Abstract: A door stop apparatus for limiting opening movement of a hinge mounted door is disclosed. The door stop apparatus may comprise a body member comprising a first end surface and a second end surface opposite and parallel to the first end surface. The body member may also comprise a through-opening extending between the first end surface and the second end surface, wherein the through-opening is configured to receive the hinge pin of the door hinge. Further, the body member may comprise an abutment surface extending between the first end surface and the second end surface, wherein the abutment surface is configured to abut against the door hinge for maintaining the body member in a substantially fixed position relative to the door hinge. Additionally, the body member may comprise a first side surface extending between the first end surface and the second end surface.

Abstract: A method of processing hemp to obtain a desired hemp component includes providing a liquid solution including hemp into a press. The press is used to separate the liquid solution into a liquid faction and a solid faction, with the solid faction including hemp. A centrifuge is used to separate the liquid faction into heavy materials and a clarified liquid. The clarified liquid is the separated into waste and a desired component.

Abstract: An oral appliance that is placed in a user's mouth. An upper tray is designed to engage with a user's maxillary teeth, and a lower tray is designed to engage with a user's mandibular teeth. Thermal impression material may be designed into at least one of the trays to engage the upper and lower dentition. Two side straps mechanisms are designed to connect the upper and lower trays, and may provide forward positioning of the lower jaw relative to the upper jaw. A ramped lingual shelf may be included on the inside portion of the lower tray, to position a user's tongue forward and upward. The upper tray has an open section in its anterior portion which provides additional space for a forward-positioned tongue. Upper and lower trays may be constructed out of rigid polypropylene or similar materials.

Abstract: The invention is an oral appliance for prevention of sleeping problems including snoring, sleep apnea and bruxism, and may also be used to protect the teeth and gums from surgical instruments during surgery. Specifically, the appliance alters the position of the user's mandible, which is known as a method for reducing the restriction of the flow of air through the pharyngeal passageway. The appliance is a one-piece device molded from a flexible polymer. It includes an upper maxillary tray and a lower mandibulary tray. Both upper and lower trays include inner and outer walls which increase contact area with the teeth. The hinge mechanism of the device includes a positive positioning system comprised of opposed interlocking ridges. The ridges serve to create offset between the position of the upper tray and lower tray relative to each other, therefore advancing the user's mandible.

Specifically, the appliance alters the position of the user's mandible, which is known as a method for reducing the restriction of the flow of air through the pharyngeal passageway. The appliance is a one-piece device molded from a flexible polymer such as Kraton®. It includes an upper maxillary tray and a lower mandibulary tray. Both upper and lower trays include inner and outer walls which increase contact area with the teeth. The hinge mechanism of the device includes a positive positioning system comprised of opposed interlocking ridges. The ridges serve to create offset between the position of the upper tray and lower tray relative to each other, therefore advancing the user's mandible. Additional features include airflow posts to keep the mouthpiece from sealing completely, a cleft contour, and a tooth retention tab.
