  • Patent number: 10279242
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel skateboard truck. More particularly, the present invention pertains to skateboard truck with two independently adjustable pivot points that achieve a unique variable turning motion without affecting the skateboard's stability. Additionally, the skateboard truck includes an offset axle that swings towards the direction of the turn, thus shifting the wheels away from the side of the skateboard, eliminating wheel bite, and increasing stability.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8540653
    Abstract: An apparatus for mechanically ventilating a patient is provided to have two separate components movably arranged with respect to one another within a flexible, air-tight covering fit about the torso of a patient. When the components move away from one another within the air-tight covering, negative pressure is generated which causes the patient to draw air into the lungs. Conversely, when the components stop moving away from one another within the air-tight covering, the patient's natural exhalation recoil takes over to allow the patient to expel the air from within the patient's lungs. A ventilator for helping a patient such as a premature infant breathe when placed in a chamber, is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20130228990
    Abstract: A novel skateboard made of clear material that utilizes various lighting methods to illuminate the skateboard in various ways. It allows the user to set the lighting of the board by using a remote control so that the user may control the lighting while skateboarding. Further, the deck is designed with a convex shape such that it curves upward in order to account for the weight of its users. The novel skateboard comprises of lights, light controller, remote control, manual switch, and battery pack. The lights may be set to illuminate the board, change colors, or pulsate at different colors and at different rates.

  • Publication number: 20120330204
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to both therapeutic cushioning designed to support the head of a patient in bed to improve respiration and a series of devices designed to assist a patient's respiration and administer fluid to the patient, by ensuring such devices cannot be inadvertently removed from the patient in the absence of medical personnel and cause unwanted injury to the patient. At the same, time, a device is provided to assist a patient's breathing in the absence of such assistive devices, e.g., during sleep.
