Abstract: A method of providing electronic flight bag for an aviation professional for use on an aircraft by providing a transportable laptop computer and programming the transportable laptop computer with linear and non-linear algorithms and operating programs. Flight plan information is received by the transportable laptop computer, and additional aircraft and flight related data is inputted as well. Additional information is acquired by the transportable laptop computer on an up to the minute basis during flight, and calculations are made en route to adjust the original flight plan. The updated flight plan is outputted to the aviation professional en route.

Abstract: The Electronic Kit Bag (EKB) is a computerized, portable pilot “kit bag” that accepts input data, manipulates said data, and outputs solutions. The EKB consists of standard and state-of-the-art computer parts and peripherals, interfaced for maximum utility. The central operating program of the device assesses the relationships of input data through logic based, three-dimensional decision-making algorithm. Data output is utilized either directly by the user, by the user through an aircraft system, or directly from the EKB to an aircraft system or autopilot.

Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, an apparatus for continuous collection of human waste products is disclosed. The apparatus may include a bed frame, a lower plate having a container coupled thereto, an upper plate having an aperture defined therein, a mattress having an aperture defined therein, a mattress cover having an aperture defined therein and an absorbent pad having a bag coupled thereto. The apparatus may allow for continuous collection of human waste products while maintaining the patient in a comfortable position. The apparatus may further facilitate preventing human waste products from contacting the skin of the patient, thereby substantially reducing the occurrence of pressure ulcers. Additionally, the apparatus may reduce the need for the use of Foley catheters for incontinence management, thereby reducing the occurrence of urinary tract infections related to such use.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the production of acidic solutions of activated silica for water treatment. Activated silica is formed during the process of acidifying a sodium silicate solution to below pH 2 with sulfuric acid.

Abstract: According to at least one exemplary embodiment, a mat for facilitating infant development is disclosed. The mat may include a base portion, a support member, and at least one gripping member. The mat may include a texture pattern defined on the surfaces thereof. The mat may encourage development of the infant's cognitive abilities, tactile perception, fine motor skills and strengthening of the infant's core muscles.

Abstract: What is provided is a protective environment for paint paraphernalia and wet paint being used in a painting process. Examples of paint paraphernalia includes paint brushes, paint rollers, paint trays, and paint cans. The protective environment in one form is a flexible polyvinyl chloride of at least ½ mil in thickness. The flexible polyvinyl chloride is arranged two provided a three sided connecting edge with the fourth side left unconnected for an opening into the interior portion of the protective environment. The protective environment is placed over the paint paraphernalia and marked with various paint paraphernalia characteristics to aide in the temporary storage and reuse of the paint paraphernalia during a painting job.

Abstract: A method of assembling a firearm is provided. The method includes providing a bolt assembly that includes a bolt carrier that includes a cammed slot and a first passage, a bolt member slidably coupled to the bolt carrier and positioned within the first passage, the bolt member includes at least one aperture and a second passage, a piston member slidably coupled to the bolt member and positioned within the second passage, the piston member includes an elongated slot and a third passage, wherein the elongated slot includes a first length, and a cam pin slidably coupled to at least one of the bolt carrier, the bolt member and the piston member, the cam pin includes a fourth passage; and coupling the bolt assembly within a cavity of the firearm such that the bolt assembly is slidably coupled to an upper receiver of the firearm.

Abstract: Awning of the type that is to be mounted on or in a facade or a wall of a building or on a vehicle, comprising a frame and sunshade means in the form of a screen which, in mounted condition, is movable with respect to the facade or wall. With the frame a spraying installation is integrated for dispersing a spray from the frame. The spraying installation comprises at least one nozzle mounted in the frame for dispersing the spray mainly under the screen. Furthermore, impeller means may be provided for effecting an improved dispersion of the spray.

Abstract: A debris cage is disclosed. The debris cage may include multiple panels, each having a plurality of opening. Each of the panels may be fastened together to form an enclosed structure having a substantially cylindrical portion integral with a conical or dome-like portion at a terminating end of the enclosed structure. Each of the panels may have various shaped openings facilitating the flow of fluid while potentially impeding debris from passing through the debris cage.

Abstract: The support is of the laminar type and has transversely various areas with different resistance, resilience and coefficient of friction, in order to determine, in the impact of a body on the support, a concave shape in the central part of the support, which is to brake the movement during impact by the body, over the upper or lower edges of the support, and which simultaneously has some heat-resistant friction characteristics, whilst retaining characteristics of sliding without adherence between 100° C. and 200° C.

Abstract: An optical device that may include a sighting portion including an optical axis; an electromagnetic beam source coupled to said sighting portion, electromagnetic beam source facilitates generating a source beam including an axis that is substantially parallel to said optical axis; an optical surface coupled to said electromagnetic beam source; and a frequency filter coupled within said sighting portion.

Abstract: A colostomy bag having a cleansing system wherein the bag is cleaned while in its operable position associated with the person. More specifically, the system mounts a manifold within the colostomy bag with an access to water under pressure from outside, the manifold providing a spray dispersion of fluid, or cleansing water, at the top of the bag and gravity then drips it down through the bag and out the open bottom end, with the residue of the bag being washed out by the water and passing into a toilet. The user can thus easily flush the bag to complete cleaning with all residue from the bag passing into the toilet. A water source from the toilet itself, or other suitable water supply, provides the water under pressure to the manifold inside the top of the colostomy bag.
