    Publication number: 20150123062
    Abstract: A safety barrier system is a visual barrier having a rigid and detachable top and bottom rail. The barrier is of light weight construction, its main components being made of aluminum and nylon. It consists of a top and bottom T-shaped aluminum rail, the rails being joined by means of nylon straps of various widths that are suspended between the rails, the widths and spacing of the straps depending on the particular configuration, of which there may be a number of variations. At each rail end, both top and bottom rails, there is a loop of nylon strap. The straps are used to fix the barrier to the T-top bollards or star pickets. The top rail ends can include secondary straps for binding the ends of the top rail to the ends of a bottom rail when a section of the safety barrier is rolled up for storage or transport.

  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS (TENNIS ELBOW)
    Publication number: 20150088045
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) via the stretching of an affected user's restricted muscle(s), be it the extensor digitorum communis (EDC), extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB), supinator muscle, or any combination thereof. The apparatus can comprise various adjustable straps and rigid members configured to secure the apparatus to the user's arm and hold the user's interphalangeal joints, metacarpal phalangeal joints, and wrist in flexion, the user's forearm in pronation, and the user's elbow in extension. This combination of joint positions can constitute a desired position which, when held for prolonged periods, can cause the elongation of the restricted muscle tissue. This in turn can cause relief of the user's symptoms of lateral epicondylitis.

  • FAN
    Publication number: 20150086390
    Abstract: A fan assembly for generating an air flow within a room includes an annular casing which defines an interior passage. The interior passage includes an air inlet, and houses, downstream from the air inlet, an impeller and a motor for driving the impeller to draw an air flow through the air inlet and into the fan assembly. The interior passage also has an air outlet from which at least a portion of the air flow is emitted from the fan assembly. The annular casing defines a bore about which the interior passage extends and through which a secondary air flow from outside the fan assembly is drawn by the air emitted from the air outlet.

  • Exhaust gas heat recovery heat exchanger having a lobed tube coil
    Patent number: 8978745
    Abstract: An exhaust gas heat recovery (EGHR) heat exchanger, for recovering waste heat from the hot exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, having a housing and a cylindrical body disposed within the housing. The cylindrical body defines a central passageway and together with the housing defines an annular passageway for the flow of hot exhaust gases. A bypass means is disposed within the central passageway and adapted to selectively by-pass at least a portion of the exhaust gas from the central passageway to the annular passageway. The EGHR heat exchanger also includes at least one fluid tube extending along a tube axis and having at least one lobe extending the length of the tube thereby defining a lobed tube. The lobed tube is twisted about the tube axis forming a twisted lobed tube which is then coiled about the longitudinal axis within the annular exhaust gas passageway.
