Abstract: An energy capture ventilation device is provided. The energy ventilation device includes a housing. The housing is formed by a number of side walls to define an interior volume. A duct is connected to the housing, to interface with a ventilation system. A vent is placed on the housing opposite of the duct. At least one generator is attached to the duct. The generator includes a turbine and is connected to a battery. When the turbine is rotated, power is supplied to the battery.

Abstract: A rotating bathroom floor mat device is disclosed, comprising a series of carpeted, rotatable assemblies, a heating means and a gear and pulley mechanism. The device provides a wide, rectangular enclosure that allows a user to step directly onto its flat, upper surface, which is comprised of a series of adjoining, rotatable surfaces. Control buttons along one side of the upper service are operable via depression of a user's foot, which in turn activates a heating means and fan convection means to rapidly dry a user's feet and remove moisture from the carpeted assemblies. The assemblies are triangular sections that allow three distinct working surfaces. Once a first user has dried his or her feet, the assemblies are rotated to reveal a fresh, dry surface for a second user. The heating and convection means dries the previously used, moist carpet while in a stowed position.

Abstract: The invention relates to nucleic acid sequences and related compositions for producing over-expression of the polysaccharide PNAG of Staphylococci. PNAG may be isolated and formulated into vaccines or used to generate antibodies. Binding agents of the nucleic acids are also described. The invention also relates to diagnostic and therapeutic methods using the compositions.
