Abstract: A face mask is disclosed that comprises a body including a material exhibiting a refractive index between 1.2 and 1.7, at least one strap for securing the face mask to a head of a wearer, and an element located and configured to enable adjustment of a pressure between the face mask and a wearer's face. A method of producing a face mask is also disclosed, as is a face mask including a sealant disposed on an inner surface of the face mask. A face mask comprising a polymeric material is also disclosed.

Abstract: A painting system for painting a plurality of colours comprises a plurality of paint supply networks and a plurality of paint return networks, each network for a corresponding paint colour. A number of paint delivery stations are also provided, each including a plurality of drop lines. Each drop line is in communication with a corresponding paint supply network. Each drop line includes a downstream end coupling. Each paint delivery station includes a plurality of paint return nodes, each in communication with a corresponding paint return network. A paint gun unit is provided with a paint gun supply coupling. The paint gun supply coupling is complementary with each of the downstream end couplings of a corresponding drop line. The downstream end coupling of each drop line is uniquely shaped to engage only with the correct paint return node.

Abstract: A portable bag including a bag body and a lighting system secured to the bag body. The lighting system includes a lighting system body, at least one light emitter carried by the lighting system body, a power source supplying power to at least one light emitter, and a control circuit controlling at least one light emitter. A remote controller is in wireless communication with the control circuit to control at least one light emitter. Another portable bag includes a bag body, at least one lighting cartridge having a cartridge body and at least one light emitter carried by the cartridge body, a power source supplying power to at least one light emitter, and at least one lighting base secured to the bag body. The lighting base is configured to receive and removably secure the lighting cartridge.

Abstract: A renewable energy flashlight includes a flashlight housing, a light emitter carried by the housing, and a power source carried by the housing and powering the light emitter. The power source includes a charging magnet, at least one induction coil, and first and second repulsion members, all carried by the housing. The housing is configured to allow movement of the charging magnet between first and second positions within the housing. The induction coil carried is configured to allow movement of the charging magnet therethrough, thereby inducing current through the induction coil. Each repulsion member includes an elastic rebounding material reflexively seeded with at least one internal magnet. The first repulsion member is secured at the first position within the housing in polar opposition to the charging magnet. The second repulsion member secured at the second position within the housing in polar opposition to the charging magnet.
