Abstract: A hand roller (100) for application of pressure to a surface. The hand roller comprises a handle (102) rigidly secured to a roller frame (104). A roller cylinder (106) is rotatably secured to the roller frame (104). The roller frame (104) features an upper pressure surface (120) having an ergonomic shape to facilitate the application of enhanced pressure on the roller cylinder (106).

Abstract: In a Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architecture (CGRA) system, two configuration files are used. The CGRA system has an array of configurable units that includes a plurality of switches, a print configurable unit, a source configurable unit, and one or more sink configurable units, The first configuration file, upon being executed by the CGRA system, configures the CGRA system to send output data directly from the source configurable unit to the one or more sink configurable units through the plurality of switches. The second configuration file, upon being executed into the CGRA system, configures the CGRA system to send the output data from the source configurable unit to the print configurable unit through the plurality of switches, send the output data from the print configurable unit to both a memory that is accessible by a host computing unit, and the one or more sink configurable units.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cleaning a surface by connecting a cleaning system to a faucet, which contains water from a water source. The cleaning system includes a hose member and a dispensing gun, and the hose member interconnects the faucet and the dispensing gun. The faucet is turned on so that water flows from the faucet, through the hose member, and into an inlet of the dispensing gun. A use solution is created within the dispensing gun. The use solution is then sprayed from the dispensing gun onto the surface. The faucet is turned off, and water is allowed to discharge from the hose member and the dispensing gun. The hose member is disconnected from the faucet.

Abstract: A thermostat reading enhancer is provided which includes an enhancer body adapted to be positioned adjacent a thermostat. The enhancer body can have at least portions thereof abuttingly contacting a mounting surface and retained in a position between the thermostat and the mounting surface or retained in a positioned adjacent the thermostat. The enhancer body also has substantially larger enhancer indicia than indicia on the adjacent thermostat visibly displayed on a surface thereof. The enhancer indicia align with the thermostat indicia in such a way that the enhancer indicia correspond directly to thermostat controls and settings. Methods of retrofitting an existing thermostat, installing and using a thermostat with enhanced reading are also provided.
