Abstract: A system for orienting objects relative to an anatomical feature of a patient includes a guide with a reference guide surface. The system also includes a referencing object that is guided by the reference guide surface toward the anatomical feature to be fixed to the anatomical feature in a reference orientation relative to the anatomical feature. Moreover, the system includes an instrument with at least a portion that is transparent. The referencing object is viewable through the transparent portion of the instrument to align the referencing object with the instrument and to orient the instrument in the reference orientation relative to the anatomical feature.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fence system including a top rail and bottom rail spaced from each other and having opposing ends. A plurality of spaced elongate members extends between the top and bottom rails, adjacent elongate members of the plurality of elongate members defining a space therebetween. A plurality of boards is provided with one of the plurality of boards being disposed in the spaces formed by the elongate members. The plurality of boards includes opposed side edges. A pair of posts are spaced from one another and securable to the ends of the top and bottom rail. The posts each include a peripheral wall defining a post interior. The peripheral wall having a first and second rail opening formed therein for receiving the ends of the top and bottom rail respectively. The ends of the top and bottom rails extend into the post interior. The peripheral wall further including a slot formed therein.

Abstract: A protective ear appliance including two ear protectors with a band and a slidable coupling between the band and the ear protectors. The band encircles a portion of a wearer's head, has a curved shape with two ends and inner and outer curved surfaces. There is a slidable coupling between each of the ear protectors and the band so that each ear protector can slide independently with respect to the band to adjust the distance between the two ear protectors along the band so that the ear protectors can seat in the wearer's ears. The band can be formed with a central band hingedly coupled to the two end band portions. The ear protectors are coupled to the end band portions and slide relative to the end band portions. The protective ear appliance is designed to be worn with the central band around the back of the wearer's head.

Abstract: A modular pool system including a plurality of pivotally connected panels disposed side end to side end defining an enclosed pool perimeter wall. The panels are pivotable with respect to each other to form a pool perimeter wall configuration. A pool liner is secured to the pool perimeter wall for retaining water within the pool perimeter wall.

Abstract: A structure for permitting connectors to be passed through a support from back to front is herein disclosed. The structure includes a channel formed in the support from a rear surface to a front surface. A connector passed through the channel may be coupled to a terminal disposed on the front surface of the support.

Abstract: An above ground swimming pool is made up of a plurality of posts, wherein each post is a blow-molded unit having a base portion and a top portion with a coping seat. A plurality of coping members also blow-molded are each telescopically received one end to the other at the coping seat of the top of each post, and a one-piece fastener engages the overlapping telescopic ends of the coping members to the top of the post. A bracket is provided at the base of the post, the bracket having a rail for receiving track segments wherein an elongated flexible metal wall is inserted. The coping member retains the top of the flexible wall against the post.

Abstract: A system to provide foot protection against anti-personnel land mines is designed for use by mine clearance personnel and includes a raised frame having a central foot support location thereon which ensures a spacing of the wearer's foot above the ground surface of from 10 to 30 cm. The ground-engaging parts of the frame are spaced forwardly and rearwardly of the foot location and the frame includes on its underside blast protection material, the combined results of these measures being to greatly attenuate the blast and fragmentation effects of an exploding mine on the foot of the user. Moreover, the underside of the structure, including legs, is aerodynamically shaped to deflect the blast wave loading and fragments generated by the mine detonation.
