Abstract: A new and distinct variety of elderberry plant ‘WCE’ selected to provide a fruit which is firmer and sweeter in taste than the fruit of known cultivars and wild elderberry plants known to the Inventors. Compared to other wild and commercial cultivars known to the Inventors, the present invention yields clusters of berries which will consistently ripen 99% of the fruits within every fruit raceme.

Abstract: Disclosed is a double walled vessel for use in an AR system. The AR system includes AR software and an AR display device having a camera and a video screen. The double walled vessel includes an inner vessel disposed within an outer vessel to form an isolated space between the inner and outer vessels. An AR target is located in the isolated space so that it is protected, but visible through the walls of the vessel. The AR display device is configured to take an image of the AR target by its camera, whereupon the AR system's software processes that image to produce an augmented reality image which is provided on the AR display device's screen for viewing by a user.

Abstract: A lid assembly for a hollow drinking vessel for holding a hot beverage is disclosed. The lid assembly includes a body having a top wall, a port in the top wall, a cover, a peripheral sidewall, and a vent. The cover is slidable with respect to the port to either close or open it. Portions of the peripheral sidewall and the top wall merge to form a crevice providing a path for the beverage to flow into the port. The port includes an elastomeric seal to form a fluid-tight interface when the cover is closed. The peripheral sidewall includes a ramp like projection to enable the user to apply upward pressure thereto to facilitate the removal of the lid assembly from the vessel. The vent is configured to enable steam within the vessel to exit the ambient atmosphere to thereby reduce the build-up of pressure within the vessel, which could result in hot liquid sputtering out of the port when the slidable cover is opened.

Abstract: Disclosed is a housing assembly for holding and enclosing a drinking tumbler and a vessel assembly formed thereby. The drinking tumbler comprises a hollow body having an inner surface with an open upper end. The housing assembly comprises an exterior vessel and a lid. The exterior vessel is hollow and has a side wall terminating in an open upper end and is configured to receive the drinking tumbler. The open upper end of the exterior vessel comprises a first component of a releasable securable connector assembly. The lid comprising a second component of the releasably securable connector assembly to releasably secured the lid to the exterior vessel by the engagement of the first and second component, whereupon a portion, e.g., at least one cylindrical wall, of the lid engages the drinking tumbler to seal the open upper end of the drinking tumbler.

Abstract: A portable, battery-powered sprayer for dispensing two liquid products at the same time. A reservoir cartridge having two liquid chambers is removably installable in a reciprocating bay in the housing. First and second mating pairs of fluid connectors each have a component mounted on the cartridge and a component mounted in the housing. A cam on a pivotable lever causes the bay to move the fluid connector components into and out of engagement. The fluid connector components permit fluid flow when they are joined and prevent it when they are separated. A support beam locks the housing components of the fluid connectors in fixed relation to one another. A guide strip locks the cartridge components in the same fixed relation to one another. A docking station in the bay locates the guide strip.

Abstract: A portable, battery-powered sprayer for dispensing two liquid products at the same time includes first and second nozzles which receive first and second liquids and first and second air supplies. The nozzles are arranged to dispense the liquids at different flow rates, with different droplet sizes, and into different target zones. A low battery sensor prevents operation when the batteries have insufficient power to produce the intended flow rates and droplet sizes.
