Abstract: A system and method for forming a sensor. The method includes forming a template and forming a hydroxy double salt layer intermediate. The method further includes forming a metal-organic framework (MOF) film. A method of forming a sensor. One embodiment of the method includes forming a template and forming a hydroxy double salt layer intermediate. The method further includes forming a metal-organic framework (MOF) film and forming a hybrid MOF/conducting metal oxide structure.

Abstract: An apparatus for in-line re-calibration of engine load signal, the apparatus having a housing and a first connector disposed on the housing, adapted to plug into an electrical connection socket of an automotive air intake sensor. A second connector is disposed on the housing, adapted to mimic the electrical connection socket of the automotive air intake sensor. An electronic circuit is disposed in the housing, the electronic circuit adapted to re-calibrate signals from the automotive air intake sensor and deliver the re-calibrated signals the to the second connector. The housing is adapted to plug in-line directly into the electrical connection socket of the automotive air intake sensor, whereby the corresponding electrical wiring connector to an engine control unit plugs directly into the second connector of the housing, completing the inline connection.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, methods and systems for integrating one or more applications and/or data sources to present a combined application employing data from the one or more applications and/or data sources. The one or more combined applications may employ data from the source applications and/or data sources, or be relevant to the context presented by the one or more combined applications.

Abstract: A method of modifying an engine after the engine has been initially sold by the manufacturer of the engine, wherein the engine has an air intake pipe and an air flow sensor, wherein the air intake pipe has an exterior wall surface and an interior wall surface, and wherein the air flow sensor has a sensing head disposed at a first location within the air intake pipe spaced apart from the interior wall surface of the air intake pipe, includes the step of: repositioning the sensing head from the first location to a second location, wherein the second location is closer to the interior wall surface of the air intake pipe than the position of the sensing head at the first location.

Abstract: A bathtub assembly includes a tub portion having a bowl with a backrest, a right footrest, a left footrest and a right and left armrest which respectfully extends from each footrest to the backrest. The backrest is generally concave in shape and flows from a bowl bottom. Opposite the backrest is a wall which flows into the bowl bottom. The right footrest and the left footrest are convex in shape and flank the wall. The right and left armrests are generally convex in shape along the length of the bowl sidewall.

Abstract: The present invention is a tub and shower enclosure FORMED FROM three pieces. A wet wall, back wall, and dry wall are each formed separately. Living hinges connects the wet wall to one end of the back wall and the dry wall to the opposing end of the back wall. The hinges allow the wet wall and dry wall to be folded into positions that are generally parallel to the back wall for shipping.

Abstract: Shoulder supports extend from a shower enclosure wall and support a shower accessory. The shoulders have an attachment on the side for the shower accessories. The selected shower accessory would have a mating attachment on each of its ends to correspond to two shoulders extending from the enclosure walls. The attachment is preferably a male/female indentation on one of the shoulders and shower accessory and a corresponding attachment on the other. The indentations provide a non-permanent attachment of the shower accessory to the supports so that the chosen accessory may later be removed and replaced if desired.

Abstract: A tub has a tub wall that has an upper surface. An outer portion of the upper surface extends vertically upward of an inner portion. A door track is mounted on the inner portion to protect users from the door track.

Abstract: A molded tub and shower surround includes a multitude of molded components which are separately attachable to a wall portion at predefined locations. The multitude of mounting locations are provided such that various molded components may be selected and attached in accordance with the desires of a particular user.

Abstract: A shower system provides a corner shower unit which includes a track defined along a vertical height thereof. A lumbar support and a multitude of showerheads are mounted to the track for vertical adjustment. The lumbar support permits a bather standing in the shower to lean against the lumbar support while a multitude of spray jets provide a massage action directly to the bather. A steam generation system is incorporated into the corner shower unit to mist steam from steam ports such that shower may also be utilized as a steam room.
