Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system and an apparatus to power an ultra-low voltage tow light assembly at a high-speed charging rate. In one embodiment, a tow light assembly includes a high power charging circuitry, a supercapacitor power bank, a microcontroller, an ultra-low voltage operating circuitry, an LED light bar, an LED lens, and an isolator unit. The high power charging circuitry coupled with the supercapacitor power bank fully charges the supercapacitor power bank instantaneously within few minutes. The microcontroller optimizes a wireless stop-tail-turn functionality of the tow light assembly at a minimal voltage. The ultra-low voltage operating circuitry operates the LED light bar at negligibly low voltage. The LED lens of the LED light bar operates at a low-set voltage. The isolator unit causes an automatic isolation of the supercapacitor power bank from the power source to prevent a potential short circuit and/or a power draw.

Abstract: This invention provides methods of preventing formation of, or treating, fibrotic lesions, including skin scars such as keloids and hypertrophic scars which comprise administering to the subject by one or more injection a compound which comprises a modified oligonucleotide, such as a modified antisense oligonucleotide, siRNA, or oligodeoxyribonucleotide, which inhibits expression of protein involved in fibrosis. Dosing of the antisense using an intradermal threading technique is also described.

Abstract: A solar cell module (1) having solar cells (5) connected to high voltage output capacitor banks (8) which powers loads, frequency modifier capacitor banks (12) which provide controlled electro-magnetic energy during periods of dim light, base plate capacitor banks (21) which frees electrons in the solar cells (5) and electron source capacitors (28b) which fills an electron pool (5e) on top of the solar cells (5) that are all controlled by a computer module (27). The capacitors operating in a pulsating short circuit manner to achieve the highest electron energies. The phenomenons that are created are electron avalanches, multipaction, metastability and magnetic field generator effects all for extending electron energy decay time so that electrons can more efficiently tunnel. through the solar cell. The electon pool (5e) providing a reservoir of electrons to supply large currents. Module (1) is small, portable and has interchangeable attachment modules (36) for enhanced operations.

Abstract: A surgical incision marking template for marking a breast with an intended incision pattern prior to surgery comprises a pliable structural portion with a guide portion. The guide portion is substantially shaped and/or shapeable into a “keyhole” pattern. The keyhole pattern corresponds to the incision pattern generally utilized for the vertical short scar and the inferior pedicle techniques for breast reduction or mastopexy surgery and comprises a generally circular pattern and a generally linear pattern, with the generally linear pattern extending downward from the generally circular pattern when the template is placed on a standing patient. The pliable nature of the structural portion not only allows the shape of the guide portion to be altered but also allows the structural portion to conform to the curvature and shape of the breast. Methods of use for the template to mark the breast are also disclosed.

Abstract: A soft tissue implant comprises a shell filled with a fluid biomaterial that is capable of curing in situ. A method of implanting a soft tissue implant includes: creating a pocket in soft tissue thereby defining the location of the implant; inserting an unfilled shell into the pocket; filling the shell with a biomaterial to a predetermined volume; and curing the biomaterial in situ.

Abstract: An implantable fixation device for maintaining the pre-surgical position of the pectoralis major muscle in relation to the inframammary crease and the anterior axillary line following detachment of the pectoralis major muscle from its medial and inferior origin, such as may be done during immediate breast reconstruction, and methods of use thereof. The device comprises a sheet made of a biocompatible material, such as Vicryl®, that is also elastic and bioabsorbable. The sheet has a number of attachment regions for attaching the sheet to the patient's anatomy. The device may partially cover and constrain a tissue expander or implant, and it may be pre-shaped to further adapt its shape to these surgically implanted devices. The sheet's elasticity allows it to stretch along with the expansion of a tissue expander and yet continue to maintain the position of the pectoralis major muscle.

Abstract: Herein is disclosed an originally designed card game in which letters in combination with negative and positive numbers create variables which allows a player to create games from edge linking puzzles, to board play games to creating games in similarity to the standard American 52 card poker deck. Other-play enhancing features such as deck series shaded box identification and custom design features allows expanded and universal recognition and understanding of the game by players and onlookers from any nationality or language comprehension capacity. This card game invention is able to exist in a physical hand played medium and in a digital video game played medium.

Abstract: A suspension assembly for a motor vehicle including a pair of end links which interconnect the opposite ends of a stabilizer bar to a pair of suspension members. Each end link has a first fastener adapted for connection to the end of the stabilizer bar and a second fastener adapted for connection to the suspension member via locking mechanism having a pair of fastener members.

Abstract: A device for holding small animals in a position to be skinned including a backet having two legs extending outwardly therefrom, a slot located near the ends of each of the legs for receipt of an eyebolt, a U-shaped clamp which snaps onto the outside of the ends of the leg adjacent to the slot for receipt of the end of the eyebolt, and a nut for threading onto the end of the eyebolt.

Abstract: A hand-held garden implement having a central plate with a tapered digging blade depending therefrom, a rake handle connected to the central plate, two raking blades connected to the central plate turned backwardly toward the rake handle, and a covering blade connected to the central plate which trails the raking blades.

Abstract: A target backstop for supporting a target in which projectiles may be embedded comprises a wall member and a plug. Both the wall member and plug are formed of corrugated material. The wall member has a cavity formed therein which opens on its front face. The plug is adapted to be releasably coupled within the cavity. A target may be placed over the plug. When the area behind the target is shot out (i.e., the plug), such area may be easily restored by replacing the plug without having to rearrange or replace the entire wall.

Abstract: A cable splicing backdrop and holder includes a generally rectangular backing panel to which is attached a pair of pockets at either side defining loops for receiving the ends of portions of separate cables and pockets for receiving the ends of the cables. The pockets are mounted with quick detaching means for adjusting the position of the pockets along the sides of the panel. The background is constructed of a light material on the face thereof to facilitate seeing the leads of the cable for splicing.
