  • Patent number: 12514780
    Abstract: An electric shaving massager is an apparatus that is used to facilitate the grooming of body hair as well as to enable the physical stimulation of different body areas. The apparatus includes a modular shaver, a modular massager, a razor head, and a power interface. The modular shaver is an electric shaver that can accommodate different attachments that facilitate the shaving or trimming of different body hair. The modular massager is an electric massager designed to provide physical stimulation to different body areas. The razor head corresponds to one of several razor heads that can be selectively attached to the modular shaver to groom the desired body hair. The power interface enables the selective coupling of the modular massager to the modular shaver. The power interface also enables the power transmission from the modular massager to the modular shaver when the modular massager is coupled to the modular shaver.

  • Patent number: 12326318
    Abstract: A heated bow grip includes a bow, a channel, a heating element, a power port, a first heat-conductive plate, and a second heat-conductive plate. The channel traverses through a grip section of the bow so that the heating element can be internally mounted to the grip section through a channel-wall of the channel. The power port is integrated onto a riser of the bow. The heating element is electrically connected to the power port so that the heating element can be heated from an external power source via the charging port. The first heat-conductive plate and the second heat-conductive plate are oppositely positioned of each other about the channel and removably mounted to the grip section. The heating element is enclosed by the first heat-conductive plate and the second heat-conductive plate thus allowing the heating element to transfer thermal energy to the first heat-conductive plate and the second heat-conductive plate.

  • Publication number: 20230021390
    Abstract: A heated hand grip that is adhered onto the grip section of the bow or the handle section of the fishing rod includes a flexible substrate, a malleable heating element, and a power port. The flexible substrate includes a conductive layer and an insulating layer, wherein the conductive layer is superimposed onto the insulating layer. The malleable heating element is integrated in between the conductive layer and the insulating layer. The power port is externally connected onto the flexible substrate as the malleable heating element is electrically connected to the power port. When the malleable heating element is powered through the power port, the malleable heating element is able to provide warmth to the conductive layer which in return warms the exposed hands of the bow hunters and anglers.

  • Publication number: 20220230538
    Abstract: One variation of a method for managing parking within a parking structure includes: after detecting a license plate number on a vehicle in an image captured by an entry camera unit arranged near an entry of the parking structure, labeling the license plate as unverified in a data log associated with the parking structure; in response to absence of validation of the license plate within a grace period after entry of the vehicle, relabeling the license plate as in-violation in the data log; in response to detecting the license plate in an image captured by a mobile enforcement unit moving through the parking structure, querying the data log for a status of the license plate; and, in response to the license plate labeled as in-violation in the data log, serving a prompt to an enforcement personnel to issue a citation to a vehicle carrying the license plate.

  • Publication number: 20220101468
    Abstract: One variation of a method can be implemented by a computer system (e.g., a computer network, a remote server, a local parking enforcement kiosk) in cooperation with a set of sensor units installed below restricted parking spaces (e.g., loading zones, freight parking spaces) and vehicle transmitters installed in authorized vehicles (e.g., delivery vehicles, commercial vehicles) to automatically enforce parking rules in restricted parking spaces, such as including: parking time limits; grace periods for unauthorized vehicles; billing rates for authorized vehicles; and issuance of citations for unauthorized vehicles occupying such parking spaces beyond the grace period.
