Abstract: Grafts containing intact hair follicles are transected into smaller grafts containing transected follicles. Each smaller graft is then implanted individually into incisions within a recipient area.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for the automatic advance warning of imminent automatic door closure to passengers of public transportation vehicles. Comprised of a panel mounted above the automatic door, comprising an alarm light, a message display area, and a speaker capable of producing audible alarm warnings as well as audible verbal warning messages, it is capable of warning incoming passengers that automatic door closure is imminent. When a door close signal is received from existing door control circuitry, the apparatus is activated and it produces the audible and visual warning messages. After an appropriate delay period the audible and visual warning devices are deactivated and a door close signal is issued to the existing automatic doors and associated door safety guard circuitry.

Abstract: A top piece is adapted to rest along a top surface of a monitor, and two side pieces extend downwardly from opposite ends of the top piece, and are adapted to rest along opposite side surfaces of the monitor. The top piece and the side pieces each include slots disposed longitudinally therein, through which sheets of paper may be inserted. Each of the side pieces has a support arm pivotally attached thereto, which swings outwardly from the side piece to support the sheet of paper. The top piece is telescopingly adjustable, to fit various size monitors. The side pieces each include a threaded extension at one end thereof, for attaching the side piece to the top piece. An internally threaded knob is rotatably mounted at each end of the top piece, and is configured to receive the threaded extension by manually rotating the knob. Each of the side pieces has a first bearing track and a second bearing track which is opposite the first bearing track.

Abstract: A golf putter includes a head, a shaft, and a sighting apparatus attached to the shaft such that a geometric plane containing both a longitudinal axis of the sighting apparatus and a longitudinal axis of the shaft forms a right angle with a face of the head. When the shaft is oriented vertically, and the hole or flag pole is viewable through the sighting apparatus, the face of the head of the golf putter is pointed toward the hole, thus aligning the golf putter for the putt.

Abstract: A channel-shaped elongated member has a first wall which is opposite a second wall, and a floor. The second wall has a distal portion, also bifurcated into a primary wall and a secondary wall, forming a receiving channel. There is also a sealing means for forming a watertight seal between an underlayment waterproofing material and the receiving channel. In one embodiment, the receiving channel is composed of a malleable material wherein the primary wall of the receiving channel is externally marked in order to provide a guideline for crimping the channel thereby ensuring a watertight seal after the application of caulk. In another embodiment, the primary wall of the receiving channel is angled toward the secondary wall in order to firmly receive an underlayment waterproofing material, thereby forming a watertight seal when caulk is added.

Abstract: A storm shelter is provided having a modular rectangular shelter housing. An egress port extends slightly above the shelter housing, such that the housing can be buried underground with the egress port extending slightly above ground. A reinforced, sliding access door is mounted at the egress port, and a stairway is provided to allow descent into the shelter housing. A plurality of seat boxes is provided which can be utilized to contain tools, supplies, or the like, with a seat lid pivotally mounted in a hinged manner to each seat box. Each step is provided with a non-skid surface, and is sufficiently large enough to provide a seating surface. The top stair has an accessible cut-out panel for allowing an emergency jack to pass through. An emergency jack can be utilized to forcibly remove the door, should the door become stuck or blocked from the outside.

Abstract: A brassiere comprises a pair of cups, a pair of shoulder straps, and a pair of body straps adapted to cross each other, to extend around sides of a person wearing the brassiere, and to fasten to each other at distal ends of the body straps. The shoulder straps and the body straps include hook and loop fasteners for fastening the straps about the person wearing the brassiere.

Abstract: A winch and rail assembly support structure is adapted to mount to a front of a vehicle. A winch is supported by the winch and rail assembly support structure. A rail assembly is configured to removably connect to the winch and rail assembly support structure. The rail assembly comprises two opposing elongated rails, each elongated rail comprising two opposing tracks, and a pulley supported at a distal end of the rails. A fork assembly comprises an elongated fork support arm configured to span between the rails, a pair of forks configured to connect to the fork support arm, and a plurality of roller wheels connected to the elongated fork support arm. A first pair of the roller wheels is configured to ride within the two opposing tracks of a first one of the rails, and a second pair of the roller wheels is configured to ride within the two opposing tracks of a second one of the rails.

Abstract: An elongated post includes a sleeve and an extension, the extension slidably retained within the sleeve. A handle is disposed at a free end of the extension. The sleeve has a first end near the handle and a second end opposite the first end. A pair of cylinder rests is provided, one each of the rests positioned on each of two opposite sides of the sleeve at the second end of the sleeve. The cylinder rests are foldable against the sleeve. A pair of cylinder straps is disposed on each side of the sleeve. Each pair of cylinder straps is adapted for holding a cylinder to the post, such that a distal end of the cylinder rests against one of the cylinder rests. The cylinder straps are foldable against the sleeve. A pair of shoulder straps is attached to the post for wearing the post on a human back. A pair of wheels is disposed at the second end of the sleeve.

Abstract: A substantially tubular body includes an open first end adapted for connection to a ventilator. The body further includes an open second end opposite the first end and adapted for connection to an endotracheal tube. An injection tube has a primary end and a secondary end. A pre-pierced, self-sealing injection port is disposed at the primary end of the injection tube and is adapted for insertion of the needle there-through and into the injection tube. The secondary end is connected to the body between the first end and the second end, whereby medication delivered through a needle inserted through the primary end will flow through the injection tube, into the body, then into the endotracheal tube, and will be atomized into a patient's lungs when the ventilator forces air through the endotracheal tube.

Abstract: A plurality of battery cells are each contained within a separate casing. Each cell has a positive terminal and a negative terminal, each terminal comprising a threaded post extending outwardly from the casing. A battery cable adapter is provided for electrical connection of the terminal to a battery cable. A conductive bar includes a first aperture configured to receive one of the posts of one of the cells, and a second aperture configured to receive one of the posts of an adjacent one of the cells. Nuts threadedly engage the posts to engage the conductive bar securely to the posts. An insulated connector cap is configured to cover the conductive bar and the posts received within the first and second apertures of the bar. A holder is configured to receive the cells together in an adjoining manner wherein at least one of the terminals of each of the cells is adjacent one of the terminals of an adjacent one of the cells.
