Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods of use and compositions useful for treating skin. The composition includes a combination of one or more of Butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), PEG-50 shea butter, glycerin, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, Prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil, acrylates copolymer, sodium lauryl sulfate, lauramidopropyl betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, glycerin, and polyquaternium-7.

Abstract: A monolithic self-intermittent catheterization system contains a catheter fixed to a connector, and an extension tube that is fixed to the catheter. Accordingly, the catheter, connector, and the drainage tube all fluidly communicate with each other. A quick release retainer may be used to retain the extension tube in a compact state, whereby a user can readily release the extension tube for ease of use. Yet further, the extension tube is made from a non-resilient material and has no shape memory, thereby also enhancing the ease and safety of use.

Abstract: A communication system may include a cellular telephone network, an LMR network, and mobile wireless communications devices. Each mobile wireless communications device may be switchable from the cellular telephone network to the LMR network, and may generate device data. The communication system also may have a server configured to cause a given mobile wireless communications device to switch from the cellular telephone network to the LMR network based upon the device data.

Abstract: Apparatus for feeding sheets of paper printed by a printer to a sheet processing device is disclosed where the printer has a sheet discharge outlet and the processing device has a sheet inlet at a different location (e.g., a different height) than the discharge outlet. A sheet conveyor is provided for conveying the sheets from the sheet discharge outlet to the sheet inlet. The apparatus blows air to cool on each sheet as it is conveyed from the discharge outlet to the sheet inlet, and the apparatus at least partially eliminates static electricity from the sheets as they are conveyed.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for feeding sheets of paper printed by a printer to a sheet processing device, such as a print on demand (POD) book publishing system. The printer has a sheet discharge through which each sheet printed by the printer is discharged or ejected one sheet at a time. The printer heats the sheets to an elevated temperature as the sheets are printed, and the sheets printed by the printer and discharged from the printer carry a static electricity charge. The sheet processing device has a sheet infeed located at a location (height) different from the printer sheet discharge. The apparatus has a sheet conveyor that has an inlet, an outlet, and a conveyor path between the conveyor inlet and the conveyor outlet for conveying the sheets from the printer sheet discharge to the sheet processing device sheet infeed. The sheets are accumulated in a stack within the sheet processing device.

Abstract: The Stinger Bike Rack product, designed by Mike Vickers, is a system for securing bicycles in an upright position during multi-sport athletic events that include cycling, such as triathions. The system allows quick racking and un-racking of bicycles during the race which is a goal of the competitors. The design is modular, lightweight and durable to solve the problem of set-up, tear-down and transport of the infrastructure required to secure hundreds to thousands of expensive bicycles at one time. Racks are computer cut from expanded PVC sheet. Each rack is six interlocking pieces weighing a total of 25 pounds and holds up to ten bicycles. Assembled size is 2? wide, 8? long and 8? tall; disassembled (packaged) size is 1½? tall by 8? wide by 8? long. A standard pick-up truck can haul racks to accommodate 800 bicycles. Set up time is approximately 30 seconds per rack.

Abstract: A fluidized bed apparatus suitable for the combustion of fuel has a baffle assembly arranged in the freeboard above the fluidized bed level. The assembly is in the form of a perforate duct which defines within it a passage connecting with the gas exit of the apparatus. Gases issuing from the bed, in use, and carrying bed material impinge upon the duct and are arranged to follow a vortical path around the duct, resulting in a deceleration of the particles which fall back into the bed. The gases pass into the duct for exhaust substantially free from contamination by bed material. The baffle assembly is of particular value where a gas flows horizontally to a gas exit and prevents or substantially reduces elutriation.

Abstract: An electrophoresis unit for use in conducting electrophoretic analysis of specimens is disclosed. The unit includes a sealable container in which a substrate mounted specimen is suspended in an electrolytic vapor. A heating unit is employed to heat a supply of electrolyte to produce the vapor. The substrate is suspended within the container by being attached between a pair of clips which also serve as electrodes to which a direct current power source may be connected.
