Abstract: A retainer for coupling rotating shafts includes a body and a finger. The body may have a curved section extending in a circumferential direction about an axis and a pair of ends. The finger extends from the body and has a least a portion that extends inwardly toward the axis. The finger may be flexible and resilient and have an at rest state and a second state wherein the finger flexes outwardly away from the axis when acted upon by a sufficient force, and the finger returns toward its at rest state when the force is reduced or removed from the finger. When a second shaft is partially inserted into a first shaft, an object may engage and flex the finger until the object passes by the finger whereupon the finger may return toward the at rest state partially overlapping the object.

Abstract: A tolerance ring comprising a metallic band for spring features and a complementary low friction material for frictional considerations is disclosed. The tolerance ring is designed to operate within a precisely controlled torque or axial force band to provide a defined amount of resistance and sliding force control between components that move relative to each other. Isolated portions of the tolerance ring form regions of contact with adjacent ones of the components. Other surfaces of the tolerance ring comprise portions with spring features that have geometry suitable for their spring rate, rather than conforming to mating surfaces of the adjacent components.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for obtaining metrics associated with a user's athleticism are disclosed. The user performs a workout using the apparatus, and the workout is scored based on a scoring system. The scoring system may be objective, thereby facilitating score standardization, and individual users for which scores have been recorded may be ranked by the system. Individual users may associate their system profiles with one or more positions for one or more sports. The rankings may be filtered by position and sport to facilitate identification of one or more users of interest, such as for a college recruiting purposes or professional sports team drafts.

Abstract: A Suspension Bearing Lubricating System, lubricating moving parts engaging with pivoting suspension component bearings used in street motorcycles, dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles and various other machines. The Suspension Bearing Lubricating System comprises of a bolt hollowed internally and capped with a grease fitting (or form of lubrication receptacle) or a bolt which is hollow at both ends but solid in the center and a specialized bushing allowing for the flow of grease. Lubricant will be inserted via a lubricant receptacle; lubricant will travel into the bolt then out of holes in the shaft of the bolt which will allow passage of lubricant into bushing if applicable. Once lubricant reaches specialized bushing it will travel into integrated grooves to holes in the bushing then out, directly in contact with the suspension component bearings.

Abstract: A virtual 3D modeling of a custom posterior concha module from a digital ear impression. This modeling is done with 3D inserts that fill the posterior concha area and are merged into a concha ring, concha plate, or another custom solid or hollow 3D object. The 3D object is integrated with the custom concha and custom canal modules. The resulting 3D mold is the virtual custom hearing aid shell or earmold. This method is suitable for modeling Full-Shell custom hearing aids, and Full-Shell, Shell, Skeleton, and Semi-skeleton earmolds. It is also applicable to modeling a Canal-lock and Helix-lock.

Abstract: A virtual 3D modeling of a custom shell module for a hearing aid from a digital impression. In this process, a pre-modelled faceplate module is selected from a computer database. The style and size of the selected pre-modelled faceplate module is proper for the shell style and options requested. Through motion and rotation, the selected pre-modelled faceplate module is fitted collision-free in the digital impression and its fit is customized with a buffer. The resulting customized faceplate module is integrated with the canal aperture of the digital impression and becomes the virtual custom concha module. This method is suitable for modeling shell styles such as Half-Shell, Canal, Completely-In-Canal, Invisible-In-Canal.

The Child Bed Fall Blocking System that can be installed easily, consists of 4 base plates connected with 3 wires and 2 separate reinforcing wires along the headboard side of the bed, a set of 2 tabs attached to each base plate, 6 vertical height-adjustable telescopic pole sets attached to the base plates, 3 sets of length-adjustable tube sets connecting the inner telescopic poles with hinges, 6 lock systems, and 3 adjustable fabric panels, each secured by a flat bar on the bottom of the panel.

Abstract: An integrated system of straps that is used for exercise and activity. The straps are gathered at a waist band that is sewn into a garment, and the straps wrap around the waist and the buttocks of a person. The straps are attached to the garment by sewing, and the straps exit the garment through pockets, that can be used to stow the straps when not in use. The system offers a comfortable tethering system, while wearing a fashionable, athletic outfit. The system is used for centralized, balanced pulling or towing from the front center or back center of the person's midsection. The system is applicable to any sports activity that is appropriate for tethering to a moving animal or object, and also, for pulling an object such as a sled.

Abstract: A system and method for shipping an item is presented that reduces the number of steps involved in the physical process and protects shipper and recipient privacy. The shipper is not required to label a package with the shipper's name or address, the recipient's name or address, or proof of payment. Instead the shipper scans a barcode on the package that encodes a package identifier, and causes a recipient identifier and payment information to be associated with the package identifier in a database. The recipient then causes his or her address to be associated with the recipient identifier.

Abstract: A color steel tile fixture includes a limit part having a limit groove; a clamping assembly including two opposite clamping parts which are each equipped with, from top to bottom in sequence, a clamping head, a bump defining a slope, and a clamping splice; a connecting block provided with a threaded hole and two opposite arc grooves on either side of the threaded hole, the clamping head of each clamping part being rotatably engaged in a respective arc groove of the two opposite arc grooves; a threaded part which is screwed into the threaded hole; and a connecting part. When the threaded part is screwed, the connecting block moves upward along the threaded part causing side panels of the limit groove to engage the slopes of the bumps, so that the clamping parts are biased inwardly such that the clamping splices are configured to clamp a color steel tile.

Abstract: This device is composed of two pins. Each pin is made of plastic and a piece of magnetic that has opposite magnetic polarity facing each other. The pin can be used as a single unit where it can hold stationery such as papers, envelopes or small pamphlet to a ferromagnetic surface such as metal office cabinet, metal chalk board, refrigerator door or anywhere ferromagnetic surface exist. When used as one single unit the paper or stationery have some degree of rotational freedom and will self-center itself with the heaviest side down. It can also be attached to a center of a personal business card or credit card and be spun like a top vertically, horizontally or upside down on a ferromagnetic surface. However, when used as two individual pin to attach the stationery to a ferromagnetic surface such as metal office cabinet, metal chalk board, refrigerator door or anywhere ferromagnetic surface exist the stationeries will have no degree of rotational freedom and it will be fixed into position.
