Abstract: A protective enclosure for a small hand or body carryable personal electronic devices such as a well-known IPOD or IPHONE. A two-part generally rectangular housing includes front and back covers formed of high-impact thin-wall molded material and sized to protectively fit together along mating edges around the electronic device. Access openings are preferably provided for the viewing screen, control wheel, touch screen, battery charger, car phone plug-in, and docking port of the electronic device. A device clip formed of thin metal material having laterally extending retaining arms biasingly engage around opposing edges of front and back covers to hold them together against the front and back of the device. A belt clip may be connected to one end of the device clip adapted for releasable attachment to a clothing article.

Abstract: A portable pneumatic orthopedic body support device for selectively supporting body and torso areas of a user being seated atop a chair or seat. The device includes individual inflatable independent body and torso supports or chambers for legs, lumbar, shoulder blade and neck areas. These supports are independently inflatable and loosely connected together in spaced relationship preferably held thusly by a flexible air conduit assembly or harness. The device, wheel fully deflated includes a waist strap and flexible panels to enclose the supports and air pump/selector valve carryable around the waist as a fanny pack. A combination air pump and selector valve is also provided for selective delivery of compressed air through the conduit assembly to each of the inflatable supports separately and independently for maximum comfort, shape and size.

Abstract: A tablet computer housing assembly and housing construction method. A molded front housing has a planar perimeter margin and a front opening for viewing a LCD screen which is sealingly mounted within the housing assembly. A front sealing bracket having an open central portion is rigidly connected along an outer margin thereof to, and forms a seal with, the perimeter margin of the front housing. A molded rear housing having a planar perimeter margin and a rear sealing bracket and having an open central portion is rigidly connected to, and forms a seal with the perimeter margin of the rear housing. A flat compressible main sealing gasket having an open central portion is positioned between the front and rear sealing brackets to form a sealed connection therebetween whereby a sealed interior volume is established within the mating housings.

Abstract: A multicylinder internal combustion engine has an intake manifold with one or more auxiliary fluid distribution networks for directing byproduct fluids to each cylinder to insure balanced flow. The byproduct fluids include crankcase vapors and fuel vapors from an adsorption canister, and recirculated exhaust gas. The crankcase and purge vapors are mixed in a common network of flow passages formed by grooves formed into the face of an intake manifold mounting flange, with the exhaust gas in a separate sealed network of grooves. Assist air flow to the injector ports is directed through yet another network of grooves in the flange face.

Abstract: A rigid connector tube telescopically engages the fuel rail and the inlet of a top-feed fuel injector. Various embodiments of such connector tubes are disclosed. Such connector tubes enable a top-feed fuel injector to be used in an integrated air-fuel system where a fuel rail is integrally formed with a manifold such that the fuel supply ports of the fuel rail are in fixed spatial relation to the fuel injection ports of the manifold.

Abstract: A portable case and desk fitted with brackets for mounting to a wall. The case is fitted with a flat top panel that is hinged for access to the case interior and serves as a desk top, with one or more trays slidably mounted to extend from one or both sides of the case. A spring clip is fitted to the top panel and a carrying handle is fitted to one side of the device.
