Abstract: A securing/containing system for a cargo sled towable by a snowmobile employs a container featuring a chamber portion and a lid. The chamber portion has a bottom wall for placement on a floor of the cargo sled, and side walls extending upward from the bottom wall around a volume of space. The lid is selectively movable between a closed position enclosing the volume of space, and an open position revealing access to said volume of space. A plurality of tie down engagement elements are carried on the container at spaced apart locations therearound for engagement by one or more tie downs to secure the container to the cargo sled. Unlike the prior art use of a one-piece tarp-like cover, the liner and closable lid prevent any exposure of their contents to the elements, and any spills are contained to prevent contamination of other cargo or dirtying of the sled.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a transportable container (20) for bulk goods. A bag (48) is placed through a former opening (78) of a slip frame former (24) which surrounds a portion of the bag. The bag receives the bulk goods from a feed source (50). A stretch wrap (38) is disposed radially about a bottom support (56) and a portion of the slip frame former to initially form the transportable container. At least one of the slip frame former and the bottom support moves relative to other in response to the fill level of the bulk goods in the bag. During filling, the slip frame former is maintained at a position surrounding the fill level of the bulk goods in the bag. As the fill level increases in the bag, previously disposed portions of stretch wrap are disengaged from the slip frame former to squeeze the filled portions of the bag and lock together the bulk goods as additional portions of stretch wrap are disposed around the slip frame former.

IPC: A61F5/14
Filed: 2010-12-01
Abstract: The invention corrects the dynamic mechanical dysfunction of the hallux valgus toe during sports-specific gaits and weight-bearing activity with an orthotic featuring a toe-supporting structural band that inserts into the user's existing shoe, thereby increasing stability in the structure of the foot and lower limb. Correcting this instability as the transverse and medial longitudinal arches buckle and the knee rolls medially amplifies the recruitment of muscle fibers chronically deactivated in the hallux valgus gait, namely the muscles of the inside lower limb and the posterior chain. The invention enables greater sports-specific speed, balance, agility, endurance, power delivery through the foot into the ground, stability of the lower limb (and therefore the entire body) as it engages surfaces, and corrects muscular imbalances by re-training neuromuscular activation patterns. The construction technique of this invention is applicable to correct hammertoes, overlapping toes, tailor's bunion, and may reduce pain associated with bunions.

Title: Method and apparatus for generation of reagent ions in a mass spectrometer
Inventor: SHABANOWITZ JEFFREY
IPC: H01J49/10
Filed: 2009-05-27
Abstract: A front-end reagent ion source for a mass spectrometer is disclosed. Reagent vapor is supplied to a reagent ionization volume located within a chamber of the mass spectrometer and maintained at a low vacuum pressure. Reagent ions are formed by interaction of the reagent vapor molecules with an electrical discharge (e.g., a glow discharge) within the ionization volume, and pass into the chamber of the mass spectrometer. At least one ion optical element located along the analyte ion path transports the reagent ions to successive chambers of the mass spectrometer.  The reagent ions may be combined with the analyte ions to perform ion-ion studies such as electron transfer dissociation (ETD).

Abstract: This invention is a method to show at least four sides - front, back, left, right, top and bottom of an object at the same action moment on one display. This invention is related to visual technology with particular use for training, monitoring, clipping, advertising, observing and photography art and has a potential to be applied for research purpose as in microscopy observation provided with an appropriate design.   It will be very helpful for artists, circus, gymnasts and others in arts and sport to improve skills if they can look, observe and monitor their actions from front, back, left, right, and as required from top and bottom sides synchronically. This invention allows artists, athletes or others to see their looks and moves from 4 - 6 sides synchronically on one display.   Even though there are common methods of photography such as classic, digital, video or 3-d holography but it is unknown any method of photography to take a picture with one action to show at least four sides of single object on one picture. This method allows to be taken a picture that can show at least four sides - front, back, left, right of an object synchronically on one display. The process of this invention is performed by using any photo camera supported with mirror set section. It is possible also to be performed by use of a set of cameras with a common wireless remote control to shoot and record actions.
