Abstract: A motorcycle child safety system is disclosed, including a handlebar including a handlebar mount to couple the handlebar to a gas tank of a motorcycle. A riser extends between the handlebar mount and a left bar and a right bar, wherein a child grasps the left bar and right bar. Two foot pegs are provided, wherein a first foot peg is positioned on a left side of the motorcycle and a second foot peg positioned on a right side of the motorcycle to allow the child to rest their feet on each foot peg. The handlebar and the two foot pegs comprise the motorcycle safety system to permit the child to be seated in front of an operator on the motorcycle, and wherein the child grasps the handlebars while resting the child's feet on the foot pegs during use of the motorcycle.

Abstract: A system for interactively visualizing different options for tendon repair for a surgeon and for informing the surgeon in a descriptive way of the different options is disclosed. The system may be configured to determine the size of a damaged tendon and propose solutions consisting of the anchor types, number of anchors and a free tendon-to-bone healing area associated with each proposed solution. As such, the system may make a surgeon aware of solutions for which the surgeon was otherwise unaware that are superior in free tendon-to-bone healing area or number of anchors, or both. The system increases the likelihood that a patient will receive the optimum number of anchors and free tendon-to-bone healing area in a tendon repair.

Abstract: This document describes various methods for attaching biological tissues, such as amniotic membranes, to contact lenses. The techniques include using anchor points on the lens surface, employing biological or synthetic glues, and utilizing a piggybacking method. The materials involved in these processes can include silicon hydrogel, collagen, or other hydrogel materials, which may be loaded with growth factors or pharmaceutical agents. Additionally, the piggybacking configuration is designed to degrade or be bioabsorbed over a period of 1-10 days on the ocular surface.

Abstract: A ball return system is integrated with a playing surface upon which a player trains, and includes a ball storage mechanism, ball passing device, and a track structure. The storage mechanism has one or more ball transport mechanisms, ball sorting mechanisms, ball storage groups, and a ball release mechanism. The ball passing device is configured to accept expelled balls from the release mechanism, and to pivot via panning and tilting. The track structure has lateral and vertical motion mechanisms and is configured to raise and lower the lateral motion mechanism. The ball return system also includes optical sensors to capture visual data from player characteristics, location, and movements and a system controller that receives data from the optical sensors and is in two-way communication with a plurality of sub-controllers for passing, lateral motion, vertical motion, and ball release.

Abstract: A system including a pre-roll cone or cylinder used as a sleeve for use with smokeable substances, a tip for being attached to a sleeve for holding a smokeable substance. The tip has a freshness plug at a first end of the tip and a filter at a second end of the tip. The sleeve can be formed using with papers made from a variety of materials. Smoking papers are cut in a way to form sleeves that attach to the larger end of the glass tip, or the end where the tip meets raw material. The use of sleeves allows for the re-use of tips made from materials capable of multiple uses without degradation of quality, such as glass or metal. The filter has a cross-hair or similar shape at the end adjacent to the smokeable substance. The freshness plug is at the other end of the tip.
