Abstract: A system and method for automatically detecting unauthorized entry into a pool requiring no user involvement, and having a high degree of accuracy. The system comprises a plurality of light beam emitter devices and a plurality of light beam receiver devices positioned about the pool and a processor in communication with the plurality of light beam emitter devices and the plurality of light beam receiver devices. The plurality of light beam emitter devices emit a plurality of light beams and the plurality of light beam receiver devices receive a plurality of emitted light beams to form a grid extending across a the pool. Additionally, the processor monitors the grid, detects unauthorized entry into the pool based on an interruption of the grid, and generates and transmits an alarm message based on whether a level of the interruption of the grid exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A nonwoven fabric dispenser is provided with fixation elements attached to the body of the dispenser and a cutter assembly attached to a lid of the dispenser. Nonwoven fabric stock is secured by the fabric engagement structures when the lid of the dispenser is in a closed configuration and the cutter assembly is configured to separate a sheet of the nonwoven fabric stock of a desired length.

Abstract: Roll-dispensed stock containers are provided. The roll-dispensed stock containers can include a recessed cutting track positioned along a length of a support wall of the container. The support wall can also include one or more apertures positioned adjacent to the recessed cutting track configured to receive a base of a slidable cutter movable along an elongated slot in a lid of the container. The base of the slidable cutter is captured by the recessed cutting track during a cutting operation to secure the lid in a closed position and to apply constant pressure against roll-dispensed stock as it is cut. Roll-dispensed stock containers of the present disclosure can also include a coating on one or more surfaces thereof. The coating can be formed from a material selected to reduce surface friction, increase rigidity, disperse forces associated with a cutter, and/or otherwise enhance characteristics of the container.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically detecting unauthorized entry into a pool requiring no user involvement, and having a high degree of accuracy. The system comprises a plurality of light beam emitter devices and a plurality of light beam receiver devices positioned along an interior perimeter of the pool and a processor in communication with the plurality of light beam emitter devices and the plurality of light beam receiver devices. The plurality of light beam emitter devices emit a plurality of light beams and the plurality of light beam receiver devices receive a plurality of emitted light beams to form a grid extending across a the pool. Additionally, the processor monitors the grid, detects unauthorized entry into the pool based on an interruption of the grid, and generates and transmits an alarm message based on whether a level of the interruption of the grid exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A bag packaging closure and dispensing device is disclosed. The device has first and second legs secured together about a package. The legs include first and second flexible portions biased apart to provide a space therebetween for dispensing. A slider is moveable along the legs to move the first and second flexible portions together to close the packaging. A method for opening and closing packaging for dispensing contents is also disclosed.

Abstract: A plastic wrap container is provided with a cutter assembly attached to the body of the container. The cutter assembly can be attached in a recessed area or within the body and can be moved to a second deployed position for use.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a filter for a smoking device, such as, but not limited to, a water pipe. The filter includes a body that is positionable over a mouthpiece of the smoking device, to filter impurities from smoke drawn therethrough, and a base that secures the body over the mouthpiece such that smoke is drawn therethrough, prior to inhalation by a user. The body can include one of more filtration layers, such as a first layer formed from a material selected to filter carcinogens and other impurities from the smoke prior to inhalation, and a second layer formed from a material selected to minimize or prevent the transmission of bacteria, viruses, or other contagions from a user's mouth to the smoking device. Each of the filtration layers can also be formed from one or more materials.
