and using fluid pumps are also disclosed.
摘要:
A sensor system in a water treatment system has a housing, controller, one or more light sources, one or more sensors and one or more targets having an immobilized reagent thereon. Light source emits light energy into the housing that is incident upon the target with the immobilized reagent and the reagent being in contact with water from the system. The immobilized reagent interacts with a reactant in the water such that the interaction changes the state of the reagent. When energy from the light source is incident on the target with the immobilized reagent the energy shows a change detectable by the sensor such that the changed energy is detectable by and collected at the sensor and data on the energy is communicated to the controller. The data is then correlated as a representation of a desired variable to be measured for the water in the water treatment system.

摘要:
A laminar flow water jet having a housing with a water channel flowing therethrough. A water input admits water into the housing and the water channel. One or more filter member(s) is provided along the water channel. One or more jetting element in communication with the housing jets a laminar flow tube or segment from the jet. One or more lighting element(s) emits light and communicates with the laminar flow tube or segment. An additive supply element communicates with the laminar flow tube or segment, where a laminar water flow is jetted through the jetting element to form the laminar flow tube or segment which is lit by the light emitted by the lighting element and receives an additive stream from the additive supply element to produce wave effects within the laminar flow tube or segment.
