Abstract: A fuel shutoff valve system including a body, a first fluid flow path extending through the body, a second fluid flow path extending through the body, the second fluid flow path separate from the first fluid flow path, and a single shaft that extends through at least a portion said the fluid flow path and through at least a portion of the second fluid flow path, the shaft adapted for movement between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the first and second fluid flow paths are open, and wherein in the second position the first and second fluid flow paths are closed.

Abstract: A fuel tank cap including a body, a seal carrier movably positioned within the body, a first seal positioned on the seal carrier and configured for sealably engaging a filler tube opening of a fuel tank, and a second seal positioned on the seal carrier and configured for sealably engaging the body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a carrying sling for a person including a flexible sheet, and an elongate flexible member secured in first, second, third and fourth locations to the sheet, the first and second locations defining a first leg loop there between, the first and third locations defining a second leg loop there between, the fourth location defining a torso support, the second and fourth locations defining a first handle there between for lifting the sheet, and the third and fourth locations defining a second handle there between for lifting the sheet.

Abstract: One embodiment of a module for a marine vessel includes a base that has a cavity for securing a variety of cargos therein, and a top plate that defines a perimeter and a top surface, the perimeter adapted to define a water-tight seal with a hull of a marine vessel and the top surface defining a smooth plane having a substantial absence of steps and gaps therein.

Abstract: One embodiment of an anti-thrombogenic device includes a substrate, an attachment compound including a first end directly, mechanically secured to the substrate a second end positioned opposite the substrate, and an anti-thrombogenic species bonded to the second end of the attachment compound.

Abstract: One embodiment of a thermal relief vent includes a float including a side surface and a top surface, and a seal secured to the surface of the float and extending over the top surface of the float.

Abstract: One embodiment of an hair lift device includes an elongate flexible member and a locking mechanism that adjustably secures the elongate flexible member in position to allow a wearer to adjust a position of their hair.

Abstract: A measuring device including an elongate member that defines a first surface and a first end, and a measuring pattern on the first surface, the measuring pattern including a plurality of one inch blocks positioned adjacent each other, each of the one inch blocks centered on a whole inch number as measured from the first end of the elongate member, the measuring pattern including an absence of measuring lines within each of the plurality of the one inch blocks.

Abstract: An improved thermal relief vent for a fuel tank, and a method of manufacturing the same, includes a thermal relief ring that is used to create a mechanical seal within the vent. The thermal relief ring, at room temperature, is crimped in place by use of the vent cap itself. The crimped thermal relief ring creates a mechanical seal between the vent and the vent cap, up until a predetermined thermal relief point, at which time the thermal relief ring will soften and/or yield and release the vent cap from the vent body.

Abstract: One embodiment of an easel for supporting an artist work piece includes a vertical support member including an interior, a pulley system positioned completely within the interior, the pulley system adapted for moving a horizontal support member on the vertical support member, and a horizontal support member secured to the pulley system and extending into the interior of the vertical support member.

Abstract: One embodiment of a vent plate for a marine vessel includes a plate having a top surface that defines a total surface area and a plurality of apertures arranged in a pattern covering at least one quarter of the total surface area, the pattern including a plurality of rows of apertures off-set by an angle of approximately forty five degrees.

Abstract: One method of forming a food product comprises placing a puffed grain in a blending container, placing a fluidized nutrient in the blending container, blending the puffed grain and the fluidized nutrient to form a puffed product, and dehydrating the puffed product to form a de-puffed food product.
