Abstract: In the current design of laundry bags there are a few that address some of the most common problems of the struggle and inconvenience of use for transporting laundry. The most standard laundry bags, when packed with laundry, are heavy and without handles. Other laundry bags, that do have handles, are designed as back packs or a single sling strap bag that shifts the heavy weight onto the back of the user which then becomes mostly uncomfortable to wear and creates a different type of struggle. Additionally, the fabrics and materials used for these backpack laundry bags are of heavy materials that increases the overall weight. Other laundry containers with handles are mostly not washable and would require an inconvenient way for them to be cleaned before being able to store clothes that have been cleaned. In some case, one might consider using a standard duffel bag because of its design function of being made to carry heavy loads more conveniently.

Abstract: In the current design of sport bras, mobile phones are stored in the upper bra areas, in front of the bra pads, under armpit, and back of upper bra. The most common sports bra pockets are without zipper closure, and use gravity and other passive compression closure design function to keep items secure and from falling out of place. A challenge with these pockets, for the storage of mobile phones and other items, is that there are no operational components for keeping items fully secure from and from falling out of place during fitness and physical activities. These are not completely practical storage pockets for a wearer engaged in a upside down position of physical activity where gravity can cause items to fall out of the pocket areas. Some sports bra pocket designs do include zipper closures, however the locations of the storage pockets for mobile phones are also not completely practical for a wearer who is engaged in physical activity, such as running, and want to easily retrieve their mobile phone.

Abstract: A method of making a foam using a renewable resource and a foam thereof is disclosed. The foam is made using green polyethylene polymers made from renewable sugarcane ethanol. The use of these polymers to make foam has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide gas emissions by more than half. The foam can be used in a variety of applications and can also be made with blends of renewable LDPE and non-renewable LDPE.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a tension gun for firing arrows. The tension gun is comprised of a stock, a trigger, a pistol grip, and a forearm which are configured in a manner which is similar to a conventional crossbow. The bow arms are removed from the design, and replaced by a pair of coaxial coil springs and other tension multipliers within the forearm, which propel the arrow. A folding handle at the forward end of the forearm is provided for carrying the tension gun.

Abstract: The present invention is a computer-implemented method for designing a drivetrain using computer aided engineering. The method comprises the steps of: a) receiving a selection of a certification test from a plurality of certification tests; b) receiving a parametric description of the drivetrain; c) receiving a selection of one or more analysis types appropriate for the selected certification test and the parametric description; d) providing a certification test model of the drivetrain based on the selected certification test, the parametric description, and the one or more analysis types; e) simulating performance of the drivetrain using the certification test model; and f) determining an indication of compliance of the drivetrain with the certification test based on the simulated performance.
