Abstract: Dust free tile removal apparatus comprising a hollow base member, a hollow rake member, a plurality of rake tines, struts, and a handle. The hollow base member includes an opening that is configured to couple to a vacuum source at one end and is in fluid communication with the hollow rake member at another end. The connection of the hollow rake member with the hollow base member forms an obtuse angle. The hollow rake member has a top surface and a first end each having at least two openings. Rake tines extend outward from the first end of the hollow rake member. Struts extend from a bottom surface of the apparatus. The handle spans between the struts.

Abstract: A method for selecting content of interest includes detecting the contact area of a user's finger or a marking element marking a region of a touch-sensitive display, and recording a cumulative area contacted by the user's finger or the marking element during one marking motion. The cumulative area can be the selected content of interest.

Abstract: A content controller system and method may include a user interface device in communication with a user interface device. The user interface device may provide operations including select advertising media content, select positive and negative content placement associations for the advertising media content, and automatically place the advertising media content in response to the positive content placement areas and away from at least one of the negative content placement areas.

Abstract: A debris shield for use in conjunction with a vacuum shroud. The vacuum shroud attachment ring is configured to couple to the vacuum shroud and align its openings with the air intake openings of the vacuum shroud. The interior structure of the invention is such that a hook like structure extends from the opening closest to the vacuum shrouds air intake opening and acts to trap and deflect debris forcing it back into the vacuum shroud. Around the hook like structure there is an air passage configured to provide a continuous airway from the opening nearest where the air intake opening of the vacuum shroud is around to the outer edge of the vacuum shroud attachment ring.

Abstract: A height-adjustable canopy assembly that is capable of creating a desired shaded area without restricting a vehicle occupant's ability to enter, exit, control, and enjoy the vehicle. The canopy assembly includes a frame support that is secured to the vehicle via attachment points disposed between a seat and a rear portion of the vehicle. The frame support couples with a canopy support, which is adapted to span along a longitudinal length of the vehicle. A canopy cover attaches to the canopy support, providing a shaded area on the vehicle. The canopy support is adjustable with respect to the vehicle, in particular via a series of cord and cord locks that allow the occupant to quickly raise and lower the canopy support to change the shaded area to a desired set of dimensions.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a chipping hammer adapter handle generally comprising an elongated shaft and a hammer receiver. The elongated shaft is coupled to the hammer receiver. The hammer receiver comprises a hammer handle housing configured to receive a chipping hammer handle, and at least one secure arm to secure a chipping hammer. The adapter handle further comprises a knee guard and at least one vacuum hose guide. The adapter handle allows a user to remain in a standing position while using a chipping hammer for tile removal. The more ergonomic position may prevent fatigue and health issues for the user.

Abstract: A digital content controller system and interface limits media content from being viewed by using a rated numerical value system. Users will be able to block specific offensive content such as nudity without blocking specific content such as violence. This system will simultaneously work with movies, music and video games.

Abstract: A combination tent includes a tent frame standing upright on the ground. An outer tent fabric is spread out and mounted on the tent frame. The outer tent fabric encloses an arched space having front and rear ends that are open. An outer tent door fabric is disposed on a first side of the outer tent fabric and is openable and closeable. An inner tent is disposed in the arched space and is connected to the first side of the outer tent fabric. An inner tent door fabric is disposed on a side of the inner tent, is aligned with the outer tent door fabric, and is openable and closeable. The arched space includes an open passage defined between another side of the inner tent and a second side of the outer tent fabric. The open passage extends from the front end to the rear end of the arched space.

Users will be able to block specific offensive content such as nudity without blocking specific content such as violence. This media system will simultaneously work with movies, music and video games.

Abstract: The present invention is a western style toilet seat and lid assembly, containing an integral urinal. The most basic embodiment presented herein features a front opening in a modified toilet lid, positioned directly over a rigidly attached urine pan, forming a urine receptacle conveniently located for standing users. Another embodiment features a removable and collapsible “dry” urinal cartridge, and a self-engaging lid braking system that allows users to quickly adjust the urinal position to their height. Other embodiments presented herein incorporate water rinse systems, supplied through concealed plumbing, and operated by manual or automatic pneumatic controls. The comprehensive designs integrate numerous user-friendly features including a self-opening cartridge, funnel spout seals that prevents drips during seated use, debris screening, odor control accommodations, and rotational dampening systems.

Abstract: Implementations of vehicle seating systems may include a movable chair including a metal frame having a seat portion and a back portion. The seat portion may have a first end and a second end and the back portion may have a first bar, a second bar, and a lock bar coupled between the first bar and the second bar. A latch pin may be configured to receive a first end of the lock bar coupled to the first bar of the seat portion when the movable chair is in a fully upright portion. The back portion may be configured to fold down and the seat portion may be configured to rotate upwardly on the seat hinge. The movable chair may be configured to lock into place in a fully upright position when the vehicle is in operation through a latching mechanism, the latch pin, and the lock bar.

Abstract: A vacuum filter backflushing system having an air recapturing adapter coupled to a vacuum motor's air exhaust port which recaptures a portion of exhaust air and introduces the air into a recaptured air passage. The recaptured air passage is coupled to an air flow director which is configured to direct air to an air filter. The air flow director is configured to selectively prevent air from flowing through the filters in a normal air flow direction and allow the air in the recaptured air passage to backflush the filter by dislodging particles from air filter media. The recaptured air passage can terminate after a last air filter, such that the recaptured air passage is pressurized, or the recaptured air passage can recouple back into the air exhaust port or the air recapturing adapter, such that the air is in constant motion in the recaptured air passage.

Abstract: A stove or a stove body has a trigger control that directs toxic fumes to the stovetop during cooking and to a side outdoor venting channel when cooking container is removed from the stovetop to ensure safe release of toxic fumes.
