  • Publication number: 20250074548
    Abstract: An apparatus (206), including: a support (206) having: a strut (204) with a sleeve (214) disposed at a lower end (212); and a base (200) configured to be secured to the strut via a pivot joint (210) therebetween. The base has a fin (202) configured to fit within and cooperate with the sleeve to enable the strut to pivot about an axis of rotation (220) of the pivot joint while maintaining a cant angle (222) that is less than 90° relative to the axis of rotation. The fin includes a first fin section (230) that extends circumferentially about the axis of rotation and a second fin section (232) that extends circumferentially about the axis of rotation. The second fin section is disposed axially offset from the first fin section and radially outward from the first fin section relative to the axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 10909765
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing various types of information to a vehicle driver. Such information can be used by the vehicle driver singularly or in conjunction with other information available to the vehicle driver in order to allow the driver to operate the vehicle in an increasingly safe manner and/or to reduce the likelihood of property damage and/or possible bodily injuries to the driver, etc. In some instances, such information is presented to the driver as an augmented reality environment such that the driver can “see through” objects that may be occluding the driver's vision.

  • Publication number: 20180160666
    Abstract: A simple device that enables twisted fishing line to be easily untwisted is disclosed. The device comprises a shaft surrounded with a helical groove or channel around which fishing line passes while being loaded onto a fishing reel. The helical grooves or channels remove twist from the fishing line caused by a rotating bail on a fixed spool reel. The device can be used with any reel, but is particularly well adapted for fixed spool spinning or fixed spool spin-cast reels.

  • Patent number: 9510898
    Abstract: A method of ablating a uterine fibroid using a particular trocar is disclosed. The trocar comprises a plurality of ablation stylets. The trocar is adjustable to assume a plurality of configurations, each of the configurations having the stylets extended to a different extent from the trocar. A region to he ablated is imaged, The size of the region to be ablated is noted. The size of the region to be ablated is compared to a matrix of known ablation regions, each of the known ablation regions being associated with one of the configurations of the particular trocar. The region to be ablated is associated with a most nearly matching known ablation region by comparison of the region to be ablated to the known ablation regions. A trocar is inserted into the uterine fibroid at a position, which more closely matches the position of the particular trocar with respect to the known ablation region. The stylets are deployed from the trocar to an extent corresponding to the configuration.
