Abstract:
A cleaning system for cleaning contaminants from animal litter. The embodiements have paricular use in cleaning horse stalls to separate the horse bedding from allergens. In a first embodiement, a vacuum and a blower are coupled togetehr and configured so that the blower blows a first fluid stream into animal litter simultaneously with the vacuum drawing a second fluid stream from the animal litter.
Abstract:
A method of providing genetically personalized intravenous or intramuscular nutrition therapy includes developing an initial mapping of individual micronutrients to SNPs, symptoms, conditions, and therapeutic objectives based on existing individual scientific literature references that link the specific micronutrient to an SNP, a symptom, a condition, or a therapeutic objective. The method includes receiving an SNP and a symptom, a condition, or a therapeutic objective for a patient, comparing the SNP, symptom, condition, therapeutic objective combination with the initial mapping to identify matching micronutrients, determining a nutrition therapy based on the identified micronutrients, and treating the patient accordingly. Feedback data about the nutrition therapy's effectiveness is received and the initial mapping is updated to account for the feedback data. This process is repeated for subsequent patients positioned geographically remotely from each other so that future patients are treated with reference to an updated current mapping.
Abstract:
A wine decanter pedestal system includes a base supported above a surface, the base having a base center axis and a ledge extending outward from its top surface to support a bottom surface of a decanter placed on the top surface. A wireless receiver receives wireless commands from a wireless device to control a rotary motor operably coupled to the base at an attachment point off-center from the base center axis such that rotation of the rotary motor causes the base center axis to orbit about the rotary drive in a circular orbital motion and in a circular spin motion. A weight sensor measures a weight of a decanter placed upon the base, and a controller automatically adjusts the torque of the rotary drive in response to the weight measured by the weight sensor to increase torque for heavier weights measured and decrease torque for lighter weights measured.
Abstract:
A helmet and goggle strap clip combination includes a helmet body with an outer shell having an opening in a surface. The goggle strap clip includes a clip body, a resilient leg extending in a first direction with a foot at an end of the leg. The foot includes a foot body, an outer side facing away from the helmet body and an inner side facing the helmet body, a cover extends from the foot body in the first direction, a support fin extending from the foot body in a second direction, opposite the first direction. The cover overlaps the outer shell by a side edge, the support fin is positioned inside of and engaging the outer shell by a second side edge, and the clip body is in direct contact with the outer shell separate from the leg and its foot.
Abstract:
A bicycle frame bag includes a bag body, a first frame and a second frame. The bag body includes a bag top, a bag bottom, a first bag side and a second bag side opposite the first bag side, the first bag side connecting with the bag top and the bag bottom at first edges, the second bag side connecting with the bag top and the bag bottom at second edges opposite the first edges. The first frame includes at least a first arm and a second arm operatively coupled to each other to form a first angle that is substantially the same as an angle between two adjacent tubes of a bicycle frame. The second frame includes at least a third arm and a fourth arm operatively coupled to each other to form a second angle that is substantially the same as the angle between the two adjacent tubes.
Abstract:
A helmet can include an energy absorbing shell including an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface. A fit system member can be coupled to a rear of the energy absorbing shell to adjust a fit of the helmet for a user. A sliding layer can include an outer sliding layer surface oriented towards the inner surface of the energy absorbing shell and an inner sliding layer surface opposite the outer surface. The sliding layer can include at least one attachment member and at least one integrated fit system arm. The at least one integrated fit system arm can be coupled to the fit system member. An elastomeric member can include a first end coupled to the energy absorbing shell and a second end coupled to the attachment member of the sliding layer. Comfort padding can be coupled to the inner surface of the Sliding layer.
Abstract:
A protective helmet for rotational energy management may include an outer protective shell including an outer surface and an inner surface, a portion of which may be spherically shaped. An inner protective shell may be disposed within the outer protective shell and include a spherically shaped outer surface oriented towards the inner surface of the outer protective shell. A surface area of the outer surface of the inner protective shell may be less than a surface area of the inner surface of the outer protective shell. A first elastomer member may extend through a first channel through the outer protective shell and the inner protective shell. A boundary nub may include a spherical shape and be integrally formed with the inner protective shell at a front lower edge of the inner protective shell.
Abstract:
A helmet fit adjustment system having a frame, a tensioning device having an adjustment wheel, and a device receiver is disclosed. The frame comprises a frame body having a first attachment point and a second attachment point, as well as an occipital strap having a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the first attachment point, and the second end is movably coupled to the tensioning device. The device receiver is coupled to the second attachment point. The tensioning device is directly and releasably coupled to the device receiver, forming a hair aperture. Rotational adjustment of the adjustment wheel adjusts a functional length of the occipital strap.
Abstract:
A helmet can include an outer shell including a faceport, a first segment including a longitudinal ridge extending from a front of the helmet to a rear of the helmet, a gap disposed along the edge of the first segment, and a second segment comprising offset from the first segment by the gap. A hinged zone can be formed by an elastomeric material disposed within the gap and coupled to the first segment and the second segment of the outer shell. The hinged zone can elastically flex in a radial direction towards a center of the helmet. An energy absorbing liner can be coupled to an inner surface of the outer shell, and an open space can be formed between an inner surface of the hinged zone and an outer surface of the energy absorbing liner.
Abstract:
A strap adjustor can include a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a third surface that extends between the first surface and the second surface. A first through opening can extend completely through the strap adjustor between the first surface and the second surface. A second through opening can extend completely through the strap adjustor between the first surface and the second surface. A can bar separate the first through opening and the second through opening. A first end opening can extend from the third surface to the first through opening, and a second end opening cab extend from the third surface to the first through opening. A first strap can be disposed through the first end opening. A second strap can be disposed through the second end opening. The first and second straps can be disposed through the first through opening and over the bar.
