Abstract: The hair dryer blower comprises a base, a first paddle, and a second paddle. The first and second paddle may be moved to an open position and the hair may be placed between the paddled. The first and second paddle may be pivoted to a closed position such that the hair passes between the paddles. A heating fan located within the base may draw ambient air across a heating element and may force heated air out of the first paddle and through the hair. The heated air may pass through the hair and may dry the hair. Moist air produced as the heated air passes through the hair may enter the second paddle. In some embodiments, the moist air may be drawn through the second paddle by a cooling fan in the base and may be expelled via an air exhaust port.

Abstract: This invention relates to nebulizers, which are machines that change a liquid form to a mist consisting of micron sized droplets. More specifically the invention relates to liquid medicament nebulizers, for example for delivering a mist of medicament to eyes, nasal passages, and lungs. A housing has a form which rolls to house first and second reservoirs, an expansion chamber, and a vibration element. The housing has a center of mass which urges the nebulizer to roll toward a storage position where the liquid drains from the first reservoir through the drain passage to the second reservoir.

Abstract: A medication injector apparatus such as an injection pen. The injection pen includes a resettable, cartridge plunger drive assembly including an axially floating nut, a cartridge plunger engaging screw, and a drive clutch movable with the nut and which when rotated causes the screw to screw through the nut. When a cartridge assembly is mounted to the pen base, the floating nut and drive clutch are shifted proximally such that the drive clutch is in torque transmitting engagement with a rotatable drive member of the pen, such that rotation of that drive member results in drive screw advancement through the nut in the distal direction. When the cartridge assembly is not mounted to the pen base, the floating nut and drive clutch are biased distally to disengage the drive clutch from torque transmitting engagement with the rotatable drive member and to thereby allow the drive screw to be reset proximally through the nut to a position more retracted within the pen base.

Abstract: The application provides an electronic tagging and playback system and methods of use for displaying files associated with tagged interest items. System embodiments may comprise an electronic tag storing a tag ID and disposed on at least one user interest item. A communications device may have a tag scanner in communication with a playback application activatable by the user for retrieving the tag ID when the tag scanner is in a proximity zone of the tag. A playback database may link to the playback application and may contain a playback file associated with the tag ID. The user may upload the playback file for a number of purposes, including memory enhancement, displaying a reminder, and/or assisting with language learning. The playback file may be any appropriate file displayed by the communication device when the playback application is activated and after the tag ID has been retrieved. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for payroll processing. In one embodiment, the system includes a first database, a second database, and a processor operably connected to the first and second databases. The first database contains information about an employer, and the second database contains a PDF template. The processor is operable to create a filable PDF tax form from the PDF template, with the filable PDF tax form including data retrieved from and/or calculated from the first database. The method of the present invention involves the steps of retrieving with the processor a PDF template from the second database and at least one data from the first database, and then producing a filable PDF tax form from the retrieved PDF template and from the retrieved and/or calculate data from the first database.

Abstract: A method and system for waste heat recovery for conversion to mechanical energy. Exhaust is received from an engine into a first heat exchanger where heat from the exhaust is transferred to a refrigerant. The exhaust is then transferred to a regenerator module in order to produce electricity which is provided to a power box. The hot refrigerant from the first heat exchanger is transferred to a kinetic energy recovery system to produce electricity which is also transferred to said power box. The power box provides electricity to a traction motor and the traction motor turns an axle. The refrigerant is then transferred to a refrigerant cooling unit and then to a second heat exchanger wherein ambient air from the regenerator module is cooled. The refrigerant and cooled ambient air can be then transferred to an engine cooling jacket to cool the engine.
