  • Publication number: 20210244843
    Abstract: The present invention comprises an improvement that embodies an innovation in fire safety. As compared to the typical linear “incense stick”, it is self-extinguishing after releasing a controlled amount of scent, without employing any additional apparatus or fire retardant. Consumers may also save money by not neglecting to extinguish the stick, releasing more scent than desired. Burn times are determined by the length and diameter of the combustible sections, being determined by the manufacturer.

  • Patent number: 11083102
    Abstract: Cable housing assemblies include frames and cable carriers slidably mounted to channels provided at edges of the frames. The cable carriers may house or support male or female connectors to the cables, which may be power or communications cables (e.g., Ethernet cables) that extend from the connectors within the cable carriers into the channels, and through voids within the frames to power sources or communications systems. The cable carriers are releasably inserted into channels at edges of the frames, and permitted to slide in either direction (e.g., up or down) to various positions within such channels, in order to make power or communications services available at such positions. When installed in association with a shelving unit, e.g., between a backerboard and shelves, the cable carriers may be used to provide power or communications services available to such shelves provided at any height within the shelving unit.

  • Patent number: 11027443
    Abstract: A shaving razor cartridge with a housing molded from a first polymeric material and having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface. The housing has a wall partially defining an opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface. The wall has a pair of arms each with a distal end extending toward each other defining a gap. A guard is toward a front of the housing. A cap is toward a rear of the housing. At least one blade is mounted between the guard and the cap. A bridge interconnects the distal ends. The bridge is molded from a second polymeric material that is different than the first polymeric material.

  • Publication number: 20200387526
    Abstract: The invention provides a comprehensive system, method and computer program product for data structure clustering based on variation in data attribute performance. In general, the invention is configured to link a sub-set of data structures out of a global set of data structures based on identifying stimulus type attributes that are structured to produce a functional performance parameter of the associated data structure, particularly in the field of hospital data analysis. Typically, the invention is configured to receive a request for construction of a peer data cluster for a first functional performance parameter of the first entity data structure. The invention may then determine at least one second entity data structure of a plurality of entity data structures that is a peer entity data structure, and linking the first entity data structure and the second entity data structure to form the peer data cluster.

  • Patent number: 10773408
    Abstract: A shaving razor handle includes a main body, a pair of arms extending from the main body, and a pivoting head that extends between an upper end and a lower end. The pivoting head includes a base member and a biasing member. The base member is pivotally coupled with the pair of arms to facilitate pivoting of the pivoting head about a pivot axis between a home position and a fully pivoted position. The base member includes a front wall and a rear wall. The front wall includes a first vertical height. The rear wall includes a second vertical height. The biasing member is operably coupled with the main body and is configured to bias the pivoting head into the home position. The first vertical height is less than the second vertical height.

  • Patent number: 10773403
    Abstract: A shaving razor handle with an elongated gripping portion at a first end. A cartridge interconnector at a second end of the elongated gripping portion has a platform with an upper surface and an opposing lower surface that defines an included angle of about 35 degrees to about 60 degrees. A distal end of the cartridge interconnector extends from the platform. The distal end has a skin facing surface with a pair of side walls connected by a pair of curved lateral end walls.

  • Patent number: 10767331
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for determining curvature for subsea riser system, including but not limited to drilling risers, steel catenary risers, lazy-wave catenary risers and riser jumpers, comprising the steps of: periodically measuring acceleration in a first lateral direction at said vertical position to obtain a first acceleration timetrace processing said first acceleration timetrace to obtain a first acceleration spectra; applying a transfer function to said first acceleration spectra to obtain a first curvature spectra; and processing said first curvature spectra to obtain a first curvature timetrace. Preferably the transfer function is determined by a method comprising the step of modelling the riser as a Tensioned Timoshenko Beam. The curvature may be used to determine stress and fatigue damage in a structure from motions measured at a single location or a combination of motions measured at a single location with or without tension measurement.
