Abstract: A magnetic tool that has a handle with an upper portion and a lower portion and a brush head attached to the upper portion of the handle. A magnetic element is disposed in the lower portion of the handle that exerts a magnetic attraction force between the magnetic tool and an accompanying magnetic base. Various drip trays allow for the drainage or collection of fluid from the brush.

Abstract: A backpack for carrying pets includes a main body that has a compartment for carrying a pet, shoulder straps attached to the front of the main body, a brace attached to the back of the main body, and a yoke attached to the brace so that a singular hole is formed between the yoke and a top portion of the main body that defines a paw portal allowing the limbs of the pet to protrude from the backpack. A tail port can be included at a bottom of the main body to allow the tail of the pet to protrude from the main body. The main body and brace provide rigidity and adjustable compression to allow the pet to sit up in the main body when carried in the backpack. The main body has multiple entry and exit points for loading and unloading the pet.

Abstract: A bottle warmer is disclosed with various visual indicator levels of fluid volume positioned along a ramp on an interior housing. The visual indicator levels include LEDS which are visible from an interior portion of the interior housing and help indicate the volume level of the fluid. In certain configurations, bottle and liquid sensors are imbedded within the bottle warmer.

Abstract: A concrete mixer vehicle includes a mixer drum, a chute, and a controller. The mixer drum has an inner volume configured to hold a mixture for transportation and placement. The chute is configured to receive mixture exiting the mixer drum and direct the mixture. The controller is configured to receive a selected mode of operation of the mixer drum and the chute. The selected mode of operation is selected from a set of multiple modes of operation of the mixer drum and the chute. The controller is configured to adjust an operation of at least one of the mixer drum or the chute to cause at least one of the mixer drum or the chute to operate according to the selected mode of operation.

Abstract: A multi-function paper towel assembly has a frictional component to control paper towel rolling, and a removable spray bottle container that is positioned inverted, and inside the vertical shaft that holds the paper towel. An accompanying funnel may be attachable to the assembly.

Abstract: A magnetic bottle brush that has a handle with an upper portion and a lower portion and a brush head attached to the upper portion of the handle. A magnetic element is disposed in the lower portion of the handle that exerts a magnetic attraction force between the magnetic bottle brush and an accompanying magnetic base.

Abstract: A non-spill drinking container assembly having a container with an open upper portion and closed lower portion. A collar may be removably attached to the upper portion of the container and may have an upper surface with a contour. A seal may be removably attached to the collar and cover the contour of the upper surface of the collar.

Abstract: A multi-layer sponge assembly is disclosed which contains an abrasive portion and a magnet that mates with a separate magnetic element to allow the sponge to be elevated in a suspended position to dry.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques relate to an apparatus including: a pump body, an occlusion bed; and a rotor. The rotor includes: a shaft body; a roller body slidably mounted to the shaft body; and a lock mechanism selectively positioned between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the lock mechanism engages with the roller body to lock the roller body at a first roller body position relative to the shaft body where the one or more rollers can compress tubing disposed in the apparatus against the occlusion bed with a first level of compression. In the second position, the lock mechanism disengages the roller body so the roller body can slide along the track relative to the shaft body to a second roller body position configured to cause decreased or no compression of the tubing against the occlusion bed by the one or more rollers.

Abstract: A cassette to dispense a pleated tubing. The cassette includes a circular body having an annular channel housing and a pull tab and pull strip. At least one wall has an upper end with a lip disposed thereon. An annular cover is attached to the lip at the upper end defining a gap over the annular body. A tubing is disposed within the annular channel housing and withdrawn from the gap. At least one of a plurality of apertures is provided at a lower end of the annular channel housing. The apertures are adapted to be aligned with a projection extending upward from within a container.
