Publication number: 20240050209Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are generally directed to facilitating user control of high-pressure flow of liquid for oral irrigation carried out as part of personal dental care. Such control over high-pressure flow may reduce the likelihood of errant spray of liquid outside of the user's mouth (e.g., onto mirrors, countertop surfaces, or the user's clothes). Such improved control over errant spraying may reduce the potential for frustration and, thus, may promote maintaining oral irrigation as part of a personal dental care routine. Further, or instead, through facilitating user control of high-pressure flow of liquid, the devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure may improve the effectiveness and efficiency of self-administered oral irrigation in promoting a user's oral hygiene.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Henry FRATTI, Eric Glenn HARSH, Steffany V. TRAN, Nathan A. HERRMANN, Simon J. M. ENEVER, William MAY, Sean James WILSON, James C. KRAUSE, Maxwell R. WOOD-LEE, Paul B. KOH, Jonathan Pradeep AUSTIN

Publication number: 20220008767Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for protecting buildings which are likely to fall in the path of wildfire and/or strong wind are disclosed. The apparatus comprises two main parts: the first part comprises a set of rigid poles pre-installed in the ground surrounding a building to be protected, and, the second part comprises a set of frames, each frame supporting a mesh that, when extended over the building to be protected, shields at least a portion of the building underlying the mesh from the destructive force of fire and/or strong wind. The set of frames with its corresponding meshes, when assembled together, forms a continuous protective pyramid-shaped net that covers the entire building. The set of frames and the set of rigid poles have complementary mechanical receptacles to lock with one another so that the rigid poles collectively provide ground support when the frames are deployed over the building.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2020Publication date: January 13, 2022Inventor: Hung V.
