Abstract: Consumer wagons are provided for carrying seated children and/or household cargo. In some embodiments, the wagons have a footwell for children carried in the wagon to place/rest their feet, and the footwell is repositionable between use position lowered relative to the wagon base and a collapsed/storage position closer to the wagon base. And in some embodiments, the wagons have a pull-handle that can be moved between different positions and that is lockable in multiple of the different positions.

Abstract: Bags or carriers are provided that can be transformed into protective vests and used as body armor and ballistic shields. The carriers can be assembled in a first arrangement that enables individuals to store and transport items. The carriers can quickly and easily be converted to or deployed in a second arrangement which enables the individuals to wear the carriers as protective vests. One or more shoulder straps can be detached from the carriers for use as tourniquets, doorway securing structures, and tools for dragging injured victims.

Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods of use pertaining to the storage, organization, and transport of portable items typically carried within a bag, backpack, suitcase or other luggage item, or that are typically transported by an individual person. The system includes a number of storage and structure containers, each designed to enclose one or more portable items. The storage and structure containers may be loaded upon a loadable baseplate along with individual portable items and functionality components and, in turn, either inserted into an existing bag for transport or attached to a wearable frame having a shoulder harness and a wearable baseplate to function as a standalone system. The loadable baseplate may include many additional features, including light and/or sound-emitting components, location-tracking components, and/or other powered or passive functionality. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: A case for a computing device includes a rear support surface that is operatively coupled to a perimetral edge that securely engages with a perimetral edge of the computing device. A support stand may be in communication with the rear support surface, wherein the stand is operable to move between one or more elevations. The rear support surface and the perimetral edge may substantially or entirely shield a rear surface of the computing device. The support stand may include a stand mechanism with support and pivot portions, the support portion operable to communicate with a corresponding mounting surface and the pivot portion operable to pivot the support stand between a closed state and one or more elevations.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are provided for making the harvesting of sea life efficient. For example, real-time or periodic information about the status of the many traps a fisherman may have set is communicated to the fisherman while the traps are still in the water. A fisherman can use this information to determine the best time and path for trap retrieval and reset operations to reduce fuel use and improve the catch efficiency per unit effort.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computing device program products for incrementally calculating simple linear regression coefficients for Big Data or streamed data. Embodiments of the invention include incrementally calculating one or more components of simple linear regression coefficients for a modified computation set based on one or more components of simple linear regression coefficients calculated for a previous computation set and then calculating the simple linear regression coefficients for the modified computation set based on the incrementally calculated components. Incrementally calculating simple linear regression coefficients avoids visiting all data elements in the modified computation set and performing redundant computations thereby increasing calculation efficiency, saving computing resources and reducing computing system's power consumption.

Abstract: A system for protecting an electronic device and securely and conveniently carrying tangible portable contents therewith. The system may include a resilient portion dimensioned to detachably receive the electronic device by a continuous perimetral edge. The electronic device may be secured thereto by an inwardly extending, retaining lip of the perimetral edge. A rigid portion may be detachably connected to a rear surface of the resilient portion opposite the electronic device. The rigid portion may be dimensioned to shield at least part of the rear surface of the rigid portion. A cavity may be defined between the rigid portion and the rear surface of the resilient portion when the rigid portion is in a closed position. The cavity is operable to secure the tangible contents in the closed position and receive the tangible contents in an opened position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable table assembly having a table top, a hollow cylindrical stem that receives the table top, and a removable securing end cap that secures the table top to the cylindrical stem. The portable table assembly is easily assembled and adaptable for a wide variety of uses including, but not limited to, patio/porch use, outdoor/lawn gaming, parks and general recreation, outdoor sporting and concert events, tailgate parties, camping, gardening, beach use (with or without a beach umbrella), and boating.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a hammock strap. The hammock strap includes an elongated length of strap material that is separated into a first strap and a second strap. The first strap and the second strap are woven together at one or more separation points to form eyelets between the first strap and the second strap.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a holster with a first holster layer of leather configured as a holster backer for wear adjacent to a user's body, the first holster layer attached to a second holster layer of Kydex, the second holster layer molded to fit over a portion of a handgun, the holster further having a trigger guard retention formed from the material of the second holster layer, the retention having an integral pocket that is capable of interference fit with a handgun.

Abstract: A hanger for hanging multiple garment or sports gear pieces. The hanger includes a horizontal member, a hanging hook for supporting the horizontal member on external structure, such as on a closet bar, and plural spaced-apart vertical members. Each vertical member is engaged to the horizontal member at an upper end, and each vertical member has a fastener at a lower end thereof for engaging a piece. The vertical members can be adjustable in length.

Abstract: A topical proprioceptive tube and method of use for enhancing performance, reducing the risk of knee injury, or both. The tube includes a flexible sleeve having at least: a hamstring buttress, a knee buttress, or both, wherein the hamstring buttress and the knee buttress are configured to be coupled to the interior of the flexible sleeve such that the hamstring buttress applies pressure to at least a portion of one of the subject's hamstring muscles and the knee buttress applies pressure to at least a portion of the subject's Vastus Medialis Obliquus (VMO) when worn by the subject to provide the desired effect.

Abstract: An apparatus including a lifting jack having a beam, and a base having a first section with a first opening configured to receive the beam. The base may further include one or more foundation plates connected to the first section in a manner so that each of the one or more foundation plates can be rotated with respect to the first section. The one or more foundation plates may include a first, second, third, and fourth foundation plates. The first foundation plate and the second foundation plate may be about the same size and shape. The third foundation plate and the fourth foundation plate may be about the same size and shape. The first foundation plate and the third foundation plate may be substantially different in size. Each of the one or more foundation plates may have a bottom surface, from which protrude a plurality of protrusions.
