Abstract: A breathing apparatus includes a tank containing pressurized breathing gas, a regulator having an inlet connected to the tank, an outlet for providing breathing gas to a user, and a valve configured for controlling a flow of breathing gas between the inlet and the outlet. A facepiece includes a first port for connecting with the outlet of the regulator, a second port adapted to be connected to an air purifying system, and an exhalation valve. A pneumatic pressure adjustment assembly is in operative connection with the exhalation valve, and has a first pneumatic connection in operative connection with a second pneumatic connection in the regulator. The pneumatic pressure adjustment assembly is operable to adjust the internal facepiece pressure for opening the exhalation valve based on whether breathing gas is delivered to the pneumatic pressure adjustment assembly. An alignment mechanism is provided for aligning the regulator with the facepiece.

Abstract: A pedestal has two sides that are opposite one another and to which various charging boxes can be mounted and electrically connected. For instance, the pedestal can have the same charging boxes mounted to the two sides and electrically connected with a power system upon which the pedestal is positioned. Instead, two different charging boxes can be mounted to the two sides. Importantly, either or both charging boxes can be easily removed by appropriate personnel and alternatively replaced with other charging boxes if, for instance, the market for needing specific electrical charging has changed or if the population of electrical vehicles needing electrical charging has grown in a new direction, by way of example.

Abstract: A compressive bump cap is provided which has an inner protection system. The compressive bump cap is stretchable between a relaxed configuration and an expanded configuration. The expanding configuration has a convex shape such that it can conform to a head of a wearer.

Abstract: A fruit cutting device includes a divider and a pusher. The divider includes a closed-shaped divider frame, blades connected with and positioned within the divider frame, and divider handles on opposing sides of the divider frame. The blades include an upper edge and a lower cutting edge. The divider is configured to be pushed in a cutting direction through a fruit to divide the fruit into sliced segments. The pusher is configured to push the sliced segments through gaps between blades in a pushing direction, which is away from the cutting edges of the blades, and is configured to connect with the divider.

Abstract: A mountable enclosure can include a base and a door pivotally connected along a vertical axis. The base and door can include electronic component mounting areas, horizontal cable management areas, and vertical cable management areas. A mounting system can include at least one enclosure and at least one bracket, the bracket having a rigid body with first, second, and third parallel surfaces wherein the first and third surfaces are on one plane and the second surface is on a different plane. The bracket can be fastened to the wall and the enclosure can be fastened to the bracket and the wall. Multiple enclosures can be installed in vertical alignment through a method that can require only one installer and the leveling of only the first bracket wherein notches in subsequent brackets are mated with pegs extending from the base of previously installed enclosures.

Abstract: A method and a high latch for a vehicle seat. The vehicle seat has a seatback pivotably coupled to a seat base and the seat base is coupled to a vehicle body having a vehicle wall. The high latch includes a hook carriage including a structural hook, with the hook carriage coupled to the seatback. A striker assembly including a striker arm is configured to selectively engage the structural hook, with the striker assembly coupled to the vehicle body. With the structural hook and striker arm engaged, the seatback will move with the striker assembly from the first position to a second position.

Abstract: An electrical socket is provided. The electrical socket includes a face, a first pair of plug receptacles and a second pair of plug receptacles. The first pair of plug receptacles is defined within the face and separated by a distance having a first center point. The first pair of plug receptacles is configured to provide an electrical connection to a power source. The second pair of plug receptacles is defined within the face, substantially perpendicular to the first pair of plug receptacles, and separated by a distance having a second center point. The second pair of plug receptacles is configured to provide an electrical connection to a power source. Further, the first and second center points are the same point.

Abstract: A kitchen utensil for removing a hard center from a food item, such as a seed or a pit from a cherry or olive, has a shield for controlling a splatter of juice or other debris that may result from the removal of the hard center. The shield is removably securable with the utensil so that cleaning is simplified and so that the kitchen utensil can be stored in a compact arrangement. The shield secures on a first portion of the utensil in an operational configuration, and is received on a different portion of the utensil in a storage configuration. The utensil may include a locking mechanism to hold the utensil in a closed position so that the storage configuration is further compact.
