Abstract: A reinforced alloy comprising reinforcement particles (fine and/or coarse) for a bracket that provides enhanced theft deterrence and lightweight. The bracket may be used for a lock for a personal transportation vehicle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to piston assembly comprising a piston having a circumferential groove and a ring groove insert within the circumferential groove of the piston. Particularly, the ring groove insert is a second material different from a first material of the piston. The second material has at least one of the following: a) a density from 90% to 120% of a density of the first material; b) a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) from 50% to 90% of a CTE of the first material; or c) a thermal conductivity greater than a thermal conductivity of the first material.

Abstract: A container-closure system comprises a threaded-neck container that houses a first flowable product in a first reservoir. A closure assembly for the container initially houses a second flowable product in a second reservoir, and comprises a threaded cap and a cap insert. Movement of the cap insert with respect to the threaded cap effects the mixing of the two flowable products in the first reservoir.

Abstract: A container-closure system comprises a threaded-neck container that houses a first flowable product in a first reservoir. A threaded closure assembly for the container initially houses a second flowable product in a second reservoir, and comprises an inner cap and an overcap. Movement of the overcap with respect to the inner cap effects the mixing of the two flowable products in the first reservoir.

Abstract: Implementations described herein include adjustable nail filing assemblies capable of filing fingernails to a consistent length or shape. Such assemblies have a main body, an abrading member, and a finger bed. The main body extends along a housing longitudinal axis from a first end to an opposed second end. The first end includes an opening for receiving a finger bearing a fingernail. The abrading member is removably coupleable to the second end of the main body and includes a contoured abrasive surface. The finger bed for holding a finger is movably disposed in the main body. Movement of the finger bed relative to the abrading member files the nail to a predetermined length or shape. The finger bed is translatable along a predetermined pathway relative to the abrading member. The predetermined pathway includes an arc extending in a plane transverse or parallel to the housing longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A device for treating fabrics in a tumble dryer during multiple tumble drying cycles, the device comprising a support member attachable to a reservoir for storing fabric treatment composition, the support member including attachment means for attachment of the device to the tumble dryer interior, preferably the door, wherein the device, preferably the support member, includes one or more flexible portions which contact the dryer interior and allow positional adjustment of the device relative to the tumble dryer interior, during attachment by the user.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pour spout fitment that has an enlarged spout opening thereby making it less susceptible to double pouring and advantageous for dispensing new flowable product forms such as gels. The pour spout opening is large relative to the bottle opening which is equated with the fitment's circumscribing wall. Accordingly, the pour spout fitment is less susceptible to double pouring and may also be useful for pouring more viscous product forms such as gels.
