Abstract: The present invention relates to a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, which can include a superconducting nanowire configured and arranged for the incidence of a photon on a region thereof and the formation, on that region, of a localized non-superconducting region or hotspot. The superconducting nanowire is made of a high-Tc cuprate superconductor material having a superconducting critical temperature above 77 K. The present invention also relates to a method for obtaining the superconducting nanowire single-photon detector of the present invention.

Abstract: A glass cleaner includes a hand-held rod and a cleaning frame mounted at the end of the hand-held rod. The cleaning frame is provided with at least two parallel and spaced scraping strips. Both the front and rear ends of a connection portion between the hand-held rod and the cleaning frame are provided with the scraping strips.

Abstract: The present invention is a safety barrier for providing safety to forklifts while loading boxcars. The safety barrier includes a stationary structure attached to a barrier structure via a linking structure. The stationary structure comprises a number of bollards and the linking structure comprises a first portion and a second portion for attaching to the bollards. The barrier structure comprises a barrier end mounted to the linking structure by way of support posts, a pair of weighted ends attached to the linking structure by way of support posts. The barrier structure is rotatably mounted upon the linking structure such that barrier structure articulates between a deployed position and a non-deployed position to ensure safety to forklifts during loading procedures.

Abstract: The invention relates to a face and mouth muscle stimulator formed by an approximately oblong, oval body (1) to be placed in the mouth, having an open central part and side ends (2) that are wider than the upper and lower mid-zones (3) which are provided with V-shaped recesses (4) at the position of the frenulum. Optionally, the invention can include fixed or removable projections (5) positioned on the stimulator or on attachments (8). The invention can also include a sheet (6) provided with holes (7) for the connection of elements such as bottles or pacifiers or provided with a horizontal groove (11) for the incorporation of a bite splint (12) coupled at the front (2b) thereof using T-shaped flanges (13). Alternatively, the body (1?) can have a V-shaped configuration formed by vertical walls (20 and 30) in order to be positioned in the inner space of the lower jaw, including perpendicular projections (40 and 50) by way of horizontal bite planes.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved cranial device with a rotary inclination detector, including a container box which can be secured to the cranium of sleeping person and which contains an electric motor and an eccentric counterweight coupled thereto, forming a vibrator. The device also includes a battery or a battery holder for at least one battery, which is provided with two axially opposed projecting contacts or studs. The container box is provided with inclined formations with dielectric properties, on which the battery or battery holder can roll by means of the studs thereof, and two electric contacts on which the inclined formations terminate, such that, when the battery holder is placed on the electric contacts, the motor circuit is closed, thereby activating the vibrator.

Abstract: A method (100) of profiling a model in a multimedia format includes the step (102) of providing a main page (10) illustrating at least a name (19) with one main picture (20). The method further provides (104) for a main menu including functions selected from the group including an exit (11), a video (12), a portfolio view (13), a 3-Dimensional view (14), an interactive (18), an email (15), a sound on/off (16), or a statistics (17) function. The main page also provides (106) thumbnail pictures (23) of the model, wherein each (24) of the thumbnail pictures have associated full pictures (25 or 31) and wherein cursor placement above a selected thumbnail picture causes (114) the associated full picture to appear as an insert to the main picture.
