Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that include providing a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system with a system controller and an indoor air handling unit comprising an auxiliary heat source, whereby the system controller is configured to employ a hysteresis control algorithm to operate the HVAC system in a cooling mode while simultaneously operating the auxiliary heat source to provide a dehumidified, temperature-conditioned airflow to a zone conditioned by the HVAC system.

Abstract: This device is designed to replace and improve upon traditional framing lumber commonly used in home and commercial construction projects. The main problem that is addressed in this proposed improvement is the time that it takes to measure and mark lumber to be cut to specific lengths for the purpose of construction. This device serves to address this problem by pre-marking the lumber with conventional dimensional measurements (inches, centimeters, etc) that can be easily seen and used by the craftsman when cutting the lumber to the desired length.

Abstract: This device is designed to significantly improve the diagnostic value of Electrocardiography by reducing the time for placement of Electrocardiogram (EKG) leads on a patient and reducing technician variability in performing EKGs. By utilizing an elastomeric harness to which EKG leads can be pre-attached, the harness can be applied to the patient very rapidly and provide faster and more reliable information for the patient's care.

Abstract: This device is designed to provide a secure mounted holder for a child's drinking cup. Most child cups are now designed to be spill proof but they are still often dropped or thrown by the child off of the high chair tray or table and onto the floor. This is very inconvenient and potentially dangerous. This device is designed to remedy that situation by creating a semi-rigid but flexible device to mount to the tray or table and attach to the child cup in such a manner to hold it up off the tray and be able to be bent over by the child enabling the child to take a drink. After drinking, the child can let go of the cup and the device with attached cup will return to its upright or semi-upright position thus avoiding spills and dropped cups.

Abstract: This device is a compressible chamber designed to inject a liquid medication through a plurality of needles. It is a self-contained, rapidly deployed device that replaces a classic syringe. It consists of a shallow chamber that is closed on one end and sealed on the other with a sliding elastomeric seal. A rigid ring slides up into the chamber that has multiple small double-ended needles mounted through the periphery of the ring perpendicularly so as to be able to perforate the seal of the chamber with the proximal end and simultaneously penetrate the subcutaneous tissues with the distal end thus allowing medication to flow from the chamber into the tissues when pressure is applied to the top of the chamber. The needles are also imbedded in, or juxtapose to a ring of compressible dye-containing material that serves to conceal the needles and provide demarcation of the area injected.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) furnace has a venturi premixer and a disturber disposed downstream relative to the premixer and in an undivided output of the venturi premixer.

Abstract: An anti entrapment fail safe drain having a drain cover for partially covering an influent opening; a pressurized supply line; and a nozzle assembly in communication with the pressurized supply line and mounted within a drain sump. The nozzle assembly is for directing a pressurized liquid in a pattern over a surface of the drain cover when the drain cover and the nozzle are immersed in the liquid such that a portion of the liquid above the pattern or objects suspended in standing liquid can not be pulled directly toward the drain cover through a drain inlet opening. The drain also has an effluent opening for connecting to the drain sump arranged such that the liquid flows into a pipe in a first direction. The pressurized supply line is arranged inside the pipe for returning the liquid to the nozzle assembly in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Abstract: This is a Rapid Local Anesthesia Linear Injection Device. It is made of a very simple triangular shaped piece of clear plastic with encased conduits connecting a flange on the tip of the cone where a Luer lock syringe can attach, and the base where there are a multiple tiny hypodermic needles protruding from the base of the triangle. The number of needles would be directly proportional to the length of the base of the device. It would be available in many sizes identified by the shape and the length of the base.

Abstract: A fluid strainer device is disclosed. The device includes a housing which defines an open chamber, the chamber having both at least one fluid input port and at least one fluid outlet port. A plurality of spaced strainer baskets are disposed within the chamber. Each basket has a pair of spaced perforated side panels, a perforated rear panel, a perforated top panel and an open front portion in fluid communication with the chamber fluid input port. Finally, each strainer basket is aligned within the chamber for fluid flow from the chamber input port into the basket's open front portion and out through the perforations thereof to filter debris from the fluid while preventing substantial fluid pressure drop between the input and outlet ports substantially independent of debris buildup within the basket.
