Abstract: Handle grip are configured to interface to the end of a bar allowing a user to employ the bar for motion, exercise, stretching or other activity. For example, the handle grips may slip onto the bar under force. The handle grips include a grip section, configured to provide a surface the user can grab. Accordingly, the grip surface may include features that increase the effective friction coefficient. The handle grip also includes an end section configured to react both axial and lateral loads applied by the user via the grip section. The bar can be sectioned, making storage and transport easier. Accordingly, the sectioned bar can be assembly to provide the desired length of exercise bar.

Abstract: An exercise system may function as a jump-rope and a resistance band. The system includes an elastic elongate element such as an elastic rope, a first handle, and a second handle. The elastic elongate element includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a first rest length extending between the first end and the second end. The first handle is arranged at the first end and is configured to engage the first end of the elastic elongate element. The second handle is arranged at the second end and is configured to engage the second end of the elastic elongate element. The system is configured to achieve a first configuration, wherein the first handle and the second handle are arranged in-line with the elastic elongate element, and a second configuration, wherein the first handle and the second handle are arranged transverse to the elastic elongate element.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for extending the usage life of cooking oil used in a deep fat fryer in which the desired cooking oil usage life is determined. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the level of cooking oil in the vat of the deep fat fryer is varied between an upper first level and a lower second level by extraction of used cooking oil from the vat until the cooking oil level reaches the lower second level and subsequent input of fresh cooking oil until the level of cooking oil, used and fresh, in the vat reaches the upper first level.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for dispensing beverages. In at least one embodiment, the system comprises: at least one cup, the cup having a first indicia for denoting a first volume and a second indicia for denoting a second volume; a dispenser, the dispenser having a first fountain and a second fountain; an instruction, the instruction providing a first drink recipe for mixing a first beverage with a second beverage; wherein the first fountain dispenses the first beverage; wherein the second fountain dispenses the second beverage; and wherein a user fills the at least one cup with a first beverage to about the first indicia and a second beverage to about the second indicia.

Abstract: An infrared heater for heating a cooking vessel, such as a Chinese wok. The heater includes a block of refractory material, which emits infrared radiation upon heating to an elevated temperature, forming an inverted frustum-shaped cavity or opening. A gas-fired burner having a burner head which produces a laterally directed flame upon ignition of a mixture of a fuel gas and a combustion oxidant supplied to the burner is disposed in the cavity or opening. A planar structure suitable for emitting infrared radiation upon heating to an elevated temperature and forming at least one centralized opening covers the upward oriented base end of the inverted frustum-shaped opening. In accordance with one embodiment, the refractory block is disposed within a cylindrical housing which supports the cooking vessel above the centralized opening during the cooking process.

Abstract: A cable includes an inner conductor, an inner dielectric, and a guard conductor, where the inner dielectric is between the inner conductor and the guard conductor. The cable also includes an outer dielectric, and a shield conductor, where the outer dielectric is between the guard conductor and the shield conductor. The cable further includes an additional layer of material between the outer dielectric and the shield conductor of suitable composition for reducing triboelectric current generation between the outer dielectric and the shield conductor to less than that which would occur were the outer dielectric and the shield conductor to directly adjoin each other.
