Abstract: An eyewear retention device that comprises two retaining devices, each meant to be positioned on a temple member of a pair of eyeglasses. The retainer devices are meant to be positioned between the concha and pinna of the ear so that hold the eyeglasses on the nose of the wearer securely at the wearer's desired portion without any slippage of the eyeglasses along the nose.

Abstract: An eyewear retention device that comprises two elongate members, each having a receiving end for receiving an end of a temple member of said eyewear, a connecting end having a magnetic fastener, and an elongate portion for wrapping around said human head is disclosed. The magnetic fasteners of the elongate members may be magnetically engaged to each other behind said human head and snuggly hold the eyewear at the bridge of the nose.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for securing one or more wires or cables relative to a conduit, for example, an underground conduit, an above ground conduit, or a conduit disposed in a building. The inhibiting device can hinder or prevent the removal of such wires or cables from the conduit by compressing the wires or cables between a clamp and a portion of the inhibiting device and/or conduit at a location that is not co-axial with a central axis of the conduit. As a result, a resistive frictional load is applied to the wires or cables which has a vector generally parallel and opposite to a removal force and a vector generally perpendicular to the removal force. In some embodiments, the inhibiting device can include a bolt, fabric, nylon, polymer, or compression type clamp. In some embodiments, a system can include a plurality of clamps which are transversely and axially separated.

Abstract: An apparatus for receiving a fluid, such as degraded oil, from an oil filter to be replaced, removably mounted on an engine, during removal of the oil filter, the apparatus including a housing defining a receptacle adapted to receive the fluid; and a securing member mounted on the housing for releasibly attaching the housing to the oil filter in receiving relation to the fluid during removal of the oil filter.

Abstract: A remotely controlled motorized assembly for adjusting the vertical position of the doffer support shaft in the harvesting units a cotton harvesting machine. The assembly is retrofittable for use on existing harvesting units of cotton harvesting machines the doffers of which are designed to be adjusted using a manual adjustment screw. The invention includes a motor which is attached to the harvesting unit, intermediate gears, and a special opening or collar which fits onto the head of the manual adjustment screw of the doffer support shaft. The motorized assembly allows automatic or semi-automatic adjustment of the doffer support shaft without opening the harvesting units or shutting down the harvesting machine, saving considerable time and energy and promoting safety. Bipolar motors may be employed to allow for adjustment in either direction. A microprocessor and sensors may also be employed for automatic monitoring and adjustment of the doffer support shafts.

Abstract: An apparatus for resisting adhesion by materials on a movable assembly, the apparatus having a body member adapted to be mounted on the movable assembly at a position susceptible to the adhesion and which is so constructed as to be capable of incurring contact from the materials substantially without the adhesion resulting from such contact.
