Abstract: A shower attachment device includes a funnel, an elastic cord, a cleat, and a hose. The funnel includes a top portion defining an inlet and a bottom portion defining an outlet. The elastic cord is coupled to a first side of the top portion. The cleat extends from a second side of the top portion that is opposite the first side. The cleat is configured to cooperate with the elastic cord to permit the elastic cord to be removably coupled to the second side of the top portion. The hose is attached to the outlet and in fluid communication with an interior of the funnel.

Abstract: A method of imaging a scene includes generating a temporally varying optical intensity pattern from at least one continuous wave (CW) light beam. The method also includes illuminating at least one portion of the scene with the temporally varying optical intensity pattern so as to cause a photon to scatter or reflect off the at least one portion of the scene. The photon reflected or scatted from the at least one portion of the scene is detected using a single-photon detector. Based on the temporally varying optical intensity pattern and a time of flight of the photon detected, a distance between the single-photon detector and the at least one portion of the scene is estimated.

Abstract: an inflatable packaging material comprises a plurality of flexible bladders formed of tubes sealed at one end and partially sealed at the other end to provide a passageway which may be closed by a stopper. In one embodiment, a protuberance extends from the sealed end of each bladder which may releasably engage the walls of a passageway of an adjacent bladder to join the bladders end-to-end. In a second embodiment, the sealed end includes an eyelet and the passageway end includes a stopper attached to such end by a flexible trunk such that the stopper of one bladder may releasably engage the eyelet of an adjacent bladder to join the bladders end-to-end. The bladders may line a carton to protect an article shipped therein.

Abstract: A ring-like, radial, shaft-sealing element that is provided with a relatively rigid sealing member embodied as a molded member. The sealing member is spaced from a support member, and is connected to the latter via a spring member. Formed between the sealing member and the support member is a radially effective, free spring portion that, during a radial movement or wobble of a shaft that is to be sealed off, has a sufficient elasticity in order to allow the radial movement to be followed. The sealing member has a relatively great thickness that alone provides for the static and dynamic sealing of the sealing element. The sealing member is disposed in a recessed portion of the spring member, with this recessed portion being opened in the direction toward the end face of the spring member. The sealing member extends beyond this end face, with this projecting portion of the sealing member sealingly resting against the shaft.

Abstract: A vibration damping element, particularly for electrical and/or electronic components, such as printed circuits, integrated circuits or internal connection (IC) bases, relay bases, and the like. The damping element has at least one fastening part, intended for the damping element and arranged on a damping member made of vibration damping material, and also has at least one support surface and holder or support for the components to be damped. The support surface is formed by a portion of the surface of the damping member, on which the structural components to be damped are directly supported. The holder for the structural components to be damped is formed by a part of the damping member itself.

Abstract: A radial-shaft sealing ring with a sleeve-like sealing body which has at least one sealing lip with at least one sealing edge. At least the end face of the sealing body is at least partially unevenly embodied, at least along the radially inner segment thereof, which adjoins the sealing edge.
