Abstract: Link for an articulated manipulator, comprising a tubular body extending along a longitudinal axis thereof and having a first joint end and a second joint end, wherein the first joint end and the second joint end define a first joint plane and a second joint plane, respectively. The first joint plane and the second joint are each at an inclination angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, wherein the first joint plane is arranged parallel to a first axis and wherein the second joint plane is arranged parallel to a second axis, the longitudinal axis being perpendicular to the first axis and second axis, and wherein the first axis and second axis are at a mutual twist angle of at least one times the inclination angle.
Abstract: A device for storing and circulating drinking water with vortex flow includes a base, a tank and an actuator housed in the base and configured to circulate the drinking water stored in the tank with vortex flow. The base includes an inlet port through which the drinking water is received and an outlet port through which the drinking water is dispensed. The tank is mounted on the base with a sealed engagement and is configured to store the drinking water. The tank has spherical or egg shape and includes an air inlet on an upper portion of the tank through which air can flow in and out of the tank.
Abstract: A drinking vessel used by a drinker for drinking liquids, with a pass-through chamber to receive and support cigars, with the pass-through chamber being embedded in the drinking vessel, having two openings, and intersecting the drinking vessel's primary wall.
Abstract: A drinking vessel for holding liquids, having a base engaged with a rotation platform, the rotation platform having two parts in rotational engagement and configured to enable the drinking vessel to spin.
Abstract: A filter includes a filter assembly deployed within a pressure vessel. The filter includes a series of filter configurations arranged along a central flow path connected to an outlet. Each filter configuration has filter screens overlying at least one filtrate channel which directs filtered fluid to the central flow path, A partition is deployed within the pressure vessel so as to subdivide the pressure vessel into a first filter chamber and a second filter chamber, each containing a number of the filter assemblies. A flow diverter is deployed in the central flow path for diverting a flow of filtered liquid passing along the central flow path from the first filter chamber so as to flow outwards from the central flow path to undergo a second filtering in the second filter chamber. Also disclosed is an outlet flow throttling arrangement to avoid overload of a backwash cleaning system.

Abstract: A mounting system (1) for artwork is disclosed, comprising a blank (3) of planar material, comprising a rectangular main section (7) for carrying artwork, which has first and second integral tabs (9) extending from respective opposite sides of the main section and which are foldable into a three dimensional box-like shape behind the main section to provide first and second perimeter members. The system also comprises third and fourth integral foldable tabs (11) extending from the remaining sides of the main section and which project outwards by a lesser extent than the first and second tabs. The system also comprises a plurality of separate extender tabs (5) for attachment to the third and fourth foldable tabs to permit said tabs to be folded in a likewise manner to form third and fourth perimeter members behind the main section.
