Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that involve a plastic housing having a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion is configured to house a magnet that is adapted for placement above an electromagnetic assembly for levitation. The upper portion extends at least partially above the lower portion and further includes a slot. An elastomeric structure is disposed along an interior perimeter of the slot and includes a first plurality of ribs and a second plurality of ribs. Each rib includes a flexible portion and a retention portion. The flexible portion of the first plurality of ribs and the flexible portion of the second plurality of ribs receive an encasement and align the encasement in the slot. The retention portion of the first plurality of ribs and the retention portion of the second plurality of ribs secure the encasement within the slot.

Abstract: A multiple radio and/or multi antenna chassis is described in some embodiments, along with methods of operation, and non-transitory computer readable media storing machine interpretable instructions to be executed on a processor to perform the methods of operation. Variants are described having regard to the use of one or more of the antennas for establishing bonded connections whereby one or more subsets of the antennas are coordinated to operate in concert to operate one or more connections for data packet transmission while reducing energy loss issues as between operating antennas. The approaches described herein can operate, for example, with a plurality of wideband antennas to provide a multi modem communications device that can be coupled to a master/primary data communications device.

Abstract: A resistance training glove device having a glove casing for attachment to an individual's hand. The glove casing includes a first member and a second member. The first and second members are attachably connected to one another to collectively form the glove casing. The first member has a body element which includes an enclosed tank for receiving and storing fluid. The second member includes a handle bar element, a cuff element and a reception cavity. The reception cavity receives the individual's hand when the glove casing is attached to the individual's hand. The stored fluid in the glove casing provides a weighted resistance to the individual during movement of the attached glove casing.

Abstract: A protective loupes eyewear assembly having an eyewear frame with magnifying loupes. The eyewear frame has notches in the top of the frame and a bottom shelf structure on the inside of the frame. An insert assembly with a pair of outwardly extending tabs and a mating configuration is constructed to slip into the notches at the top of the eyewear frame and into a bottom shelf structure behind the eyewear frame to provide laser protection for use in the dental, surgical and other arts.

Abstract: An adjustable clip-in lens insert assembly for wrap around style frames used in industrial, construction, recreational activities and in the medical arts. The clip-in prescription lens insert assembly has a curved frame structure with a brow bar structure and clip or hook members to fix the prescription lens insert into wrap around style frames. The brow bar and clip member structures are formed of a polymeric material such as nylon or the like to provide a tensioned fit of the clip-in lens insert assembly into the wrap around style frames.

Abstract: A headrest assembly may include a headrest having a first external surface and a second external surface and a hook slidingly engaged within the headrest. The hook may include a first hook portion and a second hook portion. When the hook is in a first position, the first hook portion is substantially flush with the first external surface and the second hook portion is substantially flush with the second external surface. When the hook is in a second position, the first hook portion is offset from the forward external surface and the second hook portion is offset from the rearward external surface.

Abstract: A composite optical lens structure for use in protective eyewear. The optical lens structure comprises a polymeric lens structure having an aperture therethrough. Inside and outside lens structures formed of glass are mounted to and within the aperture of the polymeric lens structure to provide a lightweight and economical composite optical lens.

Abstract: An adjustable clip-in prescription lens insert assembly for wrap around style frames used in industrial, construction, recreational activities and in the medical arts. The clip-in prescription lens insert assembly has an adjustable and pliable brow bar structure and adjustable and pliable clip members to form and fix the prescription lens insert into wrap around style frames. The brow bar and clip member structures are mounted in connector tubes fixed to the lens frames of the lens and insert assembly and are preferably constructed of a metal or metal alloy having shape memory properties.

Abstract: A grommet is provided for protecting and securing a conveyance system component routed through an aperture in a structure. The grommet includes a strap having a first and second side and two or more pairs of ribs formed along at least a portion of the first side of the strap. The ribs cooperatively define a channel for receiving the edge of the aperture. The grommet further includes a plurality of spaced apart perforations formed along at least portion of the length of the strap.

Abstract: A system adapted to provide a flow of gas to an airway of a patient. The system comprises a first conduit, a second conduit, an interface appliance, and a retention assembly. The first conduit has a proximal end and a distal end. The second conduit has a proximal end and a distal end. The interface appliance has an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and one or more airway openings. The inlet opening is engaged with the proximal end of the first conduit such that the flow of gas is provided from the first conduit to the interface appliance at the engagement between the inlet opening and the proximal end of the first conduit. The one or more airway openings are adapted to deliver a portion of the flow of gas to the airway of the patient. The outlet opening is engaged with the proximal end of the second conduit such that a portion of the flow of gas is released from the interface appliance into the second conduit at the engagement between the outlet opening and the proximal end of the second conduit.

Abstract: A lead free, thick film heating element. Known thick film heating elements contain environmentally hazardous material such as lead. This is particularly problematic when manufacturing thick film heating elements, as lead is often used in thick film formulations to allow the glass-based thick film to be processed at low firing temperatures. Using composite sol gel technology, the present invention provides a method to produce a lightweight mica-based thick film heating element based on thick film materials that are free from lead or cadmium. This mica-based element is lightweight, has the performance advantages of a thick film heating element, and may be processed at a low temperature using thick film materials.

Abstract: A terrain database that is rendered in three-dimensional perspective on a Synthetic Vision display in a moving vehicle is updated in real-time in response to data from a ranging sensor. The updated database may be stored and shared with users of displays in other vehicles.

Abstract: A packaging device for a trocar assembly includes a housing member having a first retaining member adapted for selective retention of a trocar assembly component relative to the housing member along a component longitudinal axis. The housing member further includes a shield member remote from the first retaining member. The shield member lies in a shield longitudinal axis which is substantially perpendicular to the component longitudinal axis. The housing member is substantially open adjacent the shield member along the component longitudinal axis.
