Abstract: The articles of manufacture make up a paint brush and roller system. The system is comprised of two different handles that takes different brushes and rollers. One handle is a straight handle similar to paintbrush handles on the market except it is fatter. The second handle is a handle in which the paint brush bristles are perpendicular to the individuals grip. The individual can paint without moving one's wrist. The system comes with a set of interchangeable brushes and rollers. The handles have at their top a dovetail groove. The brush heads have at their bottom a dovetail. The brush heads' dovetail fits within the handle's dovetail groove and is held in place by friction. The roller has a dove tail that fits within the handles' dovetail groove.

Abstract: Systems and methods that enable a Home network to control and enforce its policies across other networks are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention is a paint brush with the handle perpendicular to the brushes bristles. The brush is made up of a handle section, a brush head holder section and a brush head section. The brush head section and the bush head holder section is attached to the handle such that the handle is perpendicular to the bristles of the brush head section. The brush head section is releasably attached to the brush head section. This enables several different brush head section of differing sizes to be placed on the same handle.

Abstract: Inserting audio content into one or more communications channels includes associating audio content with one or more corresponding triggers. A communications channel is established with an initiating device and a host, and a communications channel is established with a recipient device and the host. Voice communications are enabled to be exchanged, through the host, between the initiating device and the recipient device. A dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) indicative of a pressed key on the device keypad is received from the initiating device. The audio content associated with the received IDTMF is identified based on the associated audio content with one or more corresponding triggers. The audio content identified as associated with the received DTMF is accessed. The accessed audio content is inserted in the communications channel with the initiating device and the host and the communications channel with the recipient device and the host.

Abstract: An apparatus for cooling at least two heated surfaces includes a base plate defining multiple upper and lower supply manifolds and upper and lower exhaust manifolds. The upper and lower supply (exhaust) manifolds receive (exhaust) coolant, and the upper (lower) supply and exhaust manifolds are interleaved. The apparatus further includes an upper substrate having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface is coupled to the base plate and defines multiple microchannels for receiving and exhausting coolant. The outer surface is in thermal contact with one of the heated surfaces. The apparatus further includes a lower substrate having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface is coupled to the base plate and defines multiple microchannels for receiving and delivering coolant. The outer surface is in thermal contact with another of the heated surfaces. The apparatus further includes a supply plenum and an exhaust plenum oriented in a plane of the base plate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to bar clamps, and more specifically, to attachments for extending the length of such clamps and enabling such clamps to be adaptable to a wider array of clamping needs. The accessories include an extension bar, a coupling that attaches one end of the extension bar to the clamp primary bar locking the bars in longitudinal alignment, and a stop that attaches to the primary bar or extension for fixing the location of a clamp jaw along the bars.

Abstract: A current sensing system comprises a current transformer; a burden resistor connected across a secondary of the current transformer; a piezo-optic sensor coupled to the burden resistor, comprising a piezoelectric transducer, an optical fiber and a first optical filter with a first bandwidth; and an optical interrogator, configured for sending an originating signal to the first bandwidth optical filter and receiving a resulting data signal and a second optical filter with a second bandwidth for filtering the resulting data signal.

Abstract: The present invention is a protective hooded respirator optimized for both high protection against nuclear, chemical and/or biological agents as well as having a design configuration enabling it to be stored as a highly compact unit. The hood includes a flexible oral-nasal breathing interface interior to the hood. A filter-housing exterior to the hood is fluidly coupled by a single conduit that intakes filtered air during inhalation and exhaled air during exhalation. When in storage, the flexible oral-nasal is folded into a substantially flat configuration.
