Abstract: Novel side rails for self-stabilizing, one-wheeled electric skateboards and related products are disclosed. The angled frame rails of this invention and disclosure lower the center of gravity at the contact points—i.e. a rider's feet on the footpads—by as much as possible without losing any clearance at the front and rear bumpers, and tilt the gyroscope to change the zero-degree level default position. In order to achieve this, the inventive rails herein change to a downward tilt as soon as possible after the axle bolt connection points, then tilt back up before the footpad decks and continue through the front and rear of the vehicle. In one embodiment, a five-degree downward tilt of the rails allows for an approximately one-half inch drop in the center of gravity of the vehicle, thus increasing speed, stability, and safety.

Abstract: A credit sharing network is provided that allows monitoring a subset of a person's credit report by another person. The credit sharing network allows different subsets of the credit report of a person to be monitored by different persons. The subset of the credit report that is shared with another person may include an indicator such as a color code, an icon, an emoji, a short text, and/or a credit range to indicate the credit worthiness of a person. The credit sharing network may combine the credit reports of two or more persons. Combining the credit report of a group of persons may result in a combined credit score that is higher or lower than the credit report of each individual person in the group. Sharing or combining the credit reports of multiple persons may require authorization from all persons involved.

The connection points of the strap member may be provided by ends of the strap member being looped or folded over. The strap member may comprise at least two overlapping layers.

Abstract: An energy efficient a drying system and process using heated, dry air. The system includes an air inlet, a heat pump evaporator unit, a heat pump condenser unit, a drying unit, a heat exchanger unit, a fan, and air channels for transport of airflow from the air inlet through the system. The fan causes air to flow into the air inlet through the heat pump evaporator unit and to maintain an airflow through the system. The heat pump evaporator unit is configured to use a refrigerant to absorb heat from air that flows into the system through the heat pump evaporator unit. The heat pump condenser unit is configured to release the heat absorbed at the evaporator to the airflow. The heat exchanger unit is arranged to transfer heat from the airflow leaving the drying unit to the cold, dehumidified air flowing from the heat pump evaporator unit.

Abstract: Methods and systems described herein provide or use a wall structure for a hydrocarbon storage vessel. The wall structure includes an inner layer comprising a first rubber compound, a center layer comprising a fabric having a barrier layer applied to each side, and an outer layer comprising a second rubber compound.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic retractable float for use with a crab net including a body which floats in water and an automatic retraction and extension mechanism for automatically extending and retracting line from the body. In use the line is attached to the crab net, the crab net deployed and the body floats when in water towards the surface of the water. The automatic extension and retraction mechanism causes the line to be extended and retracted between the body on the surface of the water and the crab net, substantially keeping the line taut to help prevent tangling. The invention also relates to a method of use.

Abstract: A salvaging device, particularly for a personal device such as a smartphone dropped into a body of water. A housing has an opening and a gas cartridge. A triggering mechanism is further packed within the housing, which includes a lever arm. A main spring is above the lever arm cocking the lever arm in a downward position. A plunger is aligned with the gas cartridge. A water-soluble retainer abuts the lever, wherein upon the retainer dissolving in a water environment, the main spring recoils to thereby unload the plunger into the gas cartridge such that gas can exit the opening. A balloon is connected at the opening inflatable by the gas to thereby provide a buoyancy force to the handheld device upon inflation.

Abstract: An inflatable float tank for providing a therapeutic sensory deprivation session. The inflatable float tank includes opaque inflatable sidewalls including a drop-stitch material. The drop stitch material includes opposing walls with stitched threads extending at acute angles from one another. When uninflated these internal stitch structures are allowed to collapse and provide substantially foldable and pliable deflated sidewalls as opposed to substantially rigid sidewalls upon inflation. The inflatable float tank is filled with float solution including water and Epsom salt heated to skin temperature so as to provide a highly buoyant float environment with a lack of sensory stimulation. The inflatable float tank exhibiting improved insulation within the tank and ease of assembly. The inflatable float tank and assembly thereof doesn't require rigid support structures such as poles and joints.

Abstract: A full contact pontoon floating deck is revealed. An upper and a lower assembly grooves are disposed concavely on an upper and a lower ends of each of two sides of a pontoon respectively. A connecting rod is connected to the two pontoons by upper connecting members and lower connecting members. One end of the upper connecting member and one end of the lower connecting member are connected to the upper and the lower assembly grooves of the pontoon respectively by upper and lower assembly members while an upper and a lower connecting portions on the other end of the upper and the lower connecting members are connected to an upper and a lower connecting grooves of the connecting rod respectively. Thereby the tight connection forms a fully-sealed design with good support strength. No vapor space is formed so that environmental requirements are met.
