Abstract: A garment and brassiere accessory that is substantially triangular in shape having attachment straps (8) extending outward from upper corners (6) of the undergarment that may be looped around shoulder straps (14) of a brassiere (13). In addition, a lower corner (7) may be looped around a center portion (16) of the brassiere. An upper band (11) of preferably elastomeric material located along an upper edge (4) of the undergarment keeps the undergarment securely against a woman's chest while being worn. The undergarment is preferably constructed from two layers of material, an outer layer (17) and an inner layer (18) so that the outer layer hides any wrinkles or indentations (19) caused by the stress of the lower corner pulling on the inner layer while the undergarment is being worn. Additional features include extension straps (20) that allow a user to adapt the undergarment to a larger chest and/or brassiere size or to wear the undergarment without a brassiere and detachable jewelry.

Abstract: A coil on tube heat exchanger is provided that uses multiple parallel helical coil tubes to limit liquid pressure losses while providing similar performance and production times to previous coil and tube designs. Two or more coil tubes are wrapped together around a center tube in a helical fashion, permitting the heat exchanger to be used in a counter-flow, or contra-flow, implementation. Use of the heat exchanger includes flowing a first liquid, such as waste water, through the center tube and flowing a second liquid through the plurality of channels. Embodiments of the present invention provide reduced pressure loss, higher performance and are generally faster to manufacture than prior heat exchangers.

Abstract: A clothes dryer air intake system including a conduit having an outlet opening for connection to a clothes dryer and being positioned remote from the attic of a building. The conduit also has an inlet opening positioned within the attic of a building. A heater is connected to the conduit between the outlet opening and the inlet opening for warming air passing through the conduit. A thermostat detects the temperature of the air flowing through the conduit and energizes the heater in the event that the detected temperature is lower than a preset minimum.

Abstract: A system for addressing electrical signals is disclosed, comprising an electromagnetically conductive control element, at least one control signal, at least one electromagnetic pulse modulator associated with the control element, and a threshold element positioned proximate to the control element, having an electromagnetic resistance that is conditional and changes as a result of fluctuations in the electromagnetic field of the control element.

Abstract: Apparatus, method and system for delivering sterile unit dose of ozone. System includes sterile vial containing oxygen and corona discharge assembly. Sterile vial is engaged to ozone conversion unit having high voltage transformer, ozone measurement mechanism, data input mechanism, and displayed read-out. When power is supplied to sterile vial containing corona discharge assembly, oxygen is converted to specified concentration of ozone. Sterile vial is disengaged from ozone conversion unit, drawing port is attached, and needle or similar extraction tool is used to withdrawal ozone for treatment.

Abstract: A filter element may be provided. The filter element may include a fitting; and a filtering member coupled to the fitting, the filtering member may include a plurality of flutes defined in an outer surface of the filtering member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an internal nose-dilating device, comprising two conical inserts, which each have four walls and two openings: a small opening, which during use is oriented inwards towards the nasal cavity, and a large opening, which is oriented out from the nose, the inserts being connected by means of a connecting member, which during use is the only part that remains on the outside of the nose. The four walls of the inserts are convex at their central portions and provided with a substantially horizontal recess, the recess being arranged along the four walls of the inserts and extending at least partly along the circumference on the outside thereof to form a bulge in the four walls of the inserts. The inserts have at least four apertures and a reinforced portion, which is provided along a rounded edge of the small opening, thereby allowing the inserts to be turned inside out.

Abstract: A firearm mount including a base that supports a movable cradle within which is positioned a firearm. Remotely controlled motors turn the cradle about horizontal and vertical axes. Remote operation of the motors is enhanced by a video camera secured to the firearm and connected to a transmitter that broadcasts an electronic video signal to the user stationed away from the mount. The trigger of the firearm in the cradle is moved to fire by a remotely controlled solenoid.

Abstract: Provided is a battery case cover which can be produced through a single process, by integrally forming the structural components of a battery case cover such as a recovering part, a cell partition part and a gas inlet part on the bottom surface, while forming the recovering part in the shape of a pipe and applying a vent cap mode to the gas inlet part.

Abstract: A sliding blind system (10) for covering a sliding first panel (12) located adjacent to a fixed second panel (14), the system comprising: at least one blind support bracket (11) mounted to an upper, generally horizontal edge of the first panel (12); a first blind (16) secured to the blind support bracket (11); a vertically extending first guide member (20) securable to a generally vertical first side edge of the first panel (12), and a second vertically extending guide member (22) securable to an opposing generally vertical second edge of the first panel (12), wherein the first blind is located generally between the first and second guide members; and a header panel (24) mountable to a fixed structure above the second panel (14); and a second blind (18) secured to the header panel (24), wherein the second blind (18) is mounted in front of the first blind (16) such that when the first panel (12) slides in front of the second panel (14), the first blind (16) slides behind the second blind (18).

Abstract: A connector system with a connector and a complementary connector, wherein the connector includes a housing element with a locking device and an electrical contact element, wherein the electrical contact element is arranged in the area of a front end of the housing element, and includes a closing element arranged on the housing element, which closing element surrounds both at least the rear end of the housing element and an area of the electrical cable arranged outside the housing element, and is closely connected with the housing element and the electrical cable such that at the rear end, the interior of the housing element is sealed from the surrounding in a substantially fully moisture-tight manner. The closing element may, optionally, be applied in a substantially liquid form.
