Abstract: A container assembly includes a vessel and a lid removably coupled to the vessel. The lid includes a circumferential rim at an interface with the vessel, wherein the rim is separated from the vessel by a gap, wherein the gap is open to the atmosphere outside the container. The container includes a gasket disposed at a sealing position between the lid and the vessel to seal a reservoir of the vessel from the gap. The rim includes a recess extending circumferentially along a first portion of the rim. The recess forms a portion of the gap and defines a venting zone extending circumferentially along the first portion of the rim. In response to the internal reservoir of the vessel reaching a threshold pressure, a portion of the gasket moves from the sealing position through the gap such that fluid held in the reservoir is vented past the gasket through the venting zone to reduce the pressure of the reservoir.

Abstract: An adjustment device for positioning a uterine manipulator includes a support component that is movable along an arcuate path defined by the adjustment device and an adjustment unit. The adjustment unit includes a base component that is secured to the support component and a rotational element that is secured to the base component and to the uterine manipulator such that the rotational element and the uterine manipulator secured thereto are movable along the arcuate path and rotatable with respect to the support component. A positioning system includes the adjustment device and a positioning arm that supports the adjustment device for positioning a uterine manipulator.

Abstract: A fishing device that comprises a basket and a handle or pole. The basket includes a hoop and a net attached to the hoop, wherein the net has a mesh design that minimizes fluid resistance or drag. The fishing device can include a first contact panel that guides fish into the bottom of the net. The fishing device can include a second contact panel that guides fish into the bottom of the net, wherein the second contact panel is positioned substantially opposite to the first contact panel.

Abstract: A hand net device that includes a yoke device having a yoke body, a basket attached to the yoke body, the basket including a net that holds an object and a hoop that attaches to the net, and a handle attached to the yoke body. The hand net device can include a load sensor that generates a weight signal that is proportional to a weight of an object in the basket.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, a method for directing the use of a sprayer includes the step of directing a user to affix a sprayer to a neck of a water bottle (114) via an attachment mechanism (112). The method further includes the step of directing the user to adjust the attachment mechanism (112) to change the internal geometry thereof and attach the sprayer to the neck of the bottle.

Abstract: A drying rack includes a first rack, a second rack and a movable core member. The second rack is pivotally connected with the first rack. The movable core member includes a receptacle configured to receive an associated cleaning device. The movable core member is operatively connected for pivotal movement with and pivotal movement with respect to each rack so as to change a relative location of the receptacle with respect to at least one of the first rack and the second rack based on a relative position of the first rack with respect to the second rack.
