  • Patent number: 11199290
    Abstract: The invention provides an automatically adjustable computer stand for thin as well as thick computers, e.g., laptops and tablets. The stand has a first support arm and a second support arm, each arm being connected to the other arm by at least one living hinge, said living hinge exhibiting a relatively flexible central portion whereby weight from a computer pressing on the central portions of each living hinge causes each support arm to rotate inwardly towards the other support arm and into contact with said computer.

  • Publication number: 20210145196
    Abstract: A beverage container insulating device includes an outer wall and at least one protrusion. The outer wall defines an internal cavity and an orifice that accesses the internal cavity. The at least one protrusion extends into the internal cavity from an internal surface of the outer wall. The protrusion is configured to engage a beverage container when inserted into the internal cavity via an interference-fit such that the protrusion deforms the beverage container and affixes the position of the beverage container within the internal cavity.

  • Patent number: 10849445
    Abstract: A beverage container includes a first vessel, a second vessel, a cap assembly, a first conduit, and a second conduit. The first and second vessels are vertically stacked and define first and second internal cavities, respectively. The first vessel is disposed above the second vessel. A cap assembly is secured to a top of the first vessel. The cap assembly defines first, second, and third orifices. The first orifice establishes fluid communication with the first internal cavity. The first conduit establishes fluid communication between the second internal cavity and the second orifice. The second conduit establishes fluid communication between the second internal cavity and the third orifice.

  • Patent number: 10433832
    Abstract: A suturing device is provided. The suturing device may include at least one suturing needle, a drive mechanism and an impulse mechanism. The drive mechanism may be operatively coupled to the suturing needle and configured to advance the suturing needle from a retracted position to an extended position during engagement, and retract the suturing needle from the extended position to the retracted position during disengagement. The impulse mechanism may be operatively coupled to the drive mechanism and configured to accumulate energy during engagement of the suturing needle, and instantaneously release the accumulated energy through the drive mechanism during disengagement.

  • Patent number: 10398432
    Abstract: A suturing device provided. The suturing device may include at least a firing aperture, a drive mechanism and an autoloading mechanism. The firing aperture may include at least one needle rotatably disposed therein configured to engage a suture for deployment. The drive mechanism may be operatively coupled to the needle and configured to advance the needle from a retracted position to an extended position during engagement, and retract the needle from the extended position to the retracted position during disengagement. The autoloading mechanism may be operatively coupled to the drive mechanism and configured to slidably retrieve and position a suture to be deployed over the firing aperture during disengagement of the drive mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10016708
    Abstract: A pipeline strainer having a body with a straining element therein. The body has a Y-shape and defines a cavity to receive the straining element. The cavity may be defined in part by a recess that comprises a surface which may be used to guide the straining element as it is inserted into the cavity. The recess may form a dome. The recess, when viewed cross sectionally, may have a linear segment and a curvilinear segment. A rounded protrusion may be created on an outer surface of the body as a result of the recess.

  • Patent number: 10016707
    Abstract: A pipeline strainer having a body with a straining element therein. A portion of the straining element is in the path of fluid flowing from the inlet to the outlet of the body. A first end of the straining element may be parallel to the inlet, or may be coextensive with the inlet. The second end of the straining element may be disposed proximate a debris drain. A first axis from the inlet for fluid to the outlet for fluid and a second axis from the inlet for fluid to the debris drain may form an angle of less than 30°. A rotatable plug may be disposed in the debris drain. The straining element may include at least one corrugation. A cover plate may be removable secured to the bottom of the body of the pipeline strainer.
