Abstract: A skimmer apparatus is provided to separate a less dense upper liquid layer from on top of a denser lower liquid layer. The skimmer apparatus includes a skimmer vessel at least partially submerged within a fluid and preferentially receive the less dense fluid. A first conduit is located within the skimmer vessel by a plurality of support arms. The plurality of support arms affixes the first conduit's vertical and radial location within skimmer vessel. In use, the skimmer height is set to collect the less dense fluid into the skimmer vessel. A lower end of the first conduit is in fluid communication with the inside of the skimmer vessel and the collected fluid therein. An upper end of the first conduit is configured for being suctioned thereby withdrawing fluid from the skimmer vessel.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for deployment of skimmer devices used for recovery of a less dense fluid floating over a denser fluid within a containment area utilize a cart mounted skimmer tethered to a vehicle.

Abstract: A separator apparatus, system and method is provided to be installed into a containment area and is operable to separate a less dense upper liquid layer from on top of a denser lower liquid layer. The separator apparatus includes a skimmer vessel and a height adjustment assembly to set the vessel's vertical position such that it is partially submerged within the fluid and preferentially receives the less dense fluid.

Abstract: A processor may receive a media frame collection. The media frame collection may include two or more frames. The processor may identify, from the media frame collection, a location of an entity. The processor may determine whether the location of the entity is within a threshold location in regard to the other two or more frames in the media frame collection. The processor may display the one or more frames that exceed the threshold location to a user.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus, system, or kit that includes separate components that can be used together during a workout. In one embodiment, the exercise kit includes a hub having a monolithic body portion and sleeve portions thereon. During use, only the sleeve portions contact the surface upon which the hub is located. The hub also has an annular groove formed therein and a bore formed therethrough. The kit also includes an elongated bar that is configured to interact with the hub in multiple positions to enable user to perform difference exercises. The different positions include: (1) a first exercise position wherein the elongated bar is positioned within the bore and portions of the elongated bar protrude from the first and second ends of the monolithic body portion; and (2) a second exercise position wherein the elongated bar is positioned within the annular groove.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus, system, or kit that includes separate components that can be used together during a workout. In one embodiment, the exercise system includes a cylindrical body, an elongated bar, and one or more resistance bands. The elongated bar may be a one-piece bar or a multi-piece bar. The cylindrical body extends along a longitudinal axis and has an annular groove formed into its outer surface that surrounds the longitudinal axis and a bore extending through the cylindrical body in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The dimensions of the bar, the groove, and the bore are such that the bar can be inserted into and through the bore and the bar can be positioned within the annular groove to achieve different types of exercise. Furthermore, the resistance bands can be coupled to the elongated bar.

Abstract: A brain implant device includes a housing containing communication and control electronics coupled to a conduit configured for monitoring signals from a brain's motor cortex and providing stimulation signals to the brain's sensory cortex.

Abstract: The invention is a hollow electrode implantation device for inserting a flexible electrode, such as a Memberg electrode, in living tissue. The inserter has a longitudinal slot that accepts the electrode into the hollow center of the electrode implantation device. The slot is offset at least once forming one or more offset slots, where retainer tabs define the slots and assure retention of the electrode in the implantation device during insertion of the electrode into living tissue.
