Abstract: A sports tetrahedron and related systems and methods of use are disclosed herein. The sports tetrahedron is generally constructed by the connection of six bars or edges that form a four-side shape. The tetrahedron may be combined with an electronic system to surprisingly provide an immersive improvement or entertainment experience for a combination of diverse sports, including, but not limited to, boxing, baseball, golf, and soccer.

Abstract: An HVAC system within a building including a ventilator, a number of sensors, and a control device. The control device has a processor that is configured to receive a request to operate the ventilator. The control device is further configured to determine a status of a minimum runtime mode of the ventilator. The minimum runtime mode operates the ventilator for a minimum amount of each time in a predefined time period. The control device is further configured to determine an air quality value. The air quality value is based on one or more measurements provided to the control device by the plurality of sensors. The control device is further configured to operate the ventilator based on the air quality value being determined to be below an acceptable value.

Abstract: An asset server receives electronic asset data from electronic asset data sources. The electronic asset server receives a request to provide a client with an electronic asset. Based on the request, and optionally using a bidding system, the electronic asset server selects a particular asset described by the electronic asset data, from a particular asset data source, to provide to the client. The electronic asset server stores a delivery record in a repository of delivery records, indicating the sending of data for the particular asset to the client. The electronic asset server receives an event message from the client describing an event that occurred at the client with respect to the particular asset. A correlation component correlates the event message to the corresponding delivery record, if possible. Based on the correlation, a notification component sends a notification message indicating the occurrence of the event to the particular asset data source.

Abstract: A thermally assisted pet dish whereby a substance is either heated or frozen to assist in the prevention of spoilage, A easily removable non-skid ring allows access for the regeneration, replacement or substitution of the substance as needed and retains the bottom were the weight is evenly distributed such that the dish is not easily over turned. Inside the vessel the insulation is placed such that BTU's from the conditioning source or sources is redirected towards the refreshment and its longevity is dramatically increased by the prevention of the BTU's escape from within the vessel.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for selectively electroplating the tip portion of an airfoil. The airfoil includes a root portion and a blade portion having a tip. At least part of the blade including the tip is coated with an insulating material. Insulating material is removed from the tip and the airfoil is mounted in a fixture so that the tip is exposed. The fixture is immersed in a sealing bath, and the fixture and at least a portion of the airfoil is encased in sealing material while leaving the tip exposed. The fixture is then immersed in an electroplating bath, the exposed tip is electroplated, and the fixture is removed from the bath. The fixture includes an elongated base member and a grip element supported on the base member. The grip element is made of a flexible material and has a plurality of slots configured for receiving the root portion of the airfoils. An electrical contact is provided in each slot so as to contact the root portion of the airfoil. A plurality of fixture may be mounted on a carousel.
