Abstract: An energy usage computing system includes one or more processors that are configured to receive data corresponding to energy usage of a plurality of devices within a property from a plurality of sensors. The energy usage computing system is also configured to analyze the data to determine an amount of energy used for at least one device of the plurality of devices, project an estimated cost of operation for the at least one device based at least in part on the determined amount of energy used for the at least one device, compare the estimated cost of operation for the at least one device to a threshold, and perform a cost-saving action in response to determining that the estimated cost of operation for the at least one device is above the threshold.

Abstract: A user device may obtain access control data which is derived based on a test result or score of a test for assessing a risk of a user of having or developing a contagious illness. The access control data may be communicated from the user device to an access control system in response to a reading of the user device by the access control system. The access control system may permit or deny entry of the user into an area based on the access control data. In some aspects, the user device is an identity (ID) or access badge. In other aspects, the user device is a mobile user device having one or more illness risk factor assessment functions, where the test result or score is obtained based on resulting data from executing the one or more illness risk factor assessment functions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system designed for the rapid preparation of anatomically customized mask employing data from a patient. The data may take the form of a multidimensional image of a target area of a patient's face obtained by optical 3 dimensional imaging, or a dot or line scan form laser imaging, pattern laser photography or stereo photography. Also disclosed is a mask that is designed so as to be unobtrusive and comfortable for the user. The body of the mask is made of a thin layer, so it is lightweight and closely hugs the targeted region upon which it rests (e.g. the nasal region). Methods for producing anatomically customized masks are also described.

Abstract: A brush device is provided for cleaning an interior of a pool. The brush device includes a brush component having a base with a back portion and a front portion. Bristles are configured to extend from the front portion. Additionally, the brush device includes a flap portion pivotally mounted to the back portion of the base. During the cleaning of the interior of the pool, the flap portion pivots from a first position to a second position, during a first direction of motion of the brush component along the interior of the pool. Additionally, during the cleaning of the interior of the pool, the flap portion pivots from the second position to the first position, during a second direction of motion of the brush component along the interior of the pool. The second direction is opposite in direction to the first direction.

Abstract: A method for injection molding a plastic applicator with a ball of bristles produced integrally with a support handle. The mold consists of two opposing parts. The mold is machined by means of a laser. The mold is laser drilled with gradually decreasing depths of bores from the midpoint of the mold parts outwardly.

Abstract: A fluid applicator system having a proximal end portion that has a male portion that can be connected to a female inner threaded hub that in turn is attached to a source of a fluid supply. The distal end terminates in a ball that is flocked with bristles that are adhered perpendicularly to the ball. The proximal end and the distal end is fluidly connected by a series of cylindrical tubes that are of decreasing outer diameter from the proximal end in the direction of the distal end.
