  • Patent number: 9107737
    Abstract: An adjustable goggle with eyepieces that are individually custom fitted over the user's eye sockets. The goggle includes a strap configured to extend around the user's head, two face conforming eyepieces affixed and configured on the strap so that they may be positioned over the user's eyes, and a three axis, adjustable nosepiece that extends between the two eyepieces. The nosepiece is made of one or more elastic strands that have the same or different resilient properties. The ends of the strands are affixed to the eyepieces to apply a resilient force thereon. During use, the user selects the desired nosepiece so that the eyepieces may be independently aligned themselves over the eye sockets and form a comfortable, watertight seal against the surrounding facial tissues when the goggles are worn. If needed, an optional sealing pad may be affixed to the inside surface of each eyepiece to provide a watertight seal against the surrounding facial tissues.

  • Publication number: 20150119740
    Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a device for whole-body plethysmography (WBP) of a mouse for the continuous characterization of sleep and breathing. The inherent limitations of standard WBP are addressed to enable the continuous recording of validated measures of tidal volume, tidal airflow, and respiratory effort surrogate in an unrestrained, unanesthetized mouse. The addition of standard EEG and EMG recording technology allows for respiratory patterns to be fully characterized during sleep and wakefulness. The present invention also allows for the demonstration of the development of dynamic upper airway obstruction [inspiratory flow limitation (IFL)] during sleep in a susceptible, obese murine strain.

  • Publication number: 20140217672
    Abstract: A card game in which players attempt to build the highest ranking two pairs of playing cards built in various rounds. Initially, one face down community card is dealt on the table, four face up public cards and one face down private card dealt to each player. Each player inspects his or her public cards to determine if there are two pairs of cards. The player with two pairs and having the highest ranking value may place a wager. If no player has two pairs, then one additional public card is dealt to each player until at least one player has two pairs of cards. Next, the community card is revealed to all players that may be combined with a player's public cards to make a second set of two pairs of cards. The player with the highest pair of cards in the second set may place a wager. Next, each remaining player may examine the private card and combine it with the community and public cards to make a third set of two pairs of cards.
