Abstract: A portable blower assembly includes a cylinder that has an exhaust port integrated into the cylinder. A handle extends around the cylinder and the handle can be gripped by a user for directing the exhaust port toward a vehicle. A blower is rotatably integrated into the cylinder to urge air outwardly through the exhaust port thereby facilitating the air to be directed onto the vehicle for drying the vehicle when the blower is turned on. A heater is integrated into the cylinder such that the heater is in thermal communication with an interior of the cylinder. The heater is positioned between the blower and the exhaust port to heat the air is blown by the blower for enhancing drying the vehicle.

Abstract: A portable, foldable, lightweight chair that can be used by boaters, beach goers, and others to relax in a body of water such as the ocean, a lake, a river, or the like. Also, the chair can be used in water up to four (4) feet deep. In particular, the chair enables the user to anchor the chair into the bottom of the body of water (such as into the sand in the ocean bottom) in which the users are using the chair. Furthermore, the chair includes a netted material that allows the water to flow through the chair to ensure that the chair remains anchored to the bottom of the body of water. Finally, the netted material allows the chair to more easily and quickly dry out once the chair has been removed from the body of water.

Abstract: A latch assembly comprising: a latch operable to adopt a latched condition and an unlatched condition; a magnet imparting a magnetic field; a sensor adapted to sense the magnetic field; the latch, magnet and sensor being configured such that a change in the condition of the latch effects a variance in the magnetic field sensed by the sensor to distinguish between the latched condition and the unlatched condition, wherein the latch includes a latch member that is moveable relative to both the sensor and the magnet when the latch changes from the unlatched condition to the latched condition and the proximity of the latch member to the magnet changes the strength of the magnetic field sensed by the sensor.

Abstract: A latching assembly for a gate comprising: a latch operative to adopt a latched condition, the latch comprising one or more members coupled together, each latch member extending along a longitudinal axis; and a lock comprising a lock portion adjustable from a retracted to a projected configuration to bring the lock portion into engagement with the or at least one of the latch members in the projected configuration so as to lock the latch in its latched condition.

Abstract: This document relates to a foldable bassinet configured to provide a short-term, portable, safe environment for a young child.

Abstract: An engine oil filter is provided that comprises a transparent sidewall for inspecting the oil content within the oil filter interior. The oil filter comprises an oil filter housing with a filter element, a center tube, a base plate, and a biasing member that maintains the filter element in position within the filter housing. The filter housing has a sidewall that comprises a transparent material, thereby allowing inspection of the oil within the filter without having to first remove the filter from an engine. Also provided is an oil condition indicator that allows a user to compare the color of the oil within the oil filter housing to one or more oil reference markers. The oil condition indicator is used to determine when the oil has reached its usable life and when the oil must be replaced.

Abstract: A power operator for switchgear for use in mains power distribution systems such as public medium high voltage distribution systems, where the switchgear comprises a closed cabinet (5) with an operating shaft protruding therefrom that is rotatable between two positions and has a coupling part. The motor operator includes a housing (11, 20, 21, 27) which is mountable on an external surface (4) of the switchgear cabinet (5), and a rotatable connection shaft connected to an electromechanical linear actuator. The connection shaft has a first coupling part which connects with the coupling part of the switchgear in a longitudinal axial sliding and non-rotational interlocking manner. The housing (11, 20, 21, 27) is a tube element which is tamper resistant, is relatively easy to seal against dust and moisture, and is inexpensive to manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gelatinous moisturizing substrate for controllably delivering water and oxygen to the root zone of growing plants with micro nutrients, auxins, preservatives and surfactants added comprising a mixture, by percent weight, 97.6% water, 2.0% carboxy methol cellulose, 0.15% aluminum sulfate, 0.04% sodium benzoate, 0.04% potassium sorbate, 0.0167% zinc sulfate (22.23% zinc), 0.07% acetic acid (99%.0 pure) and 0.005% sodium sesquacarbonate. The composition maintains substrates viscosity. As a result, the moisturizing agent releases water, oxygen and the added nutrients, preservatives and surfactant into the root zone of the growing plant at a controlled rate.

Abstract: A portable light assembly (200) has a light head (26) adapted to be housed in a protective container (12) and to be withdrawn therefrom when required for use. The light head (26) is attached to a swivel bracket (28) and is connected to a battery (25) also housed in the container. The portable light assembly includes mounting means (18) for supporting the light head (26) at locations in need of illumination. A handle (14) is connected to a lid (20) of the assembly, and the handle has a release member (36) for releasing an extension post arrangement (30, 32) from the protective container. This allows the extension post arrangement (30, 32), Nd (20), swivel bracket (28) and light head (26) to be slid upwardly by activating the release member (36) and lifting the handle (14).

Abstract: A diversionary therapy apparatus (100) provides a tangible intuitive and immersive interaction device for a patient so as to distract the patient from a treatment. It includes a handheld tablet device (110) having motion sensors and a screen (112) for showing digital content relating to a three-dimensional environment. A controller determines movement of the tablet device (110) and displays content on the screen (112) based on this movement so that the patient can interact with the three-dimensional environment displayed on the screen through physical manipulation of the device (110). Various other interactive features are also disclosed, including interchangeable selector elements, e.g. figurines (114), that may be mounted on the device (110) to allow selection of content and action, a camera, biometric sensors, a touchscreen, a domed rear surface to allow the device to rock on a surface and a profiled screen wall (124).
