Abstract: A modular mounting system for securing a photovoltaic (PV) panel to support structure and a solar array. The mounting system and method configured for flat and pitched surfaces with a minimum of components parts reducing manufacturing and installation costs. The mounting system and method in a rack mount embodiment comprises a base assembly and an elevation assembly each connecting a PV panel via a top plate and mid-clamp assembly. The mounting systems in a rail mount embodiment, the mid-clamp assembly and an end assembly are utilized to ground and secure the PV panel to the rail mount and support structure. The modular mounting system provides a ballast pan, connecting belts for connecting each base bracket to the ballast pan and each other adding rigidity to the system. The modular mounting system provides a reduction in the seismic plates utilized prevent lateral displacement from seismic activity and other environmental factors.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device to aid in spreading a person's legs to increase the flexibility of the groin and thigh muscles. The device employs a bar having a central curved segment that engages the lower back region. Each end of the bar has a pulley through which a cord extends with a handgrip and a stirrup at opposite ends of the cord. The user sits on the floor and places their feet through the respective stirrups, and pulls on the handgrips which pull the feet to spread the legs.
