Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for patient transfer. In one example, a method for controlling a patient table having a plurality of lockable casters comprises adjusting locking of the lockable casters sequentially in response to an indication of reversing of the patient table.

Abstract: The present invention is a flexible magnetic cleaning apparatus. Once installed, the flexible magnetic cleaning apparatus conforms to the curvature of a windshield, providing sufficient cleaning contact along the windshield. The flexible magnetic cleaning apparatus contains a cleaning paddle and a handle. The cleaning paddle contains a pad connection joint, at least one pad, at least one magnet, and a cleaning layer. The at least one pad is connected to and distributed about the pad connection joint. The handle is positioned adjacent to the pad connection joint opposite to the at least one pad. Each of the at least one magnet is positioned within one of the at least one pad. The cleaning layer is attached adjacent to the at least one pad opposite to the pad connection joint. This optimizes the cleaning process compared to cleaning implements that do not conform to the cleaning surface.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus has a first magnetic board device and a second magnetic board device. The first magnetic board device has a first plate body, a first magnet, a first fastening member and a first cleaning pad. The first plate body and the first cleaning pad are attached to each other via the first fastening member. The first magnet is disposed on the first plate body. The second magnetic board device has a second plate body, a second magnet, a second fastening member and a second cleaning pad. The second plate body and the second cleaning pad are attached to each other via the second fastening member. The second magnet is disposed on the second plate body. The first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted to each other, such that the first cleaning pad and the second cleaning pad are located adjacent to and facing towards each other.

Abstract: An in-ear monitor and a method for manufacturing the in-ear monitor from a block of solid medium made from a combination of wood and acrylic and finished with an acrylic coating. The manufacturing process utilizes computerized numerical control techniques to subtractively manufacture the in-ear monitor from the block of solid medium. Acrylic pieces are embedded into the wood randomly or in a desired pattern so that each block has a unique design pattern. Each in-ear monitor is manufactured from a block of solid medium, will therefore, have a unique design pattern as well.

Abstract: A collapsible holder has a front panel, a rear panel, a bottom panel, and two or more arms extending from the rear panel to the front panel. One or more apertures extend through the rear panel for attachment of a neck strap. The front panel, the rear panel, and the bottom panel are formed from a single piece of material, such that the rear panel and the front panel are hingedly connected to, and extend upward from, opposite ends of the bottom panel. The arms may be pivotably connected to the connectors. Additionally, a spring may be incorporated to bias the bottom panel toward the rear panel. The biasing of the bottom panel to the rear panel, combined with the hinged nature of the panels and the pivoting arms, creates lateral compression between the front panel and the rear panel. An accessory compartment may also extend from the rear panel.

Abstract: A system and method providing an open marketplace for goods and services brought directly to a user on demand. The system provides a real time interface between buyers and sellers of mobile goods and services. The system comprises a first computer including a first storage media storing a first and second set of executable computer instructions programmed on the first storage media, and a second computer including a second storage media storing a first and second set of executable computer instructions programmed on the second storage media. The first and second executable set of computer instructions provide an open marketplace offering goods and services, and further wherein any user of the system can act as both a buyer and seller, on a real time basis interfacing other users of the system. The availability and location of goods and services is available to users on a real time basis. The system is particularly well adapted to use with smart phones or other portable computer devices.

Abstract: A Universal Through Sight Camera System for Army Tactical Vehicles, including a universal through sight camera housing that mounts to the Army's M1 Abrams tank Gunners Primary Sight Extension (GPS-e) by way of clamping onto the outer black anodized eyepiece ring of the GPS-e; a remote head CCD camera easily removable from the camera housing; and three optics adapter rings for adapting the universal through sight camera and housing to other guns sights. These adapter rings include the M1 Gunners Aux Sight Adapter ring; the M2 Commander's Extension Adapter Ring and the M2 Aux Sight Adapter ring.
