Abstract: A machine having two interconnected wheels, one having hinged weighted arms that fall with gravity to rotate the wheel and store rotational energy for use in a connected shaft.

Abstract: An asymmetrical menstrual device with functional pressure points that aid in the insertion, opening, and removal of the device and requires minimal contact with the device itself, as well as with the body while placing inside the vaginal canal. Major design elements support ease of placement and effective opening of the device to create a seal, while minimizing pressure in sensitive areas. Another design feature is the length, functionality, and malleability of the removal stem that can be adapted to any length up until the base of the device. These elements enable greater cleanliness, comfort, and overall ease of use.

Abstract: The new and distinct variety of cherimoya tree, “Annona Cherimola,” is of large size, vigorous, spreading growth, and a regular and productive bearer of large-sized fruits with firm white flesh with excellent mango-like flavor and eating quality with flesh that is smooth in texture. Seeds are smaller than average for the species. Stem is smaller than average for the species, lending to a more favorable fruit ratio. In comparison with conventional commercial cherimoyas grown under the same conditions, the new variety has flesh remaining in firm condition longer under storage, with superior texture, and high soluble solids (average 23.0 Brix).

Abstract: A vertical blind cleaning tool includes an elongate handle having a first end and a second end. A cavity is positioned in the handle. An outlet extends through the first end and into the cavity. A prong attachment is removably attached to the first end and includes a tubular member with a prong portion and a coupling portion. The coupling portion has a free end removably insertable into the first end of the handle. A receiving conduit extends through the prong attachment and may be fluidly coupled to the outlet of the handle. A plurality of openings extends through an inside surface and into the receiving conduit. An adsorptive membrane has a shape and size generally equal to the inside surface. The membrane is frictionally coupled to the prong portion. Fluid may flow from the cavity to the membrane and the membrane moved along either side of a vertical blind.
