Abstract: A modular valve island 100 comprising a plurality of valves, a supply exhaust module 6, a data communication module 7 and a diagnostic module 8. At least one of the plurality of valves has at least one integrated sensor configured to detect an operating condition of the modular valve island. The at least one integrated sensor is electrically connected to the diagnostic module 8, to send sensor signals thereto. The diagnostic module 8 is configured to receive and process the sensor signals therein to identify the operating condition. The modular valve island 100 is configured to provide data relating to the operating condition of the modular valve island 100 via at least one of: a user interface provided in the diagnostic module 8; an industrial Ethernet link; or a wireless network and/or cloud communication link.

Abstract: The present invention relates to expandable styling garment apparatuses, systems, and methods. Specifically, the present invention relates to a first section made of absorbent material and a second ring-shaped section made of elastic material, the second section disposed roughly centrally in the first section. Even more specifically, the present invention relates to placing the first and second sections over a user in a first configuration for use in a first application and subsequently and/or alternatively placing the first and second sections in a second configuration for use in a second application. The first and second sections may be expandable.

Abstract: A basketball training device which is a combination of a generally circular first upper member and a generally circular second lower member, with the second lower member rotatable with respect to the first upper member. The combination is attached to a conventional basketball hoop by means of mounting clamps positioned on the first circular member. The lower member terminates in a lateral direction such that it directs the return of the basketball to a specific location. The second bottom member is capable of being rotated 360 degrees with respect to the first member is directly attached to a basketball hoop.
