Abstract: An energy management system for lighter-than-air vehicles which includes a reactor means for generating energy, storage means for storing the reactants used in the reactor means, and an integrated pipeless reactant and power distribution means.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor that incorporates lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) as an electrolyte and sensing electrode comprising a combination of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and barium carbonate (BaCO3). In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor has a reduced sensitivity to humidity due to a sensing electrode with a layered structure of lithium carbonate and barium carbonate. In still another embodiment, the present invention relates to a method of producing carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors having lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) as an electrolyte and sensing electrode comprising a combination of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and barium carbonate (BaCO3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to soft, multifunctional carriers which transport equipment, such as hunting equipment, hunting bows, compound bows, hunting gear, camping gear, hiking gear and animal antlers for camping, fishing and/or hunting. The equipment can be placed on or hung from a tree or the like and act as a backrest or cushion and provide access to the equipment transported for hunting, camping or fishing purposes. The carrier can be utilized in conjunction with an elevated tree stand or as a storage area on or near ground level.

Abstract: An internal corner structures for mattress foundations that sit at each corner between the frame and the grid. The rigid member contains a base, body and grid support deck. The base member sits atop the foundation frame and contains two flanges that overlap the frame and guide the positioning of the internal corner structure relative to the frame. The body structure supports the grid deck and has a rounded exterior profile to provide a rounded smooth contour to the mattress foundation corners, and has a plurality of square shaped openings that extend in both a vertical and horizontal direction. The grid support deck sits atop the body structure and provides support to the mattress foundation grid, and has engagement clips that engage and position the grid and an edge guard that functions to disperse a load and protect the engagement clips from impact.

Abstract: A product display highlighter has a product carrier body for containing and displaying product, and which is configured to fit with a relatively larger display in a manner in which the product carrier body of the display highlighter and products therein are physically set apart from the products of the larger display. The product display highlighter can be placed at any of multiple locations on a larger display, and multiple product display highlighters can be used in connection with a single larger display.

Abstract: A bandage and method for vital bleaching of human skin discolored as a result of bruising (ecchymosis) provides transdermal delivery of hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching agent in gel or other form. The bandages provide delivery and application by waterproof and light-proof strips and pads carrying hydrogen peroxide in sufficient concentration for safe oxidation of bruised tissue with resultant eradication of visible discoloration, and amelioration of associated tenderness.

Abstract: A method and system for providing an enhanced and interactive window shopping and retail information exchange with shoppers, includes acoustic sensing in connection with one or more storefront windows of a retail store, and a corresponding transparent display located within the store and visible through the storefront window, the interior of the store being visible through the transparent display. Display of information on the transparent display, and in optional combination with audio information external to the store, prompts shoppers to tap the storefront window at locations which correspond to the locations of information displayed on the transparent display. The system and method is programmed to respond to taps on the window according to the locations of the taps with incentives to enter the store and/or to redeem awards or coupons in the store.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to pre-polymer and polymer compositions that can be photopolymerized. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to crosslinking agents that can be used in the photopolymerization of the pre-polymers and polymers disclosed herein. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to processes for producing pre-polymer, polymer and crosslinking compositions useful in photopolymerization reaction schemes. In one instance, the pre-polymers and polymers of the present invention can be crosslinked via a suitable crosslinking agent to produce networks (e.g., amphiphilic networks and/or co-networks).

Abstract: Light fixtures adaptable for use with displays such as retail displays and using T-5 type lamps, the fixtures having a lamp housing, a mounting bracket, and lamp housing support arms which extend from the mounting bracket to the lamp housing, the lamp housing having a shroud and shroud end caps at each end of the shroud, the shroud end caps configured for interconnection with an opposing shroud end cap of another fixture whereby multiple fixtures can be interconnected in serial fashion.
