Abstract: An insulated beverage holder comprises a cylindrical body to receive a beverage container and a lid hingedly connected to the body. The body comprises a bottom, cylindrical side wall, and open top. The lid comprises two sections. A first section of the lid is hingedly connected to the body. The second section of the lid is hingedly connected to the first section. The lid is movable between a closed position, partially open position, and fully open position.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a physical vapor deposition process for forming a coating on a substrate of an ophthalmic lens in a vacuum deposition chamber. The process can include depositing a multilayer interference stack having a plurality of low refractive index layers and a plurality of high refractive index layers on the substrate by: depositing one or more of the plurality of high refractive index layers by contacting the substrate with a vapor phase pulse of one or more high refractive index source chemicals simultaneously while contacting the substrate with an energetic ion beam generated by an ion source; and depositing each of the plurality of low refractive index layers by contacting the substrate with a vapor phase pulse of one or more low refractive index source chemicals.

Abstract: A system for reducing carbonaceous material is disclosed. The system includes a compartment configured to receive the carbonaceous material. An auger is located within the compartment and centered about a drive shaft. A rotational drive mechanism is coupled to the drive shaft and configured to rotate the auger to enable the carbonaceous material to travel through the compartment as the auger is rotated. A plurality of lifting arms are coupled to a surface of the auger. The lifting arms are configured to lift and stir the carbonaceous material as the auger is rotated. At least one microwave generator is coupled to the compartment and configured to radiate the carbonaceous material as it travels through the compartment to reduce the carbonaceous material into at least one chemical component of the carbonaceous material.

Abstract: A wheelchair lift configured to be foldable into quadrants by a two-step folding process, wherein the first step folds the platform assembly crosswise and the second step folds the platform assembly in the lengthwise direction. To facilitate the folding, the platform assembly includes first and second inner platforms, and first and second outer platforms. In the first step of the folding process, the first and second inner platforms fold with respect to the first and second outer platforms. In the second step of the folding process, the second inner and outer platforms fold with respect to the first inner and outer platforms.
