Abstract: A system may include an electronic device such as a head-mounted device and a handheld controller for controlling the electronic device. The handheld controller may have a housing with an elongated shaft extending between first and second tip portions. The handheld controller may have power receiving circuitry configured to receive power from a power source. The power source may be incorporated into an electronic device such as a wireless charging dock or stick, a battery case, or a head-mounted device. The power source may supply power through terminals that form ohmic contacts with mating terminals in the finger device or may transmit power wirelessly using capacitive coupling or inductive charging arrangements. Magnets may be used to hold and align the elongated shaft of the handheld controller on the power source.

Abstract: Battery packs that can provide power to an electronic device, can be easy to use and simple to connect to the electronic device, have a small and efficient form factor, and can readily be powered for use.

Abstract: Accessory devices for portable electronic devices are herein described. An accessory device may include a receptacle used to receive and carry an electronic device.

Abstract: A car wash water brush handle includes a wobble tube and a piston tube. The wobble tube includes an entrance hose fitting, a reinforcing hose, a flexible boot and an exit hose fitting. The piston tube includes a tube body, a piston, a piston rod, a compression spring, an exit reinforcing hose and an exit hose fitting. When water flows through the tube body, the piston rod is forced into entrance hose fitting through pressure against the piston. The piston rod prevents the flexible portion of the flexible boot from being damaged during operation. The water flows through the tube body at a pressure of 90 psi. A brush head is threaded onto the exit hose fitting. A water hose is threaded into one end of a hand grip tube and the entrance hose fitting is threaded into the other end of the hand grip tube.

Abstract: A cargo storage system has two panels pivotally mounted above a base frame for rotation between a closed position where the panels are generally co-planar and have inner longitudinal edges adjacent each other, the panels then cooperatively defining a generally flat surface, and an open position where the panels are generally parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other. The panels are pivotally mounted at opposite ends thereof adjacent outer longitudinal edges thereof. The cargo storage system further has spaced-apart foldable elements between the panels to define storage areas between the foldable elements and the panels. A releasing mechanism is included for releasing the panels from their stored position. A spring or the like preferably then moves the panels to the open position automatically. The panels are connected to each other via an actuator mechanism for movement of the panels in unison.

The rigid elements preferably include storage means such as cup holders, trays, bins, insulated coolers, soda or water/milk jug holders, storage boxes with or without lids, or storage wells. Optional partition dividers may be provided. The dividers may include at least one long reinforced divider between opposite walls of the liner, and optionally at least one short divider between the long divider and a wall of the liner, or between two long dividers.

Abstract: A container for retaining a fluent therapeutic has a fluid transfer tube having a proximal end in fluid communication with an interior space of the container, a distal end accessible outside of the container and an inner surface defining a flow passage through which fluent therapeutic is delivered from the interior space of the container. At least a portion of the tube inner surface is textured such that the inner surface has a surface roughness equal to or greater than about 20 microinches. In a method for making such a container, the fluid transfer tube is extruded from an extruder and its inner surface is textured to have a surface roughness equal to or greater than about 20 microinches. The tube is secured to the container with a proximal end in fluid communication with the interior space of the container and a distal end accessible outside of the container.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of using a medical tubing with a pump for administering measured amounts of a beneficial fluid over time to a patient. The method includes the steps of providing a material selected from the group consisting of ethylene homopolymers and ethylene copolymers, wherein the ethylene copolymers are obtained by copolymerizing ethylene with a comonomer selected from the group consisting of alkyl olefins, alkyl esters of a carboxylic acid and lower alkene esters of a carboxylic acid, or blends thereof; providing an extruder with an extrusion die; extruding the material into a medical tubing; providing a surface modifier solution; preheating the surface modifier solution to a temperature within the range of 30-95° C.; applying the preheated solution onto the tubing at it exits the extrusion die when the tubing is in a molten state or a semi-molten state; and pumping fluid through the tubing with the pump.
