Abstract: A breathing equipment training device and a method for breathing training using a breathing equipment training device. The breathing equipment training device includes a shell and a diaphragm. The shell includes a first opening and a second opening, the first opening configured to be inserted into a breathing opening in a mask to form a connection with the breathing opening of the mask, and the second opening configured to be exposed to ambient air. The diaphragm is positioned in an inner cavity of the shell about the second opening, and configured to impede airflow into the shell through the second opening.

Abstract: A magnifying cosmetic mirror for use in applying cosmetics at the eye. The cosmetic mirror is constructed to have a base mirror and side mirrors extending at obtuse angles from opposite sides of the base mirror. The side mirrors are constructed as magnifying mirrors, such as spherical concave mirrors, of a focal length that provides a magnifying view of the eye when placed above the base mirror. The magnification of the side mirrors is selected according to the separation of the side mirrors from one another, and the angles at which they extend from the base mirror.

Abstract: An apparatus, breathing equipment training device, and method for breathing equipment training. The apparatus includes a shell and a diaphragm. The shell includes a first opening and a second opening. The first opening is configured to be inserted into a breathing opening in a mask to form a connection with the breathing opening of the mask. The diaphragm is inside the shell and positioned about the second opening. The diaphragm is configured to impede airflow into the shell through the second opening. The first opening can be defined by a first ellipse insertable into the breathing opening of the mask. The second opening can be defined by a second ellipse through which airflow enters into the shell. A diameter of the second ellipse can be greater than a diameter of the first ellipse.

Abstract: A fire extinguisher apparatus and related system is described for automatically suppressing stovetop fires. The fire extinguisher apparatus includes a canister restrained in a first location where the canister is operable to suppress fires on a rear burner of a stovetop. The canister is biased and movable to a second location where the canister is operable to suppress fires on a front burner of the stovetop. A trigger mechanism is provided for automatically moving the canister to the second location in response to a fire on the front burner. The fire extinguisher system includes an arrangement of fire extinguisher apparatuses wherein canisters are movable between the apparatuses to prevent collisions with external obstacles.

Abstract: A method for repairing and strengthening pipes by creating a structural reinforced composite liner within the existing pipe. The liner is created by helically winding a tensile reinforcement material on the inside wall of a pipe and encapsulating it in a hardening matrix material. The reinforcement material is helically wound around the inside wall of the pipe by an installation device. The installation device is configured to relieve and/or prevent the development of torsional stress in the reinforcement material that is created by the act of helically winding it onto the inside wall of a pipe, allowing the reinforcement material to lay flat against the pipe wall without twisting or buckling. The structural reinforced composite can be configured to supplement the strength of the existing pipe or to function as a stand-alone pipe within the existing pipe.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein relates to methods, systems and apparatuses for segmental duct couplers for use during and after formation of concrete segments. Segmental duct coupling systems can include a number of components for coupling ducts both during and after formation of the concrete segments. In one aspect, the coupling system can include a locking member and forming member disposed between coupling ends of segmental ducts. In another aspect, a coupling system can include a deformable member disposed between coupling ends of ducts cast within pre-cast and match-cast concrete segments.
