Abstract: Systems and methods for recommending foods to a user based on health data, includes a database, a memory and a processor. The database stores user health data for each user within a plurality of users, including vitals, genotypic and phenotypic data, user food preference data and foods data that includes macronutrient and micronutrient data for foods that may be recommended to a user. The memory stores program instructions, including program instructions that are capable of (i) classifying user health data into predetermined diet types and micronutrient recommendations, (ii) filtering the food data to determine available foods for a user; (iii) a ranking available meals for the user based on the micronutrient recommendations and the food data, and (iv) translating micronutrient recommendations and/or food data for the available foods for the user into specific food recommendations for the user.

Abstract: A protective hood (10) is provided for use by a firefighter or other emergency worker, and includes a crown portion (12), a head portion (14), a face opening (16) defined by a peripheral edge (18), and front and rear drapes (20,22). At least some of the parts (12,14,18,20,22) are formed from a knit material and at least other of the parts (12,13,18,20,22) are formed from at least one layer of woven material.

Abstract: An automated/robotic car wash system is disclosed that is able to autonomously wash and dry a vehicle using steam and/or high-pressure water. High-pressure water, steam, and/or pressurized air outputs are mounted to a tool head, which is in turn mounted to the end of a multi-axis robotic gantry system wash that maneuvers around the surface of the vehicle. Also provided are vehicle washing processes that automatically controls the movement and operation of the system, through an automatic main controller that generates and analyzes input data in the form of a movement program, a safety program, a user entry program, a toolpath program, and/or a utilities management program.

Abstract: A non-motorized waterfowl decoy device includes a recoil mechanism adapted for use in a front-facing position or a rear-facing position. The recoil mechanism includes a rotatable spindle having a long axis about four times greater than its diameter. The recoil mechanism further includes a elastic drive member adapted to slidably couple into a pair of corresponding slots on the spindle and engage a rear-support post having a u-shaped alignment channel. A pull cord attached to the spindle causes the spindle to rotate and coil the elastic drive member. Positioning the pull cord through a provided aperture on the rear guide-post enables reward-facing operation and, positioning the pull cord through a provided aperture on a front guide posts enables forward-facing operation.
