Abstract: A door security apparatus includes a door-locking member and a sensor assembly. The door-locking member removably engages a plate. The door-locking member is a barricade that restricts movement of a door from a closed position to an open position while the door-locking member is engaged with the plate The sensor assembly is configured to detect engagement between the door-locking member and the plate.

Abstract: Described herein are various embodiments of a valve that may be opened and closed using a thixotropic or “stress yield” material, or other material that temporarily changes phase upon application of energy to the material. More particularly, some embodiments may include a valve that is opened and closed using a granular gel that is a temporary phase change material.

Abstract: A flame analytics system that may incorporate a burner, one or more sensors at the burner, a historical database connected to the one or more sensors, a model training module connected to the historical database, and a runtime algorithm module connected to the one or more sensors and the model training module. The runtime algorithm may compare realtime data from the one or more sensors and historical data from the model training module in accordance with a machine learning algorithm. The system may further incorporate a fault detection module connected to the runtime algorithm module, a fault diagnostics module connected to the fault detection module, and an enunciator connected to the fault detection module. The one or more sensors may also include having video or acoustic sensitivity of combustion in the burner.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to storage boxes commonly used to organize and store items such as school-related supplies that may be carried by a student. The storage boxes generally include a lid and a base. The base optionally includes a divider which provides for two or more storage portions within an interior of the base, while also acting as a functional grip on the outside of the box. A latch mechanism is provided which securely latches the lid and base together in a closed configuration.

Abstract: Provided is a hose including a first connector assembly including a regulator assembly, a second connector assembly, and a hose assembly coupled to the first and second connector assemblies. The hose assembly includes an inner hose member having first and second ends, an outer hose member having first and second ends, a first hose connector assembly coupled to the first ends of the inner hose member and outer hose member and the first connector assembly, and a second hose connector assembly coupled to the second ends of the inner hose member and outer hose member and the second connector assembly.

Abstract: An animal paw cleaning device that includes a brush component and a backing component that is connectable to the brush component.

Abstract: A door security device may restrict movement of a swinging door. The security device may include first and second door members and a connecting member. The first and second door members may be mounted to first and second door panels, respectively. The first and second door members include first and second slots, respectively. The connecting member has first end with a shape configured to mate with the first and second slots to permit the first end to slide into the first and second slots such that the connecting member extends out of the first slot and the second slot through openings in the first outer face and the second outer face.

Abstract: A security container that can be easily and securely connected to a fixed structure such as, but not limited to, a rod, pole, handle, latch, etc. such that the security container can be securely and easily connected and disconnected from the fixed structure.

Abstract: Provided herein are materials, methods of making materials, and methods of use, wherein the materials have switchable adhesive properties. Materials of the present disclosure can reversibly change coloration in conjunction with the changing adhesive state. The films, made from a porous polymer material, can be reversibly changed from a smooth state to a rough state, allowing for reversible and tunable gripping and/or adhesive properties.

Abstract: A burner apparatus and method of operating the burner apparatus include a burner housing, and a group of fuel and air swirlers maintained by the burner housing, with the group of fuel and air swirlers supplied by a common fuel and air source. The fuel and air can be directed to one or more of the fuel and air swirlers at a time. Each fuel and air swirler among the group of fuel and air swirlers can mix the fuel and the air, resulting in a combustible mixture of the fuel and the air downstream of the group of fuel and air swirlers. The burner apparatus be implemented as a low NOx multi-port burner apparatus.

Abstract: A practice putting device that includes a putting mat, a housing, and ball return arrangement.

Abstract: A machine to apply tape to a surface includes a handle for manipulation by a user connected to a wheeled applicator allowing the tape to be dispensed from the applicator and rolled onto a surface. The applicator includes two sidewalls adjustable relative to each other on guide bars to define space therebetween where rolls of tape having different widths can be accommodated. The sidewalls further include bottom portions shaped complimentarily with the wheel to define a path sized for a width of the tape around the wheel, and where the sidewalls further define a path sized for the width of the tape over at least one guide bar. The applicator also may include a clutched take-up reel operatively connected to the wheel, where rotation of the wheel causes the take-up reel to rotate and collect a liner.

Abstract: A practice putting device that includes a rollable putting mat, a housing, and ball return arrangement.

Abstract: A security device can be provided to selectively restrict or prevent the opening of a sliding door, sliding window, or other sliding panel or other closure. For example, the security device can include a base plate that selectively engages a barricade member (or lock rail). While the barricade member is engaged with the base plate (in a locked state), the barricade member and base plate cooperate to restrict or prevent the sliding door, window, panel or other closure from moving to an open position (or moving out of a closed position). The barricade member can be moved relative to the base plate (to an unlocked state) to allow unrestricted movement of the sliding door, window, panel or other closure. The security device can include stop members that may restrict or prevent complete removal of the barricade member from the base plate.
