Abstract: A toolbox may be temporarily attached to a stepladder, and may provide convenient places to hold small parts, large parts, or tools. It may be configured with two compartments, one for smaller parts, and one for larger parts or tools.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a light source to stimulate photosynthesis in plants comprises at least one light output device and a processing circuit adapted to cause the at least one light output device to vary at least one of a light composition and light intensity outputted therefrom over time.

Abstract: An oral appliance includes a one-piece tray system that fits over the posterior teeth of the user and is custom-made or customized using lining material that conforms to the dentition of the wearer. The device may position the lower jaw in a slightly protruded position with respect to the upper jaw.

Abstract: A marine safety device for deployment in water upon unwanted entry by a person into the water to indicate the location of and to provide buoyancy for that person; the assembly comprises a cover for retaining components of the device as an undeployed package, an inflatable mast having a proximal end which engages the cover and a distal free end, means for inflation of the inflatable member upon contact between the device and a body of water. A weight is located at or near the proximal end of the inflatable member to bias the inflatable member to a generally upright position. The device further comprises means to enable a person in the body of water to gain floatation from the assembly via at least one grippable member attached to the inflatable member.

Abstract: A safety garment comprising; a garment body arranged for location on a torso of a wearer. The garment body includes openings to accommodate a wearers neck and arms and means for securing the garment to the torso of a wearer. The vest includes a space on the garment which receives and retains weights and a buoyancy apparatus providing means to allow a wearer to select a required amount of buoyancy. The vest also includes a harnessing assembly to allow attachment of the safety garment to a load line, the harnessing assembly allowing a user to be winched to safety allowing the garment to support the weight of a person wearing the garment.

Abstract: A valve which, when water pressure is applied, either permits or prevents water flow to the sprinkler depending on the ambient moisture level. Thereby watering plants at their optimum water needs to produce better vegetation with less waste of water and money. The device comprises a moisture indicator bar (16) attached to a hygrometer coil (20). When the hygrometer coil senses sufficient moisture, the moisture indicator bar blocks the passage of the piston rod (14), preventing water flow out through the T pipe watering device side (42). If there is insufficient moisture, the hygrometer bar does not block the passage of the piston rod, the piston seal (12) moves past the T pipe watering device side, allowing water to flow out the watering device side to the sprinkler onto the plants. When water pressure is removed, the piston return spring (24) returns the piston rod and seal back to their initial position.
