Abstract: According to principles of the present inventive concepts, a keyboard plug-in for a MMS application permits a user to search a database of lyrical segments to include within a messaging conversation as a message to a recipient. A search bar permits the user to enter a search query. A display area displays search results received from the database containing lyrical segments with lyrical content related to the user-supplied search query. Upon selection of a desired search result, the lyrical segment is copied and pasted into a messaging box of the user's MMS application and is transmitted to a recipient when the user sends the message. Upon receipt of the message containing the lyrical segment, the recipient plays the lyrical segment on their messaging device by clicking the message.
Abstract: A catheter 100 is comprised of a shaft 120 having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end being the end an end of the catheter 100 to be placed within the bladder 105, the proximal end being the end of the catheter 100 to be coupled to the inputs outside of the body, the shaft 120 having at least three discrete lumens, the at least three lumens including an inflation lumen 124, the inflation lumen 124 in fluid communication with an inflation side hole 130 in the shaft 120. The shaft has a drug delivery lumen 122, the drug delivery lumen 122 in fluid communication with a drug fluid side hole 128 in the shaft 120.
Abstract: A trailer for towing vehicles and related methods is presented. The disclosed trailer can be configured for towing certain three-wheeled vehicles and include a ramp, a front wheel retaining member, and rear wheel plates. The trailer may be configured to receive a three-wheeled vehicle, and upon receipt of the front wheel at the front wheel retaining member and the rear wheels at the rear wheel plates, transition from a first position with the ramp in a lowered configuration to a second position with the ramp in a raised and locked configuration, wherein the weight of the vehicle being towed may be used to both raise the ramp and maintain the ramp in a secured, raised configuration.
Abstract: An article having (a) one or more stacks of a plurality of electrode plates include: (i) one or more bipolar plates having a substrate having an anode on one surface and a cathode on an opposing surface; (ii) a separator and a liquid electrolyte located between each of the electrode plates; (b) a first end plate having a first end plate internal reinforcement structure, attached at an end of the one or more stacks; (c) a second end plate having a second end plate internal reinforcement structure, attached at an opposing end of the one or more stacks as the first end plate; wherein the first end plate and the second end plate reinforce the plurality of electrode plates during a charge cycle, a discharge cycle, or both the charge cycle and the discharge cycle.
Abstract: A powder dispensing apparatus for dispensing a powder either with or without a liquid is presented. The apparatus includes a base, dispenser, and tower. The base is adapted for receiving a container. The dispenser includes a rotatable or slidable carriage. The carriage includes at least one compartment horizontally disposed above an optional funnel. The carriage is rotatable about a central axis or translatable parallel to and below the hopper. A hopper is disposed above the carriage and communicates with less than all compartments. Each compartment is capable of separately dispensing a powder from the hopper into the funnel and thereafter into the container resting on the base. The tower is disposed between and attached at opposing ends to the base and the dispenser. The apparatus is useful, for example, in preparing baby formula and other food for infants, as well as in preparing food and drink for children and adults.
Abstract: A home structure can have an integrated nautical garage and boat slip. The boat slip can be defined entirely under the home such that the boat can be located entirely under the home within the residential setback envelope for the home. The nautical garage can include a lift mechanism for lifting the boat out of the water. The lift mechanism can have a no profile deck that aligns substantially flush with the floor of the nautical garage when the boat is fully raised. The nautical garage can have a roll down shutter and/or door that can be closed to close off an opening of the nautical garage (e.g., once the boat has been navigated into the nautical garage). The boat slip can optionally be defined by a U-shaped culvert.

Abstract: A sawhorse includes a first side body and a second side body. Each of the first side body and the second side body has a first cross member, a second cross member, a first leg portion with a foot, and a second leg portion with a foot. The first cross member of the first side body is rotatably coupled to the first cross member of the second side body. The first side body and the second side body are positionable between a closed position and an opened position. The sawhorse further includes a centrally hinged, folding platform that is rotatably coupled to the second cross member of each of the first side body and the second side body. Where in the open position, the folding platform is fully deployed to create a substantially planar surface spanning the second cross members of the first side body and the second side body.
Abstract: Comminution process of wood chips to produce wood particles, by feeding wood chips in a direction of travel substantially normal to grain through a counter rotating pair of intermeshing arrays of cutting discs arrayed axially perpendicular to the direction of wood chip travel, wherein the cutting discs have a uniform thickness (Td), to produce wood particles characterized by a length dimension (L) substantially equal to the Td and aligned substantially parallel to grain, a width dimension (W) normal to L and aligned cross grain, and a height dimension (H) aligned normal to W and L, wherein the W×H dimensions define a pair of substantially parallel end surfaces with crosscut fibers.
Abstract: A tool holder comprises a first pair of opposing sides and a second pair of opposing sides. The second pair of opposing sides is disposed intermediate the first pair of opposing sides. The tool holder includes an at least one pocket attached to at least one of the sides. A first pair of straps connect a top edge of each of the first pair of opposing sides. The tool holder is configurable between an expanded position and a collapsed position.
Abstract: Mattress assemblies include a mattress core assembly and a nested, zipperless mattress ticking assembly for covering the mattress core assembly and a nested, zipperless mattress ticking assembly for covering the mattress core assembly. The nested, zipperless mattress ticking assembly includes an upper mattress ticking assembly having a top side extending over a top side of the mattress core assembly and a peripheral portion extending over a portion of the peripherally-extending side of the mattress core assembly, and a lower mattress ticking assembly having a bottom side extending over the bottom side of the mattress core assembly and a peripheral portion extending over a portion of the peripherally-extending side of the mattress core assembly. The peripheral portions of the upper and lower mattress ticking assemblies overlap each other along the peripherally-extending side of the mattress core assembly. The mattress assembly meets the flammability standards of the 16 CFR 1633.
