  • Publication number: 20240144177
    Abstract: A system, method, process, and mechanism for fulfilling multi-vendor orders within a drive-through complex with a vertical transport system that delivers the multi-vendor orders to pick-up stations located below the floors with the vendors. The system receives an order from a user device of a user, wherein the order includes at least two sub-orders. The sub-orders are processed based at least on the preparation times. The sub-orders are tracked and an available drive-through lane with an available pick-up station is determined for the order including the sub-orders. Notifications may be sent to a user or third party user for order pick-up. When the order is complete, it is consolidated and the order is transferred to the available pick-up station.

  • Publication number: 20210338475
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus, system, and method for the cooling and transferring of a fluid to a patient. The apparatus can be contained in an enclosure having at least two sections, that house an energy storage device, a power connection that may be coupled to an energy storage device; and a heat transfer assembly that cools the fluid. The enclosure may have a fluid receiving point, and a fluid transfer point with a sensor for monitoring the temperature of a fluid before transfer to a cooling wrap through a fluid transfer hose. A fluid transfer hose may couple the fluid transfer point at one end to a cooling wrap or cap at a second end. The fluid can be returned or received from the cooling wrap at the fluid transfer point, and the temperature of the fluid monitored when received at the fluid transfer point.

  • Publication number: 20210267792
    Abstract: A scalp cooling apparatus, method, and system that may include an inner scalp cap, an intermediate scalp covering, and an outer scalp cap. The inner scalp cap may be fluidly coupled to a cooling device, that would allow a cooling fluid to traverse the fluid chambers within a set of sections of the inner scalp cap. The inner scalp covering can be constructed of a thermally conductive material. The intermediate scalp covering can be constructed of a thermally neutral material. The outer scalp covering can be constructed of a thermally resistant material. The outer scalp covering may have a first securing mechanism, and a second securing mechanism, that allow the outer scalp covering to be dynamically adjusted and secured against a patient's scalp via the first securing mechanism and the second securing mechanism. The inner scalp cap may be created from a scan of a patient's head, that can then be utilized as an interpolated parametric model may be utilized to generate an output file.

  • Publication number: 20050098581
    Abstract: An improved foam generation assembly for a container includes a foam generator for producing foam. Two channels allow air or liquid into the foam generator. However, if one channel provides air for the foam generator, then the other channel provides liquid. A tube is attached to one channel, and extends near the base of the container. Thus, when the container is in is squeezed while in a generally upright position, liquid enters the tube and passes through a channel into the foam generator. Air enters the foam generator through the other channel. When the container is squeezed in a generally inverted position, air enters the tube and passes through a channel into the foam generator. Liquid enters the foam generator through the other channel. A valve is provided to seal the channels when foam is not being produced by the foam generator. A vent located in the exterior of the foam generation assembly allows air to return to the container.

  • Publication number: 20050061826
    Abstract: A threader for a wipe dispenser is initially attached to the lid of the wipe dispenser for a continuous roll of wipes. The threader has a handle at one end and a snag at the other. When the wipe dispenser is first opened, the threader is removed from the lid. The snag is inserted into the wipe dispenser. The threader is manipulated to allow the snag to come into contact with the first wipe on the continuous roll of wipes. The threader is then pulled from the wipe dispenser, pulling the first wipe from the wipe dispenser. The threader is then returned to the lid for later use.
