Abstract: A deployable gage restraint measurement system includes a measurement axle assembly, a cross member, first and second support frames, first and second load cylinders, first and second swing arms, and an anti-rotation arm. The first and the second support frames are each pivotally coupled to the cross member. The first load cylinder is pivotally coupled to the first support frame and the second load cylinder is pivotally coupled to the second support frame. The first swing arm is pivotally coupled to (i) the first load cylinder about a first axis of the first swing arm, (ii) the first support frame about a second axis of the first swing arm, and (iii) the measurement axle assembly about a third axis of the first swing arm. The anti-rotational arm is pivotally coupled to (i) the first support frame and (ii) the measurement axle assembly.

Abstract: An expandable elastic toothbrush is a combination of three sections that include: a head, a body and a removable handle. The head contains a top brush that is connected with two expandable side brushes to form a tooth shaped (Convex U) brush. This configuration can cover most of the tooth surfaces during brushing, so it maximizes brushing effectiveness. Specifically, the head is made of an elastic rubber that allows the moveable side brushes to expand according to the tooth size and the depth of individual tooth. Therefore, it is able to conform to the teeth more closely and creates a personally sized toothbrush. Furthermore, the inside of the body and the removable handle have pre-defined areas for attachments such as a tartar remover or a small plaque brush insert. The end of the handle has a gum stimulator. A smaller removable round brush can be added to the top of the head for additional cleaning.

Abstract: An elongate battery pack for removable attachment to a portable computer. The battery pack includes guides at each end surface which enable the battery to be attached in a lateral fashion to the computer, and locked in place by a separate mechanical latch mechanism. One of the guides is modified to include a catch which, during attachment of the battery pack to the computer, engages a complementary guide on the computer to locally restrain that end of the battery.
