Abstract: Disclosed is a bicycle accessory generally comprised of at least one pontoon, a frame, front bicycle mounting hardware and rear bicycle mounting hardware, and a propulsion mechanism. A common bicycle is mounted on the front bicycle and rear bicycle mounting hardware and the combination placed on water deep enough to enable floatation of the watercraft, a bicycle and a rider thereupon. A rider climbs propels and directs the watercraft in the manner customary for bicycles on land.

Abstract: A multi-entertainment platform that combines the elements of a motion picture with the elements of a live performance using a theatre construction. An upper stage and a motion picture viewing screen arrangement allows the audience to experience continuous uninterrupted entertainment on screen and on stage with seamless transitions between stage to screen and screen to stage.

Abstract: A vehicle variable height adjustment strut assembly 10 adjusts height of a vehicle 100 and replaces a vehicle strut by being mounted at a vehicle strut mount location. Assembly 10 has a vehicle variable height adjustment system 15, a height adjustment air bag 40, and a shock absorber 50. System 15 includes an air bag strut tower coupler 20 and an air bag control arm coupler 30. Air bag strut tower coupler 20 is mounted to a vehicle strut tower 60, and air bag control arm coupler 30 is coupled to a vehicle control arm 70. Air bag 40 is coupled between the air bag strut tower coupler 20 and the air bag control arm coupler 30. Air bag 40 is inflated and deflated to respectively raise and lower the vehicle 100. An air pressure control system 110 is coupled to the height adjustment air bag(s) 40, and the air pressure control system 110 controls pressure levels of the air bag(s) 40.

Abstract: A spit-frame, heavy truck, suspension system for trucks that haul trailers made of three moveably interlocked rigid frames referred to as the front frame, rear frame, and interconnecting frame. The front frame supports the cab, engine, and transmission. The rear primary frame supports the drive axle and fifth wheel. The rear end of the interconnecting frame is pivotally mounted to the rear frame whereby the rear frame may rotate about a transverse axis. The front end of the interconnecting frame is mounted to the front frame in a manner that permits the interconnecting frame to rotate and pivot along its longitudinal axis relative to the front frame. Hydraulic cylinders are used to dampen vibrations and oscillations within this spit-frame structure.

Abstract: A liquid phase deposition method of mass producing substantially uniform silicon dioxide films on wafers by forming wafer sets from at least four wafers. The wafer sets are placed in a slotted polytetrafluroethylene polymer boat wherein a proper and short distance between the front surface of a wafer and another surface is created. Finally, a substantially uniform silicon dioxide film is deposited on the wafer surfaces by contacting the wafer sets with an aqueous supersaturated silicon dioxide solution comprising a mixture of hydrofluosilicic acid and boric acid.

Abstract: A flexible deburring tool for removing burrs from a metal component made of unitary construction having a handle and a tool head with a flexible shaft extending between them that allows the tool head to be positioned in hard to reach or tight fitting situations. The tool head is provided with a recess to receive a tool bit such as a deburring bit. The shaft is narrower than the handle and allows a range of flexation greater than 90 degrees.

Abstract: A light emitting safety wrap or sleeve worn by people and/or pets engaged in activities, or attached to objects during periods of limited visibility with flashing or blinking lights so as to be visible in darkness; powered by direct current; having three optional capabilities: (1) remote on-off switch and/or (2) digital voice/sound message and/or (3) Infared (IR) signaling lights.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method and computer program for determining possible configurations of a racing vehicle Four-Link assembly. A user of the computer program is prompted for measurements of the Four-Link assembly bracket apertures relative to the garage floor. The measurements are entered into the computer program to produce reference points for the vehicle. The computer program then permits a calculation of lines comprised of the relevant Four-Link assembly bracket apertures and an interpolation of points on each line representing a possible Four-Link configuration. The computer program then renders either a video display and/or a printout of the possible Four-Link configurations and the intersect points of the lines created by the interpolated lines representing Four-Link configurations.

Abstract: A passive mountaineering chock or stopper is provided and which comprises of a prismatoid body having a first skewed hexagonal base, a second, parallel hexagonal base, and six lateral trapezoidal faces forming three opposed pairs of faces, each face with one side lying in the first skewed hexagonal base and an opposite side on each trapezoidal face lying in the second skewed hexagonal base, where lengths of the sides of the skewed hexagonal base substantially obey the following relationship: a first side has a length, a fourth side opposite the first side is slightly larger than the first side, a third side, immediately adjacent to the fourth side, is the same length as the second side, a sixth side, opposite the third side and adjacent the first side is slightly longer than the third and fourth sides, a fifth side, immediately adjacent the sixth side is the same length as the sixth side, and a second side, opposite the fifth side and adjacent the first and third sides, is longer than the fifth and sixth side

Abstract: An exercise and rehabilitation machine for strengthening the torso muscles and rehabilitating back injuries includes an optional leg support and an angled torso platform further having attached a plurality of vibrational therapy pads and body pads whereby the angled torso platform cradles and supports that portion of weight attributable to the upper body, or torso, of a user, and if the leg support is not used, the user supports that portion of weight attributable to the lower body with the user's feet against the bottom surface of a room, or otherwise, if the leg support is included, the user supports that portion of weight attributable to the lower body with the user's legs draped over the leg support.

Abstract: The present invention is a vacuum valve assembly that creates vacuum on demand. The assembly has a body with a fluid inlet port, a fluid outlet port, a fluid flow channel extending between the fluid inlet port and the fluid outlet port, a vacuum port, a low pressure channel extending between the vacuum port and the fluid flow channel, a sensing member receiving channel, the sensing member receiving channel extending between the fluid flow channel and the low pressure channel, and a flow occlusion chamber that intersects the fluid flow channel. There is a sensing member with a fluid flow regulation portion and a sensing portion. The sensing portion is adapted to be movably received by the sensing member receiving channel. The sensing member is movable from a closed position to an open position.
