Abstract: Tent couplers include a pivot interlocking member and a bridged interlocking member. The bridged interlocking member comprises a bridge that extends between a tether-receiving portion and a tent support-receiving portion that includes a tent support receiver configured to couple to a tent support. The pivot interlocking member includes a tent fabric receiver configured to couple to a tent fabric. The pivot interlocking member defines a bridge-receiving aperture and an entrance slot interconnected thereto. Tent couplers are selectively configured between a linking configuration and an interlocked configuration. In the linking configuration, the pivot interlocking member is positioned for insertion and removal of the bridge from the bridge-receiving aperture via the entrance slot.

Abstract: A handle for a container, the container including a peripheral wall that defines an internal area. The handle includes a mount having a locking recess and a body including a pivot arm and a locking arm. The pivot arm is pivotally connected to the mount. When positioned in an operating position, the locking arm is biased toward the locking recess so as to secure the locking arm in place relative to the mount. When positioned in a storage position, the body is rotated about the pivot arm to a location above or in the internal area.

Abstract: The tents include a tent frame and an outer tent fabric. The tent frame forms an assembled tent frame defining a base and is configured to support the outer tent fabric above the base. The outer tent fabric is configured to be supported by the assembled tent frame to surround an inner space that interfaces the base of the assembled tent frame. The tent is assembled when the outer tent fabric is operably supported by the assembled tent frame, and the assembled tent is configured to interconvert between a shelter configuration and a canopy configuration. In the shelter configuration, the base of the assembled tent frame extends along the support surface. In the canopy configuration, the base of the assembled tent frame is inclined relative to the support surface. Tents further include a lift coupler configured to interconnect the assembled tent with a tent-elevating support in the canopy configuration.

Abstract: A reliability cover that is disposed over at least one of an integrated circuit package and a Si die of the integrated circuit package is disclosed. The integrated circuit package is mountable to a printed circuit board via a plurality of solder balls. The reliability cover is configured to reduce a difference in a coefficient of thermal expansion between the integrated circuit package and the printed circuit board, and between the Si die and a substrate of the integrated circuit package by a threshold value.

Abstract: A Read Only Memory (ROM) cell array includes: a first transistor coupled to a first word line; a second transistor coupled to a second word line; and a third transistor disposed between the first transistor and the second transistor, the third transistor having a first gate terminal permanently coupled to a power rail.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an IV cannula with tip protector assembly including a tip protector assembly slidably and coaxially arranged over a needle and having a locking mechanism which is automatically triggered during withdrawal of the needle after successful placement of the catheter tube in patient's vein. The tip protector assembly securely locks the tip and prevents it from coming out of either and of the tip protector. The tip protector assembly thereby prevents any possibility of needle stick injuries to the person placing the catheter tube inside the body of the patient, and hence preventing them from common needle stick hazards.

Abstract: An improved valve for an inflatable device includes a valve port received within an aperture of the inflatable device, a valve seat having fluid apertures provided therein, and a diaphragm connected to the valve seat in a manner that occludes the fluid apertures when fluid is not forced therethrough. The improved valve may, at any time, be manipulated so as to physically remove the valve seat from the valve port to facilitate deflation of the inflatable device and physically insert the valve seat into the valve port to facilitate inflation of the inflatable device.

Abstract: A power harvesting circuit includes a new transmitter topology that ensures that no junction of thin oxide transistors forming the power harvesting circuit will experience a voltage across junctions of the transistors that is more than a maximum tolerable junction voltage. A supplemental power feed circuit operates to provide a supplemental feed current to components in a transmitter circuit when power harvested from a receiver circuit is insufficient to adequately power these components of the transmitter circuit, which may occur during high frequency operation of communications channels coupling the transmitter and receiver circuits. The supplemental power feed circuit also operates to sink a shunt current when power harvested from the receiver circuit is more than is needed to power the components in the transmitter circuit.
