  • Patent number: 10092788
    Abstract: Disclosed is a slackline activity device including a main line and an anchor line configured to be tautly connected to each other and suspended between fixed objects. The mainline includes two webbings which form pockets. The pockets are locations where the two webbings are not in contact with either other, surrounded by two locations where the webbings are in contact with each other. The pockets may be formed by the webbings being fixed to each other or being woven together. Hangers, such as carabineers, are inserted into the pockets, and activity devices are suspended therefrom. Such a device may be used for recreation and exercise.

  • Publication number: 20150231512
    Abstract: An illuminated device is disclosed which can be used as a seat for a swing or zipline. The device includes an outer shell, a plurality of sockets formed in a tray or the inside of the outer shell, a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed in the sockets and facing an outer periphery of the outer shell, a plurality of retainers fitting into the sockets and retaining the light-emitting elements in the sockets, and an upper lid closing a cavity defined by the outer shell. The sockets each include an upward opening groove formed in at least the rear wall of the socket, and the light-emitting elements are disposed in the upward opening groove. The retainers have a downward-opening groove in which the light-emitting elements are retained. The device may also include downward-facing light emitting elements immobilized in bosses of the outer shell, by the tray.

  • Patent number: 8728525
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions of methods of making and compositions small compositions of particles of an active agent. In accordance with the method of production, the active agent is dissolved in an aqueous or aqueous-miscible solvent containing a dissolved phase-separation enhancing agent (PSEA) to form a solution in a single liquid phase. The solution is subjected to a liquid-solid phase separation to cause the active agent to form small spherical particles that are substantially amorphous or non-crystalline and are injectable through fine bore needles at high concentrations. The particles exhibit the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamnic properties of the active agent. The disclosure has special application for higher molecular weight proteins such as antibodies.

  • Patent number: 8578426
    Abstract: Methods and systems enable mobile TV providers to select programs for broadcast based on viewer preference indications or votes. Information regarding candidate programs or content may be broadcast and displayed on mobile devices. A voting user interface may receive viewer preferences or votes and transmit vote information to the mobile TV broadcast network using a unicast network. Received voting information may be tallied to select a program or content for broadcast. Interim vote tallies may be broadcast to mobile devices until a voting session is terminated. Results of the voting session may be broadcasted followed by broadcast of the selected program.
