Abstract: An archery release that includes, in one embodiment, a tension activated wrist strap index finger trigger release is provided. The trigger release includes a housing, a tension release assembly, and a trigger assembly. The tension release assembly is configured to alternate between a first state when the pulling force is below a predetermined threshold and a second state when the pulling force is above a predetermined threshold. The trigger assembly is configured to selectively activate the tension release assembly.

Abstract: An improved tensioning system and method of restraining cargo is provided. The tensioning system is easy and quick to operate. The tensioning system is compact and minimises space within a cargo bay. The tensioning system allows a greater angular displacement of a tensioning line over conventional tensioning system, such as a ratchet and strap mechanism.

Abstract: A method and system include a computing device. The computing device includes a network interface, to communicate with an app server, to download a macramé app from the app server. The computing device further includes a processing unit to execute the macramé app to select a plurality of macramé tiles and place the plurality of macramé tiles against each other to form a macramé project.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an archery release that embodies many of the desirable features of prior art archery releases while avoiding many of the disadvantages of prior art archery releases. In one embodiment, a novel tension activated wrist strap index finger trigger release is provided.

Abstract: Wirelessly programmed and controlled switching system for use with stringed musical instruments (e.g., guitars) to enable a user to seamlessly change pickup coil settings without having to adjust the physical connections between the switch and the pickups.

Abstract: Pure silicon is a brittle insulator and, with addition of doping elements, performs as a semiconductor. It has found widespread use in computer integrated circuits as well as other semiconducting devices used in communication, electrical switching and power control. Silicon has also been used in solar collectors as active photovoltaic devices. The present application discloses formation and use of certain silicon alloys that take advantage of silicon's relatively low density near 2.33 grams per cubic centimeter and high melting temperature of 1,410° C. Alloys prepared with two to six percent boron, beryllium or mixtures thereof are strong and tough. Silicon steel containing near 2 percent alloying boron is hard while silicon alloys containing near 6 percent boron are tough and more flexible.

Abstract: A handheld wood thread cutting tool with an elongated shank formed with a planar surface and including a first end and a second end with a length substantially longer than its width. The first end has a first wood thread cutting edge aligned substantially in parallel relative to a first vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and passing through the length of the elongated shank from the first end to the second end. The second end has a second wood thread cutting edge aligned substantially parallel to a second vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and running through the width of the elongated shank from a first side wall to a second side wall. A ball handle is affixed between the first and the second end.

Abstract: A variable output fuel pump includes a BLDC motor and a control module to supply three power phases A, B and C to the motor, wherein the control module connects to a power supply connection of a vehicle, and to a vehicle communications network such as a CANbus to control operation of the BLDC motor. The motor is driven by a motor driver that is connected to a micro-controller and in turn, the micro-controller is connected to a communications or CANbus I/F module. In this manner, the micro-controller can be operated by the vehicle control system such as an engine control unit (ECU) through a connection with the vehicle CANbus or other vehicle communications network. The motor driver also detects characteristics of the power used in the three power phases of the motor so that the system is operated with or without motor sensors located within the motor.

Abstract: A food storage container is provided. The container includes a housing with a bottom, a first side wall, and a second side wall fixed to the first side wall that defines a food storage volume therewithin. The first side wall extends from a first end portion that includes a first peg that extends therefrom in a direction parallel with a plane through the first side wall. A third side wall is removably mounted to the first peg, wherein when mounted to the first peg, the third side wall establishes a barrier of the food storage volume different than barriers of the food storage volume provided by the bottom, the first side wall, and the second side wall. When the third side wall is removed from the first peg, the food storage volume may be accessed through a void left by the removal of the third side wall.

Abstract: A method of displaying a battery life for a warming cart battery is provided. The method includes the steps of detecting with a processor that a warming cart battery voltage is out of range of a predetermined threshold, determining with a processor an operation state of each of a plurality of periphery warming cart devices, and automatically setting a battery scale of a warming cart battery based on which of the plurality of periphery warming cart devices are in an active operation state.
