Abstract: A showerhead system with a normally open, temperature controlled first water valve coupled between a hot water source supply inlet and a purge outlet. The first water valve is configured to move from its normally open position to a closed position to restrict water passing from the hot water source supply inlet to the purge outlet when the temperature controlled water valve reaches a predetermined temperature. In a first mode, the first water valve purges water from the hot water source supply inlet through the purge outlet until the thermal actuator reaches the predetermined temperature. In a second mode, the first water valve blocks water entering the first water valve from passing through the purge outlet toward the showerhead outlet. In an optional third mode, a normally closed, manual second water valve is open and passes water through the showerhead outlet.

Abstract: An egg peeler that is configured to separate an egg shell of a hard-boiled egg from the white of the egg. The egg peeler includes a receptacle having a cavity and a lid. The receptacle has a side wall including at least one continuous annular shoulder configured to help crush and separate an egg shell of an egg from the egg white when vigorously shaken. The egg peeler is effective, easy to use, inexpensive, and comprises only two parts and thus very easy to manufacture and package.

Abstract: A nail clipping device with scissor-like cutting edges and a positively engaging pin to trim a nail. In one example, a user interacts with the nail clipper to trim a nail by applying pressure to an operating lever element resulting in the movement of the cutting edges sliding against and past each other to trim a nail in a manner similar to using scissors. In this process, the positively engaging pin applies a longitudinal force to an intermediate lever resulting in an upper cutting edge being urged against a lower cutting edge creating a constant contact point between the cutting edges. This results in a clean and easy cut while containing and controlling the trimmed nails.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring user activity at a mobile device. A method comprises capturing one or more display frames associated with content being displayed by an application executing on of the mobile device; capturing textual information associated with the content being displayed by the application; detecting user input associated with the content being displayed by the application; and evaluating collected data including the captured display frames, the captured textual information, and the detected user input to identify an activity of interest or concern associated with the application.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, the system maintains and enforces assertions about a user's intent and identity at a point of access (e.g., a computer system being used to access a service, system, cloud, etc.). In one example, the system includes lightweight browser components and mobile and/or desktop agents that communicate in the background with a cloud-based authentication service. The system integrates seamlessly with enterprise applications, cloud services, multi-factor authentication solutions and existing identity management solutions. In one example, the system includes protocols, application programming interfaces, etc. that facilitate integration with standards such as Fast Identity Online (“FIDO”) Universal Authentication and OpenID Connect. In one example, the system includes protocols, application programming interfaces, etc.

Abstract: An overhead organizer is disclosed that is used to store items. The overhead organizer according to the invention takes advantage of little-used space near a ceiling to store items. The overhead organizer includes a ceiling mounted unit that is configured to be coupled to a ceiling, a storage unit that holds items to be stored, and one or more than one retractable extender which retractably couples the storage unit to the ceiling mounted unit. The one or more than one retractable extender is retracted and extended with a retractor mechanism. The retractor mechanism can be a double spool constant torque spring. The retractor mechanism extends or retracts the one or more than one retractable extender to adjust the distance between the storage unit and the ceiling. In some embodiments the retractor mechanism is controlled using a wireless remote control unit.

Abstract: A keyed power source connector and keyed device connector that are backwards compatible, ensuring that the power rated device connectors can only mate with power source connectors power rated at or above the device connector power rating. One connector is formed as a plug, and the other connector is formed as a socket. The connectors have are shaped having a profile that is a function of the respective connector power rating. A keyed portion of the power source connector plug will physically interfere with and not be receivable within a device connector socket when the device connector power rating exceeds the power source connector power rating. This connector system ensures target portable electronic devices coupled to the device connector can not draw power exceeding the rating of the power source connector.

Abstract: A portable desk for use in home and office environments for comfortably and conveniently supporting a portable computer or other electronic device on the lap or knees of a user. The desk has an upper surface on which the computer rests. The desk is supported on the user's lap by a flexible, bowable support member which is repositionable, thus allowing the user to change the inclination of the desk in order to adjust the viewing angle of the computer screen. A flexible tray for an accessory such as a mouse may be inserted in a slot at either side of the desktop. The tray may be reversibly inserted with a smooth, planar surface or a textured, frictional surface disposed facing upwardly. Ventilation is provided through a transversely recessed convex channel in the upper surface and may also include a small, USB-powered fan to increase heat dissipation. Cable management features may also be provided.
