Abstract: A ventilation system for ventilating a passenger compartment of an aircraft is disclosed herein. The ventilation system includes, but is not limited to, a nozzle that is adapted to be mounted proximate an interior of the aircraft and that is configured to direct a stream of air into the passenger compartment. The ventilation system further includes a valve that is spaced apart from the nozzle and positioned upstream of the nozzle, the valve configured to control a flow of air to the nozzle. The ventilation system still further includes a conduit that fluidly couples the valve to the nozzle. The conduit is configured to convey the flow of air from the valve to the nozzle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of exercise apparatuses that provide exercises which are used for speed and agility training as well as strength training, with an emphasis on plyometric training, comprising a multi-directional, multi-configurable, and adjustable system of ladders.

Abstract: Microfluidic devices are provided for trapping, isolating, and processing single cells. The microfluidic devices include a cell capture chamber having a cell funnel positioned within the cell capture chamber to direct a cell passing through the cell capture chamber towards one or more a cell traps positioned downstream of the funnel to receive a cell flowing. The devices may further include auxiliary chambers integrated with the cell capture chamber for subsequent processing and assaying of the contents of a captured cell. Methods for cell capture and preparation are also provided that include flowing cells through a chamber, funneling the cells towards a cell trap, capturing a predefined number of the cells within the trap, interrupting the flow of cells, flowing a wash solution through the chamber to remove contaminants from the chamber, and sealing the predefined number of cells in the chamber.

Abstract: A receptacle for disposing a cigarette butt, comprising a 5 ply paper body constructed of flame-resistant confetti paper having a floor, wherein the floor has a cigarette butt extinguishing region; an 15 ply insulated pad located at the cigarette butt extinguishing region, wherein the 15 ply insulated pad has a raised surface feature to improve friction and insulation; and four flaps for folding perpendicular to the floor to form a receptacle, wherein the flaps are subsequently folded over the cigarette butt extinguishing region for waste disposal.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method for full body weight exercises, movements, stretches, and training using an adjustable exercise apparatus that is safe and effective. The present invention comprises a method for holistic body weight training such as yoga, martial arts, stretching, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and physical exercise training. The exercise method comprises linking elements comprising elongated connectors, closed connectors, and openable connectors. The method comprises using an adjustable exercise apparatus comprising at least a dual anchor system, enabling a user to safely exercise without impinging the apparatus' linking elements, which are aligned parallel to the user's sagittal plane.

Abstract: An electronic trading system for simulating the trading of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emission reductions and methods of use are provided. An electronic trading application may allow a user to participate in an electronic trading simulation. An electronic trading application may allow a simulation administrator to modify parameters in connection with the electronic trading simulation in real-time. For example, the simulation administrator may be allowed to modify a real-time timeline for the electronic trading simulation, create and release a news announcement, or perform any other suitable modification in connection with the electronic trading simulation.

Abstract: A hat comprising a bucket and a brim, which hat may have adjustable bucket diameter or brim configuration or both. The bucket diameter may be adjusted by a circumferential belt secured to the bucket by loops affixed to the latter. Length of the belt, as adjusted by modifying the length by which the belt overlaps itself, adjusts the diameter of bucket. The belt may have a fastening element such as hook and loop material to maintain the selected length. The configuration of the brim may be adjusted by for example manually bending or forming a metallic wire incorporated into the brim.
