Abstract: A light-weight, egg shaped charcoal grill is presented. The charcoal grill features a grill assembly and a cart. The grill assembly comprises a double walled lid, main body and ash pan, wherein the lid is hingedly connected to the main body and the ash pan is detachable from the main body. The grill assembly features adjustable upper and lower air vents located in the lid and ash pan, respectively, as well as a temperature sensor in the lid. The grill assembly further includes shelves which are rotatable about the perimeter of the grill assembly and which may also be moved from a working position parallel to a ground surface to a folded position perpendicular to the ground surface, for storage.

Abstract: The disclosure includes an insulated container for beverages and the like. The container includes a double-walled vacuum vessel with a handle and an offset dispensing opening at the top of the vessel. The opening is sealable with a cap. A tether can be provided to secure the cap to the handle.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for rewarding medical care provider behavior, comprises computer instructions for assigning one or more value units according to predictive value of tasks performed by a medical care provider, presenting a screen to the medical care by which the medical care provider may record tasks that are performed, rewarding the one or more value units for each task that is performed, recording the rewarded one or more value units, and determining compensation for the medical care provider based on the number of value units that are rewarded.

Abstract: Provided is a landscape edging system comprising runs having a profile comprising a base, front edge and, in some embodiments, a leading edge, as well as a first specialized region, and optionally one or two additional specialized regions which can permit easy mowing up to the forward most edge of the edging, and can prevent lawn mower blade damage to the edging. In a preferred embodiment, the runs are comprised of shredded rubber.

Abstract: A beverage dispensing flow control device according to one example includes a body portion, an actuation lever and a sealing gasket. A sealing gasket is securable over the bottom surface of the body and has a bottom surface with a beverage flow aperture and a vent aperture. The apertures are configured to define a maximum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the body portion such that the beverage flow aperture does not block the flow aperture of the body portion, and a minimum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the body portion such that the beverage flow aperture blocks at least the majority of the body's flow aperture while leaving at least a portion of the vent channel unblocked. A plunger is in operable communication with the actuation lever to selectively seal the bottom surface of the gasket.

Abstract: A wound treatment apparatus that ventilates a wound dressing with warm humidified oxygen and/or air at a very low flow rate while under a sub-atmospheric pressure. A controlled flow of filtered air and/or oxygen is selected or blended under atmospheric pressure. This gas is pulled by a downstream vacuum source through a flow limiting device and exits at a sub-atmospheric pressure equal to the vacuum source. The gas flow is then humidified and heated to prescribed conditions before entering a substantially airtight negative pressure type wound dressing which is adapted for ventilation with an added inlet connection. This conditioned gas ventilates and nourishes the wound environment exiting the dressing outlet, through a fluid trap, to the vacuum source.

Abstract: A folding portable bar with interchangeable canopies is provided, the bar comprises: at least one umbrella comprising at least one post and a plurality of canopies, each of the canopies comprises a design and at least a portion of each of the canopies is constructed of a material that allows light to pass through the canopy and project image of the design.
