Abstract: A mirror assembly is disclosed. The mirror assembly includes a housing and a mirror that are movable with respect to one another. The mirror assembly includes a plurality of primary adjustment mechanisms. Each primary adjustment mechanism includes a conical washer, a hollow adjuster screw comprising external threads configured to threadedly engage the housing, a wave spring fitting over said hollow adjuster screw, a jam nut seated atop said wave spring, and a spherical head screw configured to threadedly engage the mirror.

Abstract: A system of built-in, closely spaced passageways or piping containing numerous, small, closely-spaced holes, provided as an integral or separate part of the underlayment in a typical wall-to-wall carpet flooring installation. The piping network includes a manifold and access port which can be quickly and conveniently connected, from above or below the floor, to a typical motorized water pump or vacuum device, for the purpose of suctioning and drying large quantities of standing water, caused by accidental flooding for example, from within the carpet without the need for costly emergency professional services and equipment as is the norm today. The pump could be connected either from above or below the carpet floor as desired for convenience. The system can be provided at the time of new carpet installations or as a retrofit kit for existing installations and is scalable to any size of floor area in homes or buildings.

Abstract: A pin pulling device moves a member such as a pin or shaft by a non-pyrotechnic actuation force, such as a spring(s). The actuation member or spring(s) is (are) held in the compressed and loaded position by a release mechanism, such as an explosive bolt coupled to the member through a retainer. When activated by a signal, the release mechanism is severed from the retainer and the member is actuated by the force of the actuation member or compressed springs as the springs expand.
