Abstract: A cold brewer having a pitcher and lid for brewing a brewed effluent from a filter bag containing an organic material is disclosed. The pitcher has a pitcher top and bottom. The pitcher has a pitcher cavity for receiving the filter bag and the lid covers the pitcher top. The lid includes an outside portion, an inside portion, a rim that extends radially from a center of the lid, and a cylindrical sleeve. The cylindrical sleeve extends outward from the inside portion of the lid and defines a lid cavity that receives the filter bag when the filter bag is removed from the pitcher cavity and the outside portion is overturned and placed on the pitcher top. The lid includes drain holes that pass through the outside portion to the inside portion of the lid to drain the brewed effluent from the filter bag into the pitcher cavity when the filter bag is in a resting position within the lid cavity.

Abstract: Described is a raised bottom cold brewing system comprising a bucket having a top side, a cavity, a platform within the cavity, and a bottom side, a lid configured to be placed on top side of the bucket, and a faucet. The bottom side of the bucket includes a raised bottom and a channel surrounding the raised bottom, the platform includes a plurality of openings, and the faucet is below the platform and above the raised bottom and channel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable cold brewer with drinkware for brewing a brewed effluent from a filter bag containing an organic material. The portable cold brewer with drinkware comprises a brewing section, a mid-section, and a lid. The brewing section includes a housing having a brewing section top and a brewing cavity within the housing. The brewing cavity includes an organic material measure marking and a brew line marking. The organic material measure marking is configured to measure an amount of organic material that will fill the filter bag, the brewing cavity is configured to receive the filter bag containing the organic material that was measured by the organic material measure marking, and the brew line marking is configured to measure an amount of water to fill the brewing cavity when the filter bag is inserted into the brewing cavity.

Abstract: An immersion coffee or tea brewing (ICB) system is disclosed. The ICB system comprises a brewing vessel having a top and a filter basket. The brewing vessel is configured to receive a closeable filter having coffee or tea within the brewing vessel and water. The filter basket is configured to be removably attached to the top of the brewing vessel, hold the closeable filter, and drain the closeable filter into the brewing vessel.

Abstract: An exercise system includes a user input arrangement; a rotatable member that rotates in response to an input force applied by a user on the user input arrangement; a power sensing arrangement that senses power applied to the rotatable member due to the input force applied by the user; and a variable resistance arrangement interconnected with the power sensing arrangement and with the user input arrangement. The resistance arrangement applies resistance to rotation of the rotatable member, and is variable in response to the power sensing arrangement to vary the resistance applied to the rotatable member. The variable resistance arrangement may be a brake that interacts with the rotatable member to resist rotation of the rotatable member, and to thereby resist the input force applied by the user. The variable resistance arrangement includes a controller for controlling the brake in response to the power sensing arrangement.

Abstract: An enclosed operating characteristic sensing system for a bicycle includes a sensing arrangement for sensing one or more operating characteristics of the bicycle, and an emitter responsive to the sensing arrangement for emitting a signal from a first location on the bicycle to a receiver located in a second location on the bicycle. The emitter is contained within an interior defined by a component of the bicycle at the first location on the bicycle, and the bicycle component is constructed so as to enable the emitted signal to pass through the component for transmission to the receiver. The sensing arrangement may be configured to sense power applied by an operator of the bicycle to impart movement to the bicycle.

Abstract: A cart has a collapsible frame which is foldable into a closed position for forming a narrow lateral profile and unfoldable into an unfolded open position. The frame has two support members. Each support member has a pair of legs extending downwardly from its opposite ends and a side arm extending between two of the legs on each opposite lateral side of the frame for securing the frame in the unfolded open position with the support members spaced apart. The side arms have hinges for folding the arms relative to a support member. A foldable tray interconnects the legs of the frame for forming a platform adjacent the bottom of the cart. Upon folding of the cart, the tray folds and the cart collapses into the closed position with the support members drawn together into close proximity to each other.

Abstract: A movable cart having a collapsible frame with the frame being foldable into a collapsed or closed position for forming a narrow lateral profile and into an unfolded open position adapted to support a removable storage container. The frame comprises support members with each support member having a pair of legs extending downwardly from its opposite ends and a side arm extending between two of the legs on each opposite lateral side of the frame for securing the frame in the unfolded open position with the support members physically spaced apart to support the removable storage container. The side arms have hinges for folding the arms about a common plane lying in substantial parallel alignment with each support member. The frame also has a tray interconnecting the legs of the frame for forming a level platform adjacent the bottom end of the cart.
