Abstract: The vehicle interior deodorizer may comprise a deodorizing device for deodorizing the interior of a vehicle and a method of using the deodorizing device. During a treatment cycle, the deodorizing device may release a chemical tablet into a cup holding water after an evacuation interval. The chemical tablet may dissolve in the water, creating a deodorizing solution. A bubbler mechanism may de-gas the deodorizing solution and may force deodorizing gas out of the deodorizing device such that the deodorizing gas may saturate the interior of the vehicle during a treatment interval. The bubbler mechanism may quiesce during a dissipation interval such that the deodorizing gas may abate. The vehicle may be opened and aired out to complete the treatment cycle.

Abstract: The tire sensing and analysis system may comprise a measurement device and local application software. The measurement device may make contact with a tire of a vehicle such that the measurement device is positioned at a specific distance and orientation relative to the tire. The measurement device may capture multiple images of the tire using an RGB camera and a pair of infrared cameras. The local application software may analyze the images and may construct a 3D mesh describing the 3-dimensional contours of the tread. The local application software may determine a tread depth, tread issues, and tire condition and may display status and warning messages on a display unit that is coupled to the measurement device. The measurements may be communicated to remote application software for additional analysis. As non-limiting examples, the remote application software may detect specific tire wear patterns and may transmit a report to share results of the analysis.

Abstract: A hoverbarrow apparatus is provided to mechanically lift objects to be transported using a cushion of turbulent air as the force providing the lift. The air cushion methods of lift drastically reduce the physical exertion necessary for motion, forward or reverse, required to perform the task of transporting objects. The air cushion further improves the performance and use of the barrow by allowing the barrow to float on turbulent air over objects in its path significantly reducing or eliminating impressions and divots in the surface currently associated with the present wheelbarrow technology.

Abstract: A leisure equipment trolley includes an elongate base spine aligned with the longitudinal axis of the trolley, at least two rear wheels and one front wheel being mounted on the base spine, and load support means on which a load can be mounted in use. The trolley further includes a collapsible support frame being mounted on the spine and movable from a collapsed condition wherein the support frame is adjacent the spine to an operational condition in which the support frame is upstanding from the spine. The support frame includes two elongate frame members, first ends of which are pivotally connected together, the other end of the first elongate frame member being pivotally mounted to the base spine, the other end of the second elongate frame member being movably mounted on the base spine so as to be moveable along the spine.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of lighting. More particularly, the present invention relates to decorative, reconfigurable or energy and maintenance efficient fluorescent light fixtures that use energy efficient lamps and ballasts, and to an apparatus for new fluorescent light fixtures and for replacing an existing fluorescent light fixture for energy efficient use. Further, the present invention relates to a system that integrates light fixtures with a suspended grid ceiling or a solid ceiling.
