Abstract: A system for payload delivery and drone recovery, wherein the system functions with the use of a lightweight parachute and a directional control module. The system can include a drop system for payload delivery, wherein the drop system releases the parachute and payload upon reaching a target site. The system can also include a recovery system, wherein the recovery system deploys the parachute and steers the failed drone to a target site. A lightweight ram-air parachute is used to provide a lighter steerable parachute system.

Abstract: A pneumatic pressure probe comprises an orifice tube extending through a plastic bushing that seals a pressure chamber. The orifice tube has a passage shaped substantially like a converging/diverging de Laval nozzle to reduce turbulence in fluid flow through the probe. More laminar fluid flow reduces noise and inaccuracy in the output of the probe. Laminar flow also reduces user dependent results. The plastic bushing and a specially shaped probe tip reduce extraneous fluid leakages from the probe.

Abstract: A furnace has a cabinet having at least one wall at least partially defining an interior space of the cabinet, a heat exchanger disposed in the interior space, and a protrusion formed integrally with the at least one wall, the protrusion extending generally inward into the furnace to at least partially obstruct a circulation airflow through the cabinet.

Abstract: A composite ocular blood flow analyzer uses pneumatic tonometric techniques and structures to produce accurate, stable, and repeatable readings of intraocular pressure. A computer processes the intraocular pressure readings to produce data relating to various aspects of ocular blood flow that can be used diagnostically to identify abnormalities in the eye and other parts of the body.

Abstract: The present invention features a novel use of processed ingredients from the Indian mulberry plant, and particularly a novel use of one or more processed Morinda citrifolia-based naturaceutical formulations comprising one or more of a processed Morinda citrifolia fruit juice, puree juice, oil or oil extract, dietary fiber, alcohol extract, etc., for inhibiting and preventing the overgrowth of Candida fungus and for treating Candidiasis and its associated symptoms.

Abstract: The present invention features a formulation from the Indian mulberry plant (Morinda citrifolia ) comprising Morinda citrifolia fruit juice, Morinda citrifolia oil, quercetin, Morinda citrifolia puree juice and Morinda citrifolia dietary fiber treating Candidiasis.

Abstract: Methods and formulations that utilize components of the Indian Mulberry plant, scientifically known as Morinda citrifola L., to treat one or more oral and dental disorders, including periodontal diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis, tooth decay, halitosis, and other mouth disorders and irritations.

Abstract: The present invention advances prior art animal food products by providing an animal food product formulated with Garicinia mangostana L., or Mangosteen fruit, from the Mangosteen plant. The addition of Mangosteen to the animal food product of the present invention serves to provide significant health advantages not found in prior art animal food products.

Abstract: In a piano pedal assembly adapted to control the duration and amplitude of musical tones or notes generated by a piano, the individual pedals of the assembly when attached to the piano, are maintained in their normal position under pressure and adapted when depressed to pivot about a pin. The assembly is mounted on a support such as a base plate, and a pair of pedal mounting blocks having a cylindrical opening, for securing opposite sides of the pivot pin, are mounted within openings in the base plate. The pedal mounting blocks are formed from a low friction material such as Nylon or Teflon and function to provide and maintain precise registration of the individual pedals within the assembly. The piano pedal assembly utilizes fewer and less complex parts and components than prior art assemblies whereby the assembly time and fabrication cost of pedal assemblies are substantially reduced.
