Abstract: A shading assembly is configured to provide a shaded area to a user. The shading assembly has a three-point connector locking system with a lower bracket having a first cord opening, a second cord opening, and a pin opening. A first horizontal pole is fit inside the three-point connector pole having a first horizontal pole first section joined a first horizontal pole second section with a first horizontal pole bungee section. A vertical pole is fit inside the three-point connector and having a first vertical pole section joined to a second vertical pole section with a vertical pole bungee. A shade having a first shade pocket arranged around the first horizontal pole and a second shade pocket arranged around the second horizontal pole. Wind blows the shade away from the shade pocket creating a shaded area for the user.

Abstract: Described herein are various technologies pertaining to creating and modifying a computer-readable file for a patient in response to receiving data about the patient. The computer-readable file is modified by appending a child file record to the computer-readable file, identifying a parent file record for the child file record in the computer-readable file, and storing a pointer in the parent file record to the child file record. The child file record comprises the data about the patient, an initially empty pointer portion, and an attribute of a user that has permission to access the data about the patient. The pointer portion may be later modified to include pointers to subsequently added file records in the computer-readable file.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic gauge (I) for use with a compressed gas cylinder (2). The electronic gauge (I) comprises a display interface (4), a pressure sensor (5) having a pressure sensing element (6) and an amplification circuit (7) for amplifying a signal from the pressure sensing element (6), a temperature sensor (8), and a control electronics board (I 0) connected to the display interface (4), the pressure sensing element (6) and the temperature sensor (8). The invention also relates to a method of calculating time remaining until substantially all gas in a compressed gas cylinder (2) has been depleted, and a method of monitoring that a residual pressure valve of a gas cylinder (2) is operational.

Abstract: Magnetically Attached Foam Guards to help reduce Door Dings, dents, scratches, scrapes on items made in whole or in part of iron, nickel, cobalt, or steel. Fabric Material “86” is used to encase foam and/or padding “50” and a row of magnets “70”, or as an alternative, a magnetic strip “71” to magnetically adhere an embodiment onto items made in whole, or in part of iron, nickel, cobalt or steel. Embodiments can be manufactured with the foam and/or padding “50” encased in fabric “69” (FIG. 3A), or foam and/or padding “50” exposed and attached to the fabric framework “89” (FIG. 5C). Although an embodiment can be used to cover a portion, or entire side of an Automobile to protect a vehicle from Door Dings, dents, scratches, or scrapes, embodiments can be used on many other items to reduce damage.

Abstract: Valve assembly (10) comprises two valve portions, an upper and lower valve portion (12,24), each having a valve housing indicated generally at (16,18) which are generally annular and a valve closure member (20,20?) which is pivotally mounted within the housing. The valve closure member (20,20?) is in the form of an annular disc and is provided with spindles (22,22?) by means of which the valve closure member is pivotally mounted within the housing. The valve closure member (20,20?) and the spindles (22,22?) are machined from a single piece of metal.

Abstract: A green ceramic core or other article at elevated temperature is placed between a complaint member and a relatively rigid setter while the green core or article cools to a lower temperature. The compliant member can comprise a fluid pressurized compliant bladder or a compliant, non-rigid setter or facing layer thereon for contacting a side of the green core or article.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for distribution of viscous materials such as concrete slurry or grout mixtures onto target surfaces, the apparatus connectable to a transfer pipe leading from an external pumping mechanism. The method and apparatus includes a generally rectangular chamber having walls providing an upper wall attached to a conduit, the conduit connectable to a transfer pipe by a pivotable annulus or ring. The pivotable annulus provides rotation of the chamber in approximately 360.degree. range of motion in relation to the transfer pipe. As the concrete slurry or grout mixtures are pumped through the chamber by an external pumping mechanism, the walls direct the viscous materials out through an outlet, formed in a lower portion of the front wall, the outlet having an opening shaped for directing the viscous materials toward target surfaces.
