Abstract: Stimulation for treating sensory deficits in patients with spinal cord injuries and/or peripheral polyneuropathy, and associated systems and methods. A representative method includes addressing the patient's somatosensory dysfunction, resulting from neuropathy and/or spinal cord injury, by directing an electrical therapy signal to the patient's spinal cord region, the therapy signal having a frequency in a frequency range from 200 Hz to 100 kHz.

Abstract: The present technology provides systems and methods for directly suppressing nerve cells by delivering electrical stimulation having relatively long pulse widths and at amplitudes below an activation threshold of the nerve cells. For example, some embodiments include delivering a therapy signal having individual pulses with pulse widths of between about 5 ms and 100 ms. Directly suppressing the nerve cells is expected to reduce the transmission of pain signals.

Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing vehicle operation data associated with a temporary or periodic usage of a vehicle by a driver. In aspects, the vehicle operation data may be analyzed to assess a performance of the driver during operation of the vehicle. Based on the performance of the driver, the driver may qualify for a reward.

Abstract: A flagpole assembly that includes: a pole, where the pole includes a top and mounting base; a plurality of openings along the left of the pole; at least one mounting hole within the mounting base; at least one removable flag, where the said flag includes flag inserts adapted for insertion into openings provided on the pole; and an anchor, where the anchor is adapted to receive the mounting base of the pole. The anchor preferably includes at least two suction cups adapted to secure to a surface of a vehicle.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for providing a product recall notice to a consumer are disclosed. Embodiments include receiving consumer identification information and product identification information from a mobile computing device at a computer server as well as storing and associating the product identification information in a consumer products database with the consumer identification information. Further, a request is transmitted and a response received from a third party database that includes a product recall notice. Based on the product recall notice message, a message is generated that notifies a consumer of the product recall notice.

Abstract: A system and a method is configured for transferring dynamic data in real time through wireless, server-less communication between a immobile computing device and a mobile computing device.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a body having a canister assembly and a nozzle assembly. A suction generator and dirt collection vessel are carried on the body. Further the nozzle assembly includes a housing including an electronic/electrical component compartment a bottom plate and an agitator cavity. An agitator drive motor and a printed circuit board are held in the electronic/electrical component compartment. A rotary agitator is held in the agitator cavity. A suction relief inlet is provided in the housing above the bottom plate. A passageway is also provided for directing air from the suction relief inlet through the electronic/electrical component compartment to the agitator cavity adjacent the bottom plate.

Abstract: An arch curtain rod apparatus for supporting a curtain or drapery in a curved shaped window archway comprising: a flexible rod, a center attacher, a first mounting end, and a second mounting end. The flexible rod is bendable so as to conform to the shape of the curved shaped window archway. The center attacher serves to attach the flexible rod to an apex of the curved shaped window archway and the flexible rod comprises a first mounting end and a second mounting end which serve to provide attachment points for the flexible rod to the two sides of the curved shaped window archway.

Abstract: This invention is a target that uses the kinetic energy stored in a plastic bb after it has been launched and transfers that energy into the target mass in order to cause a colored particulate matter to be expelled in such a manner as to make a mark on the target surface and to expel the same particulate matter into the surrounding area. This target reacts to the energy in order to visually inform the user that the target has been hit and, in the preferred embodiment, the point at which the impact occurred. Again, in the preferred embodiment, the colored particulate matter will be expelled both in front and back of the target. Additionally, the target faces can be machine-washed, dried, and hand-ironed for re-use.

Abstract: A heavy-duty plastic bag is comprised of a flat front panel, a back panel and gusseted longitudinal side panels. One of the gusseted longitudinal side panels has extended opposed gusseted side walls to form bag carrying end panels. The bag carrying end panels are sealed with one another and are each provided with three spaced-apart handle holes for ease of carrying the bag by one or both ends of a person with the bag disposed horizontally to facilitate manipulation in carrying of the bag. The bag carrying end panels provide for reinforced hand holes and comfort to the hands of a user person. The gusseted side panels and front and back panels provide a heavy-duty plastic bag with four display panels.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to providing unique loan identifiers to track loans involved in Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) throughout the life-cycle of the individual loans, in one embodiment, a unique loan identifier, for example, a loan number, may be appended to loan data at initiation of each loan, for example, at the application stage, to and/or beyond the retirement of the loan. The unique loan identifiers may allow disparate financial data sources such as the credit histories of the borrowers to be associated with the individual loans, even as the loans are repackaged and resold as ABS in the secondary markets. Thus, market participants such as loan servicers and investors can access current and historical data associated with the loans. Other embodiments are directed to analyzing the data associated with the underlying loans and providing the analysis to the market participants including servicers, investors, and underwriters.

Abstract: A roof bolt comprises a shaft for insertion in a hole drilled in a mine roof and a head whereby the bolt may be rotated, the head being offset with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft so that when the bolt is rotated by means of its head the shaft is caused to describe a circle of greater diameter than its own diameter, and where the offset is at least 0.08 inch and not more than 0.25 inch. Preferably the offset is from 0.10 to 0.16 inch. The invention includes a method for the production of roof bolts which comprise a shaft for insertion in a hole drilled in a mine roof and a head whereby the bolt may be rotated, the method being characterised by being controlled so that at least 90% of the bolts produced have their head central axis offset with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft by an amount of at least about 0.08 inch and not more than about 0.25 inch.
