  • Patent number: 11963739
    Abstract: In order to improve both spatial resolution and sensitivity for brain research and clinical activity, we have designed a combined PET/MRI insert for brain scanning, referred to herein as a “BrainPET insert” that can be fit onto and into a suitable MRI system. The BrainPET Insert comprises, in order, a receive (Rx) coil positioned within and adjacent to a transmit (Tx) coil and a PET ring, wherein both the Rx coil and the Tx coil are within the PET ring.

  • Patent number: 11213834
    Abstract: A showerhead bracket including a bracket body, a spool rotatable relative to the bracket body, and a flow control knob non-rotatably connected to the spool such that the flow control knob and the spool rotate together relative to the bracket body. The flow control knob non-slidably connected to the spool to inhibit axial disengagement of the flow control knob from the spool.

  • Patent number: 10730061
    Abstract: A coupling for fluid pathways, such as for use in connecting showerheads to a fluid source. The coupling includes a fixed member, a movable member rotatably connected to the fixed member, and a locking assembly connected to the fixed member and received within the movable member. In response to a rotational force exceeding a predetermined threshold the locking assembly permits rotation of the movable member relative to the fixed member and when the rotational force drops below the predetermined threshold, the locking assembly prevents rotation of the movable member to the fixed member.

  • Patent number: 10532369
    Abstract: A showerhead bracket having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a valve and a valve housing. The valve may be operably connected between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The valve includes a valve inlet port, a low flow exit port and a high flow exit port. The valve housing is disposed between the fluid inlet and the valve inlet port. The valve can selectively rotate within the valve housing.

  • Publication number: 20120064956
    Abstract: A system and method of web-based computer software and hardware is disclosed for recording and analyzing sports statistics to allow a sports team to evaluate the efficiency of its team, players, lineups, games, plays, playbooks, and other related attributes. Computerized algorithms analyze thousands of complex event outcomes based on various user specifications to produce innumerable statistical results. The system is optimized for use on a touch-screen tablet computer but can also be accessed via any computing device with a web browser and an Internet connection. The invention is designed to be used in real-time, but can also be used after the game to record event information or analyze previously recorded data.
