Abstract: A vehicle balloon assembly for protecting a vehicle from hail damage includes balloon that is selectively positioned to cover a vehicle protect the vehicle from hail damage. A blower is fluidly coupled to the balloon and the blower selectively inflates and deflates the balloon. In this way the balloon absorbs impact energy from hail. A remote control is provided and the remote control is in electrical communication with the blower. Thus, the remote control selectively turns the blower on and off.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating mammalian brain injuries, which entails administering human neuropotentiating cells to a brain of a mammal in need thereof in order to enhance dendritic and axonal plasticity, and axonal transport.

Abstract: A light fixture includes a lamp engine, an electronic module connected to the lamp engine and a photometric module mounted to the light engine. The electronic module is connected to the light source and an associated power source for providing power to the light source. The photometric module mounts to the light engine and creates a beam pattern that illuminates a substantial portion of an entire associated subject area. The method of illuminating a large area includes determining a subject area to be illuminated by a plurality of light sources and determining a desired lighting criteria for the subject area. A first light source is provided and light emitted from the first light source is directed to illuminate the subject area. Additional light sources are provided and directed to provide additional light to illuminate the same portion of the subject area until the desired lighting criteria are met.

Abstract: A high lumen output illumination device includes a light source secured on a ballast housing and a reflector. At least one reflective element redirects light emanating from the source along a direction of interest. At least one support element gives the reflective element a useful optical shape and aids in the retention of the optical shape. The reflector is capable of being transitioned between two orientations, an open orientation, where the reflector is functional, and a collapsed orientation, where the reflector occupies a greatly reduced amount of space. The reflector includes a fastening means that allows the reflector to be removed from the ballast housing, and re-attached to the ballast housing when desired.

Abstract: A vacuum diverter valve for a vacuum cleaner is located in a generally cylindrical valve housing with a vacuum outlet and first and second inlets circumferentially placed thereabout. The valve slideably engages the valve housing, and an interior wall on the valve defines a passage to allow communication between the vacuum outlet, and the first inlet or second inlet, or combination thereof. The valve is preferably formed with a clear plastic outboard endwall for viewing.
