Abstract: Opposite end sections (20, 26) of a piston/cylinder drive unit (14) are clamped to longitudinally spaced apart transverse mounting beams (10, 12), by a fixed clamp parts connected to the mounting beams (10, 12) and removable clamp parts that are connected by bolts to the fixed clamp parts. The piston rod end sections (20, 26) include longitudinal passageways having outer end openings that project outwardly from the clamps. Manifolds are secured to the mounting beams (10, 12) outwardly of the end openings in the piston rod end sections (20, 26). A detachable coupling connects ports in the manifold with the end openings in the piston rod end sections (20, 26). The piston cylinder drive unit (14) can be detached from the frame by first detaching the fluid couplings and then detaching the clamps which clamp the piston rod end sections (20, 26) to the mounting beams (10, 12).

Abstract: An engine air intake system is provided which is formed by an engine compartment. A fan and a grille screen are used to remove a portion of debris from air external to the vehicle. After the air is partially cleaned via the grille screen, it moves toward a heat exchanger carrying a portion of the remaining debris with it. A portion of the debris may fall out of the air via gravitational effects. A  portion of the air then moves up and into an entrance passage for an air intake duct that is integrated with the hood of the engine enclosure, this portion having been further cleaned via debris passage to and through the heat exchanger as well as gravitational effects. The air then travels through the air intake duct and passes through an air filter where a portion of the remaining debris is removed prior to the air being supplied to the engine intake.

Abstract: The calibration (e.g. color correction and/or equalization) of one or more display devices in an automated fashion using feedback obtained directly from the display devices, without requiring any manual or subjective evaluation, is disclosed. A sensor associated with a particular display device automatically measures certain characteristics of the display device, and feeds back calibration information to an image processor at the input to the display device. Based on the feedback, the image processor adjusts the characteristics of the display device to match a reference characteristic.  When multiple sensors are used with multiple display devices and image processors, substantially uniform display characteristics and matching of the multiple display devices is possible.

Abstract: A slab gel cassette is formed from generally flat plates welded together along their borders with a gel space between the plates that is open at the top and bottom edges of the plates to expose the opposing ends of a gel in the gel space to buffer solutions in which electrodes are immersed. The plates are shaped such that the weld line does not intersect with the bottom opening of the gel space. Sealing of the bottom of the gel space, which is necessary for gel casting, is achieved by placing a seal-ing strip over the bottom opening with no danger of leakage of the gel solution along a weld line.

Abstract: An eavestrough protector or filter comprises an elongated and conformable container dimensioned to fit at least partially within an eavestrough. The container is water-permeable to permit water to flow through said container. A  low-density fill material, e.g. an expanded polymer, is disposed within the container. The fill material has a density less than that of water to thereby float the protector when the container is filled with said fill material, thus providing a conformable floating eavestrough protector that is permeable to water. The protector may be inserted into an eavestrough or gutter to shield the eavestrough or gutter from becoming clogged with leaves, twigs or other debris. The foam protector is permeable to rainwater and floats on the water flowing through the eavestrough.

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling operation of an outboard motor having an engine to power a propeller, a transmission being selectively changeable in gear position to establish speeds including a first speed and second speed and transmitting power of the engine to the propeller with a gear ratio determined by established speed, and a trim angle regulation mechanism regulating a trim angle through trim-up/down operation, the transmission is controlled to change the gear position from the second speed to the first speed when the second speed is selected and a throttle opening change amount is at or above a predetermined value; and the trim angle regulation mechanism is operated to start the trim-up operation based on engine speed. With this, the transmission can be appropriately controlled to suppress the decrease in boat speed caused by change of gear position, thereby mitigating an unnatural feel given to the operator.

Abstract: My invention addresses a common problem with securing cargo in the bed of a pickup truck. These retractable units will be easily mounted permanently inside the cargo bed using existing factory anchor points.  They will swivel according to where the tie down point needs to be.  Straps are easily freewheeled out when the handle is in the upright position, once hooked to or around cargo you can use the large handle to tighten the straps on the ratcheting hub. The current retractable straps are all designed to be mounted on the outside of trailers; they will not work on the inside of a truck bed because of the design. We have modified this type of strap, housing and mount to work from the inside of a truck bed.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for detecting and treating bruxism.  The apparatus of the invention comprises a sensing unit, a calculation unit and a stimulation unit. The sensing unit is in charge of measuring the interocclusal distance and reporting this distance to the calculation unit. After receiving the information from the sensing unit, the calculation unit archives and processes the information to determine if the sensing event is a bruxism event. When a sensing event is confirmed as a bruxism event, the calculation unit selects an adequate stimulation and sends a request to the stimulation unit, which applies the selected stimulation. The apparatus of the present invention may be suitable for treating both diurnal and nocturnal bruxism and the intrabuccal components may be removed from the mouth when bruxism events are not expected to occur, i.e., during the day for an individual who suffers only from nocturnal bruxism.
