Abstract: A jogging stroller that operates in a walk mode and a run mode. The stroller has a frame having a handle, a front wheel and two rear wheels. The stroller also has a wheel locking mechanism to lock and unlock the front wheel from rotating about a pivot axle of the wheel. The wheel locking mechanism is operated by a twist assembly of the handle. The stroller also has a handle locking mechanism to lock the twist assembly and the wheel locking mechanism in one of the walk mode and the run mode. Additionally, a user can temporarily move the twist assembly to an actuated position when the handle locking mechanism is in the run mode to allow the front wheel to rotate about the pivot axis until the twist assembly is returned to the normal position.

Abstract: A folding bicycle trailer that converts between a bicycle trailer mode, a stroller mode, and a folded mode. The trailer has a frame having a first and second side frame assemblies, and a floor assembly. Each side frame assembly has a front wheel and a rear wheel. The front wheels are removed from the frame in the bicycle trailer mode, and are connected to the frame in the stroller and folded modes. A connection arm removably connects to a bicycle in bicycle trailer mode. The connection arm is removable in the stroller and folded modes, but can be connected to the trailer in a second position in those modes. The trailer has a removable push bar for stroller mode. The first and second side frame assemblies remain vertical but move closer to one another in the folded mode.

Abstract: A retractable load carrier system for a vehicle comprising a rail assembly comprising a first rail and a second rail, wherein each rail is configured to be mounted to a vehicle roof. The system can further include a rack assembly comprising a first support member and a second support member generally parallel to each other, wherein the first support member and second support member can be coupled together with at least one cross members, wherein the rack assembly has a first end and a second end, wherein both the first and second end can include a handle portion. A locking means can be coupled to the handle portion of the rack assembly, wherein the locking means comprises a plurality of engagement members configured to latch to engage the grooved portion of the rail assembly or the pins are configured to engage the pinion portion of the rail assembly.

Abstract: A multi-functional coupler for one or more vehicle components includes a shank, a head connected to the shank, a connector carried by the shank, and a tool. The tool is carried by the head or shank spaced from the connector, and the tool has a fastener engaging portion by which a fastener may be moved to install or remove the fastener from a component. The coupler may be used to both coupled together two or more components, and to remove fasteners or other connections via the tool of the coupler. Conveniently, as the coupler is normally installed on the vehicle to couple together two or more vehicle components, the coupler is readily available to a user wanting to remove fasteners compatible/drivable with the tool of the coupler.

Abstract: Provided herein are screening methods for identifying compounds for use as an arthropod repellent based on the masking or inhibition of the detection of the skin odor by a cpA neuron. Provided herein are also screening methods for identifying compounds for use as an arthropod attractant based on activation of the cpA neuron. Further provided are one or more compounds identified using the screening methods described herein, and compositions containing such compounds.

Abstract: A method is described for manipulating a view displayed on one or more follower participants' devices to track a view displayed on a lead participant's device. A request to manipulate the view displayed on the one or more follower participant devices is received. The lead participant is identified. The follower participants are identified. A lead view of the lead participant is determined. The lead view is communicated to the follower participants computing devices for display. A computing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions configured to implement the method are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for managing profiles for use with touch systems. A user logs into a communal device using a pointer paired with a mobile device. The communal device is authenticated and retrieves the user's profile. The user profile is used to setup a workspace on the communal device. The workspace is granted access to the user's content on a content server. When the communal device has multiple users, each workspace may be shared or not depending on the user's requirements. Each pointer is individually identified to a particular user and workspace.
