  • Publication number: 20250054941
    Abstract: A process for delineating a population of electrode structures in a web includes laser ablating the web to form ablations in the web, each ablation being formed by removing a portion of an electrochemically active layer to thereby expose a portion of an electrically conductive layer. The process includes forming alignment features in the web that are formed at predetermined locations on the web. The process also includes laser machining the web to form weakened tear patterns in the web that delineate members of the electrode structure population, each of the delineated members being individually bounded, at least in part, by a member of the weakened tear patterns that is adapted to facilitate separation of delineated members, individually, from the web by an application of a force, the alignment features being used to aid in the formation of the weakened tear patterns.

  • Publication number: 20250032889
    Abstract: A protection device comprises a first protective plate having a first through hole, a second protective plate having a second through hole, and a flexible strap. The flexible strap couples the first protective plate and the second protective plate. The protection device is configured for installation on a boot of a skate by threading a first end of a lace of the boot through the first through hole, and threading a second end of the lace through the second through hole, and tying the lace to secure the protection device in position above an upper rim of the boot. With the protection device installed, the first protective plate is disposed to cover a left ankle region and a first portion of an Achilles tendon of an individual, and the second protective plate is disposed to cover a right ankle region and a second portion of the Achilles tendon.

  • Publication number: 20230209191
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for leveling and orienting a trail camera mounted to a stationary object such as tree. For example, a device for leveling and orienting a trail camera includes a housing element comprising a first cavity and a second cavity formed in an upper surface of the housing element, a compass mounted in the first cavity of the housing element, wherein the compass is configured for use in directionally orienting the trail camera in a target direction, and a bubble level mounted in the second cavity of the housing element. The housing element includes at least one flat surface which is placed against a flat surface of a trail camera housing to determine a level position of the trail camera housing using the bubble level.

  • Publication number: 20210250504
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for leveling and orienting a trail camera when mounting the trail camera to a stationary object such as tree. For example, a trail camera includes a protective case to house a digital camera and electronic circuitry, and a display screen. The electronic circuitry comprises digital circuitry that is configured to sense a directional orientation and a level position of the trail camera and to generate directional orientation information and level position information. The display screen is configured to display the directional orientation and level position information to enable a user to directionally orientate the trail camera in a target direction and to vertically level the trail camera.

  • Patent number: 9289529
    Abstract: Animal scent lure systems and devices are provided in which scent element holder devices are employed to removably secure a scent element to an animal decoy, for example, to attract wild animals such as deer. For example, an animal lure device includes a scent element holder device for removably holding an animal scent element. The scent element holder device includes a first connecting element to connect the scent element holder device to a stationary object, a second connecting element for removably securing a scent element to the scent element holder device; and an extension arm element connecting the first and second connecting elements. The extension arm element is adapted to maintain the second connecting element offset from the stationary object (e.g., animal decoy) to which the first connecting element is attached.
