  • Publication number: 20250282008
    Abstract: An extended bolt rethreading tool includes a tool body having a connecting portion and a rethreading portion. The tool body is elongated and cylindrical. The connecting portion includes a connecting receptacle designed to receive and detachably connect to a drive head of a power drill, impact driver, ratchet, or similar tool to permit rotation of the tool body in a rethreading procedure. The rethreading portion includes a rethreading receptacle having female threading positioned on an interior surface of the rethreading receptacle. The rethreading receptacle is designed to receive and engage a threaded bolt or similar structure therein to permit a user to rethread a threaded bolt or similar structure using a power drill, impact driver, ratchet, or similar tool.

  • Publication number: 20200388096
    Abstract: Novel security clearance delivery assistance system for healthcare providers working in hospitals nationwide that improves patient care by reducing or eliminating the amount of time needlessly wasted by manually presenting security clearance smart cards to the security reader for authentication while transporting patients across hospitals. In life or death situations, which occur routinely in hospitals, quick delivery of patients to destinations such as the operating room could mean life or death. A health care professional's ability to save lives may depend in part on their ability to quickly transport patients through secured areas, which currently require the transporter to stop and authenticate at each doorway. With the likelihood of survival decreasing exponentially as time passes, reducing or eliminating interruptions during transportation will enable healthcare providers more time to perform life saving procedures and dramatically increase the likelihood of survival.

  • Publication number: 20190353020
    Abstract: A method to provide fractures in a formation includes providing a wellbore in the formation and providing a casing in the wellbore. The method also includes providing communication between an inside of the casing and the formation and providing fractures in the formation using a fracturing fluid comprising a mortar slurry. The mortar slurry has a settling fraction of greater than two percent free fluid in the API free fluid test.

  • Publication number: 20150134817
    Abstract: A cloud storage aggregator is provided that permits a user to seamlessly access files stored in multiple cloud servers, where the application permits an exchange of information between users and their computerized device that includes the identity of a plurality of cloud storage systems to which the user subscribes, and any user name and security information associated with each of the plurality of cloud storage systems. The application is configured to automatically exchange files between any one of the plurality of cloud storage systems and the user's computerized device once an initial connection has been made by way of an initialization sequence between the application and the one of the plurality of cloud storage systems, where the user may quickly and easily retrieve data regardless on which of the plurality of cloud storage systems the data is stored. The application also permits the transmission of such files seamlessly.

  • Publication number: 20140283565
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a luggage security apparatus, and methods of using the same. The apparatus includes a flexible strap including a first end, a second end, a first connector and a second connector, wherein the first connector is positioned proximal to the first end and the second connector is positioned proximal to the second end; and an engagement structure positioned on the flexible strap between the first end and the second end. The first end is capable of being folded around the stationary handle of the luggage and the first connector removably engaged with the engagement structure, and the second end is capable of being folded around the telescopic handle of the luggage and the second connector removably engaged with the engagement structure.

  • Publication number: 20130174362
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fluid-powered automobile cleaning and detailing apparatus that utilizes a fluid, such as water from a garden hose, to generate a highly pressurized stream that forcibly rotates an array of turbine blades within a head assembly communicating with an output shaft that projects outside of the head assembly to rotatably power an attached cleaning or detailing implement.

  • Publication number: 20070193059
    Abstract: A drying apparatus includes a housing, a tubular arm, a telescoping arm and a fan. The tubular arm is attached to the housing at a portion between proximal and distal ends. Also, the tubular arm is able to rotate tangential to the housing. The tubular arm includes a proximal end and a distal end and is attached to the housing at a portion between the proximal and distal ends. The telescoping arm is attached to the tubular arm and able to slide between an open and closed position. The telescoping arm includes an aperture that is open in the open position and covered in the closed position. The fan encased within the housing and arranged to direct airflow through the tubular arm and out the aperture when the telescoping arm is in the open position. The air flow is restricted when the telescoping arm is in the closed position.

  • Publication number: 20060162045
    Abstract: A glove having a heat insulating barrier is disclosed. The heat insulating barrier is removably inserted into a zippered pocket or a weblike pouch, the pocket or pouch being positioned proximate the back of a user's hand. the heat insulating barrier acts to selectively reduce heat conduction from the back side of the hand, thereby allowing the user's hand or hands to remain warm in cold environments. The ability to stack a varying number of heat insulating layers in the pouch or pocket further allows the user to selectively control the warmth of the hand as the ambient temperature fluctuates during use. The zippered pocket or weblike pouch can have first and second opening to permit increased cooling through the back portion of the glove.

  • Patent number: 5020164
    Abstract: An insulating stocking is formed from two pieces of closed-cell neoprene. Each piece is joined to itself along a longitudinal seam; and the pieces are joined to each other along a lateral seam intersecting the longitudinal seams. Two separated 3-way intersections reduce the size and increase the seam strength at the junctures. The closed-cell neoprene has spaced pores formed therethrough and is covered on both surfaces with a moisture permeable fabric to be reversible.
