Abstract: A pet leash applied to a pet is disclosed. The pet leash includes a leash, a fastening part and a connecting part. The leash includes a front leash end and a rear leash end. The fastening part is mounted between the front leash end and the rear leash end, wherein the fastening part is closer to the front leash end than to the rear leash end. The connecting part is connected to the front leash end; the connecting part is used for fastening to the fastening part to form a fixed collar ring for fastening the pet.

Abstract: The present invention provides devices and methods for safe, easy and cost effective means of placing and verifying proper placement of nasogastric and nasoenteric feeding tubes. Specifically, an integrated feeding device including a tube operable to deliver a nutritional and/or medicinal substance to the gastrointestinal tract, an optical system including a light source, flexible optical fibers or a camera, and a lens, and a steering system is disclosed. The components of the system, namely the optical system and the steering system, may be integrated into the tube.

Abstract: A pet leash applied to a pet is disclosed. The pet leash includes a front leash, a rear leash, a carabiner, and a cyclic grip. The front leash includes a front leash first end and a front leash second end, the front leash second end being located at an opposite end of the front leash first end. The rear leash includes a rear leash first end and a rear leash second end, the rear leash second end being located at an opposite end of the rear leash first end. The carabiner is connected to the front leash second end and the rear leash first end. The cyclic grip is connected to the rear leash second end and used for being fastened by the carabiner. The cyclic grip can be held by a user or be fastened by the carabiner to form a fastening ring.

Abstract: Polymers are described that are prepared from di and mono-functional silicone and silane monomers of Formula 1 in which Y represents a direct bond or a oxy group; R1 represents an optionally substituted organo group with at least one double bond which optionally may be an activated unsaturated moiety such as a (meth)acrylate group: for example 1-n-propoxy(acrylate) or ethenyl; and R2 and R3 each separately, and independently within each optional repeat unit, represent an optionally substituted hydrocarbo, hydrocarbo(oxy), hydrosilico and/or hydrosilico(oxy) groups; or example, methyl; or trimethylsiloxy; R4 independently represents an optionally substituted organo group with at least one double bond (such as R1 above) an optionally substituted hydrocarbo, and/or hydrosilico group for example trimethylsilyl or ethenyl; and n is from about 0 to about 2000; preferably from about 1 to about 100, for example n is 1.

Abstract: A process for the production of sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and chlorine gas which comprises (1) forming an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, (2) placing the sodium chloride solution in a cell having two compartments separated by a separator, (3) subjecting the cell to a direct electrical current of about 3-24 volts and 0.1-500 K amperes; thereby generating hydrogen gas, chlorine gas and an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and wherein the electrical current is generated by a solar panel.
