  • System And Method For Protective Eyewear Dispensing
    Publication number: 20190218018
    Abstract: A system and method for improved dispensing for protective eyewear components, including frames, lenses and assembled protective eyewear glasses, is described. A housing stores and dispenses the eyewear components through an opening. In an embodiment, the eyewear components may be detachably connected together, such as via perforations, and/or may be coiled in a roll or stacked in serpentine configuration within the housing. Also, in one embodiment, a lever or other mechanism may be coupled to the housing to provide advantageous operations of the dispenser, including assembling and/or dispensing the eyewear components. Accordingly, the system and method provides advantages in that rapid and hygienic dispensing of protective eyewear components may be provided.

  • Mobile Boom System
    Publication number: 20190169940
    Abstract: A boom system for transporting and deployment of utility service lines (such as cables, wires, hoses, pipes, etc.) from sources of the services to a drilling rig. The mobile boom system includes a mobile skid with posts located at opposite ends of the skid, and one or more articulating booms pivotally attached to each skid post. One or more articulating booms attached to a post at the first end of the skid can support and carry the service lines connected to the sources and one or more articulating booms attached to a post at the second end of the skid can support and carry the service lines connected to a drilling rig, or to an articulating boom extending from a drilling rig. The mobile articulating boom system can include means for moving and selectively positioning the mobile articulating boom system at a drilling site.

  • ACOUSTIC TESTING SYSTEM WITH HIGHLY CONDUCTIVE TRANSDUCER/ROD-END INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20190101511
    Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method for making a highly conductive transducer/rod-end interface structure to improve the accuracy of acoustic testing of the rod. In various embodiments, the invention includes creating an object from a metal cast affixed the rod end surface to compensate for planar variations and surface irregularities in the surface of the rod. It has been shown that the presence of planar deviation and surface irregularities materially interferes with acoustic testing.

  • Implementing focus indication of components displayed on a display device
    Patent number: 10191610
    Abstract: Focus indication is implemented for components displayed on a display device. A first signal is accepted from a first user input device to change focus to a first selected component on the display device. A focus indicator is provided in association with the first selected component in response to the first signal. A second signal is accepted from a mouse or touch user input device to change focus to a second selected component. A determination is made that focus has changed in response to an input from the mouse or touch user input device. Display of the focus indicator is suppressed for the second selected component in response to the determining.

  • Modular eye protection
    Patent number: 10098787
    Abstract: Modular eye protection may include a frame, temples, and a frame, which may comprise temples and a top bar. The modular eye protection may also include a modular headband with a forehead pad, lens, and elastic band. Both embodiments of the modular eye protection may be assembled with eye shield lenses or face shields lenses. Dispensing units may also dispense the various components of the modular eye protection. The modular nature, method of assembly, and dispensers allow for minimal physical contact with objects, mitigating contact with pathogens in areas such as surgical rooms where cleanliness is important. The modular eye protection may also be disposable to further prevent spreading of pathogens.

  • CYMBAL COVER
    Publication number: 20180247622
    Abstract: A cymbal cover and method of using a cymbal cover are provided that can allow for more complete coverage of a cymbal and that allow easy application and removal from a cymbal with minimal requirement for one to handle the cymbal directly with their hands. A cymbal cover comprises a resiliently stretchable, flexible cup-shaped body having a closed circular top and an open bottom defining an internal cavity and a bottom opening, a resiliently stretchable aperture disposed on the closed circular top, and a gathered closure mechanism adjacent the bottom opening. A method of using a cymbal cover comprises the steps of providing a cymbal, stretching a resiliently flexible cup-shaped body over the cymbal, and engaging a closure mechanism adjacent a bottom opening of the cup-shaped body to draw the bottom opening together on an underside of the cymbal.
