Abstract: An apparatus for the safe storage and transport of nail technician implements. The invention comprises: a body having a rear panel, left and right sides and a base. A handle formed at the top and connected to the left and right sides. A cavity is defined by said rear panel, base, and said left and front sides, and upper and lower panels hingedly attached to said left and right sides.
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the processing of shellfish waste meal. More particularly, to increasing the crude protein while decreasing calcium and phosphorus levels of shellfish waste meal. The method significantly reduces the percent calcium and phosphorus in shellfish waste meal by introducing a strong acid while lowering the ratio of calcium to phosphorus and raising or maintaining protein levels of the shellfish waste meal at a neutral pH level.
Abstract: The invention relates to an improved pet transport system. More specifically, to pet carriers allowing for extended travel periods on, planes, trains, and or car. The invention has a light source to help quiet the animals during transport.
Abstract: The invention relates to a three-dimensional measuring device, comprising a rotating 360 degree sensor head, a laser scanner and an extendable mast system. The sensor head contains a 360 degree rotating multi-faceted mirror, which determines total path distance from the laser scanner to a particular target. Angular orientations on both the scanner and the faceted mirrors are calculated by a precision encoding system. The measured total path distance, mast system extension, scanner head rotation, mirror rotation angles, and mast deflection are all used to calculate the location of a target point in 3-D space relative to the scanner. The sensing device can be utilized in the construction and nuclear power areas. In the nuclear power area, the mast system can be extended into a contaminated area which the sensor remains outside the contaminated area, thereby avoiding contamination problems.

Abstract: A miniature bowling alley game comprising a lane surface adjusted to such a height where at one end an individual could comfortably roll a miniature bowling ball towards the other end which contains a plurality of lamps backlighting a translucent panel which represents bowling pins. The game features a microcontroller and sensors which detect the speed and angle of the bowling ball as it enters the area of the pins; actual sound of the pins falling; an information panel; and more than 50 spares that can be set up for practice bowling.
