  • Rotating wheel system
    Patent number: 10803699
    Abstract: A rotating wheel system includes face segments separated by posts positioned around a perimeter and a flexible pointer that interacts with the pegs as the wheel rotates. The system controls rotation of the wheel, randomly selects a segment at which to stop prior to the wheel being rotated based on a randomly selected friction deceleration and a randomly selected damping time constant, and controls rotation of the wheel to make it appear as though the wheel randomly stopped at the preselected segment. The system includes one or more player stations that are notified of the selected segment after the wheel is stopped. The system includes a second bonus wheel that is triggered when the selected segment is a trigger segment. The bonus wheel can be a physical wheel that is part of the wheel, a display that is part of the wheel, or displayed on a player station.

  • Adjustable capo with dual pivot mechanism
    Patent number: 10803839
    Abstract: An adjustable capo for a stringed musical instrument includes a front jaw with a top arm and a rear jaw with a bottom arm. The rear jaw is pivotally attached to the front jaw about a first axis with the top arm biased rotationally in a direction toward the bottom arm about the first axis. The bottom arm is attached to a rear handle in a pivotal relationship about a second axis that is independent from the first axis. An adjuster is configured to adjust the pressure applied by the top arm on the strings of a musical instrument when the instrument neck is clamped between the top arm and bottom arm.

  • Intravascular devices, systems, and methods to address eye disorders
    Patent number: 10799688
    Abstract: A method may include accessing an artery in communication with an ophthalmic artery of a subject, and advancing a microcatheter along the accessed artery so as to align a distal end of the microcatheter with an ostium of the ophthalmic artery, wherein the microcatheter includes a lumen having a guidewire positioned therein. In addition, the method includes proximally withdrawing the guidewire relative to the microcatheter so as to enable a distal portion of the microcatheter to assume a curved relaxed configuration, and cannulating the ostium with the distal portion of the microcatheter when the distal portion is in the curved relaxed configuration.

  • Method of making a translucent colored zirconia dental restoration
    Patent number: 10799328
    Abstract: A method of making a translucent colored zirconia dental restoration comprises obtaining a zirconia green body, forming a dental restoration precursor from the zirconia green body, applying a color liquid to the precursor, and sintering the restoration precursor with regular sintering in air without post HIP processing. The zirconia green body comprises between 7 wt % to 20 wt % of stabilizer based on a total weight percent, and an L* value between 10 and 20 for a sample thickness of 1 to 1.3 mm. The zirconia green body is subsequently finally sinterable with regular sintering in air without post HIP processing to produce a translucent zirconia sintered body having a total light transmittance of at least 36% and less than 50% to light with a wavelength of 400 nm, and less than 55% to light with a wavelength of 600 nm, at a thickness of 0.6 mm.

  • Household appliance foot and household appliance
    Patent number: 10801578
    Abstract: A household appliance foot comprises a hydraulic plate; a sheath, which is fixedly connected with the hydraulic plate; a regulating foot, which is arranged in the sheath and is axially movable relative to the sheath; an accommodation chamber, which is formed by the hydraulic plate, the sheath and the regulating foot; and a hydraulic medium, which is arranged in the accommodation chamber and is compressed or expands with pressure changes to drive the regulating foot to axially move in the sheath for leveling. Based on the hydraulic principle, the regulating foot can perform adaptive regulation automatically because of the fluidity of the hydraulic medium due to different pressures resulting from unflatness, the hydraulic medium stops circulating until the household appliance foot achieves balance, and automatic leveling is achieved.
