Abstract: The sauna seat 4 is three flat wooden pegs held together by three holes drill in the middle side of each peg holding it together, with sting like cable made of tough vinyl, which is heat resistance. The pegs are of the same wood that most conventional sauna are design with worldwide. The pegs can slide together enabling the seat to become a flat surface to sit on and thus making more room for other goers if necessary. It can be transported by any of the strings. The pegs are smooth to allow a towel place on top of the seat, if desired. It does not keep the towel dry from other sauna goers if exposed to.

Abstract: A personal protective equipment (PPE) interrogation device that uses auditory or visual data to ascertain a readiness state of the article of PPE. The auditory or visual data come from an inspection of the article of personal protective equipment in advance of determining whether the article ready for use.

Abstract: A retroreflective article including a binder layer and a plurality of retroreflective elements. Each retroreflective element includes a transparent microsphere partially embedded in the binder layer. At least some of the retroreflective elements include a reflective layer that is embedded between the transparent microsphere and the binder layer. At least some of the embedded reflective layers are localized reflective layers.

Abstract: A trailer oscillation and stability control device including an accelerometer and an angular rate sensor. An oscillation detection discriminator detects oscillatory lateral trailer motion in response to trailer displacement data derived from inputs from the angular rate sensor and acceleration signals received from the accelerometer, and then generates corresponding oscillatory event data. A brake controller generates a braking control signal in response to oscillatory event data received from the oscillation detection discriminator.
