  • Patent number: 12179956
    Abstract: A modular storage system of connectable, heavy-duty storage boxes, crates, rolling carts and/or dollies, work surfaces, organizers, trays, accessories is provided for internal and external item storage and organization and convenient access for use and transport, that is expandable, customizable and readily adaptable. Storage boxes have different sizes by length, width and/or height and have universal box-to-box connection system for stacking and connection to mounting accessories. Boxes have removable, customizable organization inserts (e.g., dividers, storage trays, bins, alignment trays for bins, and bins of different sizes). Box lid rib grid with bosses and undercuts expands internal organization, including cooperation with dual purpose dividers and accessories. Boxes have external mounting accessories to expand external organization. Different housing modes are provided including wall mount systems for wall or side of a truck or van, and different transport modes are provided (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20240139422
    Abstract: A method of treatment may include providing a syringe having medicinal fluid therein for administering to a patient and coupling an attachment portion of an extrusion accessory having a handle and a pawl to a flange portion of the syringe. The pawl may have first and second ends, and be hingedly and rotatably coupled relative to the handle at a first position at the first end and at a second position between the first and second ends. The method may further include applying a force to translate the handle in a direction substantially perpendicular relative to a longitudinal axis of the syringe to cause axial movement of the second end of the pawl. The second end of the pawl may be engaged with a plunger of the syringe and axial movement of the second end of the pawl may drive the plunger forward to extrude the medicinal fluid from the syringe.

  • Patent number: 9086013
    Abstract: Stirling cycle engines with hot and cold gerotor sets separated by an insulation barrier. The barrier has regenerative gas passages to allow gasses to flow therethrough thus connecting displacing chambers of the hot and cold gerotor sets. Each gerotor set has a rotor within a stator and displacing chambers created in an offset space therebetween. The stators may rotate about the rotors, or vice-versa. Either the rotor of the cold gerotor set has an axis of rotation offset with respect to the rotor of the hot gerotor set or the stator of the cold gerotor set has an axis of rotation offset with respect to the stator of the hot gerotor set, and the non-offset rotors or stators rotate about a common axis and are rotationally connected and create an angular phase offset between connected hot and cold chambers. The gerotor apparatuses may be utilized for a Stirling cycle engine for generating electricity, for example.
