  • Publication number: 20210304863
    Abstract: A medicinal dosage compliance system may comprise a docking station, a container, and transactional information component. The docking station may comprise an interaction portion. The lockable container may be configured to hold medicine for a student, and the container may be configured to operably engage with the interaction portion. The transactional information component may be in operative communication with a computing device accessible by a user. The student and the container may be identified and associated with the identified student. Medication data may be communicated to the transactional information component indicative of a dosing event. The medication data may comprise at least a type of medication, a dosage amount of medicine to be taken by the student and a time when the medicine was taken by the student. A digital medical administration record for the identified person may be configured to record the medication data.

  • Publication number: 20180289181
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a cushion and more particularly to a pillow providing cervical alignment by way of a cervical spine support structure that is positioned along a major axis of the pillow, and that can be rotated around the major axis. The pillow utilizes one or more of the following features: 1) a dimensionally correct platform for the proper sleep posture of a majority of body types on a wide array of mattress types; 2) A non-crush zone integrated cervical support roll which can be adjusted for extended durations of supportive comfort. (The roll—in and of itself—is unique compared to the standard of care because of its foam densities and its semi-hollowed out section); and 3) A sleep posture platform with a side sleeping position and a back-sleeping position. The pillow standardizes care by placement of the support roll inside a dimensionally correct platform using different materials.

  • Patent number: 8286945
    Abstract: A securing mechanism for securing cargo that may include a body, a ratchet, a lever and a release mechanism. The body may be capable of receiving a strap therethrough, wherein the strap may includes opposing ends. The ratchet may include a pair of opposing arms connected to the body and a spool rotatably connected to the arms. The spool may include a slot to receive the strap into a z-fold configuration. The lever may be rotatably attached to the arms and reciprocated between an open position and a closed position, wherein the lever may include at least one pawl to engage the ratchet wheels and may rotate the spool when the lever is reciprocated. The release mechanism may be capable of selectively disengaging the pawl from the ratchet wheel. The securing mechanism may be selectively positionable along the strap when the strap is bi-directionally gathered onto the spool.

  • Patent number: 7219865
    Abstract: A rollable sports ballast base for supporting a sports apparatus support member comprising a base member which has a first edge and a second edge, a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface is adapted to contact a support surface such as a driveway or other playing surface. There is at least one wheel assembly for contacting the support surface. One of the wheel assemblies is retractable from a lowered position to a raised position such that when in the raised position, the bottom surface of the base member substantially contacts the support surface. In the lowered position, both wheel assemblies contact the support surface thereby separating or elevating the base member from the support surface. In another embodiment, the invention consists of a similar rollable sports base for supporting a sports apparatus support member wherein one wheel assembly is retractable and comprises a pivoting connector coupled to the base member and a wheel bracket coupled to the pivoting connector.

  • Publication number: 20060142800
    Abstract: An infant teething and feeding apparatus having a child-proof locking mechanism, reducing the likelihood of the assembled apparatus becoming inadvertently or prematurely disassembled by a young child and, in turn, preventing an associated food containing member from becoming separated from the overall device, absent intervention by an adult, and thus becoming a choking hazard to the child. A handle assembly of the apparatus includes a cooling insert for chilling, or maintaining the chilled condition, of food contained within the food containing member. A cap, or cover is provided to assist in maintaining the freshness of food contained within the apparatus, as well as to prevent the food contained within the apparatus from soiling clothing or other objects while the apparatus is being transported.

  • Patent number: 6412746
    Abstract: A rollable sports ballast base for supporting a sports apparatus support member comprising a base member having a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface contacts a support surface such as a driveway or other playing surface. There is at least one wheel assembly, retractable from a lower position to a raised position. The wheel assembly includes a pivoting connector coupled to the base member and a wheel bracket coupled to the pivoting connector. The wheel bracket includes an axle, at least one wheel, and a handle extending outwardly from the wheel bracket. The handle is used to pivotally rotate the wheel assembly about a transverse axis. When the handle is rotated away from the base member, the wheel assembly is placed in a lowered position whereby the wheel contacts the support surface thus separating the bottom surface of the base member from the support surface.
