Abstract: A drinkware apparatus includes a liquid container with a reservoir therein, the liquid container having an exterior surface, and a dispensing lid that engages with the liquid container, the dispensing lid having an exterior surface. A pair of hinge lugs extend outwardly from the exterior surface of the liquid container or outwardly from the exterior surface of the dispensing lid, each of the hinge lugs having a mounting surface that opposes the mounting surface of the other hinge lug. Each of a pair of opposing hinge posts extends from the mounting surface of a respective one of the hinge lugs and is positioned between the hinge lugs. A carrying arm is rotatable about the hinge posts when mounted thereon. The carrying arm is selectively removable from and selectively remountable on the hinge posts without adjustment of the hinge posts, hinge lugs, dispensing lid, or liquid container.

Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a printer chamber having a printer bed that supports manufacturing materials and an internal heating system supported by the printer chamber.

An external heating system is supported by or positioned near the printer chamber and configured to direct patterned heat energy onto the printer bed and any supported manufacturing materials.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mutant HLA-E heavy chain comprising one or more mutation which permits the formation of a HLA-E:peptide complex with increased stability when compared to the complex without the mutant HLA-E heavy chain. The invention also relates to a peptide which is capable of being crosslinked to the mutant HLA-E heavy chain, and a protein complex comprising or consisting of the mutant HLA-E heavy chain and peptide.

Abstract: A rear projection dome (10) including: a front screen section (12) defining an upper front edge (14) and opposite side front edges (16,18); a rear screen section (20) defining an upper rear edge (22) and opposite side rear edges (24, 26). The opposite side front edges (16, 18) and the opposite side rear edges (24, 26) form seamless side joints (28) for allowing uninterrupted projections between the front screen section (12) and the rear screen section (20). A top screen section (30) defines a top peripheral edge (32) configured to be mounted to the upper front edge (14) of the front screen section (12). A peripheral top edge (32) of the top screen section (30) and the upper front edge (14) define a conical joint interface (34) for allowing uninterrupted projections between the front screen section (12) and the top screen section (30).

Abstract: A dispensing lid includes a port through the lid, a slider in sliding engagement with the lid, and a detent on the slider. The slider is selectively movable between a closed position that closes the port, an open position that opens the port, and removal from the lid. The detent includes a wall extending from the slider, a lever attached to the slider at a pivot, a pawl extending from the lever, and a catch extending from the pawl. The lever is in an orientation opposing the wall with a gap between the lever and the wall. The catch engages a first stop in the lid when the slider is in the closed position with the lever released, engages a second stop in the lid when the slider is in the open position with the lever released, and does not engage the lid when the slider is removed.

Abstract: A bottle system has a liquid container with a reservoir therein and a lid that releasably engages with the liquid container and, thereby, selectively seals the reservoir when engaged with the liquid container. A slot is in the lid. A storage container inserts through the slot and, thereby, releasably engages the lid when inserted through the slot. The lid forms a barrier that separates the storage container from liquid when liquid is present in the reservoir.

Abstract: A cleaning brush kit includes a bottle brush and a straw brush. The bottle-cleaning brush and the straw-cleaning brush are designed to be stored together with each other, but separable such that each can be used without the other. The bottle brush includes storage compartment in its handle to store the straw brush. The bottle brush head includes an upper ring and a lower ring of appendages designed to clean hard-to-reach areas of bottles. The straw brush includes a shaft and helical blade wrapped around the shaft.

Abstract: Resuscitation apparatuses and methods for assisted ventilation are described herein. The apparatuses may include functional elements that allow the manual delivery of a prescribed volume to an adult or an infant lung. Furthermore, the apparatuses may inform and assure an emergency worker that an appropriate volume is being delivered and therefore lessen the possibility of barotrauma from over-delivery, or ventilatory distress from under-delivery. In some embodiments, the apparatuses include biomechanical and ergonomic functional elements that allow an adult hand to hold it in place during operation, while at the same time, allowing the user to actuate the apparatus to deliver only the necessary amount of volume suitable for an infant lung. In other embodiments, a volume-controlled design is applied to pediatric and adult resuscitation.

Abstract: A resilient fluid funneling assembly for use with a fluid dispensing vessel is described, and which includes a resilient main body defining, at least in part, a fluid collection region, and wherein a fluid draining aperture is formed in a predetermined location of the main body, and extends therethrough; and an elongated and resilient fluid draining conduit cooperates with the main body and which further is disposed in fluid receiving relation relative to the fluid draining aperture, and wherein the fluid draining conduit has a distal end which delivers a source of fluid which is collected by the fluid collection region to a user.

Abstract: A dual-dispensing lid includes a pour orifice, a pour spout corresponding with the pour orifice, and a pour cap selectively detachable from direct contact with the pour spout. The pour cap seals the pour spout from fluid exiting the fluid container through the pour spout. The lid also includes a sip orifice and an elongated and resilient sip spout inserted through the sip orifice. A sip cap is selectively releasable from compression against the sip spout and selectively compressible against the sip spout in a manner that seals the sip spout from fluid exiting the fluid container through the sip spout.
