  • Publication number: 20260290979
    Abstract: A multi-cell cell system can include a cap, a rack, and a power system. The cap can be securable to a cell. The cap can be configured to receive a positive terminal and a negative terminal of the cell at least partially therethrough. The rack can be configured to receive the cell when the cap is secured to the cell to secure the cell to the rack. The power system can be connected to the rack and can be electrically connectable to the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the cell when the cell is received within the rack. The power system can deliver electrical power from the cell.

  • Patent number: 7467631
    Abstract: An improved single-handed flossing device is provided which allows a user to use a high strength floss in order to obtain a relatively high floss tension between two tines of the device. The flossing device comprises a housing within which a floss supply, floss pathways, and a take-up mechanism are disposed. Actuation of the take up mechanism advances floss from the supply and through the pathways. The floss exits the housing and is exposed between a pair of housing tines. The exposed portion of floss is used by the user during flossing. A stop mechanism disposed between the supply floss and the take-up mechanism selectively restrains floss from being advanced. When the stop mechanism is engaged, actuation of the take-up mechanism applies tension to floss. The floss preferably has a relatively high strength, and the flossing device is configured in order to accommodate and capitalize on the characteristics of such high strength floss.
