  • Patent number: 11806304
    Abstract: A rollator walker assembly with locking mechanism includes a walker including a pair of front legs and a pair of back legs, each said front leg and back leg having an upper end and a lower end, the walker being switchable between an unfolded position and a folded position; and a locking mechanism adapted to secure a front leg and a back leg when the walker is in the folded position, wherein the locking mechanism is connected to the front leg at a position closer to the front leg's lower end than the front leg's upper end, and wherein the locking mechanism is connected to the back leg at a position closer to the back leg's lower end than the back leg's upper end.

  • Publication number: 20220403373
    Abstract: Described is a process for producing a mutant bacterium which exhibits improved survival and/or growth under a selected growth condition, the process comprising the steps of: (a) generating a pool of mutant bacteria by transposon mutagenesis with an activating transposon (TnA), wherein the TnA comprises a promoter capable of increasing transcription of a gene at or near its insertion site; (b) growing bacteria from the mutant pool under the selected growth condition and under one or more reference conditions to produce two or more test cultures; and (c) comparing the distribution of TnA insertions between test cultures to identify a first class of genes which are disadvantageous for growth and/or survival under the selected growth condition and a second class of genes which are advantageous for growth and/or survival under the selected growth condition.

  • Patent number: 10321659
    Abstract: A self-cleaning litter box. The self-cleaning litter box includes a basin designed to rotate about an axis, having a hollow center with an interior volume designed to hold litter. An aperture is disposed in the basin designed to provide access to the interior volume. A filter screen disposed within the interior volume and extending across the basin is designed to sift excrement from the litter. The basin is disposed within a base that supports the basin. A waste container is positioned within the base. The waste container includes an opening in communication with the basin such that the aperture of the basin fits flush against the opening of the waste container when the basin is rotated for sifting excrement. In one embodiment, the self-cleaning litter box incorporates a motion sensor, a weight sensor and a wireless transceiver.

  • Patent number: 10231431
    Abstract: A self-cleaning litter box configured to sift excrement from cat litter. The self-cleaning litter box includes a drum designed to rotate about an axis, having a hollow center with an interior volume designed to hold cat litter, with a pair of annular sides opposite one another coupled by a circumferential sidewall. An aperture disposed in the circumferential sidewall designed to provide access to the interior volume. A filter screen disposed within the interior volume and extending across the drum is designed to sift excrement from cat litter. The drum is disposed within a base such that each annular side is flush against the base. A waste container is positioned within the base. The waste container includes an opening in communication with the drum such that the aperture of the drum is configured to fit flush against the opening of the waste container when the drum is rotated for sifting excrement.

  • Patent number: 10081950
    Abstract: A guard rail system that is assembled from a kit of components that includes bottom rails, top rails and balusters and U-shaped top rail inserts that fit into the underside of the top rails. The tops of the balusters are inserted through the spaced apart holes in the base of the insert. The top rail has a body and a pair of spaced apart legs extending downward from the body. After the system has been assembled the legs engage the uprights of the top rail insert to create a compression fit between the top rail insert and the tops of the balusters.

  • Patent number: 9745572
    Abstract: Provided are methods for identifying differentially represented genes, the method comprising the steps of generating a pool of mutant bacteria by transposon mutagenesis with an activating transposon (TnA), wherein the TnA comprises a promoter such that transposon insertion into bacterial DNA increases the transcription of a gene at or near the insertion site; growing bacteria from the mutant pool in the presence of different amounts of said antibiotic to produce two or more test cultures; and comparing the distribution of TnA insertions between test cultures.
