Abstract: A locking assembly of a lavatory door in an aircraft, comprising: a locking mechanism; and an occupancy indicator. The occupancy indicator is configured with a display that enables viewing of a status of the lavatory of availability or is occupancy. The position of the locking mechanism and occupancy indicator has been changed from a higher location on the lavatory door that approximates a line-of-sight from a standing position at the lavatory door to a lower location that approximates the line-of-sight from a seated position at the lavatory door. The display of the occupancy indicator is configured with a plurality of display angles to display the status comprising at least a first display angle to allow viewing from the line-of-sight in the standing position and at a second display angle to allow viewing from the line-of-sight in a seated lower position at the lavatory door.

Abstract: To optimize photovoltaic energy in situ and without expensive heliostat systems, the power from full, diffracted, as well as low-angle sunlight can be significantly increased by utilizing flat or curved reflectors and/or lenses in any configuration around and/or above a solar cell, attached or independent, no matter the size or how situated, alone or multiply, with supports, heat sinks, or cooling vanes enclosed partly or entirely in a protective transparent envelope; enhanced photonic capture by this integrally reflective and modular CSP technology could with increased cell receptivity be further employed for nocturnal usage from stellar, lunar, and urban illumination as well as office, store, and household lighting both night and day.

Abstract: This device elevates the midsection of the foot when shoeless, addressing congenital flatness, or lapsing or pronation in the arch. The device, which can be constructed of various materials, does not support the metatarsus or heel, and is attached to the foot by lateral straps or stretchable bands, either singular or in two pieces closed by a snap, buckle, velcro or similar fastener, and adding a heel or, ankle strap or band if greater stability is desired. It may be worn inside or over stockings, and feature assorted shapes, textures, coloration, and decoration. The device can also serve as an orthotic for barefoot runners or dancers by means of longitudinal extension, with openings under the metatarsus and heel so these areas may touch the ground or floor, and employ additional straps or bands. This device may be contraindicated as a diagnostic or therapeutic aid, without the intent of medical application.

Abstract: An assembly system includes an electronic component, a gripper, and a socket. The electronic component has sides and a top face, the top face has a top-face peripheral area and a top-face central area. The gripper has a gripper head, the gripper head being movable to an open and closed position. The gripper head has an extension configured to contact opposing sides of the electronic component when the gripper head is in the closed position, and a surface configured to contact the top-face peripheral area of the electronic component when the gripper head is in the closed position. The socket has a top peripheral surface. An insertion depth guide is associated with the gripper head and has a depth guide with a bottom surface configured to contact the top peripheral surface of the socket. A method for assembly is also included.

Abstract: Dreaming has been found to occur among mammals almost continuously throughout sleep, and can be influenced by environmental stimuli while taking place, particularly with humans by utilizing recordings of short, simple, and repeated questions in the sleeper's own voice, then played back at preset intervals during the sleepstate; this invention incorporates these factors as a methodology to enhance the homeostatic nature of dreams, more specifically focusing them for the sleeper's immediate and long-term wellbeing. The device employs sonic technology in various formats as a novel governor of nocturnal or naptime information-processing by the brain, permitting the safe and effective resolution of immediate issues as well as concerns from even the distant past; it is contraindicated as a diagnostic or therapeutic aid, without the intent of medical application.
