Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed that assist a user in performing proper setup of a vehicle suspension. A user may utilize a device equipped with an image sensor to assist the user in proper setup of a vehicle suspension. The device executes an application that prompts the user for input and instructs the user to perform a number of steps for adjusting the suspension components. In one embodiment, the application does not communicate with sensors on the vehicle. In another embodiment, the application may communicate with various sensors located on the vehicle to provide feedback to the device during the setup routine. In one embodiment, the device may analyze a digital image of a suspension component to provide feedback about a physical characteristic of the component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of regulating biological functions in a mammal that are mediated, at least in part, by the circadian clock.

Abstract: A vertical shaft furnace for and a method of efficiently melting aluminum and aluminum alloys substantially completely by convection is disclosed. The vertical shaft furnace has a generally cylindrical cross-section with a refractory liner and a cast refractory hearth having a concave, generally conical shape. A plurality of downwardly inclined burners are provided in the walls of the furnace arranged in such a way as to prevent the high velocity burner flame from blowing the aluminum material to be melted across the furnace and into burners on the opposite furnace wall.

Abstract: A portable and foldable toilet seat is disclosed which comprises a thin shell having curved edges which snugly fits over the top of a permanent toilet seat to prevent slippage and includes a stack of disposable liners within said shell. After use, the liner in contact with the permanent toilet seat is peeled away from the stack of liners and appropriately disposed of. The seat may then be folded into a compact quarter oval shape devoid of any contamination from the permanent toilet seat.
