Abstract: A filter arrangement for an aquarium is disclosed. The filter arrangement can include a filter housing assembly, a pump assembly, and a transfer tube assembly. In one aspect, the housing assembly and the pump assembly are separately constructed assemblies that are connected to each other via a first dampening member to prevent vibration and sound from being transmitted from the pump assembly to the filter housing assembly. The filter arrangement can further include a second dampening member connecting the pump assembly with the transfer tube assembly to further prevent vibration and sound from being transmitted from the pump assembly to the filter housing assembly. A third dampening member can be provided at a location where the transfer tube assembly is supported within the filter housing assembly to further isolate vibration and sound from being transmitted from the pump assembly to the filter housing assembly via the transfer tube assembly.

Accordingly, the apparatus includes at least one of a microphone and a hand tracking device, a storage device configured for storing at least one medical data, a processing device communicatively coupled with at least one of the microphone and the hand tracking device configured for analyzing at least one of the sound data and the gesture data, generating an instruction. At least one of the head-mountable device, the ophthalmic device, and an implantable device communicatively coupled with each of the processing device and the storage device. Further, each of the head-mountable device, the ophthalmic device, and the implantable device includes at least one of a display device and a sound production device. Further, at least one of the head-mountable device, the ophthalmic device, and the implantable device is configured for presenting the at least one medical data.

Abstract: A system for provisioning reports associated with medical procedures. The system includes device, a processing device, and a storage device. The device may include an output device for presenting a medical data associated with a medical procedure and an input device for detecting an input associated with the medical procedure from a user. The processing device generates a command from the user based on the detecting, analyzes the command, selects a portion of the medical data based on the analyzing of the command, determines an operation required to be performed based on the selecting of the portion of the medical data and the analyzing of the command, performs the operation based on the determining of the operation, and generates a report for the medical procedure using a template based on the performing of the operation. The storage device stores the report.

Abstract: A bone positioning guide may include a main body member, a shaft, and a bone engagement member. The shaft can be movably connected to the main body member and have the bone engagement member rotatably coupled to its distal end. The bone engagement member can have a surface configured to engage a bone. The main body member can also include a tip opposite the bone engagement member for engaging a second bone. In use, the bone engagement member may be positioned in contact with a medial side of a first metatarsal while the tip is positioned in contact with a lateral side of a different metatarsal, such as a second metatarsal. The shaft can then be moved to advance the bone engagement member toward the tip, causing realignment of the first metatarsal.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for techniques enabling streamlined cross application content delivery by enabling a feature, along with a first application, to search, locate, and transmit data corresponding to a second application. For example, a user may utilize a smartphone, laptop, or some other device, to access the first application (e.g., email). The user may determine to transmit a document, which may be stored within a cloud-based database corresponding to a second application. Instead of switching from email to the second application, the first user may utilize the feature to search for, locate, and transmit the document within the first application. In some cases, the document may be transmitted as a uniform resource locator (URL), where the URL corresponds to a link to the document within the cloud-based database. Additionally or alternatively, the document may be transmitted as an attachment.

Abstract: A golf club or part thereof may include a ball-strike head 1, a hosel 2 having a shank 5 that extends along at least part of, and that engages with, the head, biasing means (eg a spring 9) that provides a locking force that seeks to move the head 1 and hosel apart 2 and, in doing so, causes the head to remain locked in one or other of a selection of loft settings 4. The club or part thereof being such that hand force can be applied to move the head 1 inwards to overcome the locking force to free the head to be turned into another of the loft settings 4. The arrangement is such that subsequent reverse movement of the head will cause it to be locked in that other setting.

Abstract: Device to mitigate plantar fasciitis heel pain is disclosed. This invention provides localized compression and massaging action to the origin of the plantar fascia, the most frequently occurring site of tissue damage and pain at the heel. The concentrated compression during weight bearing provides pain relief and brings injured tissues closer together to facilitate healing. The shape of the device and its location at the edge of the heel bone also provide a localized massaging action during ambulation to improve blood circulation, which in turn promotes healing. The device of the present invention may be used as a removable insole or in some instances may be formed into the inner sole of an item of footwear.

Abstract: A modular honing guide system comprised of interchangeable parts, having a multitude of configurations for manually sharpening or honing a multitude of tool types used for, but not limited to wood carving, wood working, fine art printmaking, jewelry making and metal work. A plurality of edge tool clamps mountable to a universal honing guide base system. Tools are honed on planar abrading surface(s) in conjunction with a supporting honing guide base configuration moving across a work surface which is in parallel with an abrading surface or medium. Cancellation of thickness variation of individual abrading mediums, and elimination of variability of abrading surface height differentials relative to a work surface, for a plurality of abrading mediums, is provided. A multitude of bevel, skew and cutting edge profiles are attained. Resulting is a superior solution to honing guides having limited expandability and/or lacking in abrading medium thickness variation or height differential mitigation.

Abstract: The present invention creates a unique method to recover ice from waste beverages. This invention could be especially useful for restaurants. Water reclaimed by the invention could be used to maintain lush vegetation thereby differentiating the restaurant from its competitors in the desert climate. The inventor estimates that about 60 gallons of water per day will be recovered from a typical fast food restaurant with this invention.

Abstract: A shredder including a shredding mechanism, a housing at least partially enclosing the shredding mechanism, and a receptacle that receives and contains shredded material is provided. The shredder may further includes a compactor including a ram that, when actuated, moves through the receptacle to compress shredded material in the receptacle. The shredder may further include a foot operated lever coupled to the compactor to actuate the ram. The compactor may also include a scissor mechanism that guides the ram through the receptacle.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an air deflecting system positioned on an automobile and configured to produce an increased side force and/or a more favorable yawing moment when the automobile is cornering or is otherwise yawed relative to the direction of the free stream air flow. In one exemplary embodiment, the deflecting system comprises a downforce-producing horizontal rear wing located proximate the rear end of the automobile, the rear wing having an endplate on each end. In one embodiment, the endplates are angled or have cambered airfoil cross-sections such that they each generate an aerodynamic force towards the inside of a turn when the automobile is cornering.
